UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Uruhara]

The advantage for Napoli is the return of Osimhen to the team and they are hosts for the second leg but that doesn't mean that Ac Milan chances are quite small in the second leg because they have winning capital which makes them more confident in facing Napoli in the second leg.

AC Milan has shown a winning mentality ahead of Napoli; they've met twice recently and won both games. Napoli lost to them in both Serie A and the Champions League. The second leg encounter will still be difficult to predict who will win because Napoli’s key scorer Osimhen will be present; perhaps this will increase the players' confidence to play to win AC Milan in the Champions League second leg.

In the second leg, maybe the Napoli players will indeed have higher confidence with the presence of their mainstay striker, Victor Osimhen. but actually the condition of the Napoli team cannot be said to be in good condition. because several other players are still injured and are still in the recovery stage. but at least the presence of Osimhen on the field can make the focus of the Milan players a little distracted. especially the back line will definitely focus more on blocking Osimhen in that match. but it will give the other Napoli players good enough space to make their usual sharp attacks. today Napoli, Inter and Milan had poor results in Serie A. These three clubs compactly showed an unusual match. especially Inter Milan who had to suffer defeat by Monza. maybe the coaches of these three teams really plan to only use the game to the fullest for the second leg later in the Champions League. so it's no wonder today's results in Serie A weren't good enough for these three teams. because for a while these three teams are focused on facing the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

it is possible that the second leg will belong to Napoli if they are able to play aggressively from the early minutes. Osimhen will be a big enough hero for Napoli if he is able to bring victory to Napoli in the second leg later.

I believe Napoli can turn things around because losing 1-0 to AC Milan in the first leg has not broken their hopes because they lost by a narrow score. Spalletti must be able to get Napoli to end their bad streak against AC Milan if they are to qualify for the next round.
In the Bayern Munich vs Manchester City match, I believe that Manchester City will be able to control this match because they won a big win in the first leg. Only a miracle can turn things around for Bayern Munich.

Yes, AC Milan stay dominant in the matches against Napoli. In one of its encounter Milan managed to score 4-0 against Napoli. From there it have won 2-1 against Lecce and the other one is drawn against Verona. The upcoming match is more important and the the odds were completely in favour of AC Milan which used to vary when the match is live. This time Napoli will record its win against AC Milan under the guidance from Luciano Spalletti as it is something pre written that AC Milan wins against Napoli as the last four encounters were in favour of AC Milan.

This 1-0 defeat must be a huge disappointment for Napoli. You can look at it in different ways of course. Napoli had a great chance within 2 minutes. And in the first 20 minutes they should have scored at least 2-3 goals. If you don't, you're bringing the trouble on yourself. But if Napoli reach their level as they can play, then we get to see a nice game in Naples. I wouldn't dare say who the favorite is now after the first game. AC Milan was very good in the league match against Napoli when they won 0-4. Would Benfica have no chance at all in Milan at Inter?

Napoli certainly deserved a much better result, but this is the Champions League, the most difficult competition in the world, where every mistake pays dearly.
The fact is that Napoli played without their best striker, but now they have a very difficult rematch against Milan, and I would say that now Milan has a slightly better chance of reaching the semifinals of the competition.
Benfica disappointed me a lot in the first game against Inter, I expected much more from them.
Of course, there is always a chance in football, but honestly, if Inter in return plays at a high level again, Benfica will have no chance of winning.

In the game between Napoli and Ac Milan, I think the reason of why Napoli lost the game was because of their Nigerian forward Osimhen was absent in this game and they proved they can't have a good performance without Osimhen, According to some news Osimhen will be ready for the second leg and the 1-0 result is not so bad for Napoli that's why I think Ac Milan should be scared for the second leg.

The second leg between napoli and ac milan will be an explosive atmosphere because napoli will definitely come out with full offensive football looking to overturn the tide to their favour and like you said one goal difference is really a narrow Victory and with knowing what napoli are capable of, i think they can manage to squeeze themselves in the next round which is the semi finals. But as for Bayern Munich and Manchester City, i think Manchester City are still going to win at the Munich stadium because this Bayern team are not capable of withstanding the attacking force of Manchester City and with haaland at his best he will be looking to fulfill all revenge scores he has with this bayern team.

Op has never updated on the team selection options for the team that will become the UCL champion this season.  Even though the team that had been eliminated should have been crossed out from the poll results.

In my opinion the strongest teams in the ucl after the first leg finished were manchester city, real madrid, inter milan and ac milan because they were able to secure victory in the first leg.

