UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[asriloni]

Tuchel is a great coach but changing the coach in such situation will surely not a good idea, man city is an horrible club and everyone wish to not play against them in the champoins league, they are very organized and their coach is perfectly controling the situation in the club and this will surely give them a big advantage against Bayern

There are still enough times for tuchel to adapt to the situation in the club. Tuchel is experienced enough to handle a team like bayern. he has been successfully handling chelsea and giving chelsea a few trophies. Bayern is a few steps away from UCL trophies. As long as the team can consistently win the game and bayern will be able to take UCL trophy this season. this gonna be another big achievement by tuchel if he will able to repeat the same history as when he was at chelsea.
it's gonna he a very big challenge to beat manchester city in upcoming game. The good thing is if haaland faces injury in international break.

That was giving advantage to the bayern if haaland will not able to perform until the match day between city vs bayern. I just pray for haaland will be able to recover after the match city vs bayern.

Maybe i looked like a bad guy but since i was supporting munchen and that will give so many advantages to the bayern.

Tuchel is a manager who is quite experienced. His decision to join Bayern Munich certainly has its own challenges. The former coach who was successful with Chelsea will certainly be faced with problems in the internal team. He must first stabilize the atmosphere in the locker room after the sacking of Nagelsmann.

Then before serving Manchester City, we can see the Bavarian's performance against Dortmund in the Bundesliga. If he is successful in carrying out his duties, it means that he has hope when he looks at the champions league stage.

And in my opinion this season Manchester City are very strong and they seem very ready to play anyone in Europe. Pep Guardiola is very ambitious to bring the team from Manchester to win the Champions League for the first time.

It didn't take long for Tuchel to stabilize the atmosphere in the Bayern Munich squad, the coach and players are very experienced, they are no strangers to the conditions that have recently befallen Bayern Munich due to the sudden dismissal of Nagelsmann.
Tuchel is very fortunate to be appointed as coach of Bayern Munich, he will continue what Nagelsmann has built since the start of the season. He just needs to maintain the quality of his players to get past every obstacle, one of the tough hurdles he had to overcome against Manchester City in the quarter-finals. If he is able to bring Munich to appear in the Final and win the UCL trophy, he will be the luckiest man.

Benfica and Napoli are praised by the media, but am I wrong or did Benfica not leave such a great impression at all? Of course the numbers are in favor of Benfica, that they are unbeaten in a group together with PSG and Juventus, that was very good, but the game image is completely different if you compare it to Napoli. I might see Benfica continue against Inter Milan, but against Napoli they seem to me to have no chance actually. And teams such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City are also 2 sizes too big for Benfica. On paper you would say that Manchester City - Napoli will be the final. In any case, a new winner because Napoli has won the uefa cup once in the 88-89 season and manchester City has never won the cup.

Benfica might indeed win the match against Inter Milan later and qualify for the semi-finals. but I'm also not sure Benfica will qualify for the final. what makes Benfica unbeatable at the moment is their defense which is quite extraordinary. if we remember the Benfica vs PSG match we can see that PSG was continuously attacking Benfisa at that time. but the PSG forward struggled even then. and two matches against PSG ended in a draw. so I can't underestimate Benfica. but when compared to Napoli then I think Napoli will indeed be superior.

Apart from Chelsea, in my opinion, they still tend to be inconsistent this season even though they are still in the Champions League. But if you compare him at the moment with Manchester City of course Chelsea are very far behind this season.

But if we compare Manchester City with the opponents that Manchester City will face in the Champions League in the current round, I think the opponents are also quite good and not so bad this season because Bayern Munich can still beat big teams like PSG and not that Bayern Munich unable to beat others like Manchester City in the Champions League this season although that still may not work for Bayern Munich.

[X-ray]

I even going to bet on benfica to beat inter.

Benfica looks far superior right now. If we are judging from the performance of intermilan and this club faces terrible results in serie a. I see no reason for intermilan to win against benfica. Benfica may be able to dominate the match against intermilan. If we are juding from h2h betwen both and it's happened a very long time ago. It's more than half of a century. it's not reliable anymore to be used as data. It will better to use the performance in domestic league as a data to be compared.

They are losing once and draw twice  in the domestic league , making them have the confident that they needed in such big stage against inter milan who perform just average for me, nothing special. I bet benfica would become the team that surprised us all this season at champions league.

Benfica is still continue its win streak. From 25 matches played and benfica was getting 22 wins 1 loss and 2 draws. That means benfica is having good performance right now. intermilan must be so careful with benfica. Benfica was able destroying its opponent before.
I see that if benfica is aiming to do the same thing against intermilan. Intermilan in a difficult situation if it will be losing in the first leg against benfica. Intermilan will be playing away for the first leg.

