UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[W Jr.]

With all the efforts done on Chelsea so far, in trying to bring back Chelsea into form, right from the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and to the sacking of Graham Potter to bringing in Lampard now, yet things seem to be worsening. I'm beginning to think that Chelsea has entered and is facing their down time as a football club.  

Arsenal and Manchester united was once upon a time in that situation, even Liverpool too. However, what they need do right now, is to bring the right measure in place to get Chelsea out early, in order not to spend more time than they should spend struggling to get up, hence they will lose the ability to buy high valuable players, because every player wants to see himself play in the champions league compition.

The Arsenal team is doing great in the English Premier League, and is competing with Manchester City. However, Arsenal's performance in other leagues is slightly lower than in the Premier League. But Arsenal are much better than they were in the past.

Arsenal has been eliminated from both the FA Cup and Europa League, leaving them with only the Premier League for the remainder of the season. It is hoped that they will win the Premier League and qualify for the Champions League next season. It would be fascinating to see their performance in the Champions League, as Manchester City has been making waves in recent years. Even if they do not reach the final, it would be great if they can make it to the semi-finals and restore confidence in their fans and if they win the cup, It will be a great achievement for the Emirate.

I would like Arsenal to make it and win the Premier league. That reminds me when I was small boy and watched Arsenal dominate the league with such legendary players and legendary coach. Let's hope they can keep the lead in league and City gets more focused on Champions League.

If arsenal had won their game yesterday it would have been very easy for them to win the Premier League but now they have to  struggle to win the rest  of the games which is not still sure for them.  Arsenal will be so lucky only if Manchester City will lose some of their games, then  the Premier league is sure for them.

The mistake from Arsenal has already happened why not look ahead and be consistent with the remaining games
Arsenal will still win the league yesterday penalty miss from Saka made a fan calling him a monkey forgetting all the good things he has done in the last 29 games. That is a wrong way to address Saka who has been a very important player for Mikel Arteta

The same was done not only to Saka, but also to Lukaku in Serie A. This is such an ugly thing. I hate racism.  Who knew you could be born black or white? Can Black or White have an advantage? These are nonsense. These events hurt Arsenal, which needs to concentrate so much for the league title.

Chelsea have already given up on this season. It isn't difficult to understand this even from their not signing a permanent manager already now.

Lampard isn't a good tactician honestly and I think he is even a bad choice for a caretaker manager job. I didn't like his moves against Real Madrid even a bit. His player choices for substitutions and the time of those actions weren't much good. They could have at least found a better manager than him until the end of the season. At least they could have fought back against Real Madrid decently. Anyway, I think this matchup is already over. Real Madrid have a decent advantage already and they should be able to finish the incomplete job by getting another win in Stamford Bridge.

I think this is just a temporary solution. The permanent solution is going to be something/someone different. We all know that Lampard is not here suitable coach for any club which wants to finish in the top four. Of course, Chelsea knows that as well. Probably they are trying to do something like, if Chelsea does show improvement, they will continue with Lampard. But if they do not show improvement, they will get someone new in the upcoming season.

I hope Chelsea has a plan. Because without a proper plan and good execution, they are not going to improve from the situation that they are in right now.

well, however, with Lampard's position, which is only a temporary coach until this season ends. then we can not expect much for this. Lampard even had bad achievements when he coached Everton. but it seems Todd Boehly is doing a little bit of speculation on this. i.e. he knows Lampard is a legend for Chelsea. and currently Todd is just trying to give Lampard the opportunity to contribute to the team that had raised Lampard's name. although I agree that Real Madrid will be favored in the second leg later. but I still expect an exciting match. and I hope there is a surprise in the game.

People look at the present, and they often easily forget the good that one has had. Saka is not a player that should be downgraded, let's assume that disappointment and annoyance are causing that. No one is perfect, even the better players have all lost one penalty or the other, it's part of the game, and we have to move on and forgive.

Still, this is a misfortune on the part of Arsenal, it could cost them more than you think. With the rate at which Man City is challenging them, they might blow away their chance to win the trophy.

