UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[alpamar99]

Napoli are in a very good state now, even in their last game Ajax had to admit the advantage held by Napoli with a very landslide score. Napoli only needs one more win to be able to step into the knockout phase. Because with the addition of 3 points it is impossible for Ajax to catch up (if Napoli win in the second leg against Ajax). However if ajax wins the match then it will be hope for them. But I doubt that Ajax can win.

Napoli can already be said that they are actually in the playoffs, and this will most likely happen in the next match with Ajax. You see, they beat them away, and scored 6 goals against them, so the home game shouldn't be difficult for Napoli either. It may be that there will be some underestimation of the opponent and Ajax will play better, but I doubt that Napoli will allow Ajax to play even in a draw, Napoli need this victory to further focus on other tasks and most likely that they will be able to do it.

At the moment they are still not certain regardless of the points they currently get but there are still some things that can happen because we don't know even if they are strong at the moment but it is possible in the other 3 matches they will still be able to make the same thing even though the possibility is still high .
At least a draw still gives them a chance to qualify and now Ajax are their first opponents in the second meeting and in this case if they want to be safe, a draw is actually quite good but I don't think they will do that.

Some interesting games tomorrow in my opinion chelsea vs milan and benfica vs psg are high stake games all these four teams cant afford to lose points especially chelsea and milan they both have four points on the second and third position and if they lose points tomorrow they might complicate their situation especially if dinamo zagreb manage to win against salzburg.

I think it is still very difficult for Dinamo Zagreb to win against FC Salzburg, because FC Salzburg is a team that has never lost in Champions League group E, so it is unlikely that Dinamo Zagreb will win the match. But if it happens where Dinamo Zagreb is able to win the match with FC Salzburg, for me it is a very good surprise for Dinamo Zagreb who are still in last place in Group E.

Bad news for PSG fans because Messi is reported to be unable to play in the second match against Benfica tomorrow, he has a calf injury

PSG's front line is already dependent on messi, when facing reims (on ligue 1), it is clear that neymar and mbappe have not been compact and busy with their targets (to be the top scorer of ligue 1) respectively

PSG is at the top of Group H, but Benfica is not an easy team to beat

PSG should not depend on a player whatever his position is imo. They have all possibilities to replace an injured one. Mbappe and Neymar could cover Messi absence from tomorrow's game. They need to be fit and a good tactic from the coach will guarantee the 3 points.
This game will be played at the same time with Milan - Chelsea so I assume most people will take a look on the second match and wait for Chelsea to win?

Juventus are going to play a very critical game against Maccabi Haifa once again. They have no other option than winning here. Because PSG would be most likely to defeat Benfica in Parc des Princes. Therefore in case Juventus win at the same time then they will be only one point behind Benfica. This means that they will be more hopeful about qualifying from the group.

As there is still a game to be played between Juventus and Benfica in Portugal it will be another one Juventus will need to win. Because defeating PSG is a much bigger task so they had better focus on beating Benfica first somehow. As long as we see improvement they can show the real strength of Juventus no matter if it is a home or away game.

At this point i even think to bet against the odds .. i mean as salzburg unbeaten and nobody backing zagreb to win , it's a great time to bet against the odds , the price would be really high and i have the feeling that salzburg gonna lose this time.

It's a group with the most competitive one , each club has a chance to get qualified tho.

Bad news for PSG fans because Messi is reported to be unable to play in the second match against Benfica tomorrow, he has a calf injury

I have mixed feelings about Messi's injury and the reality that he will not feature in the second match against Benfica. Although I must confess that it is scary knowing that it is just a month to the World Cup and I wouldn't want any injuries to prevent him from playing, on the other hand if there is anything I have learned from studying Messi is that he always bounces back from injury in exceptional form.

Why you pity PSG because of the absence of Messi, I really think that with good structural adjustments psg will be able to win their match against Benfica. They have good team and great individual players who can run inside the box and get a brilliant goal. Their matter is no giving me thoughts.

i think even if PSG failed to win this match it won't be because Messi did not play, Benfica are playing well and they even avoided defeat against PSG last match even with Messi playing, i don't think i can trust PG to win this match because of Benfica's performance and not just because Messi will not play, they have Neymar and Mbappe.

My concern and pity goes to Liverpool of England who will likely go 10 matches without their hottest young offensive player called Luiz Diaz and this time around, Liverpool is not playing in their best form. It will really be difficult for the club.

