UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jossque]

There were some very interesting encounters and results in Group D today. Marseille lost 2-1 at home with a last minute goal after leading at half time. At halftime they were leading the group, but after the match they finished last and said goodbye to Europe.
The same result was also valid in the Lisbon-Frankfurt match. Lisbon led 1-0 at half time but frankfurt scored 2 goals in the second half to win the match and have a chance to continue in the champions league.

Well, the four groups have already completed the group stage and I think there is something interesting for Liverpool, Porto (Atletico) and also Eintracht Frankfurt.

Liverpool are already confirmed to have qualified for the round of 16 with Napoli, but it looks like Liverpool are still trying to win the group. But still, a 2-0 win for Liverpool still couldn't bring Liverpool to become group winners.
Because in the end Liverpool were only able to equalize Napoli's points, but Liverpool still lost in goal productivity. But yes, at least Liverpool managed to take revenge by winning with clean sheets.
I just don't think Liverpool can play well in this match because the Premier League continues Liverpool will play away against Tottenham, this factor at least requires Liverpool to make a big rotation in this match but the fact is not so.

Then I was very impressed with the way Porto played, they remained optimistic about winning until they finally managed to win group B because previously Club Brugge were the team that was predicted to remain at the top in this group.
But with the victory that Porto managed to get then there was one team that was completely eliminated from the European tournament and that was Atletico. So that Bayer Leverkusen managed to hold Club Brugge to a draw, making Bayer Leverkusen take over third place from Atletico and Bayer Leverkusen will continue to play in the Europa League.

Next up is about Eintracht Frankfurt. Wow!
Who would have thought that Eintracht Frankfurt would be able to beat Sporting in this away match, because in the previous match when Eintracht Frankfurt played at home against Sporting, in fact Sporting could beat Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 3-0.
In fact, Sporting has a great opportunity to be able to maintain its position in second place in the standings. At least because Sporting is playing at home, Sporting has a big chance to win and the worst possibility is a draw, but indeed, basically Sporting only needs a draw to remain runner up. Also, even at half time Sporting had led 1-0, this advantage could at least allow Sporting to play well and be more comfortable in the second half.
But in the end Eintracht Frankfurt can score 2 goals in 10 minutes to be precise in the range of 62-72 minutes, with this result delivering Eintracht Frankfurt to be runners up in Group D, I really don't think Eintracht Frankfurt can do this. Great!

Liverpool is really beyond expectations. For some reason, they played really well in the UCL, until they finally won:
Liverpool - Napoli
2 - 0
In fact, they were able to add a goal at the last minute. This time, applause for the Liverpool game. Finally, Napoli bowed to another club at the end of the group phase. Congratulations to both teams for advancing to the next round.

Really a great achievement. Some were underestimating Liverpool as compare to Nepoli. But Liverpool really surprised.

Both teams played well and the game just changed its side in the last 5 minutes. Really interesting match.

And it the next Match Real Madrid is looking good and in a good form as compare to Cetlic. But here we can't underestimate Cetlic again.

Really big performance they had. They build well from the back and it helped pushed the attackers very well to attack.

Napoli should have scored a single goal, they had some big chance they couldn't send goal. They top the group anyway.

Liverpool despite been underestimated they have not been consistent but they always impress in game's as this, Klopp is still the one for them

All the teams in this group fought very hard to qualify but Tottenham and Frankfurt were fortunate to grab the tickets for the next stage. Tottenham's assistant coach was on duty because of Antonio Conte's suspension Cristian Stellini and the boys didn't disappoint. Although Marseille controlled the game but they failed to convert their chances. A very big congratulations to Eintracht Frankfurt for getting to the round of 16 on their first appearance in the Champions league. Goals from Kolo Muani and Daichi Kamada helped the debutants to clinch the ticket.

Liverpool really surprised me because Napoli is in top form currently. I predicted that Napoli would have a very comfortable win but Liverpool proved me wrong. Both teams had already qualified, hence they had nothing to lose if the match was won by any side but Napoli still maintained the number one spot because of goal difference.

This season has not been smooth for Xavi and Barcelona as their journeys had to be stopped by the mighty Bayern Munich and the strong Inter. Barcelona lost mentally to Bayern, and they also lost strategy against the Inter defence. It's definitely an unexpected season for all expectations on Barcelona. Xavi needs to make changes so that Barcelona can return to competing in Europe with the best quality. Now they need to prove it in the Europa League.

