UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Fiatless]

My guess was right, City won. But three goals really made Bayern Munchen worse. Tuchel seems to have to work hard to rearrange the strategy in Germany later. Two things that Munchen should not do when losing The defense line that often makes mistakes. Then Tuchel, who looked confused, failed to make the most of the substitutions. Three goals are quite heavy, but looking at possession and opportunities should be Bayern Munchen Can make a surprise later.

I never expected that Manchester City will win this match with three goal margin. My predictions was that the game will be a draw because of the presence of Tuchel, but I was surprise to see Bayern play so badly. City was so strong in that game that I began to wonder if they were really playing against a top class team like Bayern. Thomas Tuchel is still new in the club, so I don't expect him to have instant result because he needs time to fix the team. But the return leg in Allianz Arena might be a different game because the Bayern team has the quality to score goals. If they can fix their defensive errors and attack massively, they might get a good result at home.  

It will be almost impossible for Benfica to comeback, and for Napoli-Milan the difference here is that Napoli lost to Milan in league so they will be more prepared this time, this is much more important game then that in Seria A

In the champions league anything can happen. Benfica played very poorly but it is possible that they might come back strong in the second leg. We had expected them to get a good result result at home, but it turned out to be the opposite but it is not over until the end of the second leg.
Napoli-Milan game is unpredictable because Napoli is one of the best in Europe but their recent performance is making me doubt their ability to beat Milan. But based on their past performance, Napoli might win this game convincingly.

last night I don't think any Inter fan would have expected a result like this! after the various bad matches in Serie A no one would have bet a penny on Inter's victory last night! and it was a nice surprise because the second leg will be played at san siro with 80,000 Inter supporters pushing the team to victory, we'll know the verdict on 19 April!

Inter fans did not expect that good result in Portugal but their players made it. Fairly said, Inter Milan did not play too much better than Benfica and their second goal was very lucky. However, that goal is important for Inter Milan to go to semi final because if they only win with 1 goal difference, Benfica will have good confidence that they can win 1 - 0 at Giuseppe Meazza and bring Inter Milan to extra halfs or penalty shoot-out. Fortunatley, with two goal difference after the first leg, chance for Benfica to revert it in the second leg is very small, if not say it is impossible mission.

Manchester City are a really solid team, it is difficult to see or imagine any team that can defeat them seeing how hard working and committed the players are to every game they play. After scoring the first goal, they did not cool things down but went ahead to see how many more goals they will be able to score, and they scored more while still maintaining a clean sheet, Manchester made full use of the home advantage, maybe Bayern can do the same in the second leg. With what I saw in the game, I am wondering why they really replaced their old coach with Tuchel.

Manchester City played well and won big but they even can win bigger and finalize quarter final after the first leg. Some excellent saves from Yann Sommer helped Bayern Munich to avoid a bigger loss and somewhat helped Bayern Munich to have small chance in a second leg. Imagine if Manchester City win 4 - 0 or 5 - 0, we don't have anything to discuss about a second leg in Munich.

I saw the game, the first half was very balanced and Inter were also a bit lucky, but in the second half things changed and Inter played better and in fact managed to score 2 goals and put The second leg is sure, but Benfica will do everything in their power to turn the game around and Inter must be good at trying to score at least one goal to make life difficult for Benfica

Today's match was worth watching.
Milan vs Napoli and Madrid will face Chelsea. The conditions are still unpredictable but with the current matches I expect a lot from Madrid and Napoli.
Their focus should be on the Champions League now as Madrid are unlikely to have much to say in La Liga while Napoli are very comfortable with their position in Serie A.
For Madrid I'm pretty sure but Napoli are now a bit anxious when facing Milan especially since it's an away match for their first leg.
I will try to do a multi in this match but there is indeed a consideration that makes me a little hesitant for that.

AC Milan vs Napoli is a game that is difficult to predict, all of this is inseparable from the surprising results of the last match of the two teams when AC Milan was able to win big over Napoli.
and also this is a Champions League match, Napoli is a team that doesn't have the mentality as strong as AC Milan on the European stage.

and for the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match, I have no doubts about the easy victory Real Madrid will get.
Chelsea is currently in poor performance after a series of problems that exist in this team and they have just changed coaches, of course Real Madrid will take advantage of this, especially as Real Madrid will play at home in the first leg, of course Real Madrid wants to win this match with a convincing score.

[Marykeller]

I think this stage is already over for Bayern Munich. I don't think they can come back from a 3-0 disadvantage. They don't have a player like Lewandowski who can be a hope for them about this tough task either. Manchester City deserve to advance completely.

