UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Josefjix]

PSG really lost two points huh.

It was a very lucky moment for Benfica I believe. Because they were really helpless in the second half. PSG did everything they could to get a win here but somehow it ended by a 1-1 draw. PSG are still comfortable in the group of course. But maybe they might have missed the opportunity of guaranteeing their lead by the fourth group matches already.

PSG are not very comfortable in the Ligue 1 as there is a Marseille threat right behind now. Therefore PSG had better secure the lead early here to focus on the Ligue 1 more until last 16 stage in the Champions League starts.

PSG losing points in games that they would have won is a very dissapointing. One true fact about the game is that, Benfica didn't come out to dominate the game with PSG, but we're cautious of their defend lines with and besides it's there prime, let them make good use of it. PSG on top of their UEFEA group table and they needs more playing time in other. PSG boss, Christophe Galtier really wants to win trophies and makes his job to be safe.

Haaland is such a special player that he scored 2 goals even though he played for only 45 minutes in this match. I understand why Guardiola replaced him with another player this much early because he needs to think of the Premier League on one hand. Copenhagen were already an easy opponent for them and Haaland's leaving the field didn't affect Manchester City much as they still won 5-0. Manchester City are one of the teams that have the most impressive stats in the group stage. But the most important part will be their performance after this stage. Unless Haaland gets injured it really feels like they are invincible. 

The Pep's boys keep bagging their point and maintaining their unbeaten streak in the group stage. Haaland's signing has made them so formidable and has added so much to their strength that i doubt if there is any club in the cL at the moment that Manchester City can't withstand 

It was interesting to see PSG losing points after 1-1 result by the way. I was quite confident about them to win this. PSG improved their dominance in the second half very much but still it didn't help. I appreciate Benfica's solid resistance. It was interesting to see Galtier replacing Messi with Sarabia in the 81st minute while they were searching for the winning goal.

The home goal by Pereira cost them their win, PSG remained the favourite even till the end of the match. The second half was full of brilliant saves from Donnarumma. PSG had a nice dominance in the second half but were unable to seal up the complete 3 points. Galteir substitution of Messi was needed even though he needed the goals but trying Sarabia wasn't a bad idea he should start getting prepared incase of injury

PSG were the favorites in that game, but the fact is that Benfica played at home for anything today. Benfica tried to keep things good for today even though they couldn't score, but they were lucky that PSG didn't score much in this match which only Messi managed to do in the first half.

Neymar and Mbappe couldn't score even though I believe they had chances too. So this draw is actually not what PSG supporters want, but of course they don't lose much in this match because PSG are still leading the group standings. Of course it's disappointing for PSG fans, but that was the best result today for the match.

[lalabotax]

You're right, Chelsea caught our eye today, a big win 3-0 against a strong team from Serie A is proof that they are back on track
And Aubameyang managed to score one of the goals at the same time proving that Arsenal should regret letting him go  
The struggle for the standings in Group E is quite tight, at least 4 teams still have a chance to qualify Salzburge, Chelsea, Milan and Zagreb.

Chelsea returned to be a strong team again after they have Aubameyang in their squad. Now, Chelsea attacking looks better than previously, they can be productive again in scoring. By winning 3 goals against a big team like AC Milan, we realize that Chelsea gradually improves their performance in UCL and in EPL as well. Sure, Arsenal should regret it but they have Gabriel Jesus now, he is a great striker too.

Regarding the chances of 4 teams in group E, I believe Chelsea and AC Milan will be qualified at the end of the group stages. Although basically, it is difficult to determine which team to be qualified for because the point gap is only 1-2 points, even Chelsea and AC Milan have the same points. It is very interesting to see the results of the next matches in this group, it may determine which team to qualify.

At least this is still something good although it's a shame they couldn't make 3 points in this match.
Actually this is something that is hard to believe because a lot of their chances were wasted actually, and with this especially for this season it seems I'm starting to doubt again that they can achieve better things in the Champions League this time because when you see now there are a better team than them in my opinion and more suited to be champions.

PSG really lost two points huh.

This is very disappointing. Fortunately, they are still in the top standing in the group.
PSG has many football superstars, there Messi, Mbappe, and also Neymar in their attacking lines. Who doesn't know them?
But, why PSG sometimes plays inconsistently and disappointingly? Or, because there are too many superstars in the attacking lines, they may be going to show that one is the best, without thinking more about the club's solidity and unity.
Well, if they are not able to decrease their egoism and cannot play very well so far, their performance will not be as good as another team again. Although we know that this club is actually a giant club, with great squads, good financials, and another positive thing. Hopefully, this club will not disappoint again in the next match vs Benfica again.

[Jackl87]

City - Copenhagen is 3-0 at halftime. I didn't expect anything other than a result like this. Now Dortmund also seems to be in good order with a 0-3 score from Sevilla. They have that match in their pocket. Most eyes will now be on Chelsea against AC Milan where Chelsea are currently 1-0. AC Milan are a team that can score easily, but some days it is extremely difficult. Haaland has already scored 2 times today, so that's going well again. I suspect a hat trick can be added for him.