I was thought Benfica performance will be decline because they were losing some key players such as Nunez or the latest is Enzo Fernandez but clearly i was wrong about that because Benfica still able to resumes their outstanding performance that in champion league and Portugal league they can managed their performance and it's quite stable until now and apparently Benfica were never lack of talented players because after the players which i mention above were leave the team and now appears Goncalo Ramos which now was into the radar for several big clubs

Benfica statistics during this season were fantastic although they cannot be compared with Manchester City or Real Madrid which is champion favourite but their performance were clearly better than Inter and first leg Benfica will be playing as a host and Inter have to be careful to them because Benfica is very tough at home and for betting options based on the current odds we can see this time Benfica is the favourite and Inter had underdog status

I don't think it will be very easy to win against Manchester City. For Tuchel, it will be a big match and obviously there will be pressure that how to win the match. But it is true that Tuchel is an experienced one who did a great work for Chelsea. It was quite similar situation for Chelsea also.

Benfica is on their best form now and they have enough chance to beat Inter Milan. It is really tough to break the defense line of Benfica. Not only defense but also their attack line is also solid to score goal. I don't think Inter Milan will be able to qualify. Inter Milan should try to find out opportunity to implement in the game for fighting against strong opponent Benfica.

I think Pep will have a special strategy to fight Bayern Munich later because Pep is a former Munich coach so maybe he understands better how Manchester City can win against Bayern Munich later. Manchester City has Haaland who is ready to become a goal machine there, BTW speaking of Chelsea, don't underestimate them because Chelsea might surprise them by holding Madrid to a draw or winning narrowly.

[Oneandpure]

There will be 3 matches for Bayern before the match against Manchester City, 2 of them in the Bundesliga and the third in the German Cup. Therefore, Tuchel has some tests that could give him the ability to find the best lineup for the match against Manchester City. However, he's an experienced coach who knows both German and English teams very well, so I think the possibility of Bayern qualifying over Manchester City remains high, and even better than the case where Nagelsmann was the coach.

Seems not easy for three matches later before facing Manchester City in Champion League, next match against Dortmund and capacities about Tuchel questionable does he right choose replacing Julian Nagelsmann position after winning all games in Champion League? or Tuchel can bring Bayern Munich have consistent performance than Julian Nagelsmann between domestic league and Champion League.

Become reunion for Tuchel after sacking from Chelsea manager and he know about the weakness from Manchester City, exactly become nightmare for City winning Champion League last two season after Tuchel give Champion League tittle for Chelsea and defeated Manchester City on final stage.

@reagansimms I doubt that Tuchel can beat City right away, because he’s barely got time to settle in and understand the squad properly hence I feel that City will will defeat them badly by scoring many goals. Also in the long run Tuchel can work wonders for them, but in the short term I expect him to suffer many defeats as the timing of his appointment is horribly wrong.

this is all funny because tuchel was coach of dortmund, he knows dortmond and the bundesliga well, since he was coach of Mainz and also started his career in the under-15 of VfB Stuttgart, so he is a guy who is in at home, in that regard, bayern was right in the choice, another point that I even found funny is that tuchel was in the premier league and already beat City in the champions league, he was also coach of PSG, which means that tuchel knows a lot of teams and the country league, I just found it very strange that last season chelsea did not play well, sometimes it even seemed that chelsea players were sabotaging so that tuchel was fired, of course this is just my assumption

I also commented on this, because even a genius coach needs a lot of time to adapt to the team, expecting that bringing tuchel right away bayern will win everything in a short time can be a mistake, of course as I said above tuchel knows the bundesliga very well , he knows the champions league very well and the premier league teams like chelsea and also bayern has good players, but the problem always comes from what formation and players he has to put in and that forces him to have to experiment and of course the experiments will be done in each game, this change of coach so sudden and knowing that the season doesn't have many games left to finish could be a very hasty decision and could have disastrous consequences

After being officially appointed as head coach of Bayern Munich, Tuchel was immediately greeted with a tough task. The big game against Manchester City is a challenge that must be completed perfectly to increase the confidence of Munich fans in him. It must be admitted that it is not easy to beat Manchester City, Manchester City plans for this season are very big, they are trying to win the UCL this season. Tuchel and Guardiola have to do their job well, they have to treat this game as a final and turn every chance into a goal. It's hard to predict the outcome of this match, I hope Manchester City can qualify for the semifinals and win the final to win the UCL for the first time.

I don't think so. Even though if pep was learning from the match between city and chelsea in the final and that will not be able to be applied to the upcoming match against bayern. It's caused by bayern having different compositions compared with chelsea. This will also make a lot of difference.

Have you seen the history between haaland against munchen? haaland never win against munchen and how can you say that if he will become a goal machine? I think that almost all of munchen's players very familiar with him.
It doesn't matter a lot whether haaland will play or not but if he will not be playing against munchen in UCL due to the injury and that will be good news caused by the power of city will be decreasing.

