UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

These features are fixed. Why are all the Italian cups on one side? Nevertheless I see Real Madrid vs Napoli finals. Because Chelsea with is Their current form can't beat Real Madrid the defending champion. Napoli gonna win AC Milan and other Italian cups in the group to get the final ticket.

I assume there will be an Italian finalist, not necessarily Napoli even though they are the first and the best in Serie A but they have their moments of weakness and Milan or Inter could surprise them.
Real Madrid in the other side is experienced with Champions League games but Bayer and City are pretty well right now and passing them will not be easy at all.

Yes, I agree, maybe Real Madrid will go through this phase well because Chelsea is in a bad state right now, so they have a chance to be in the semifinals. But in the semi-finals they will be faced with a strong team between Manchester City or Bayern Munich, it will not be easy for them at all. Manchester City is a strong club, as well as Bayern Munich, both of them will beat each other and challenge Real Madrid (most likely, because I see Real Madrid will be in the semifinals). IN last season, Real Madrid almost lost to Manchester City before they made an extraordinary comeback. And also if Bayern Munich were their challenger then they would be as strong as Manchester City.

Honestly, it's still hard to tell if Ac Milan or Napoli will win because there is still a chance for both teams and we still have a month left to start the game. Having seen the last few games Napoli played so far, I can safely say that Napoli won the last one they had with a 2-1 result. Technically, Napoli can have a better chance if they perform like they do normally and have the full squad on board when playing.

I don't doubt Napoli's quality in Serie A this season, they are very good. But when in the Champions League, everything will be much different in my opinion, because every club that is here must have a strong mentality. Napoli have an advantage over AC milan now, but mentally I will go to AC Milan. It is very difficult to determine who will make it to the semifinals between these two clubs. I will look forward to meeting them in the second round of Serie A first.

It looks like one of the Italian teams will be in the finale for certain. Benfica's job won't be easy at all against Inter in my opinion. But this matchup will still be very competitive for sure. Both of these teams are really strong and I see them nearly equal to each other in performance. But I still see Inter one step ahead of Benfica here. It is because of Inter's playing style actually.

I think they have the strength to stop Benfica now. They can do a really good job at keeping Benfica away from scoring goals easily just as they did it to Porto newly.

Bookmakers rate Benfica as the favorite (albeit slightly) of the upcoming confrontation:

To Qualify

SL Benfica 1.85

Inter Milano 1.95

It seems to me that this is an obvious and correct assessment, given that Benfica outperformed both PSG and Juventus in the group, and then played much more confidently than Inter in the 1/8 finals. I would even say that Inter is overrated simply by virtue of its name.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Fun matches through this draw. And also matches with teams that are evenly matched. Real Madrid seems to me to be the favorite against Chelsea, but Porto and Inter Milan that is about 50-50 to continue. Bayern Munich and City already against each other. Some people would rather see this as a finale, so would I, but a meeting would have been possible. Now in the quarterfinals, otherwise possibly in the final or semifinal. It's hard to say who's going through. The last time I remember this game, Manchester City won away at Bayern Munich and ended in a 2-3 victory for City. But earlier that year, Munich won 1-3 away at City, which was really one of the best matches Bayern has ever played, I read.

[Falconer]

For me, Napoli is also the favorite in that match, and I think that it has the best chance of reaching the final of the Champions League from this part of the draw.
In the Italian league this season Napoli is very dominant and in two games I don't believe they can lose to any team in the Italian league right now.
After a very long time, Italian football will most likely, if there are no big surprises, have a representative in the final of this competition, which is great news for Italian football.

Napoli is one of the favourites, but I don't expect Milan to be the weakest team Napoli have encountered in the Champions League this season. I really hope Milan's performance is different from their performance in Serie A, this is the Champions League where both have the same chance to qualify for the semi-finals.

I don't even remember the last time they had 3 representatives at this stage of the competition.
Does this mean that the Italian league is raising its quality and finally becoming competitive with the Spanish and English leagues?