Most likely yes but who knows if munchen will able to win like 4-0 against manchester city in the second leg. The same situation like when real madrid was losing against barcelona but madrid was able to beat barcelona with huge scores in copa del rey.

The chance for bayern is still there, but that's very small at this moment. I can't even deny that the defensive line of manchester city is far solid compared with bayern. You can even see that with your eyes. How difficult bayern to create a goal against manchester city.

Bayern was also losing when it comes to the highball. As you can see that so many attacks from bayern were coming from the corner kick. this means if bayern is also losing when it comes to the dual in the air against city's players.

Tuchel was also feeling very disappointed to see the result against city

According to Tuchel, he said that is not yet over to Bayern's defeat against Manchester City. Maybe he will be able to come up with an idea that will see to their victory at home against Manchester City. But in this case, I do not believe Bayern will be able to defeat Manchester City, who are stronger than they are in terms of defense, attack, and midfield play.

I don't think Bayern will be able to win this match, no matter how Tuchel chooses to inspire and deploy the Bayern players against Manchester City. Manchester City has already crossed to another round of the champions league which I strongly believe

City - Bayern ...Oh, what a majestic show from City last night!

My guess was right, City won. But three goals really made Bayern Munchen worse. Tuchel seems to have to work hard to rearrange the strategy in Germany later. Two things that Munchen should not do when losing The defense line that often makes mistakes. Then Tuchel, who looked confused, failed to make the most of the substitutions. Three goals are quite heavy, but looking at possession and opportunities should be Bayern Munchen Can make a surprise later.

Man City giving their all at the Etihad Stadium with a 3-0 goal is a great thing we shouldn't have expected more but this was a bit of a surprise for Pep Guardiola with his team.
Of course 3 goals is not easy even though they will play in Germany later and after all Bayern Munich must be able to reply to this if you want to qualify but do you know that Man City's performance is currently at its peak so it will be very difficult for Tuchel to reply in the first leg , and of course a re-strategy arrangement must be made again to be able to break the deadlock at home.

But honestly I don't think Man City will concede more goals.

In the second leg which will be played at the Allianz Arena later, Manchester City cannot play defensively, they have to do what they did in this first leg. Maybe it will give a big enough gap when they play open, but they also have the opportunity to be able to score again. Conversely if they play defensive then it will make it easier for Bayern Munich to develop their game, and from what I know when teams do that they are more in danger of conceding more goals even if they play defensively. Bayern Munich has a good mentality, I can say they have a good mentality after Real Madrid, so Manchester City cannot be complacent with the 3 goals they scored in the first leg.

Milan vs Napoli

I think this is interesting match because recently both teams has been met each other and surprisingly Milan can able to win with big scores at Napoli home ground and for today too i think Milan players will be excited to faced this match and i am sure the latest winning from Napoli will boosted their mentally

Losing Osimhen apparently had bad impact for Napoli because Napoli looks difficult to scores goals while he was absense and this maybe will be utilized by Milan to resumes their positive results from Napoli but Milan latest performance doesn't really good that last week they even cannot able to beat Empoli at their home ground

Regarding teams conditions after placed Giroud and Leao on the bench last week i am sure Pioli will played them since the beginning of match considering this is important match for Milan and for Napoli so far only Victor Osimhen who unable to play besides that Napoli probably will play with all of their key players and regarding betting options i am sure Spalletti has been evaluate Napoli last lose from Milan and this time Napoli will going to win the match and probably with slim score and Napoli has odds @2.90

[Bananington]

In the second leg which will be played at the Allianz Arena later, Manchester City cannot play defensively, they have to do what they did in this first leg.

I am very sure that the Manchester City coach knows this, that is why the ensured that they made very good use of their home advantage and scored three goals. It is very difficult to imagine this Manchester City side that is doing so well to concede as much as three goals in the second leg but anything is possible still because who would have imagined that Manchester City will win Bayern Munich with such a big goal difference. Right now anything is possible even in the game today with Real Madrid and Chelsea where Chelsea is the team expected to loose, and AC Milan Vs Napoli game where Napoli will want to do their best so that AC Milan do not win them again after winning them before in the Italian league.

My predictions was that the game will be a draw because of the presence of Tuchel, but I was surprise to see Bayern play so badly.

But the return leg in Allianz Arena might be a different game because the Bayern team has the quality to score goals. If they can fix their defensive errors and attack massively, they might get a good result at home.

It means that you underestimate Manchester City's strength at home even though you know that the probability of winning for Manchester City is more reasonable than Bayern Munich. Tuchel is Bayern Munich's failure this season in the Champions League, I think it has to be right and I don't expect him to hurt Manchester City too much this season in the Champions League after his final win with Chelsea.