Chelsea always becomes toughest opponent for real madrid. I will not be surprised to see that chelsea to have a hard game against madrid. Ancellotti is really anticipating chelsea caused by chelsea was almost beating madrid last season.

Benfica's defensive discipline has been their major weapon in winning matches this season and I'll be tipping them to beat Inter Milan but during the weekend Inter Milan's powerful striker Romelu Lukaku was on fire for his country and scored a hat trick against Sweden and we all know how he bullies defenders and on his day which is why Benfica defenders should be wary of him

If Benfica can eliminate Inter and qualify to the semi finals they'll surely be beat by a certain Napoli who I'm very sure are gonna oust AC Milan in their quarter final tie. Napoli I think will be in the final of this season's Champions League but who will be their opponent at finals in Istanbul is very difficult to predict

I admit that Tuchel is one of the best coaches in the world. But he is a figure that will be in the spotlight of many parties when lined up to replace Nagelsmann. Tuchel's task was not easy, as there were two groups of players who had different reactions in the dressing room which led to Nagelsmann being sacked.

Tuchel must be able to unite them first before talking about big targets in the Champions League. Besides that, Tuchel is also under pressure, he has to prove to management that they were not wrong in appointing him, because previously Nagelsmann was able to maintain consistency from the group phase to qualify for the quarterfinals.

You are right. Tuchel's task is indeed very difficult at Bayern. I imagine that if Bayern loses then criticism will rain on Tuchel. because after all Manchester City is a strong team that even their forward players are always thirsty to score lots of goals especially Haaland. But I also don't doubt that Bayern has been able to beat PSG. but I don't understand why the Bayern Munich coach, Julian Nagelsmann, was fired and replaced by Thomas Tuchel. if the reason is because Bayern has become less stable at the moment. but I think Bayern's performance at the moment is not bad at all. even though the last match in the Bundesliga Bayern lost to Leverkusen, Leverkusen got the advantage because they got 2 goals from the penalty kicks they got. and overall Bayern remained superior in the game. I think there is another reason behind it all. and I'm a little worried about Thomas Tuchel. because he could have been blamed if Bayern suffered a defeat by Manchester city in the Champions League Quarter-finals. Tuchel's task is really tough at the moment. And it bears quite a heavy burden.

Benfica might indeed win the match against Inter Milan later and qualify for the semi-finals. but I'm also not sure Benfica will qualify for the final. what makes Benfica unbeatable at the moment is their defense which is quite extraordinary. if we remember the Benfica vs PSG match we can see that PSG was continuously attacking Benfisa at that time. but the PSG forward struggled even then. and two matches against PSG ended in a draw. so I can't underestimate Benfica. but when compared to Napoli then I think Napoli will indeed be superior.

To be honest, I have more interest in this Portuguese club. since the beginning of the group H phase, they appeared impressive and were able to break the pessimism that was not so favored at first. in fact, they put up a fierce fight against PSG and were able to topple Juventus. since then, I see this team is quite interesting. and yes, they were able to qualify for the next phase.

Speaking of the match vs Inter, however, Inter is a team that cannot be underestimated in this quarter-final match. but if you refer to my personal predictions, I'm pretty sure that Benfica will qualify for the next phase and be able to overthrow Inter, both home and away games. Moreover, if we refer to the available odds, Benfica's chance is big enough to beat Inter. in particular, the game at their own base.

On the other hand, this match was not easy for Inter. especially in the first leg, it was an away game for Simone Inzaghi's team. I suspect the scenario is that Inter will play defensively and appear all out in the second leg later.
For Napoli, not much I would say. on paper, Napoli will overthrow Milan and qualify for the next phase. well, let's just enjoy it when the Champions League quarter-finals have started.

Indeed, Tuchel will have hard games just after he started working at Bayern Munich, we know he got good experience and won the champions league before but still, he need to face Dortmund in Bundesliga and just a few weeks after that he should get ready for Manchester City which can be a hard game for Tuchel and his players.

On the one hand it is true what you say, but on the other hand he has a very easy excuse if it doesn't work out and he screws it up the next few weeks. He knows that there is nothing his bosses can do without looking ridiculous. Even if we assume that he loses the next five consecutive games, he is still safe, nobody would fire him as the move they now pulled off already evoked an uproar among the fans and journalists and everybody else.

Tuchel is in a dream position now. If he loses, there wasn't much he could do in such a short period of time and he is really sorry for the disappointment he has brought. If he wins, he is the new holy king who came to the rescue, which I think is ridiculous because no rescue was required in the first place.

Benfica and Inter rarely face each other, the last being in 2008, so it is difficult to predict who will qualify for the next round. Possibly Benfica, the only representative from Portugal. Meanwhile, AC Milan and Napoli are both from Italy. But can England leave one club to go to the semi-finals? Maybe Madrid can qualify for the semi-finals, the rest is Man City. Meanwhile, Bayern is one of the representatives from Germany. I think England will fall both.