Their next games is against Rangers though so it should be easy for them to get another 3 points and if they could win against Ajax then they would secured the playoff. Its not going to really differ that much even with Luiz Diaz on the team, they are really bad for the last few games and if you think having Luiz on the lineup would help then you are totally wrong about this

performance is much better, Juventus should have won. If Juventus can beat Maccabi Haifa for the second time, then the chances of Juventus getting

After Juventus' defeat by Milan, there was information that the club's management would not dismiss Massimiliano Allegri and would give him the opportunity to work with the team until the winter period and give him the opportunity to rectify the situation. But I sincerely cannot imagine the reaction of the team management if Juventus manages to draw with Maccabi or even lose this match. Nevertheless, the Champions League is not only prestigious, but also quite profitable for the participating teams and many top teams put their exit from the group into the playoffs in their budget and if this does not happen, then it is akin to a disaster. Therefore, both the players and the coach should be well aware of their responsibility and give their all in this match.

I think it might just be a precautionary. I mean the World Cup is near and no club would want to put their key players in line for games when he isn’t too fit. In his absence I don’t know how PSG will be able to win against Benfica. Messi has been one of PSG's most important players this season. They struggled against Reims at the weekend in Messi's absence and had to play out a goalless draw. I don’t know if I hope that his absence will not hamper their performance against Benfica.

That's not a big problem for the big team like PSG. there are so many players are also capable to become replacement for messi. I think that PSG is not relying with messi. Its team can even win any match even when messi has not joined in the club.
PSG has so many top players in the club. I think that's not true if front line of PSG rely on him.

Benfica is also strong team but i guess you shall not underestimate performance from messi just because he will not be played on that match.

I don't think Maccabi Haifa has any chance of winning the match against Juventus because they have been having a very poor run currently. They have lost four of their last five matches and the recent loss against the eight-placed Maccabi Bnei Raina in the Israeli Premier League was not funny. Historically, this match also favors Juventus because they have won all three Champions League games played against Maccabi Haifa. Juventus have to seize this opportunity and regain their lost grounds.

Juventus are going to play a very critical game against Maccabi Haifa once again. They have no other option than winning here. Because PSG would be most likely to defeat Benfica in Parc des Princes. Therefore in case Juventus win at the same time then they will be only one point behind Benfica. This means that they will be more hopeful about qualifying from the group.

There is no guarantee that PSG would defeat Benfica. The Champions League is the league of champions where underrating any club might be disastrous. Yes, PSG has one of the best-attacking teams in the champions league but the Benfica team is also at its best. PSG is without their playmaker Lionel Messi which would really affect PSG's midfield. Gonçalo Ramos would be a thorn in the flesh of PSG's shaky defense. This match is a potential draw game because the chances of both teams winning for me is 50/50

Being inexperienced in big tournaments like this one might be a problem for Graham Potter maybe. They couldn't beat Salzburg for example but it was his first Champions League game at the same time. Chelsea still have four more games to play here. Nothing has ended for them yet but on the other hand they are going to play against Milan two times in a row now. This is the most critical time period of the group stage for them. If they don't get at least four points from these games then their chance to move on can be much lower depending on the results of Dinamo Zagreb - Salzburg games.
Chelsea have actually made the transfer they need for solving their scoring issues. But let's see how good Aubameyang will be able to perform. If he doesn't perform like he was at Barcelona then they might still have serious issues.

Inexperience during champions league shouldn't be a problem because their opponents are not that much amazing aside from maybe Milan, so they should be second at worst no matter what. The fact that they are not shows that it is not just inexperience in UCL, but inexperience with a big club like this before.
Potter has been a manager for a while now, but he hasn't really managed a team at the size of Chelsea before, and definitely never been with a club that spent 200+ million in a single off-season. That type of size definitely requires a bit of experience, which you gain by doing it for the first time, because nobody grows knowing it, it just so happens that Potters first time will be with Chelsea.

Qualifying for the next round of the Champions League will not be too difficult for Chelsea if they are able to perform consistently well. Chelsea will still have the opportunity to play 4 matches. If they are consistent and stable they can easily qualify for the next round from second place in the table.
I'm not calling Potter a bad coach. But he is not experienced enough to manage a big team like Chelsea. And so I don't think he will be able to change the team's performance very quickly. But given enough time, he might be able to stabilize the team.

For me Chelsea has everything to qualify, I know there are those 4 games left, but for me they will win them, and I really admire the work of all the players and the technical director, and it is a great job that they have done and for me it will be one Of the surprise teams for the competition, some had no faith in them, but I really admire their ability to start and be about to qualify, the work of the technical director has been impeccable, raising a team from nothing and making their players understand each other and give their best is something that few achieve, I believe that the motivation that the players have has also had a great influence.Everyone hates Tuchel's work but for me it has been very good, the only thing is that it is no longer giving results and when that happens, it has to be replaced, but for me it did its part.