Barcelona has not generally played at their best this year. Despite investing in a few quality players, they are still having little luck. Is the coach at fault, are the players, or are there still a few players needed on the squad they need to add? With them now playing in the Europa League, I anticipate some adjustments to their game, especially following the World Cup break. Perhaps they'll come back stronger and play like the favourite Barcelona of old.

I think their performance is quite good, it can be seen from their achievements in La Liga
It's just that Barcelona isn't quite ready to face some of Europe's best clubs, we know those who play in the Champions League are the best of each league.
It still takes time to unite some of Barcelona's new players, it is too early to test the cohesiveness of the team especially the front line and the midfielder is filled with new players who need to adapt to create extraordinary combinations.

Liverpool ends Napoli winning streak in the champions league group. The game was a bit tough for the home team but they bounced back in the second half. Napoli failed to take their chances and this wasn't a good start for Luciano Spalleti. Hence, both teams qualify but Napoli wanted to make history as to be the team to qualify with winning all their fixtures in the group. They're still on top of the table with the same points with Liverpool but goal difference differs. Now, we would be looking up to the round of 16 where it will be more difficult for average team that manage to qualify their group stage.

I knew Liverpool would win, but with a different score.(Like 4-0 / 5-0)
They scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes, which is a great achievement.
Liverpool are truly an incredible team. I hope they will be champions this year.

Liverpool played well. even I actually think Liverpool will lose this match because in the previous match Napoli could beat Liverpool. but it turns out Liverpool have proven that they are a strong team. and a score of 2-0 is good enough. I hope Liverpool can continue to maintain their best performance in the next matches.

Honestly I was surprised by the way Liverpool bounced back from their latest setback by overcoming in-form Napoli in the Champions League. I never expected them to beat Napoli and keep a clean sheet against a Napoli side that have been pouring goals in all competitions this season. They were able to match Napoli on the same points but hey were unable to win the head-to-head record with them following their 4-1 defeat in their first game of the UCL.

The challenge of facing some of the top clubs in Europe is really tough. It's a celebration when they beat a small team like Viktoria Plzen, because there was no other team they could beat. After Barcelona's win, they will qualify for the Europa League as third place. A difficult league is over for Barcelona, but they still have work to do to find their rhythm.

[GiftedMAN]

I don't believe it, it's unbelievable. This is what happens... a real ko endgame. The team that loses is out, they wouldn't had to play the 5 games before. Frankfurt would be completely out and the last in the group. 45 minute left to play, I hope there will be more goals. If Marseille win, then Frankfurt must win to, they have no other chance.

That group D is a drama group, everyone has returned to where they were before the match started. The two matches are playing draw.
This means that Tottenham is back as the table leaders while Marseille is back as the bottom occupiers.
I expect to see a little more of drama before the end of 90 minutes.
It has been long I witnessed such a tight group.

Toughest group so far with all the teams fighting to see who will be going to the next stage. Right now the group has taken another shape with Frankfurt taking the lead from away and currently in the first position and Tottenham still settling for a draw and the team is in the second position now but I think more actions will still be seen because the teams in the group are full of surprises who knows if Frankfurt will later lose in the game and Tottenham ends up not getting the draw as we have seen happen in football. Until the full time the group D is still an open group.

The full has come and Tottenham surprisingly won the match against Marseille. While we were encouraging them to get a draw, they went ahead to win the match. This is like a revenge of the last match that Kane's last minute goal was disallowed by VAR. Today Tottenham repeated the goal at 90mins and 5 more minutes to get a win and remain the undisputed leaders of the group.

Congratulations to Sporting and Marseille too, even if they didn't qualify, they fought a very strong battle.

Surprisingly, Tottenham did the needful by getting a late goal to move back to the first position where their fans wanted them to be, I must say that Kane should be respected and for this solid revenge according to what you said and what happened in the late minute goal that was scored by Kane but unfortunately VAR disallowed it and today, Kane has produced a superb assist to Pierre Hojbjerg to salvage the last match situation and to remind the world that everything is possible in football, did you see the celebration? It reminds me of the Manchester United Champions League win against Chelsea in 2008.