I and everyone also know that Manchester City was very good in the first leg match, I even believe that if Yann Sommer's performance is not good, then Bayern Munich might have lost 5-6 goals yesterday. But of course the battle between Manchester City and Bayern is not over where they must determine their fate in the second leg. I hope Manchester City really can play at the same level, meaning they have to attack not defend.

But for Napoli I'm also a little doubtful for this team in today's match because I remember that AC Milan had beaten Napoli in Serie A, at that time the match took place at home to Napoli and today Napoli itself has to face AC Milan in the Champions League in the first leg at home to AC Milan. Of course it won't be easy for Napoli today.

Remembering the previous match in Serie A where AC Milan was able to win big at home to Napoli, of course, Milan is even more optimistic when they meet again in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals tonight. But in my opinion, the big victory won by Milan is certainly not a benchmark because in the last week's match these two teams showed different results. I see that Milan are still inconsistent but I believe they will give their all to win. I admit that mentally in Europe the Rossoneri are great. But for tonight's match, I still make Napoli my favourite, Spalletti has certainly devised the right strategy to tame Milan at the San Siro.

As for the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match, it is very clear that Madrid is more favored because the opponents they face are being plagued by endless problems. But Ancelotti still has to be wary of Chelsea even though their condition is unstable.

[indah rezqi]

I'm also sure that Real Madrid will win today against Chelsea because Chelsea's own performance at this time is still not convincing enough to win the first leg of the Champions League in the current round.

The performances of the two teams in their respective leagues are very different, but I don't fully expect Chelsea to lose without a great fight. Chelsea are a strong team so far, they can rebel at any time even though they have struggled to win many domestic games so far.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is also not completely free from problems. They have struggled to find goals against teams who have a strong defence, so the first leg against Chelsea should be very interesting as Chelsea are a strong team defensively. Chelsea conceded 6 goals from their last 7 matches in all competitions, this statistic is also same from Real Madrid. The problem is, Chelsea is not good enough in goal productivity, while Real Madrid has it. So it must be very interesting to look forward to this match, I hope a draw will be okay.

[asriloni]

The match between napoli vs ac milan is very difficult to predict. According to the previous meeting ac milan was able to be absolutely dominated the match aginst napoli. There are some problems that will be faced by ac milan in the upcoming matches.

- napoli already confirmed if it will be playing against ac milan without osimhen. Since osimhen was the top scorer of serie a and that is giving a very big impact on napoli.

As has been reported by La Repubblica (via Calciomercato.com), the Nigerian striker was visibly upset when it was confirmed that he is not fit enough to be named in the Champions League squad for the quarter-final first leg against Milan.

Spalletti is having self confidence to win the game against ac milan in the first leg even though napoli will be played without osimhen.

That's very sad to say that napoli didn't have a capable striker for was able to do the same performance as osimhen. That was decreasing the public's confidence in the napoli.

- The defensive line of napoli has become the main concern.
I saw that there have been many blunders by napoli's defenders in the previous meetings. I hope that will be solved asap

[aylabadia05]

AC Milan vs Napoli is a game that is difficult to predict, all of this is inseparable from the surprising results of the last match of the two teams when AC Milan was able to win big over Napoli.
and also this is a Champions League match, Napoli is a team that doesn't have the mentality as strong as AC Milan on the European stage.

For the AC Milan vs Napoli match, I will choose to support Milan as a team that will qualify for the semi-finals. Maybe in the Leg I match later at the Giuseppe Mezza, Rossenerri will win by a narrow score.
This cannot be separated from Osimhen, who is doubtful about strengthening Napoli's attack line.
Even though Napoli doesn't depend on a single player, Osimhen's role in the Napoli squad is quite influential with the goals scored by this player from Nigeria.

and for the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match, I have no doubts about the easy victory Real Madrid will get.
Chelsea is currently in poor performance after a series of problems that exist in this team and they have just changed coaches, of course Real Madrid will take advantage of this, especially as Real Madrid will play at home in the first leg, of course Real Madrid wants to win this match with a convincing score.

If we look at Chelsea's performance, we can say that Real Madrid will win against Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu. But Ancelotti himself will not consider Chelsea as an easy opponent to beat.
Frank Lampard could have brought home 1 point amidst the many analyzes that underestimate Chelsea's strength in his hands.

[wildan88]

For Real Madrid it might not even matter anymore whether they play at home or away. They can rise to great heights, even in away games. Last year in the CL it was not always all that good, but especially Benzema really helped Real Madrid. Without Modric, the world of Real Madrid would probably look very different. Chelsea will have to put in a really good result tonight otherwise it will be almost impossible to put things right in Madrid. But, chelsea has also achieved the necessary successes in the CL. Not only a few years ago but also 12 years ago when they beat Bayern Munich in the final. Even then they were the underdog.

