UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[JooBra]

I don't think Napoli will beat AC Milan in this round because, AC Milan players will not allow Napoli players to have that chance they had in the Italian league game to scored those goals that gave them victory in this game. If what all those 3 teams are performing in the Italian league competition can perform it in the UEFA champions league quarterfinal, I guess AC Milan and Inter will meet for final because the two coach will like to use all their strength and energy to beat their opponent to qualify for final.

Here all things going into favor of Napoli as they are currently leaders in Serie A with healthy lead and no chance for any team to challenge them with this now Napoli quarter-final is also bonus just because of their performance in this season and AC Milan which is defending champions in Serie A with having good performance in early rounds of this season but now are on back foot with their performance; now they are at fourth in league table.

For me it is still very vague if AC Milan and Inter meet in the UCL final.

Napoli is still a Serie A challenger and any team is still very difficult to surpass, even if they meet in the Champions League, I think this is still an advantage for Napoli too because their opponents are still the same as Serie A teams and it is still very far if Milan can beat Napoli from my assumptions.

These two teams are going to play against each other three times in April with 2nd April Serie A game at Naples, and then we have second game at San Siro Milan on 13th April thing looking easy for the Napoli but as we all now Champions League is completely unpredictable game with any upset can happen in any match against any team, so these matches are going to be not easy for the both teams with still most chances Napoli is going to win them because of their consistency and quality in this season and most chances having good chance for the final spot.

Yeah before the UCL match starts they will meet in Serie A first even though each other will understand the game and strategy but I think Napoli will have the advantage in a game where they are still consistent in Serie A and UCL.

I don't think Milan can qualify to beat him in UCL and here I only believe Napoli is a strong challenger for UCL and Milan is still in my doubts.

Napoli is in better form but Milan is a big name in UCL and that can matter in quarterfinals. As far as player names go they are close. Now when you have all this in mind we will see what will prevail, but I agree form is more important in general but in those important matches we will see.

I don't think anyone has any doubts that Napoli will eliminate Milan. Besides the fact that Napoli has a better squad than Milan, they are more in shape side with high morale. They want to win everything this season. Milan players' this season performances have been hugely disappointing, except Giroud, Leao and Tonali. On the other hand Napoli have talented young star players who are on the transfer list of every major team. Milan's history may be bigger, but their current situation matters most. Napoli will pass quarter final like a walk in the park.

[X-ray]

I hope that ancellotti will did some evaluation. The problem is now real madrid defenders are lazy as fuck. It can be seen from some chances that already gotten by barcelona in the last game of elclassico.

I don’t think Real Madrid defenders are the cause of the problem. I think the coach has a fault in this. I think Carvajal should have less playing time. Going down to their central defenders like Rudiger and Militao are doing a good job in the absence of David Alaba. Also, I think Nacho is a bit slow and isn’t really going forward and attacking more.

Can't we use the last game against barcelona as an evaluation of madrid's defenders? Modrid needs to be replaced next season. It would be so good if real madrid will able to get a new player that was very active in helping the club to defend.

Seeing modric was doing nothing while its team mates tried so hard to defend from barcelona's attack makes me feel so bad. Cebalos was not doing so well in the last match. I think that the elclassico will become a big evaluation for madrid.

The next game gonna be another hard game in UCL caused by it will be facing chelsea yet chelsea was in underperform now. I can't even sure if chelsea will give a tough game for madrid.

In terms of midfielders, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are almost worn out players. Players doing the real job are Camavinga and Valverde as they’ve been instrumental in linking the defense to the attack.

Agreed. Kroos will retire soon while modric is old enough.

During the game against Liverpool, Toni Kroos should have supported Vini Jnr to attack from the left side and couldn’t.
I do think Madrid should change their coach who would be willing to bring in new players.

There must be also criticism for perez caused by he was so stingy.

[masulum]

The draw was random. Im also feeling disappointed to see that happened with ac milan too. If may be so good if all of italian clubs will be facing non italian clubs but it's not happening right now. What we can do just try to accept the truth about that.

Napoli is not equal to ac milan. Ac milan is far below napoli at this moment. The result can be known easily to us. Ac milan was also losing against weak teams in a row on serie a. that was making me even more distrust ac milan to win the game against napoli.
Seeing how bad inzaghi was managing the club makes me feel doubt if ac milan can make it to pass napoli.