[hyudien]

Some unexpected results in the first leg might also be a surprise in the second leg, where teams that seemed to be safe with tickets to the semifinals in their hands actually became eliminated, even though this looks quite impossible, for example, the Bayern Munich vs Man City match, Inter Milan vs Benfica as well as Chelsea vs Real Madrid but sometimes the spectators is waiting for a surprise.

Bayern Munich will have to solve their impossible mission to beat Manchester City three goals at least. If they have had one goal in a first leg, their task in a second leg would have been more easily. Anyway, they have to forget about bad result in a first leg and focus on a second leg. No much time to waste as the second leg match is very nearly to play.

I would dare to place a bet on Man City in Leg 2, not just a 3 point advantage from Leg 1, but seeing that Man City's current performance is quite convincing and Bayern Munich's chances are getting slimmer. Moreover, the problems faced by the Bayern Munich team disrupted its stability. Even though playing at the Bayern Munich headquarters, even that will not make Pep Guardiola and his squad isolated. Meanwhile, Man City is in top form and has shown a bond between its players.

[Alanaz]

Maybe Milan won the first leg by 1-0 but I'm still favouring Napoli to eliminate them in this round. Because Osimhen is finally back after his injury.

Osimhen's absence was their main problem in the first leg. They found so many opportunities to score but they still couldn't. They had big problems on finishing despite having many opportunities. Osimhen is really the most important player for Napoli right now. I think he will make a big impact on the matchup in the second leg. Napoli can still eliminate Milan thanks to Osimhen's returnal. I think they will do this as well.

1 goal shouldn't be a problem for Napoli if we look at what they've done this season. AC milan will also surely realize that their opponent has the qualities that can turn things around in the second leg later. Playing defense is not a wise choice for AC Milan, but I want to see how the coach can maintain what they achieved in the first leg.

True, my friend also has a prediction and belief that Manchester City can easily beat Bayern Munich in the upcoming match, even though the match took place at home to Bayern Munich, it does not rule out the possibility for Haaland and his teammates to beat Bayern Munich.
As you have said that Manchester City is in its best form and is able to beat many teams by getting quite a lot of goals too in the Champions League.
In addition, Manchester City has a Norwegian goal monster (Erling Haaland) who is able to provide many goals for Manchester City and make him a dangerous team.

Man City's second leg may have a chance to win. but not to score a lot of goals at home to Munich. indeed Munich is not so good this time, but they will not lose embarrassingly at home to Man City.
but I believe Man City will qualify for the next round. regardless of the outcome of the second leg of Munich vs Man City. they are currently 3 goals ahead. and it won't be easy for Munich to destroy Man City if in the best squad.

Even right from the time Manchester City and Bayern Munich fixture was made in the Champions League, I have never seen Bayern to be a strong opposition to dismantle Manchester City in this season's Champions League. Bayern Munich should have done something different and better assuming they did not dismiss their coach before this champions league round with Manchester City. This does not mean that Tuchel is a bad coach, but he has little time to blend the team to face Manchester City. In the second leg Manchester City will also win Muchen for the second time and definitely Manchester City will qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

[visionE2]

With Manchester City's current performance, they can undoubtedly be expected to win one of the titles this season. Because in the Champions League, Bayern Munich were comprehensively beaten in the quarter-finals in the first leg, and Manchester City is likely to secure victory in the second leg. Because of which Manchester City has a great chance of winning the Champions League title.

Almost every season, Man City has always been the favorite to win the UCL, especially after Pep's arrival, but the ending is always tragic. Hopefully this season will actually win the UCL for the first time. On the other hand, Man City is indeed a strong team and deserves to be called the giants of the EPL, but this is Bayern Munich against them. They are a team that has been consistent in the league and Europe over the past few years, even though they lost in the first leg, it does not rule out that Bayern Munich can turn things around.

