UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[X-ray]

Bayern Munich on the other hand are doing really good despite losing a very important player in their attacking line like Lewandowski. I wonder if their disciplined game plan will be helpful for them to eliminate Manchester City as well. But I'm favouring the English team for the semi finals.

It must not be a problem as bayern has a good replacement for lewandowski and that's choupo moting who has become a secondary striker before once lewandowski was still playing in bayern. Moting is also as good as lewandowski as he has saving bayern so many times.

Just because there was not lewandowski and you think that bayern was so weak compared with manchester city with haaland. Nagelsman is also very optimistic to get manchester city as a new opponent in the last 8.
Bayern and manchester city were also facing each other last season when manchester city was ably eliminating bayern from UCL. Nagelsmann has been learning a lot from the previous meetings against city and bayern will come back stronger.

The different thing must be in haaland caused by manchester city didn't have him as main striker. bayern will see that as a huge challenge for the club to go to the semifinal.

I think that nagelsman will be trying to prepare a strategy that will be stopping haland.

Even though Bayern Munich are performing at the highest level in the Bundesliga, the quarter-final match against Manchester City in the Champions League will be very competitive. If Bayern Munich want to beat Manchester City, they will have to play at their maximum and apply new tactics.

Even if Chelsea had to carry out a defensive strategy in the first leg match later, it would surely end in conceding goals first. Because we know the first leg match will take place at home to Real Madrid and of course the Los Blancos squad want to win the match, as well as score lots of goals to widen the aggregate gap in the second leg later at home to Chelsea. But indeed Chelsea have had bad luck so far in the domestic league and they are still trying to find their best game. It's quite difficult and maybe they will be eliminated early via the decider in the first leg later.

The almighty Santiago Bernabéu stadium that you're talking about, isn't that the same stadium Chelsea went with a lesser quality squad last season than we have now and defeated Real Madrid 3-2 the last time we meant. We were even leading 3-0 until the later minutes of the game that they tried performing
their usual comebacks bit couldn't although they still progress due to winning the first game at Stamford bridge. If any club is scared of Real Madrid it isn't Chelsea. The only thing I'm scared about is our manager Graham Potter, he's used to making substitutions that spoils games instead of making them better and that's my only worry playing Real Madrid.

Seems we're forgetting so fast that we defeated Real Madrid in our road to lift the 2021 trophy before they did the same thing in their way to lift the 2022 trophy. I don't see Real Madrid lifting this years trophy so I have a very strong believe they can't defeat us. Lets forget how we're playing in the premier league, champions league is different. Chelsea vs Real Madrid last five meeting has ended with both clubs winning two games each and a draw so they aren't like a top team when they play us and we aren't scared of playing them. I think where we might have some challenges, is playing Bayern Munich in the semi finals.

I also have the same thoughts about the first leg match Chelsea vs Real Madrid. because Chelsea's consistency is even still unstable at this time. although there has been a slight improvement in Chelsea's game. but this will not be enough to compensate for Real Madrid, which has had good consistency from the start. and a defensive strategy could possibly be a worse outcome for Chelsea . because this is the same as giving Real Madrid the opportunity to build more attacks. And as we know, Real Madrid's forwards are very good at creating gaps in the opponent's defensive area.

The Real Madrid vs Chelsea match is no stranger to the Champions League and there are unique facts when these two teams met in the UCL.
In the 2020/2021 season, these two teams met in the semifinals, Chelsea won 3-1 on aggregate and managed to lift the UCL trophy that season. Next, in the 2021/2022 season, Real Madrid and Chelsea met again in the quarter-finals. Real Madrid won over Chelsea 5-4 on aggregate and managed to become champions at the end of the season.

If we look at the conditions of the two teams this season, Real Madrid is superior in all respects to Chelsea. Consistency in matches is one of the factors that strengthens the assumption that Real Madrid will move on to the semifinals easily.

Will the winner of this game be the UCL champion again?

Graham Potter is a local champion and what Chelsea needs us a good coach
He cannot defeat Real Madrid, the winners from this fixtures won't be the Champions League winners
History don't have any thing here, Real Madrid are in a better position to win the game.

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.