But for the second leg it could be that there will be a stronger change, it could be that Napoli will make an extraordinary comeback as well as Benfica.

[Velvet78]

Manchester City are quite close to the semi finals now after getting a very solid win like 3-0 over Bayern Munich. Honestly I was waiting for Manchester City to win in Etihad but this was way more than my expectations. Especially in the second half Bayern Munich were pretty bad against them. It was like the game Manchester City played against Leipzig in this half.

Bayern Munich have nothing to lose from now on. They will need to take much bigger risks and Manchester City are just the team to benefit from that.

After Napoli's 4-0 defeat against Milan in Serie A I thought it was just an accident. Expected Napoli to dominate the Champions League and beat Milan easily. But we don't see that. Napoli lost 1-0 against Milan in the Champions League match. Milan's defense is very strong. Napoli players could not score any goal despite attacking a lot. As Milan already won 1-0 in the first leg. They will try to draw the match in the second leg. And because Milan's defense is so strong. And so it will be very difficult for Napoli to win the match. But the match is Napoli's home match. Napoli have the ability to beat Milan by a big margin if the home Napoli players are confident.

all of that will be difficult to do considering Ac milan will continue to focus on their game to play better than what they showed during the first leg match. the second leg will be a match of life and death both ac milan and napoli they will give all their strength for the second leg later.

The advantage for Napoli is the return of Osimhen to the team and they are hosts for the second leg but that doesn't mean that Ac Milan chances are quite small in the second leg because they have winning capital which makes them more confident in facing Napoli in the second leg.

Napoli has struggled in the past two weeks and has fallen shot of the intimidating performance that's left leading the league table by an almost 20 points difference. But in the past two weeks, they were without their biggest threat and their in form inform striker Victor Osimhen but the good news now is that he's back to the team and so the second leg of UEFA Champions League quarter final encounter with AC Milan will not be an easy match as Napoli will try to make amends to their shortcomings by emphatically wining the match

Napoli knows they have already gotten the italian league championship that is why they don't put too much effort in their games. I think the Champions league match is something they would not want  to lose easily,   Napoli  will still remain tough in  their performance in Champions league.

Good they finally have him backhe was indeed missed by the fans in the first leg
Another boring and baring game with no goals
Having Oshime back is like having the prime Lionel Messi back within your squad so much conference in the player

The next games for next week are the games of Chelsea and Napoli, both playing at home. Chelsea has already been eliminated from all bookmakers, but how certain is that really? 2-0 is a good result for Real, but Real has also proved vulnerable in other games and Chelsea even led 0-3 in Madrid the last time both teams played against each other. No harbinger or guarantee, just some info. Those are numbers Chelsea should hold on to, just a shame they lost to Brighton in the league today. They have a new trainer, but he can't do magic either, of course.

No hope for chelsea. The club is still consistently performing the worst no matter what kind of competition it is. Chelsea keeps showing awful performances again big or small teams. I would like to call that chelsea as a mediocre team that was even worst compared with the small teams in EPL.
Nothing really change from real madrid. Real madrid is still a very consistent club in UCL. The chance for madrid to make more goals against chelsea in stamford bridge is very big. I don't even think much going to change for the second leg.
Chelsea will keep performing the worst. it has become a habit by chelsea. Some useless players can fuck off in summer. Chelsea needs not only to sell some players but it needs also to change the coach.

The bookies are still favoring madrid even though the game will be played at stamford bridge. It seems like that chelsea has no chance anymore to be qualified for semifinal.
Madrid will be facing city in the next stage as city is having very big chance to win against bayern.

That's true, Napoli already won the Serie A title, and all the games until the end of this season are just friendly matches for this team also I think they should stop using some key players like Osimhen for all games in Serie A and let him stay french for the champions league if they beat Ac Milan they are going to face with other teams and absence of these players will damage the team.

I haven't accepted defeat until the last whistle ends the match. I know I sound silly but do I believe Chelsea has it in them to turn the feature around and get a victory to progress? Yes we do. We lost against Dortmund and many people wrote is off but then won at our home and progress to the quarter finals. I believe we can do the same against Real Madrid. This is football and anything is possible. It just takes Lampard to make the right selection and the determination of the players to want to win the game for us to come out victorious. No disrespect to Real Madrid but what did they play in the first leg? Sure they won but they could only get a second goal after we went 10 man down.