Other than that, the tactics and composition of the cast are the same, but the mental details are perhaps the difference. Bayern Munich's mentality as a Bundesliga and UCL giant cannot be underestimated. The second leg will definitely be fierce between the two, I predict this match will be won by Bayer Munchen but with a narrow score of 1-0, Man City will advance to the next round because they won on aggregate.

Maybe Milan won the first leg by 1-0 but I'm still favouring Napoli to eliminate them in this round. Because Osimhen is finally back after his injury.

Osimhen is really the most important player for Napoli right now. I think he will make a big impact on the matchup in the second leg. Napoli can still eliminate Milan thanks to Osimhen's returnal. I think they will do this as well.

1 goal shouldn't be a problem for Napoli if we look at what they've done this season. AC milan will also surely realize that their opponent has the qualities that can turn things around in the second leg later. Playing defense is not a wise choice for AC Milan, but I want to see how the coach can maintain what they achieved in the first leg.

AC Milan will definitely try to maintain the advantage they achieved in the first leg. But yes, you are right that AC Milan also realizes that the second leg will be a tough game for them. Because most likely Napoli in the second leg will play much better than in the first leg because Osimhen will certainly be able to play for that match. And it seems that everyone also knows that the presence of Osimhen in this match will bring big changes to Napoli's front line which will become sharper and can endanger Milan's goal. I'm really looking forward to this fight.

[Razmirraz]

Manchester City will undoubtedly defeat Bayern Munich in the return match because Bayern Munich's players are not as physically fit as Manchester City and scoring 3-0 wasn't something that Bayern Munich could easily recover from. Even if Bayern Munich were to score, I don't believe they would be able to score as many as 3-0.
I'm confident that Manchester City will still defeat Bayern Munich because they have excellent players who don't hesitate or make mistakes when scoring goals.

Greater chances exist for Manchester City to go to the semifinals of the Champions League than for Bayern Munich, whom they defeated 3-0 in their first leg match at the Etihad Stadium. The second leg of their next game at Bayern Munich's home stadium, the Alianz Arena, will probably be challenging for them. Bayern Munich could defeat Manchester City at the Alianz Arena, but I still don't think they'll pull off a miraculous comeback to eliminate them. Even if Bayern wins the game, it will be difficult for them to advance ahead of Manchester City.

All possibilities can still happen in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich has the ability to make a comeback, but the opponent they are facing is too tough who is in his best form.
Bayern Munich have yet to completely merge with Tuchel's style, the defeat in the first leg means they are not ready for the quarter-finals. City will maintain the advantage in order to maintain the chances of survival in the UCL, Guardiola will make a surprise in front of the Munich fans.

what makes Man City superior is not because the performance of Man City players is very good but Bayern Munich is in a crisis period, several players are injured and maybe there are some who cannot compete.
well, from here we start to understand that in the second leg match Man City really has hope of winning in the upcoming match.
I am very concerned about Bayern Munich's current state but anyway if Munich doesn't want to lose this second leg, a defensive formation is the right choice for Munich

[famososMuertos]

.../Q/:::::
The season is going to its last several weeks and taking titles or end the season with nothing will depend on coming weeks. Looks like Manchester City have good chance to win Premier League after Arsenal suddenly got a draw yesterday.

In Champions League, it is too soon to say about the title. They will have to meet another big club in semi final before we can discuss about Manchester City chance in a final match.

Manchester city is favourite for the champions league title, they will get to the finals. I don't see any team stopping them than Real Madrid. Next week they will play Bayern Munich in the second leg. Then for the premier league title, Manchester city will clinch the title from Arsenal, Arsenal has dropped unnecessary points recently. Manchester city will win. Double this season if they I winning games.
[/quote]

There are teams that destroy the dreams of the great teams that apparently have a "clear" path and these two are Bayer Munich and RM, these two teams are perhaps the two best to do it.

So, I think that beating one of these two teams is feasible, but Arsenal remains other obstacles... it seems that MCI has a lot to lose and not the opposite.