I know it's not a fluke for a representative of Serie A, but the hard work of these three teams is really worthy of attention.
I agree that there are many new things that they will prove in the Champions League this season, especially about the strength of Napoli. But let's see how many teams will qualify for the semi-finals this season, I think 1/3 of the teams will probably be.

[visionE2]

The results of the UCL draw are very unpredictable. I think that the Man City vs Bayern match is the final too early. Because it so happens that the two teams are the most favored in percentage terms for the UCL champions this season. They had also beaten each other in the UCL the previous season and had been in the same group in the group stage. Though I hope they can meet in the final. But how else can that be the result of the drawing, you have to accept it as it is.

[sana54210]

Bayern Munich had a solid defense both during the Pep Guardiola and Nagelsmann eras, but with the composition of the players that have now changed. Man City has the advantage because Pep Guardiola has led Bayern Munich for quite a long time and coupled with Haaland presence, Man City can tear apart Bayern Munich's defense a little more. In my opinion, it's 40:60 for this big match, because it's Bayern Munich who will feel a little overwhelmed, at least they have to be able to control Haaland fast movements, who always chase the ball's reflection in the penalty box.

I would guess that they possibly could, City has Haaland after all and I agree that he could be amazing and beat them, but the reality is that we are talking about a situation where it won't be getting that much easy, Bayern is Bayern after all and even though City would be my favorites as well, I wouldn't really consider them to be that great at this moment, I would consider them to be equal powers going against each other with one of them have a special player that breaks the tie.

If Haaland plays well then they can easily win, but if Haaland is defended well and doesn't play that well then I would guess that Bayern could end up getting a win too.

[Zackgeno96]

I don't know who is the favorite in Bayern Munich against City. I think it comes down to the form of Haaland's day, that is a player who will decide this game or not. Man City has Haaland, Bayern don't have a player of that caliber I think. But they are both very strong teams, as a team collectively but also individually. The first game is in the week of April 10, so in just over 3 weeks we will see the first game. I'm looking forward to this match. For Real Madrid, this seems like a golden opportunity to advance to the semi-finals. Chelsea is an ideal opponent on paper, I think for a CL quarterfinal, but Chelsea may also think that of Real Madrid.

[Oneandpure]

Drawing the Champions League quarter-finals is little interesting because ther eare have potential for Serie A team to qualify for the finals, but there is still a possibility that if Benfica is able to win against Inter Milan in the quarter-finals and beat the winner between Napoli vs Milan, Serie A might not. got a team in champions league final.

Chances for Serie A team to advance to the Champions League final depend on the outcome of the Benfica vs Inter match, if Inter can beat Benfica then for the first time since the 2015 season when Juventus made it to the final it will come true again this season. Looking forward with Inter Milan could eliminated Benfica and make Serie A team get one slot for Champion League final team.

The Manchester City-Bayern Munich match was an early final.  Bayern Munich had come out of 2 tough matches with Psg.  Maybe they were expecting an easier opponent and they were matched with the toughest opponent.  I think we will meet two very good matches.

These features are fixed. Why are all the Italian cups on one side? Nevertheless I see Real Madrid vs Napoli finals. Because Chelsea with is Their current form can't beat Real Madrid the defending champion. Napoli gonna win AC Milan and other Italian cups in the group to get the final ticket.

I assume there will be an Italian finalist, not necessarily Napoli even though they are the first and the best in Serie A but they have their moments of weakness and Milan or Inter could surprise them.
Real Madrid in the other side is experienced with Champions League games but Bayer and City are pretty well right now and passing them will not be easy at all.

I remain convinced that Napoli will do a good job against Milan in the quarter-finals later. even though in the first leg Nopoli will play as an away team, it is difficult for Milan to overthrow Napoli which incidentally is currently in a very positive trend. it can be said, at this time Napoli is in a state of on fire even though it had experienced two defeats in its domestic league.