[jakdanyel]

There is a quite big difference between the odds of Real Madrid and Chelsea for the win today. Its being played in Santiago Bernabeu is also like an extra factor in this gap but even if it was in Stamford Bridge I would have still gone for Real Madrid comfortably. There is still a quite big power gap between these teams currently. Real Madrid are in quite good shape these days when it comes to scoring multiple goals in a match as well.

Benzema's being in-form is a big factor in this of course. He made two hat-tricks recently as you might have heard and this situation can be really useful for Real Madrid tonight. Him and Vinicius Junior are like their biggest cards against Chelsea in this match. I don't think Chelsea have a good defending style as well. As a result a really tough match is waiting for Chelsea tonight.

It would be quite shocking to me if Chelsea somehow get a draw here. 

[Pesona1]

I don't think Bayern will be able to win this match, no matter how Tuchel chooses to inspire and deploy the Bayern players against Manchester City. Manchester City has already crossed to another round of the champions league which I strongly believe

Bayern munchen is a team that is quite strong and their experience in the champions league certainly cannot be doubted, manchester city is lucky enough to be able to beat bayern munchen at the etihad especially with a fairly crushing score (3-0) and this gives greater hope for manchester city to move on to the next round, but is Manchester City safe enough at this time?
I don't think so, because after all Bayern Munich often surprises in the second leg when they play at home and I think it is appropriate for Guardiola to be aware of that and can still focus on winning or at least scoring goals in the second leg later instead of having to play defensively.

[hahay]

It was really unexpected for the victory that Inter managed to have with two goals without reply from Benfica, because based on the odds and also based on their trend at this moment at least Benfica has a chance to be able to score a goal. But what happened was that Inter was able to give a surprise maybe for me personally, because I really believe Benfica will be able to win in this match.

Maybe it wouldn't be a surprise if the result was 0-1 or 1-2, but with a result like this 0-2 it's certainly an unpredictable result. Also, of course, the second leg will be even more interesting, because I'm still waiting for Benfica's best quality at this moment.

Of course it won't be easy for Napoli today.

It is very clear, everyone will agree that Real Madrid has a high probability of defeating Chelsea in this match. after all, the two teams showed a much different performance. at least, Real Madrid was more prepared than Chelsea who was in a very unstable situation. it is true that Madrid's performance in the domestic league is not that impressive, but in this competition, Madrid is one of the strong challengers who will advance to the next round. especially if the two Madrid players are in their best performance, yes, Vini Jr and Benzema. if these two players are on fire, then Chelsea is in big trouble. and if I refer to the predicted Madrid line-up statistics, Madrid will play its main starting line. that is, Don Carlo will not waste this momentum to overthrow Chelsea with a landslide score.

As for Chelsea, now, Chelsea is handled by Frank Lampard. referring to several predicted line-ups that will be applied by Lampard, he will use a 4-3-3 system. to be honest, I'm not sure what he was thinking. but it seems, Chelsea will only rely on counterattacks. whether this will work, interesting for us to look forward to.

For the other matches, I have said that these two teams are in the same situation as equals. without Osimhen, being a big loss for Napoli. that way, Milan's chances of winning the match at their home ground are wide open. and yes, I think Milan has the potential to topple Napoli. by the way, in football, sometimes the results are surprising. so come on, let's see if there are any surprising teams in this match, it's interesting for us to wait for.

AC Milan vs Napoli is a game that is difficult to predict, all of this is inseparable from the surprising results of the last match of the two teams when AC Milan was able to win big over Napoli.
and also this is a Champions League match, Napoli is a team that doesn't have the mentality as strong as AC Milan on the European stage.

Even if Milan really punished Napoli too hard in the previous match, but in the Champions League I think things will be very different. The atmosphere of the Champions League competition is very tight, so I hope this match will be the most difficult for anyone to predict.

Talking about possibilities, then I think Milan have good possibility for the first leg. Milan are playing at home, that will give them slight advantage over Napoli, but I'm not sure if Stefano Pioli can continue his good record today. Napoli are strong team, so I hope there is a lot of impact in the match when they have Victor Osimhen.

[safari88]

AC Milan is the favorite to win tonight's match against Napoli. And why not? Last in the league they won 0-4. That seemed like a match/result against amateurs when you see 0-4. But Napoli is very dominant throughout the competition and they have also made a big impression in the CL at times. Benfica was a huge disappointment, thus losing 0-2 then we can conclude that Inter will continue. A semi-final between 2 Italian teams is 95% certain. Are we waiting for that? I do not think so. But Napoli - Manchester City would be a great poster. City is through to the next round, even though crazier things have happened in Munich.