Real Madrid are already a power house but they couldn't destroy us until we were one man down. What if they get the same fate in the return leg and one or even two of their players get sent off wrongly just as chilwel was sent off for a soft tackle. Anything is possible in football, we just have to score 3 goals without them responding and we're through into the semi finals. It looks very impossible to achieve mainly because we have been lacking goals this season but I won't doubt my club and even though we lose I'll keep my head high as in the midst of the worst season since I became a fan we still made it to the quarter finals of the champions league.

as i said in another thread that may have to change the cast. because Lampard has always tried to experiment with using any formation, it still fails and Chelsea is still giving a very bad performance.
in this second leg I think Madrid will still be the best and be able to beat Chelsea.

The Real Madrid team has become a truly remarkable team at present. Their performance in the Champions League is absolutely commendable. I want to watch the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City. That's why it will be a different match when the two best teams meet.

Honestly I was waiting for Manchester City to win in Etihad but this was way more than my expectations. Especially in the second half Bayern Munich were pretty bad against them.

Bayern Munich have nothing to lose from now on. They will need to take much bigger risks and Manchester City are just the team to benefit from that.

In the past season, they got big advantage after the first leg against Real Madrid but we all knew what happened and how Manchester City ended their last Champions League season. I don't think they are as weak as they were in the past season mentally and they should learn some sort of lesson after many seasons playing with biggest clubs in Champions League.

Especially Bayern Munich are not at their best form in this season. From player quality to their performance, they are not at best form and it is good for Manchester City to go to Munich and avoid big loss from 0 -3 and bigger to be eligible for semi finals. I think they will be able to achieve this target and will aim at their final match and first title in Champions League.

Even though Bayern could indeed play more openly and attack because they have to score a lot of goals, I doubt Bayern Munich can do it well. because I saw that Bayern even had bad match results in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Man City seems to continue to show their solid strength at the moment in the Premier League. so even for the second leg it seems that Man City will still win and qualify for the semi-finals.

The second leg will be a key witness for their slick performance in the Champions league. I don't know if this will work for them considering they are struggling to beat ac milan.
Napoli have good hopes this season after they are the frontrunners to win Serie A and they still have one chance in the Champions League if they win the second leg.

for their opponent ac milan the champions league is their only hope after they failed to show their best strength in serie A this season. ac milan will try to do this even though they are greatly underestimated.

[savetheFORUM]

This 1-0 defeat must be a huge disappointment for Napoli. You can look at it in different ways of course. Napoli had a great chance within 2 minutes. And in the first 20 minutes they should have scored at least 2-3 goals. If you don't, you're bringing the trouble on yourself. But if Napoli reach their level as they can play, then we get to see a nice game in Naples. I wouldn't dare say who the favorite is now after the first game. AC Milan was very good in the league match against Napoli when they won 0-4. Would Benfica have no chance at all in Milan at Inter?

No doubt this is huge disappointment as Napoli is suddenly on poor run after having big lead in Serie A in last four matches they are having one win with two loses and one draw against Verona just because of not having Victor Osimhen in team which can create problems for them in second leg match which is going to play at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona Naples even mostly peoples feeling this is easy task for Napoli, but we can expect surprise as well because AC Milan already beats them two time with one time at home and second time at Naples which mean both having equal chance for the last four spot, but Victor Osimhen could be important for the Napoli and can AC Milan hold him this is second most important thing which will be watchable in this match.

Playing open will become a huge challenge for bayern. It's caused manchester city to have a very good squad at this moment who can played even better if the club was playing fully open. I see that no chance for bayern other than going to be fully offensive.
Three goals aggregates are a lot. It needs a clean-sheet for bayern combined with at least three or four goals to be able to win against manchester city. The problem is if bayern was making a small mistake and this potential to be converted into the goal by manchester city. Bayern needs more than to be careful against manchester city. It needs to consistently defend its goal keeper. Some mistakes will result conceded more goals by city.
It's pure gambling if bayern is willing to take fully offensive against manchester city at this moment. High risk high reward if bayern is still willing to play openly against manchester city.

but there is no other option for Bayern but to play open and attacking is impossible for those who are chasing Agg 3 goals but they play defensively, get out of their defensive game and try to match Man City to play against each other is the only way to carry out the impossible mission This.
in the second leg it is very possible for many goals to occur, I'm sure of that and I plan to bet on goals over, because Bayern will be eyeing goals making the possibility of Man City to score goals also great as we know the quality of Man City is very good this season and they very prolific in scoring goals.