For Milan, their performance has not been so stable this season. even before that, Stefano Pioli's team had experienced a downward trend before they bounced back. unfortunately, their performance is not yet stable. but that doesn't mean Milan doesn't have a chance, it's just that the chance they have is very small when compared to Napoli.

Meanwhile, once again Madrid is the favorite to qualify for the next phase. because, the opponent they will face is currently in a phase that is not okay. although we can't take it for granted, however, on paper, Madrid has a higher probability than Chelsea to qualify for the next stage.
On the other hand, the City vs Bayern match should have been the top match, a final that was too premature. IMO, one of the teams that won this match, is more entitled to go to the final round match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

With the way Chelsea and Tottenham go about the games they play can we say they are not going to qualify for the next level Tottenham are still without the coach due to illness.
Ac Milan are more ready for the next level they look set and put. I have followed the training section well

Milan won the first match 1-0. Tottenham should definitely show their strength in the home game. Milan have been weak in Serie A lately. We saw this once again with his defeat in the last match. Tottenham has a solid striker line. Kane and Son are the strongest players for Tottenham. At the moment, these forwards are their biggest trump card to pass the round.

Milan is a team that really wants to go far, and the way they are playing, they have very good fútbol, I would like to see Ibra play because he is a very emblematic player, he gives Milan another tonic when he is inside, In particular, Milan have everything to be able to win their games, only sometimes I don't understand their strategies, I know that the technical director has his reasons for not using a formation that is quite focused on attack, because he has it to do it, on the other hand Tottenham I think Harry Kane is the best player here, and thanks to him I see Tottenham in great shape and showing beautiful fútbol.

Eventually Real Madrid is a favorite team to win the "Orejona" it is not a myth or anything like that, I know that for now Chelsea is going through a very good moment, because they have won some victories, but I don't think that they can do nothing against Real Madrid, however, anything can happen, Chelsea's football has improved a lot, on the other hand, Napoli is a team that has a lot to do to reach the final, but they will meet a great rival, for now what remains for us is to see which team prepares best for this UCL, it looks very interesting, anything can happen.

and it's true, haaland will again be in the spotlight of many people this season, this striker is in top form this season and that will be a serious threat to Bayern.

in the UCL draw I think Real Madrid vs Chelsea and Manchester City vs Bayern are the most difficult games in my opinion.

The statistics are indeed in Chelsea's favor for the last three games. But I didn't hesitate to choose Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals. My hope is that Madrid were able to win by a large margin. This is because their second leg has to go to England. As for Bayern Munich and Man City, this is more exciting because we will see Haaland's proof. They will be up against an experienced team in the UCL. But looking at the statistics of three games, Munich can only win once. The first leg will be at the Emirates stadium, maybe Man City will find it difficult to win. But I think Ibang's results are good enough for Munich.

[CLS63]

Chelsea's job will be really difficult against Real Madrid in this stage. I don't give Chelsea a big chance about eliminating them and most people would think the same as well. Because I just can't see a big difference between Chelsea and Liverpool now. Both of these teams are having a year which is full of struggle. Chelsea are trying to improve their game recently but it is still very difficult for them to resist Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are one of the strongest candidates of the title and the last champions at the same time. They are great at benefiting from vulnerabilities of their opponent now. Chelsea's end can be similar to Liverpool's against them.

Initially I also thought so, that there was no chance for Chelsea to qualify for the semifinals by getting rid of Real Madrid. But in fact, there are still people or users here who think and or predict Chelsea will qualify for the final, of course that is a prediction that is a minority prediction. Because of course, the performance of Real Madrid and Chelsea this season is clearly very different.

Therefore, I am personally very surprised when someone assumes that Chelsea will be able to beat Real Madrid, because the record on paper is of course very clear that at this moment Chelsea is not having a good performance. Therefore, it is very unlikely that Chelsea will be able to beat Real Madrid, let alone to get to the final so obviously that is a result that will not happen.