I just watched the highlights of the Sevilla - Dortmund match and i have to say that apparently the match way closer than the result of 1-4 would suggest. Sevilla also had quite a lot very good chances to score but they just were not effective enough with their chances and the goalkeeper of Dortmund also made some really good saves. Dortmund was very effective in the first half with their chances this is what made the huge difference today. I don't follow the Primera Division that closely but i was very surprised when i heard that Sevilla is currently only on the 17th position in the Spanish league. They are definitely playing way better than that.

PSG should be able to beat Benfica, if we look at the match statistics PSG dominates and creates more chances. Unfortunately the match ended
in a draw, and it was a very disappointing result for PSG, because PSG had to drop points. It must be admitted that Benfica has a very solid defense,
it can be proven by PSG players who have difficulty scoring goals. Even though PSG shot up to 15 times, it seems that luck does not belong to PSG,
because for 90 minutes PSG can only score 1 goal. Currently PSG have the same points as Benfica, and that means PSG's position at the top is not safe.
I hope Galtier can make PSG's performance even better, because I see PSG's performance has not been too optimal this season. With the quality of
PSG's players, PSG should be able to show a much better performance.

WHO IS ERLING HAALAND?

Erling Haaland is a young footballer from Norway for loves football  and goal scoring more than anything. Haaland is that player who doesn't have anything to prove again. He is totally unstoppable by any defence. Haaland does not only score in almost every match, but he also assists in also every match.
The world of football have been wondering who will replace Messi and Ronaldo, while we were looking at Neymar and Salah from no where Haaland came to the stage.

Now one sad thing is that we won't see him in the world Cup.

Haaland got 2 goals and 1 assist against Copenhagen before he was substituted.

For the City game against Copenhagen, I was expecting a hat trick from Haaland in the first half but unfortunately he got a brace in less than 40 minutes, it was yet again another beautiful performance from City and the goal made easy Haaland getting 2 goals after scoring a hat trick against Manchester United last weekend n the derby match, good game for City and a wonderful outing from the guys .

I was not comfortable with Pep's decision to substitute Haaland in the second half. I have the feeling that he has deprived him a hat-trick in the match. He shouldn't limit the guy,  not even now that he is on fire. I understand that Haaland is important to Manchester City team and that is why the substitute him to reserve him. It will also not make him not to be injured if injury wants to come. Some people even get injured during training. Guardiola should not make Haaland and fans feel bad. He is in competition with other scorers in Champions league, allow him to use the weak team to increase his goal tally.

[Vinaa77]

But I wonder how Shakhtar will play against Real Madrid, because they beat Real away a few years ago. Probably in the second half Real will not allow them to score more, but Shakhtar don't want to lose yet.

Real Madrid played very freely in the 3rd match against Shakhtar. Real Madrid has more control over the pitch than Shakhtar. Despite a narrow win with a 2-1 result, thanks to goals from Rodrygo and V. Junior. I think these two young Real Madrid players are Madrid's mainstays in every game. They can help every game even though Benzema's form has been subdued after being injured in recent weeks.

[Yawa2020]

A good result for Chelsea. Much better performance in the second half. I think the first goal gave us the confidence. Take this confidence and form to the next six games, and our season will be very much brighter again. Glad to see Kepa Arrizabalaga with a clean sheet. Hope he is getting back to his beast form here and onwards. He already won my heart for trying to fight for his place at Chelsea Football Club. Meanwhile, the best way to use Jorginho unveiled and simplified. Bring him in when game is settled since he  prefers to pass to Thiago Silva than the attackers.
Carney Chukwuemeka and Zakaria also deserves playing time to boost their confidence and team spirit.
Next is to complete the work in Milan and be comfortable on the table again.

Haaland is such a special player that he scored 2 goals even though he played for only 45 minutes in this match. I understand why Guardiola replaced him with another player this much early because he needs to think of the Premier League on one hand.

Sometimes I don't understand this managers, things like this are why this young players will hardly leave up to the expectations of Ronaldo and Messi. Haaland was on his way to another hat trick and you deprived him of that whe  you know you can win any premier league game even without Haaland starting. Pep should have left him on the pitch to get that one goal even though he had to play just few minutes in the second half. It was another easy win for Manchester city so I guess all played out fine.

Chelsea returned to be a strong team again after they have Aubameyang in their squad. Now, Chelsea attacking looks better than previously, they can be productive again in scoring.

Our attackers aren't at their best yet although there has been some improvement and that has to be accredited to the manager as he has been abel to make the squad adapt his style of play. Thomas Tuchel was killing our attacking threat as he was more concerned about not conceding than scoring but that's not the case about our new manager. Big congratulations to him as it seems this was his first clean sheet and glad for kepa leaving up to the trust in him by making that close saved. Good result in general.