[Pulsar77]

About the rematch between Napoli and Milan I feel very positive for Napoli this time. It was the same for the first leg as well by the way but Napoli couldn't become very effective due to lacking Osimhen's finishing skills. But they were still able to create so many goal opportunities. They at least prevented a bigger loss while they were wasting so many chances. But this time things must be more different. I have started to believe in Napoli's advancing to the next stage more than ever thanks to Osimhen's returnal.

I'm just indecisive about if they can eliminate Milan in regular time. It depends on the resistance level of Milan defense actually. But defending hasn't been the best thing they do in this season so we never know. If they can't keep full concentration on the match then Napoli have the power to make use of it.

Im feeling so good with performance of manchester city in the first leg. Tuchel has been making bayern to go down again to the ground after it was having an excellent result in UCL with a perfect win rate. It doesn't matter a lot of manchester city will be playing away. The result will always be the same if city gonna win the match against bayern. The came of tuchel was not changing anything in the club. Tuchel was making it even worse from day to another day. It's a good result that is already expected by the club itself .

Im still confusin to what kind of setup that will be used by tuchel against the perfect team of guardiola right now. I kinda feelt hat if de ligt will be trying so hard to protect haaland.
I waill say bye for bayern right now. Manchester city holds more than 85% probability to win the match.

[Luzin]

All possibilities can still happen in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich has the ability to make a comeback, but the opponent they are facing is too tough who is in his best form.
Bayern Munich have yet to completely merge with Tuchel's style, the defeat in the first leg means they are not ready for the quarter-finals. City will maintain the advantage in order to maintain the chances of survival in the UCL, Guardiola will make a surprise in front of the Munich fans.

But it's true that Tuchel's adaptation is not very good. Tuchel didn't start well. At the weekend against Hoffenheim they only draw. Fortunately, Dortmund also draw, otherwise they will shift to second place. For UCL of course they have a chance, but the three-goal gap is not small. It's difficult but I think there's still a chance of qualifying, Tuchel shouldn't repeat the mistakes in the first leg. Tuchel must shut down Haaland and De Brunye.

[bitgolden]

Benfica lost at their home stadium which is so bad for them. Losing at home with two goals is a super bad result which is not good for them in a second leg at Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Inter Milan did not have good form in Serie A but with this great advantage from a first leg, they will be able to secure it and go to semi finals. Inter Milan will meet either Napoli or AC Milan in semi finals.

I think it was expected to begin with. I mean think about it, we are talking about Benfica vs Inter, and in any other normal circumstance we would guess that Benfica would lose both games and that is what would be expected from Inter to do.

However, this year Inter did a bit bad during the league so everyone is guessing that Benfica could have taken advantage of that and would have gotten a good result, even if they are going to lose at least lose at away game and win at home so they would not go further but get one game, or even a draw at least. I think Inter may have been bad during the league, but they are still big enough of a club that they know the importance of UCL and even if you lose at semi finals or finals, being there means a lot of money.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I wasn't expecting such thing like winning both of the games from Inter. Because Benfica have technically been doing much better than Inter this season in general.

Benfica are getting closer to the Liga Portugal title every week. They lost their last two games which led to Porto's decreasing the point difference to 4 points though. But still there are six weeks remaining and Benfica are the closest team to make it. Their Champions League performance has also been impressive in general. Their group stage performance against PSG was also great. When I thought of all of this I waited for them to play solid against Inter. But there was just a loss by 2-0 at the end. I don't think they can make a comeback from this situation.

[Bananington]

right now Bayern's performance is very bad in the bundesliga especially when they have to face Manchester city. I really can't think of how they can turn this situation around in the second leg later, and in my opinion it's almost impossible even though Bayern will be playing at home.

Manchester City ensure that they made good use of their advantage at home to give themselves a very good lead, If Bayern will win Manchester city to qualify to the next round, they will need to put pressure on them from the starting of the game to the end and ensure that they play overall better than Manchester City. This is a very difficult thing for any team to currently do against Manchester City with how good they are. Even if you dominate the first half, they will play better in the second half. Bayern have a chance, but it is a very little one.
