UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Furious 7]

If you are going to compare players, look at the player quality of Benfica and PSG. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe are the best attacking part of PSG. In the defense, Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos are the best defense lineup. Even then, how can we not be disappointed in PSG's game? I will compare PSG with Manchester City. So how will PSG dream of winning the Champions League?

In terms of the quality of the players, it is clear that PSG is far superior, but again, this is a game of teamwork, not individual, so that no matter how strong and big the names of the players at PSG are, when they are not able to maintain cooperation, the results will not be good.
Benfica played very solid and disciplined in this match and of course this is something that is difficult for PSG to do.
As for the championship, I still think that the Champions League is still not the place for PSG.

I'm curious how PSG will do this year. They haven't won the title once, but with a bit of luck it could have been twice. Last year it was actually inconceivable that Real Madrid would still win after the double deficit against PSG. And they lost to Bayern Munich once in the final. Based on the results in the group stage you can't say much, they don't have any pressure there and a draw against Benfica might be a bit disappointing but it's not a 4-0 loss for example. Only in the semi-finals will we see how good they really are in the CL, but it will be a strange tournament because the World Cup will also come in between. So the first cross final will only be played after the World Cup.

I still feel this year will still be the same for PSG. Regardless of how strong they are now there are still some equal teams and right now I'm at Manchester City for the Champions League.
PSG is a good club but only for Ligue 1 nothing more than that and no matter how much PSG overhauled players this season is still not for them I think.

Bookmakers are constantly changing their minds about winning the Champions League. I just think we shouldn't flatten a team like Napoli. They are currently playing really well and have also given Ajax a beating with 1-6. And recently they also won 4-1 against Liverpool, those are decent results. Napoli is so good that they can also win away at Liverpool. Win the Champions League? Normally not but this team has a chance against anyone. And as usual, you also need some luck with the draw.

Yes napoli team is performing really well but i think the knock out stage is a different story its only two games and only the best ones will remain,they faced two teams who are not in a good form this season both ajax and liverpool have trouble this season, personally i don't see them beating bayern, psg,man city and real madrid in a knock out format

The performance of the Napoli team this season is excellent. But they will have to play consistently well if they want to qualify for the next round. Let's not forget that they have two strong teams like Liverpool and Ajax in their group. So if Napoli make any mistakes and drop points, their qualification for the next round will be in doubt. But I believe Napoli will be able to hold on to the top spot in Group A.

At least qualifying for the group stage is something very good.
As for the knockout, it can still be seen later because there are always some surprises that happen. I think like last season Villarreal was surprising and it is not impossible that this season there will also be some surprises.
What Napoli have to do is continue to be consistent with the current conditions so that will be very good for them.

Even if they don't have the best squad compared to the biggest favourites of the Champions League title they still manage to find a way to win it.

Its pretty weird that you use this bolded words though because most of their lineup remains pretty much the same as last season. Thats the lineup that won the Champions League and they were not the favourites to win as well last season. Aside from that, it all comes down after the group stage though to know which teams are actually the favourites according to the statistics on the group stage

That's why that club was trying so hard for now. I do know what you meant about that but the same thing has ever happened with bayern munich, right? this club was loosing so many times even when it reaches final just like when it was against chelsea.Finally bayern able to make it several years later. The same thing is still happening with PSG to use all of its available resource to win the champion league no matter what happened with it. that's why mbappe got a very big salary.
PSG is still hunting champion league title caused by this tittle is the most difficult tittle to be won.

Actually, PSG has the most chance in the group qualification to be qualified for the next round, moreover, this club is still at the top standing in the group. But their loss in the last match against Benfica really disappointing. They have so many superstars with high talent but their performance was under enough at that time. I don know if Benfice is lucky or not, but in this case, PSG was underperformance at that time.
For League 1 itself, PSG is still at the top standing, but the point is not really far with the runner-up. If in League 1, I am still sure enough that they will have the title. But for UCL, this will be very difficult for this club because there are some other big clubs that are fighting with more consistency.

In this case what you say is true because of the many big clubs maybe only Real Madrid which did not change their players much because if we look at this season there are only Tchouameni and Rudiger who are additions there and even then they also have to lose Casemiro but the thing like this it still doesn't seem to make Madrid weak even if they are not seeded but experience is definitely decisive and I think Madrid will definitely have a lot to say in the Champions League this season.

[CLS63]

Napoli should be able to finish the group at their current position comfortably. I don't actually expect much competition between Liverpool and Ajax after seeing Ajax's very poor effort against those teams. Liverpool are improving their performance in the Champions League day by day. They can finish the group stage at the second position.

Ajax deserve the Europa League now considering their performance level. I don't know what has changed for them this much but they are no good in defense and offense both. Maybe they decided to care about the Eredivisie more and this affected their effort in the Champions League negatively.

Total voters are 57 where 35.1% chose ManCity to be Champions. I won't surprise because the performance is very well with 3 games and 3 winnings with 9 points. Besides that, Haaland's performance was like a bull that escaped from a cage. he makes trouble for the defense. he is the top score Champions and premier league with 19 goals (5 and 14), so what makes Pep worry? He doesn't. In the next Copenhagen, he really sure creates a win with 2 goals different.

I voted for Real Madrid and really expect that the club will be the champion again.
But, seeing the performance of Man City, with Haaland, well, Man City really has the biggest chance. This club is exactly very strong. We can see that Haaland has very amazing potential and talent, like a monster for their opponents,  he can make his position during the match very appropriately, and can make the defenses of opponents feel worried and afraid of that man, wow, he is awesome. Additionally, He is also supported by other great players in Man City. That's exactly very solid and complete.