Chelsea played incredibly well against AC Milan in today's Champions League encounter. This is their first victory in the Champions League this season and Graham Potter's first victory in Champions League as manager. They controlled the game, particularly in terms of shots on goal. I can tell that the players are adjusting to Graham's playing style as he starts to understand them better. Chelsea may be back to winning after recording two straight victories; let's hope they can maintain this drive.

A well-deserved win for Chelsea. Chelsea is gradually developing into a good form under Graham Potter's watch. Which is a good thing. All Chelsea players improved in their performances than their previous match, where they were struggling and missed the chance to score.

As for now, Salzburg is topping with 5points, Chelsea and Milan have 4points while Zagreb has 3points. Chelsea is just topping AC Milan with a goal difference. Next week, will be an away match for Chelsea against Milan, by then we would be after which club will take the first or second position in the group stage

As unexpected as Chelsea result was today, I have no much things to say than - Graham Potter will be successful in Chelsea . I was among those who do not initially believe him,I was of the opinion that Chelsea club is bigger than him. I was wrong, the stage we said is bigger than him is where he is and he is doing well on the stage. He hasn't lost any match yer despite that he didn't even enough time with the boys since he assumed office as the head coach of Chelsea fc. As things are going, Chelsea fans will later appreciate the decision of Todd to dismiss Tuchel.

PSG should be able to beat Benfica, if we look at the match statistics PSG dominates and creates more chances. Unfortunately the match ended

Well dominance doesn't mean you would win. If you are dominant and don't get to convert your chances, your sure to end up just as PSG did, a draw or even worst by loosing. PSG was lucky not to lose today as Benfica stayed strong in there home game and earned there draw.

On the Manchester City game, I predicted for Copenhagen to have watched out for a 5 goals possibility and they let that happened. I was hoping Erling Haaland would get his 3rd goal but Pep didn't allow that by taking him off the pitch as a half time substitute. The game was already won though so, it was the best thing and an opportunity to test some of his young bloods in an important league. Manchester City is just on another level.

Although PSG dominated the match both teams deserve a point. The unbeaten Benfica defended very well and also did not show PSG any respect because they were also attacking. The goalkeepers of the two teams Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG) and Odysseas Vlachodimos (Benfica) made the game have fewer goals because of their spectacular saves. The match would have ended in favor of PSG if not for that careless loss of the ball by Neymar that led to Benfica's goal. Although there has been a sort of better synergy between Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi I have this belief that the three of them would not be very productive playing in one team

A well-deserved win for Chelsea. Chelsea is gradually developing into a good form under Graham Potter's watch. Which is a good thing. All Chelsea players improved in their performances than their previous match, where they were struggling and missed the chance to score.

This win is a victory and motivation for the team that has gone through a lot of bad times. I am sure Graham Potter would be the most excited coach today because he is gradually gaining the confidence of the unpredictable Chelsea management. Reece James was the best player in that game today. His solid defending and attacking skills in second to none. He had an assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal and also scored a spectacular goal that surprised Milan keeper Ciprian Tatarusanu. The dark part of the victory is the injury suffered by Wesley Fofana. The club would be praying that it is not very serious because he is growing to become a very important part of the team

that was good if chelsea was getting a good result., This time the point between chelsea and intermilan are the same. that means if chelsea may able to go to the next stage. The gap with the salzburg was only 1 point. This can be surpassed easily if chelsea will able to win all remaining matches for the second leg. That's good to see that graham make some improvements with chelsea.

It's a pretty interesting group as their points are close together but Milan clearly have to change the game for the better if they are to qualify for the next stage.
This striking defeat is clearly a big blow, in my opinion, on the other hand, currently Salzburg are still in 1st position which in fact they are the dark horses in this group.

In this match also we can see that Potter seems to find a good scheme for Chelsea.

It is a very important winning got by Chelsea. If they can't get 3 points today, it will be difficult to qualify for the next stage because they are at the bottom of the table in this group stage. Luckily, they got full points today and they are in 2nd place now. The next match will be held at AC Milan home, if Chelsea can get full points again, Chelsea is likely to qualify for the next stage.  

Yep, Salzburg is leading with 1 point gap only. It is easy to overtake, but it seems not in the next match. Because Salzburg will play against Dinamo Zagreb which is a weak team, Salzburg seems to get 3 points more.

[Raflesia]

PSG really lost two points huh.

It was a very lucky moment for Benfica I believe. Because they were really helpless in the second half. PSG did everything they could to get a win here but somehow it ended by a 1-1 draw. PSG are still comfortable in the group of course. But maybe they might have missed the opportunity of guaranteeing their lead by the fourth group matches already.

PSG are not very comfortable in the Ligue 1 as there is a Marseille threat right behind now. Therefore PSG had better secure the lead early here to focus on the Ligue 1 more until last 16 stage in the Champions League starts.

Unfortunately I also lost my money in this match.
They did very well by dominating the game and having really good possession but there were a few mistakes they made and they wasted too many chances in this game.
They won in terms of chances but in terms of shots on target they were evenly matched and it's clear that PSG are still struggling in their midfield and defence.