Of course I accept the results of the UCL draw, it's only limited to my wish that the teams from Italy don't meet before the semifinals. To be honest, I didn't expect much from Milan achievements in the UCL this season, but being in the quarter-finals has been very satisfying for me, because Milan current players are different from the level when AC Milan was a strong team in the UCL under Ancelotti.

I don't understand what you mean about Inzaghi, can you explain more? or, Did you mean Simone Inzaghi (Inter Milan)?

[KTChampions]

Do you doubt that Napoli became the champion? In order to "officially" complete the title, they need to score only 14 points in the remaining 11 games. And this is provided that Lazio will not lose points. It seems to me that in about 4 games Napoli will officially become the champion because Lazio will not win every game, and Napoli just need to be no worse than the pursuers (which is easy for them because they are better).

If your analysis is correct, then except Napoli is unlucky, nothing can stop them from getting fourteen points from eleven games. A team that have lost only two games in the Seria A and one game in the Champions League will definitely get the needed points. They are also fortunate not to be affected by many injuries and they also have a good bench.

You can check my analysis yourself: in second place is Lazio. Lazio have 52 points and if they win all the games before the end of the championship they will have 85 points. According to the old Napoli regulations, it would have been enough to score 14 points to catch up with Lazio and become champions in additional indicators. But I just checked and according to the new regulations, if the points are equal, a golden match is assigned, so in order to definitely become the champion Napoli need to score 15 points in the remaining 11 games. This percentage of points scored corresponds to the level of Sassuolo - it is extremely unlikely that Napoli will sink so low.

Nice analysis!

Both conditions will not be met in my opinion so chance for Lazio to be champion is zero, risk for Napoli to lose it is zero too. To conclude, Napoli will be champion of Serie A 2022 - 2023.

Because Lazio will not be able to win all their 11 games and Napoli will be able to win at least 5 more games that is a max required win matches to take the title if Lazio win all 11 games. If Lazio win less than 11 games, Napoli will need to win less than 5 more games to be a new champion.

It is impossible to take the title away from Napoli now. Moreover, Napoli's performance is much more stable than Lazio's. Napoli is 19 points ahead of Lazio. And it is impossible to fill such a big gap. It seems unrealistic to me that Napoli will lose 7 matches out of 11 matches. Because the team is in great form now. Napoli is very difficult to beat against any team. It is also highly unlikely that Lazio will win all of their next 11 matches. Because this team has won only 15 out of 27 matches this season. They lost points in 12 matches. On the other hand, Napoli has won 23 out of 27 matches. So I am sure that Napoli will win the title this season.

I don't think Milan can qualify to beat him in UCL and here I only believe Napoli is a strong challenger for UCL and Milan is still in my doubts.

We know Napoli is a stronger team than Ac Milan because they got better results in Serie A and they are the first team with a huge difference from AC Milan while in the last game, AC Milan had they lost the game against Udinese in Serie A games with a 2-1 result while the only goal they scored was from a penalty kick not in-game, and three goals is a lot for a team like AC Milan, I guess with this bad defense power, AC Milan will have problems against Napoli.

It's not better results, but also better form of the players and also winners' mentality
Napoli are thinking like champions, playing one match after another without getting overwhelmed, even though the team on paper is less strong than Milan's

[hahay]

At a time when most people are waiting for the match between Manchester City v Bayern Munich and Real Madrid v Chelsea, but I personally really look forward to Benfica's progress at this moment. Playing against Inter and for me Benfica still has a chance to be able to win and qualify for the semifinals and then, in the semifinals maybe Benfica will play against Napoli and again I personally feel Benfica can do their best.

Because after all, this season in the Champions League Benfica has gone through difficult times and in fact Benfica was able to go through well by beating PSG and also Juventus. Therefore, I feel that Benfica still has good abilities if it only plays against Inter and Napoli.

Napoli will pass quarter final like a walk in the park.

Natural, because what Napoli has shown both in the Domestic League and in this competition, they have appeared very impressive. in the Domestic league, Napoli have no competitors threatening their position at the top of the standings. in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the opponent Napoli is a team that is familiar to them. because, Milan is one of the rivals in the Domestic League. on paper, Napoli has a high probability of qualifying for the next round smoothly. because apart from Napoli being on fire, Milan is not a tough enough opponent for those who incidentally Milan are in a state of unstable performance.