Like the match between Barcelona and Manchester United, the match between Bayern and Manchester City will be like the UCL final.  I am happy to watch 2 beautiful matches.  Bayern have the power to knock out Manchester City.  As a result of these double matches, the team that will go to the next round will probably be the champion.

it's a shame these two strong teams have to meet early. so that one of them will end up in the quarter-finals. Bayern and Manchester city are indeed the superior teams, even since the group stage we have all been talking about the advantages of Man city and Bayern. And I think we definitely don't want to miss this fight. because surely many are waiting for it. even the level of play might feel like it's in the final. so yeah this match will be very interesting. I personally can't see which one will be superior. but I prefer to support Man City in that match later.

[bekti3]

One from Napoli or Milan will be eliminated and most likely the one who will be eliminated will be Milan.
On the other hand, Inter is actually still at risk of going home sooner. Benfica this season has been quite strong and the proof that they are on top beating PSG and destroying Club Brugge in the round of 16 is definitely proof that they are very different this season. Even though Inter is different from Club Brugge, of course, Benfica's defense is also very strong now so this possibility is very difficult for Inter to escape easily.

Inter Milan doesn't have a good performance, they only win with small margins for 1 or 2 goals, while Benfica is really beat their opponent with big margins. Benfica and Napoli are nothing to lose playing in Champions League, because they don't have any pressure just like the other clubs who have a lot fans and everyone are hoping they will become a champion. In this matter Benfica and Napoli can play like they want without any fear.

Indeed in this case what you say is true, but of course when you look at the conditions with Benfica's better productivity I think it is also becoming more and more difficult for Inter here.
The conditions are still quite balanced but in this case I am still leaning towards Benfica who are currently very good in the Champions League and in their domestic league. Even though from an experience point of view Inter is better, seeing their condition in terms of goal productivity, I honestly doubt it.

[Spack17]

It feels like this is the end of the road for Milan in the Champions League. But they have come a long way with this performance level in this season anyway.

Because I don't see there is any way for them to eliminate Napoli. Napoli are not only dominating the Serie A. They are amazing in the Champions League as well. They demolished Frankfurt on aggregate without having a difficulty. Milan might be a little better than Frankfurt now as they have pushed Tottenham outside the tournament. But they are still way below Napoli in terms of effort. Napoli are strong in every way and they already defeated Milan in this season before. I expect Napoli to win both legs.

After seeing how Ac Milan got a crushing defeat to Udinese in Serie A, of course, everyone will doubt Ac Milan in the Champions League. because from the match against Udinese we can see how Ac milan's defense has many gaps and this must be corrected before going against Napoli in the quarter finals later.

whereas Napoli they have miraculously kept their consistency since the start of the season in Serie a. even Milan have also suffered defeat before by Napoli in Serie A. So Napoli will indeed be superior and have a great chance to win in the first or second leg later.

the mentality of the Inter Milan team on the UCL stage is better and because of that, Inter Milan is a little favorite to advance to the semifinals.
while in the other match Napoli vs AC Milan, Napoli will be highly favored because the quality of this team is very different, we can see it in the Serie A league.

Napoli this season is fantastic and I think the possibility of them getting into the UCL final this season is quite big, if they are able to beat AC Milan and Napoli will face Inter Milan / Benfica in the semifinals, the quality of the teams is still not much different and all possibilities are still possible for happen.

Milan is the most successful Italian team in the Champions League, followed by Inter Milan. Meanwhile, Napoli has never tasted the sweetness of this most prestigious trophy. However, even though the two teams from Milano City have Champions League DNA, they are by no means superior, because the performance of the two teams is still inconsistent. Napoli are actually very favored to break into the final, this is indeed very clear because the performance of the team nicknamed the Partenopei this season has been able to appear very powerful. But even though they are superior, Napoli must also concentrate fully when dealing with fellow Italian teams. Napoli must also be aware that the atmosphere of the Champions League is different. Spalletti must instruct his squad to always focus if they want to make their dream of playing in the final come true. because the Milano duo will make every effort to hinder Napoli's progress.

In the match between Napoli and AC Milan, I am very sure that Napoli will win. Because AC Milan lost today to a smaller team in another league. A great opportunity for Napoli to reach the semi-finals. Because Napoli have the ability to beat AC Milan.

