UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[zuzie]

Match week 3 of the Champions League end tense
The reason is, top teams such as Barcelona, PSG, Milan ended the 3rd week with results that were far from expectations. Barcelona's defeat made their task of qualifying for the next round even more difficult, because now Barcelona must work hard to restore the 3 points lost before when they met Inter yesterday.
While the competition in Group E is still quite fierce, Salzburg who is in 1st position with a collection of 5 points is only 1 point adrift of Chelsea and Milan who are in 2st and 3nd position in Group E.

To be honest, I don't expect Barcelona to go down to the Europa League this season. I just hope not to see it. Because they have made a big improvement compared to last season actually. I just didn't understand what was wrong with them in the last two matches here. They couldn't even score a single goal. But I don't think this will go on like this until the end of the group stage.

Barcelona are going to have a home match against Inter this time. They should finally be able to get a reassuring win and increase their chance of moving on here. This is a critical match in terms of being part of the Champions League as a result. Plzen are already an easy opponent. Let's say they got at least 4 points from Inter and Bayern Munich then it would be enough for them to qualify from the group. As Inter are recovering also Barcelona need to prepare being aware of this fact.

Barcelona have to do what Ever they can, in winning inter Milan in the second leg at Nou Camp because I think that will be their last hope, and I think xavi should use more of experience than talent in that game,I would love to see kessie and Frankie De Jong starting, because for me Gavi and Pedri are lightweight and not too experience, with kessie and the Dutch so lawendowski will see more of the ball and he should also go with Torres instead of Torres in the starting eleven because is their last hope if not they will be playing Europa League next year.

Barcelona have not been performing so good in the champions league this season and they have dropped down below second in the group stages of the UCL means they have to win the remaining games to move up the table and book a place to the round of 16. A win against Inter Milan in the second leg will be very important if they want to qualify for the next rounds of the competition.

Sure' that's why barcelona must win the remaining match to go to the another round. It's very hard for barcelona since the points that collected by barcelona was only three points from all of previous match while inter was getting 6. that means if barcelona needs to win against inter to make the point will be the same. Bayern already confirmed to go to the next round. Im sure about bayern but im feeling doubt about barcelona right now. The chance for barcelona to make it is very small at this moment.
Intermilan is performing so well in the last match. Pressure is coming for barcelona.

This trio is strong on paper. Yes, let's say if you take Neymar from the time when he tried, the young Messi + Mbappe with a stable psyche, when he was not yet mired in money and jealousy, then it would be very cool. But in the existing reality, Neymar is good, but not as when he was considered the future undisputed top 1, Messi is old, and Mbappe is unstable due to many reasons. I don't like both of these clubs, but City >> PSG without a doubt.

If Paris Saint Germain have Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, then Manchester City have Haaland Erling who has played incredible this season. But there is something interesting in my opinion, they play as a team so I will make Haaland the main favourite. I'm not trying to compare, but now I see it that way, of course by seeing how they work together as a team, not individually.

Haaland is a good striker (maybe even become a great one) but in my opinion KDB is more important for City. Any top striker can be in Haaland's place - Mbappe, Lewandowski, etc. and show similar performance, but this will be a consequence of City's team play. There is nothing like that in PSG - they are still a team of stars from the farm league, there are no prerequisites for them to be consistently successful in the Champions League.

I agree with you. Manchester City's midfield is very strong. Manchester City's forward players are able to perform brilliantly with the help of strong midfielders. But Haaland is a very talented player. So he is able to score consistently in every match. However, if Haaland was replaced by Lewandowski or Mbappe, Manchester City would have been able to score a lot of goals. Almost every player in Guardiola's squad is very talented.

I believe Haaland is the best option to meet Manchester City needs. Whoever took Haaland right now, we would be watching this performance. There were rumors that he would go to Bayern Munich for a while, and I'm sure Haaland would have performed like this if he had gone to Bayern. Of course, the good thing for Haaland is that City midfielders are so good that they send the ball directly to his feet and Haaland has to stand on the right place and touch the ball. Haaland is a top player and I enjoy watching him.

Things are starting to look up at Chelsea. Graham Potter and his team, who beat Milan 3-0 at home, will hopefully recover after this. It will be good for them to get at least a draw away from Milan next week. In fact, it is a group where chelsea will easily come 1st but the bad run has affected them. They still have a chance. If they win all their remaining matches, they will easily come first in the group.

In group E all teams still have a chance to qualify and only Salzburg have 5 points remaining while Milan and Chelsea have 4 points.
Next week will be another meeting for the second leg, of course with a draw it is not a good hope for Chelsea they want 3 points to look safe for a while in the group if a draw is still very likely there is a chance of qualifying but still competing with other teams but the only way is to win with Milan again I think that's what Potter needs to improve Chelsea's quality again.