Meanwhile, the chance that Milan has is very slim. even though in the first leg they played as the home team, it does not mean that Milan will easily win their match against Napoli. as a coach, Stefano Pioli is well aware that his team will find it difficult to overthrow Napoli in the match later. but like it or not, Milan will provide fierce resistance to offset Napoli's game. at least, they will appear all out even though the chances they have are very slim. but by the way, it could be that in the match Milan will give us a surprise. even so, because this match still has a time lag. be it Napoli or Milan, will prepare his team to face the Champions League quarter-finals later.

I'm sure the analysis is good on the possibilities that can still be expected, but I'm pretty sure there aren't many opportunities that Lazio can take advantage of because Napoli in this case are very close to securing the title.

Okay, let's return to the topic of the Champions League, hopefully the discussion isn't too off-topic. Napoli vs Milan, it's an amazing game for the Champions League. I think Milan's performance this season has been underwhelming in Serie A, while Napoli are the favorites in the Champions League. If Napoli and Inter are the two teams most likely to reach the semifinals then I can really think of one of them going to the final this season.

They will pass Milan very easily. As far as I can see in the league, Milan is having a hard time against other teams in the league. There is no team that Napoli has difficulty with. They can easily beat all of them one after the other. Milan is a great team with deep-rooted past victories, but everything matters in its time. An easy match for Napoli, I don't expect a different result. I'm more curious about what will happen next. They don't stay where they can go very far.

The AC Milan team is not strong this season. The team has been weak this season and their performances have been erratic. They are fighting hard to stay in the top four of the points table. Even so, it doesn't seem possible for them to finish in the top four of the table. They have not won in the last three matches. On the other hand, Napoli is playing well in every match. More importantly, Napoli's players are still very confident.

Napoli will play a home match against AC Milan in Serie A before facing off in the Champions League. I guess Napoli will not give their full effort in this match. Because Napoli will not face big problems even if they lose points in Serie A. But Napoli will definitely win the Champions League match.

[ShowOff]

Of course I accept the results of the UCL draw, it's only limited to my wish that the teams from Italy don't meet before the semifinals. To be honest, I didn't expect much from Milan achievements in the UCL this season, but being in the quarter-finals has been very satisfying for me, because Milan current players are different from the level when AC Milan was a strong team in the UCL under Ancelotti.

Considering that Napoli are the most consistent Serie A team, I think Milan will really face big problems when they face them in the Champions League. I think it's true that the quarter-finals are Milan's best achievement this season, but for something higher I think it's something that would be very surprising. Since Milan were draw to get Napoli as their quarter-final opponent, that's when I thought that failure would be easy for them.

Everything really looks in favor of Napoli, since Milan have not looked the best lately, I even doubted if they could beat Tottenham. By the way, on April 2, Napoli and Milan will play in Serie A, it will be a good rehearsal, but only this match will be in Napoli, and the teams will play the first match in the Champions League in Milan. Napoli is the clear favorite, but anything can happen.

Since they are already in the quarterfinals, they won't want to take any of these clubs lightly. Most of these big clubs have good players who strike well when it comes to goals, talk of Haaland, salah Benzema and osimen like this are players who have made a name and still perform very well. Of all the clubs that qualified for the quarterfinals, clubs that won't go far are Milan, Benfica, and Inter compared to the big dog Manchester City, Bayern, Napoli, and Real Madrid.

I don't follow the Italian Serie A so i can not really say if Napoli or AC Milan is the stronger team at the moment, but looking only at the table then i think it is pretty obvious that Napoli is by far the strongest team in the league in this season and the gap to the second best team is almost 20 points, which is a huge amount. So i think it is safe to say, that Napoli is by far the strongest team of the italian league at the moment and therefore also the big favorite in the match against AC Milan in the Champions League.
Napoli has a huge chance to even advance into the final of the Champions League, because they are in the easy bracket with Inter and Benfica.

Actually I also expect Benfica to go to the final and it would be the most hilarious moment in UCL this season if that really happens, which Benfica will beat all of remaining Italian teams to make their way to final. Napoli obviously is their biggest problem, but who knows, anything is possible in UCL.

AC Milan are bigger European Competitive sides than Napoli especially when it comes to the Champions League football, they currently have bout three to four Champions League, but with current form, whoever writes Napoli off is simply cynical.
They're the best side in the world the most consistent side who have scored more goals and conceded lesser too, they have shown desire and dedication from the back on how they're just focused on winning alone.

If it finally comes to the Champions League next round, I'm not giving a final conclusion on who wins but then, I'm backing Napoli to knock Ac Milan who struggled to get three points against Udinese.