Reflecting on previous conditions, Chelsea also failed last season during the Tuchel era, even though at that time they were in pretty good shape, now they still have a lot of gaps so even though some people still think this is possible, I agree with what you said, this very small of the possibility of Madrid qualifying.
Potter still needs to make a real splash for Chelsea's form if they are to be counted on.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

No chance Chelsea make the final, they’ve spent record breaking amounts on largely mediocre footballers. I’ve never seen such a display of irresponsible, wasteful spending. I’m surprised Potter is still in a job. I have no doubt that Real will deal with Chelsea comfortably. Even if by some miracle Chelsea get to the semi final they have Bayern or Man City awaiting them.

If you want to bet on an outsider or a less fashionable team, look no further than Napoli. I really like the look of them.

[Rengga Jati]

The results of the UCL draw are very unpredictable. I think that the Man City vs Bayern match is the final too early. Because it so happens that the two teams are the most favored in percentage terms for the UCL champions this season.

Well, this match is a big match, this will attract many eyes to watch. Both are big clubs and they are on their great performance during this season. So, many people have expectations that one of them or both are in the final. But actually, there are also some candidates taht are also more expected for the final, Real Madrid. So, this will be more interesting to see one of them to be in the final vs Real Madrid 
but once more, football is unpredictable, even PSG has failed. So, no one can predict accurately who will win and will be in the final.

[Pulsar77]

Manchester City v Bayern Munich matchup looks quite balanced to me. Or maybe I can say Manchester City are even one step ahead of their opponent in this. The changes in the squads of these teams so far make me favour Manchester City more. Because there is a fully visible Haaland effect over Manchester City in this season. He has been scoring like a goal machine since the beginning of the season. Especially his performance against Leipzig was something very interesting with 5 goals.

On the other hand Bayern Munich have parted ways with Lewandowski which was a huge loss for them. But they have still been able to preserve their strength and discipline especially in the Champions League. Guardiola just need to warn and prepare his players strongly for this matchup. Otherwise they might have the same result PSG had against Bayern Munich.

[ginsan]

I would guess that they possibly could, City has Haaland after all and I agree that he could be amazing and beat them, but the reality is that we are talking about a situation where it won't be getting that much easy, Bayern is Bayern after all and even though City would be my favorites as well, I wouldn't really consider them to be that great at this moment, I would consider them to be equal powers going against each other with one of them have a special player that breaks the tie.

If Haaland plays well then they can easily win, but if Haaland is defended well and doesn't play that well then I would guess that Bayern could end up getting a win too.

Haaland may have enough experience in facing teams from representatives of the Bundesliga, as he did when he faced Leipzig in the round of 16 by scoring 5 goals. however bayern munich are a very competent team in the Champions league they have strong ambition in every game they have played.  Pep will be up against his former team therefore Manchester City have two people who really know the Bundesliga team.

this match is a big match that will be decisive to become the strongest in the Champions league. I prefer Manchester City to be the winner in this match because the mentality of the Manchester City players in the Champions League this season is ambitious enough to win the UCL trophy.

[nurilham]

I assume there will be an Italian finalist, not necessarily Napoli even though they are the first and the best in Serie A but they have their moments of weakness and Milan or Inter could surprise them.

I also think the same because I guess there will be 2 Italian teams in the next round. I predict Napoli and Inter Milan will qualify for the next round. Since only 4 teams in the semifinal, surely a big chance for 1 Italian team to go to the final round. Although I'm not sure which Italian team to be in the final round, I hope Napoli will be the finalist.

Real Madrid in the other side is experienced with Champions League games but Bayer and City are pretty well right now and passing them will not be easy at all.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Man City are experienced teams in UCL. They are all big teams, too. But Real Madrid has better luck in UCL. I personally think that they have a big chance to reach the final round again this season. While for Bayern Munich and Man City, one of them must be eliminated in this round.