Chelsea started this season very badly, both in the English championship and in the Champions League, but they are slowly raising the level of their game and I think they will almost certainly pass the group, as first or second.
The new coach has obviously done a great job.
If Dinamo beats Salzburg in Zagreb, then I think that until the end the fight for the second place in the group will be between Dinamo and Milan, and their match in Zagreb will probably decide.
I still give Milan a small advantage.
At the beginning of the qualifiers, everyone expected this to be an easy group for Chelsea and Milan, but until the end of the competition, it will be uncertain and exciting.

Chelsea has truly lived up to its name. They excelled physically in every aspect of the field. In the second half, Milan could not even leave the field, let alone find a position. They got all the spinning balls. They came out right from the press. The team started to find themselves, thanks to Graham Potter, this is how this team should play. If Chilwell and R. James do not experience similar injuries again, they will become indispensable names of the team for many years. Both are very strong and offensive players. Tuchell felt the absence of the two of them very much. I wish they played this aggressively in the Premier League as well.

Napoli current form is surely one of the biggest shocking performance because as they sell their few top quality players there was talk they could be suffered badly but from the start of this season they are giving amazing performance in Serie A and Champions League with their win against Liverpool with the score of 4 - 0 is also telling all story how best they are in early stages of both competitions but here now it's time for them to keep momentum because they have history of chocking at the end of the season which is another concern for them in last season as well.

If they are able to keep playing like this surely we can expect good results from them in coming matches which is good for Italian soccer as well because in last few seasons they are suffering badly and have no positive results in European competitions, it's good time for doing their best.

I don't think we can deny that the performance of Napoli has been really shocking in the past couple of weeks. In addition, they usually perform well in the first half of the season. At the end of the season, however, they lose their way. This is something we have seen a lot of times over the years. As a matter of fact, the biggest problem with them is that they don't perform consistently in terms of their performance. As of now, they have not been inconsistent throughout this season. In my opinion, they have played quite well so far. Despite that, there is still a long way to go in this season. Honestly, I don't think they will be able to continue this type of performance for a long time to come.

But if they are able to consistently play like this I think we can expect a good outcome from them at the end of the season. However, as I mentioned earlier, they tend to lose their way toward the end of the season.

Intermilan is performing so well in the last match. Pressure is coming for barcelona.

If Barcelona didn't get enough points to enter the next round, Lewandowski will regret about his decision to leave Bayern Munich

I'm surprised why many clubs can perform better than in their own local league, just like Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Liverpool. I've said Bayern Munich are lack of pure striker, but his performance in Champions League seems they're not really need it.

There were rumors that he would go to Bayern Munich for a while, and I'm sure Haaland would have performed like this if he had gone to Bayern. Of course, the good thing for Haaland is that City midfielders are so good that they send the ball directly to his feet and Haaland has to stand on the right place and touch the ball. Haaland is a top player and I enjoy watching him.

It would be stupid for Haaland to move to Bayern Munich since he was on Dortmund for 2 years, which mean he already have experience playing on Bundesliga. If Haaland is taking another challenge, he should try to play on Serie A where it's full of good clubs.

Champion's League is completely different from the local leagues. Have you seen how Inter Milan's performance has been in the Seria A? They are number 7 according to the current standings with 5 wins and 4 losses out of 9 games. But they did manage to beat Barcelona that hasn't lost a single local league game so far.

You cannot play in the Champions League the same way you did in your home league since it is the league of champions. Due to the numerous benefits and recognition that come from the competition, every team takes it extremely seriously and strives to perform better. I must say that when Milan defeated Barcelona, I wasn't shocked. For us, this is the constant fun and nature of the champions league.

I agreed with you right now we can't talk about this who is going down and which team could be set for next round because both teams are going to face challenge of Bayern Munich which is surely not easy but here I am going to be favouring Barcelona because they can do better at home in next two matches first against Inter and then Bayern Munich which could be good for them with this now Inter is going to have two matches and both are on road against Barcelona and Bayern Munich, so their challenge is surely tough instead of Barcelona.

Many peoples are still having feeling about Barcelona is having more interest in La Liga instead of Champions League, but team like this can't ignore their chances for having double which is also possible even they are having some issues, but they can go through with full force in both competitions because they have enough man power for staying into both competitions and go through until end.

Exactly and that's why Chelsea has to rest 7 of their players that played in the last champion league game just so they can have them fresh for Tuesday champions league game against AC Milan. Graham Potter was willing to draw this week premier league game not minding because his focus is on the champions league and qualifying from the group stages which is looking possible now after the first leg win against AC Milan. Luckily his team change still deliver as they win 3:0 against Wolves in the premier league even after all the changes he made to the team.