I personally didn't think Tuchel was a bad coach. He has tried his best to make the team strong. To strengthen the bonding between team players. But for some reason, he could not succeed. Players like Raheem Sterling and Emerick did not adapt well to the team. If Sterling had been able to play better, Chelsea's performance would have been stronger. Chelsea's main weakness this season is their defense. If the defenders had played well, they would have been a little higher on the points table. Looking forward to seeing what steps new pitcher Graham Potter takes to strengthen the team.

You described it very well, I think the same as you, for me Tuchel did everything he could, the weakness was always the defense, I don't know but I think that Raheem Sterling and Emerick for some reason played badly, they were not up to the task The team needed them, and the head that they cut off was Tuchel's, of course this is our thinking, perhaps the Chelsea managers do not see it that way, perhaps because of the collection of defeats they determined that whoever was doing everything wrong It was him, and in part yes, the responsibility falls on him, although we all know that it is not so, let's wait to see how he handles these situations when the players do not perform in Potter's case, perhaps he does have the character to let them know so your job is not in danger.

Benfica is also strong team but i guess you shall not underestimate performance from messi just because he will not be played on that match.

Yes, it's unfortunate about Messi, but that's football, fortunately Messi isn't that serious, and he won't miss the World Cup or he won't be in danger of the World Cup, I heard, I'm not sure if Dybala can miss the World Cup (I hope not), the danger that there is right now for emblematic players is that, both for Messi, CR7, Mbappé, among others, in the case of the PSG technical director, he let all of them know that he was going to be taking them out in the games, that they not get angry and that they do not think badly, in part it is to protect them from possible injuries that are unexpected, this is a means that they have to be able to protect themselves a little.

Well Juve I hope that Dyaballa is not so radically injured, who for me was the best player in Serie A, on the other hand Maccabi Haifa I do not think he is such a strong opponent or that he has been so strong in a short time, they must have a very defensive strategy and with strikers who make them explode every time a ball hits them, for me Maccabi Haifa will play it safe, defensively and against the counterattack, that's what I can see, on the other hand, between the PSG vs Benfica, I wouldn't trust Barcelona too much, they may be wrong, for me Benfica can give a surprise, it would also be nice if there was some kind of good surprise.

[Jatiluhung]

Some interesting games tomorrow in my opinion chelsea vs milan and benfica vs psg are high stake games all these four teams cant afford to lose points especially chelsea and milan they both have four points on the second and third position and if they lose points tomorrow they might complicate their situation especially if dinamo zagreb manage to win against salzburg.

This will indeed be an interesting match. because this time Milan will definitely not let Chelsea win. And Milan will definitely have to fight even harder. But even for Chelsea this match is important to collect points. so I think it's going to be a tough match. But I would prefer to bet on Chelsea. considering the current performance of chelsea continues to improve after being coached by Graham Potter. So I'm optimistic about Chelsea.

Today's game between AC Milan and Chelsea FC will be an easy game for Chelsea, despite the fact that AC Milan are playing in their home, the blues are going to win that match because they're beginning to show some signs of strength in their games, judging from their recent matches in the premier league, even their first wining against AC Milan will equally pose another pressure and fear on Milan to get 3 points from the London blues side.

Yes, Chelsea will definitely achieve 3 points from this match because many things has changed positively in the team that is giving their fans hope that the match will end up for the favour of Chelsea. If Chelsea coach can make use of the line up they used in the first leg to defeated AC Milan 3-0 to  play this second leg, I think it will be difficult for AC Milan to achieve a single goal from this match, because Chelsea defenders are capable for that. I don't think, AC Milan can use home advantage to draw this match 1-1 because Chelsea strikers are very ready to achieve more goals from this second leg to improve their points.

Milan was unable to do anything when a duel with Chelsea on matchday 3 at Stamford Bridge, Milan had to accept a crushing defeat with a score of 3-0. But Milan did not want to continue to be in a slump due to the defeat they got from Chelsea, Milan immediately got up by beating Juventus in Serie A.

Stefano Pioli will have to build his players confidence to get a win over Chelsea at the San Siro to catch up with Salzburg. The match against Chelsea was not easy for Milan, Stefano Pioli had to ignite the passion of the Milan players to prove to their supporters they were able to avenge the defeat at Stamford bridge. Milan must learn from the mistakes made at Stamford bridge in order to play better in front of their supporters.

How you can really sure? They're losing 3-0 just on one match doesn't mean they can't comeback, AC Milan player's mental are way better than Chelsea. Although in Serie A, AC Milan is still struggling but there's many good clubs there. They ever win against Lazio and Inter Milan, they lose against Napoli with one goal difference only. I think AC Milan will win the second leg, even though Chelsea may win by the aggregate since it's quite hard to score 4 goals in one match.