Even though Napoli have been consistent in the Champions League, which has won 3 consecutive wins. And also Napoli surprised many people
who managed to beat strong teams like Ajax and Liverpool with a fairly large score. But that does not mean Napoli will be a candidate for the team
that will win the Champions League trophy, because the journey in the Champions League is still far away. We can conclude that Napoli will become
a candidate for the Champions League trophy if it turns out that Napoli is able to advance to the semifinals. For now Napoli can qualify from the group
stage alone is something extraordinary and must be given appreciation. Like you said it is possible that Napoli can surprise like Villarreal in
the previous season, because in football surprises often happen. Therefore, for now, Napoli's main focus is to be able to continue to achieve positive
results and maintain their consistent performance. We will see how far Napoli will go in the Champions League competition.

For me personally, Napoli continues to be a mystery team for this season, despite leading in its championship and in its group in the Champions League. Undoubtedly, Napoli has some chances of winning the Champions League like all other contenders, and thanks to its bright performance in the eyes of many, these chances have increased quite a lot. Another question is that only three rounds of the group stage have passed and it is too early to draw far-reaching conclusions on this basis. Everyone should remember perfectly well that Napoli started the previous season brightly and led the league for quite a long time, and then was among the leaders, but still could not win either the Scudetto or the Europa League. Therefore, we need to see what will happen next and whether Napoli has enough depth of the squad to successfully advance in those tournaments in which the team takes part. As Lionel Messi put it recently, the Champions League is difficult to win and any mistake throws you out of the tournament.

You've had your say and I can agree with you that there are far more stronger contenders in the likes of the defending champions Real Madrid,  Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich and that's about all of them but, we cannot rule out Napoli haven't seen there games so far not to be a very good contender. Like, they've practically humiliated all the teams in there group and not very small teams at that as, Liverpool and Ajax are some of the best teams out there but, they were met with an unbelievable game and score.

Ajax for one had there first goal and it seemed as though Napoli was about facing there first defeat but they came up again and again with a header to fine the net, running through the defence and the next thing we saw was an Ajax 1-6 Napoli scoreline. These guys are into something this season.

Napoli are outstanding in their previous champions league games and they're topping in their group with smashing both big team and average team. There are potential players in the club who are eager to explore more on the pitch. I wasn't expecting big actions from the Parthenopeans and the boss, Luciano Spalleti who is taking the team to the next level in the champions league. Napoli are very promising to be at least in the semi finals of the UEFEA if they maintain their consistency in games.

[blue Snow]

I think Napoli is gotten a little bit lucky over the inconsistency between Ajax and Liverpool, as I know If both (Ajax and Liverpool) play consistently I believe they won't be at 1st top. Ajax is still adapting to a new coach and player that needs much time to be consistent, while Liverpool since doesn't have Mane, they are like lost a supplier ball to Salah. So, Napoli must take advantage of the opportunity, I won't be surprised if have perfect points when Napoli plays consistently.

Hmmmm... im also choosing real madrid. People are feeling amaze with performance from city but i think that we must not forget one thing. Sometime people are believing in one team caused by its performance was amazing but there was a case when such team got beaten by another team in the final. that reminds me when chelsea against bayern muchen in the champion league. Chelsea able to beat bayern with a small score. That proves that if how good team perform during qualifier and it will not give guarantee if the team will perform better in the final.

Napoli strikers are doing wonders in this season that made many people to believed that they will win this title, because they used to achieve goals in every game just to make their fans happy and to prove to people that they have something suitable to win in this UEFA champions league competition. If Napoli can maintain their defense till the end of this tournament, it will be difficult for them to experience any challenges till they remain in first position in this tournament.

Liverpool just can't have such bad results with Mane's lack.  There must be some problems with the team.  Of course, it is clear that Napoli played very well, but I think this is partly due to the bad form of Ajax and Liverpool.  I thought they would go head to head with Ajax, I was wrong.  Napoli smashed Ajax.  Ten Haag's departure from the team had a huge impact on Ajax.

If you are going to compare players, look at the player quality of Benfica and PSG. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe are the best attacking part of PSG. In the defense, Ramos, Hakimi, Marquinhos are the best defense lineup. Even then, how can we not be disappointed in PSG's game? I will compare PSG with Manchester City. So how will PSG dream of winning the Champions League?

In terms of the quality of the players, it is clear that PSG is far superior, but again, this is a game of teamwork, not individual, so that no matter how strong and big the names of the players at PSG are, when they are not able to maintain cooperation, the results will not be good.
Benfica played very solid and disciplined in this match and of course this is something that is difficult for PSG to do.
As for the championship, I still think that the Champions League is still not the place for PSG.

I'm not going to compare Man City and PSG, they have different strengths and that's clear, in football a strong team won't always win games and that's normal.
As for SPG when they played at Bencifa's home, IMO, this match was very exciting, especially in the first half.
PSG really struggled when Benfica had a chance to attack. but PSG also did not lose the chances they had, 15 total shots, 7 shots on target, including Neymar's chances when he hit the post.
PSG owns 65% of ball possession, but what we have to admit is that Benfica is really able to keep up with PSG's game.

I'm a little different from you, IMO, SPG still has a big chance in this competition.