The world cup fast coming is making the players over used in short timeframe. Some clubs are having to play three games in quick succession (sometimes with in one week). Barcelona having to play Europa league again this season would be very devastating, especially for Luwadusaksi but on the bright side, might just bring competition since Manchester united are in need of one especially Ronaldo.

Something that is doubtful for Barcelona in order to qualify for the next round phase, the opportunity exists but it seems that on the way Barcelona have to give all their abilities. in the second leg later, what is certain is that Inzaghi will not let his squad lose out just like that at Camp Nou. at least they will keep their position, a draw is enough for them to keep their position.

Again I say, no luck for Barcelona.
Their defeat of Inter at the San Siro, required Barcelona to win a landslide victory when they later played at their own home. what is certain, in the second leg later, the match will present a match with high tension.

Barcelona are in dire straits right now. Despite winning the first home match against Plzen, they lost their next two away matches against Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. They managed to win only one out of three matches. Now going to the next round is completely uncertain for Barcelona. Barcelona will need to win both home matches against Munich and Inter Milan if they are to qualify for the next round. If they do not win the next three matches, it is almost impossible for Barcelona to go to the knockout round. Despite having such a strong squad, Barcelona's poor performance is very disappointing.

I double doubt if they had that at heart if you ask me, I don't even expect Barcelona to have a difficult game today against CELTA Vigo honestly, They have to step up especially this October, the biggest test I've seen. They have to tackle down Celta, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and also Bayern Munich if they wish to continue playing the Champions League.

Xavi Hernandez has lost some players to Injury already, but he can still manage the squad and do better, not scared if they step down to the Champions League, that's the worst thing I'd wish for them.

It's not pretty nice comparing Ronaldo to Robert Lewandoski, Nah! You've got to let the GOAT be, all this results he's had is as a result of age I think.

Graham Potter doing things I don't expect so fast, this is the second game with clean sheets, Kepa seems to have closed down the face of Mendy real quick. Beautiful header from Kai!

Barca did poorly in the UCL, but they had a good performance in La Liga. I don't know if this is a tactic from Xavi, but it looks like Barca is overwhelmed to face a team that is in the same group as him.
if Barca wants to qualify for the next phase, I think Barca must turn things around from Barca's previous matches with Munich and Inter. Winning the match with these two teams will certainly be quite difficult for Barca. although they have a more solid team at the moment, Barca still has to work hard.

Graham Potter is able to change Chelsea's gameplay very quickly. Chelsea had a strong squad. However, their performances have been very poor since the start of this season. Chelsea dropped points in the first two matches of the Champions League. But their performance in the last match was very organized. Chelsea are stabilizing themselves very quickly. Graham Potter is doing a great job.

That's to show you that Chelsea weren't lacking players but the players were tired of playing for Thomas Tuchel and yet many fans were criticizing the owner for sacking him. If you watched Chelsea gameplay prior to the sack of Thomas Tuchel, you would had noticed how poorly the guys were playing. Nobody was interested in shooting at the goal post. All they do is pass the ball around until the opponent gets a break and score then you begin to see the players try to get and equalizer to draw the game at most. Thomas also had one attributes that disgust me which was playing players out of position.

This was one of the reasons players were becoming tired of his style of play. Sadly we have let go of some good players that won us the champions league due to Thomas Tuchel not having good game management. Potter is changing all that and the world shoudn't be surprised when we lift a silverware this season as that has always been the culture of the club, winning trophies.

The work of the current Chelsea coach (Graham Potter) has indeed been very good in several games this season and in the last three games for Chelsea it has clearly seen the good results, although Chelsea's victory yesterday in the Premier League was with a very weak team this season and it was not took me by surprise. Although Chelsea really needed the win to get the full points because Chelsea were already slightly behind their opponents at the start of this season or before Graham Potter came to Chelsea.

Barça have not yet met any strong opponents in La Liga, which is why they have such good results there. If in the Champions League Barca played 3 times with Victoria, then there would also be good results, but you can’t do this, so Barcelona had to play with Bayern and Inter and it received two defeats. I can't say that these two defeats were inevitable, but when assessing the strength of Barcelona, I pay more attention to these two games than to the games with weak teams in La Liga.

Inter next for barcelona in champions league and then bayern munich in the next champions league fixture.

a real tough fixture as they are in a hard rock group , they have to win it otherwise they are out of the champions league group in huge disappointment from the fans , i tend to agree with you though that barcelona in la liga had no real obstacle to take it as a parameter that they are successful this season , champions league is.

Nice sarcasm lol
It's difficult for Barcelona at the moment, regardless of how they have produced domestically and how the opponents they face are actually quite bad in my opinion for Barcelona.
Just one more time against Inter and then I will lose again so I will definitely say goodbye to them in the Champions League and a squad that is said to be capable enough to compete in the UCL might just be a figment.

Now it depends on how they do the game with Inter because against Bayern it was clear I had my doubts about them.