[slapper]

Seeing how bad the performance from chelsea in the domestic league makes me think that chelsea gonna be even worse in UCL compared to the domestic league. The chance for chelsea to beat real madrid in its current form is very small at this moment.
I do think that if chelsea may always play defensively against real madrid. Chelsea needs to bring back some old players like kante to compete with madrid in UCL. Real madrid will be coming with fully talented players.
The first leg gonna be a match with very high tension. Im thinking about if chelsea will able to make its comeback with the help of luck.

Chelsea needs the luck to be able to beat real madrid. I see no chance for chelsea to make it happen at this moment after seeing how bad its performance in EPL.

Totally agree, folks! Chelsea's league performance? A letdown, for sure. But come on, it happens to the best of teams. Now, that first leg against Real Madrid – that's going to be a spectacular showdown, testing patience, prowess, and game plans. Chelsea's got to gamble a bit, find that sweet spot between going on the offensive and guarding their goal. Even with a defensive stance, they can't afford to slip up and let Real score, or they're in deep trouble

Nonetheless, I believe they will mount a successful recovery in the second leg. It's not unattainable, but it will be difficult to accomplish. Chelsea has some fantastic athletes; if they can keep their wits about them, they have a chance. The odds are against them, but who knows, maybe they'll get lucky. Since chance plays such a pivotal role in football, it's hard to argue with that. Let's see how exciting the contest actually is.

Yes, this season Napoli have appeared extraordinary, in fact this season they are almost certain to seal the Serie A title. Likewise in the Champions League Napoli's chances of breaking into the final are very wide open. In the same chart, in the quarter-finals, Napoli was surrounded by a team full of experience on the European stage. But if you look at the performance this season, Napoli is not at all afraid of his opponent. Milan may be very weak in the eyes of Napoli, but not Inter if they are destined to meet in the semifinals.

A very good sortition for Napoli, they will almost certainly be able to beat Milan, whose game has deteriorated a lot lately, especially for Napoli this opponent is very familiar, so they have very good chances to reach the semi-finals.

If Napoli still manage to win the Champions League, it will be very unexpected for me, to be honest, it’s hard to believe even now.

Why do you think it would be such a big surprise if Napoli won the Champions League this year?
In the Italian league, they showed dominance that has not been seen in the last 20 years in Italian football.
They are also playing fantastically in the Champions League this season and have beaten all their opponents, and now the draw for the finals has completely opened up for them.
No matter who they will play in the final, Real, Manchester City or Bayern, in one game everything is always possible and everything is open.
You remember the final between Chelsea and Manchester City a few years ago?

I think Napoli can go as far as the semi-finals. Napoli have a chance to defeat the opposition AC Milan in the quarter finals. Because Napoli is far ahead in terms of performance. But since this is the quarter-final, AC Milan should not be underestimated either.

AC Milan is an opponent they often face in Serie A, so these two teams already know each other's strengths. This week AC Milan lost again to Udinese, which is a sign that AC Milan is indeed experiencing problems. Napoli on the other hand, they impressed in Serie A and in the Champions League also they did their best so they are in this round. Napoli is superior, but AC Milan is better in experience.

[Falconer]

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.

I think it makes sense to choose Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals compare Chelsea, but I'm not going to discount any chance of Chelsea. Even though I am Real Madrid fan, anything can happen in the quarter-finals. I agree that Real Madrid is team that has lot of experience in the Champions League, but I don't expect players to underestimate Chelsea even if they are in difficult situation in the Premier League.

Chelsea is a good team this season mainly because of their fancy squad. I know they are not as strong as the other top teams in the quarter-finals, but Chelsea have chance to win the match against Real Madrid. This means that Real Madrid cannot afford to underestimate them either at home or away, but I believe Real Madrid are the favorites for the semi-finals.

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.

I don't know who will win the first leg, but I think Manchester City will try to get an advantage at the Allianz Arena. Manchester City are the favorites in my opinion regardless of how Munich has gone so far. Honestly this is the tightest match in my opinion, but Manchester City often struggles to win their away match in Germany.