Sporting and Marseille fought a good fight but both teams losing at the home ground to Frankfurt and Tottenham was a poor performance and it shows how inconsistent they are.

[bering]

Milan vs Salzburg and home team Milan had more comfortable condition to faced this match because they only needed draw result from Salzburg but Milan manager Stefano Pioli said he will aiming won result from this match because after lose from Torino last week he want to makes this match to bounce back but Salzburg is the team who cannot be easily to beat so i am doubt Milan will be the winner of this match and since group phase beginning Salzburg was never failed to scoring goals for each matches so today too possibly they will do the same thing and i am thinking to bet both teams to scores for this match instead of pick Milan win which is risky

For other match Madrid vs Celtic and actually this match result won't have any effect the position for both of teams because Madrid certainly already qualified and Celtic still finish at 4th on group standings but i will assume Madrid will attempts to get 3 points from this match because they want to qualified with perfect points so Madrid probably will going to win the match although Benzema will not play but Madrid is too strong for Celtic

Yes, Liverpool really demonstrated well to deserved the victory from the match because they know how to reduce leading team points. Liverpool reduced Manchester city points in the premier league competition, and they still reduced Napoli points in this UEFA champions league competition that really made people to believed that Liverpool can still get it right soon to recover from all their losses they had experienced in this season. I think, Napoli strikers try their possible best to ensure they achieve a goal from the match but Liverpool defenders made the match difficult for them not to embrace any goal through out the match.

[Woodie]

Bayern Munich are really playing some good football this year such that the recorded a perfect start at group stage with 18points from the 6games played, could this be their year the win another CL trophy ?

After this round of games it will be time to seperate men from the boys and cling on the so called favorites, this is the champions league you will be disappointed. But depending on how draws go, Bayern and City... maybe PSG could be contenders this time around

Napoli and Liverpool get 15, although Liverpool lost head to head with Napoli. I think it's an interesting competition.
But in the group stage, Bayern Munich got full points. From 6 matches, they are unbeaten. In group C are also the best clubs. But Bayern Munich was able to beat all.
Is this a sign that they will be in the finals later?

Liverpool ends Napoli winning streak in the champions league group. The game was a bit tough for the home team but they bounced back in the second half. Napoli failed to take their chances and this wasn't a good start for Luciano Spalleti. Hence, both teams qualify but Napoli wanted to make history as to be the team to qualify with winning all their fixtures in the group. They're still on top of the table with the same points with Liverpool but goal difference differs. Now, we would be looking up to the round of 16 where it will be more difficult for average team that manage to qualify their group stage.

Liverpool has been preventing the win streak by napoli. Liverpool has been beating napoli and both were qualified for the top 16 of champion league. It seems like that the performance from liverpool becomes even better when it was playing in the champion league rather than domestic league.
I don't know why but chelsea is also having the same performance as liverpool. These team may not feel better with the domestic league. Both should continue the trend to be able to go to the quarter last 8.
Im glad that domination by napoli is over since liverpool was winning against napoli. it has proven if napoli can still be beaten by another club as well. It doesn't mean the domation will be so long.

[Fara Chan]

I think, Napoli strikers try their possible best to ensure they achieve a goal from the match but Liverpool defenders made the match difficult for them not to embrace any goal through out the match.

A victory that did not produce any value for Liverpool, considering that the grub champions had been mandated by Napoli, while Liverpool had to settle for the runner-up position.
The match was quite interesting, there was buying and selling of attacks in this match, both clubs played well at least until normal time in the first half ended, in the 53rd minute Leo Ostigard managed to score a goal, but unfortunately it was disallowed because Leo Ostigard was caught in an offside position.
While Liverpool managed to open the scoring through Mohamed Salah in the 85th minute and Darwin Nunez doubled it in the extra minutes of the second half. One goal and one assist became the perfect capital for Darwin Nunez, to answer many people's criticism.

Sporting and Marseille fought a good fight but both teams losing at the home ground to Frankfurt and Tottenham was a poor performance and it shows how inconsistent they are.

I expected Marseille to have won that game after they took the lead. But they allow Tottenham to emerge from the break as a revitalized side and showed character to get back into the game. Tottenham did it the hard way, coming from a goal down on a night where every single team in the group at some point could have qualified for the second round. Marseille lack UCL experience, it’s been a while they played in this competition. They should have maintained the goal and either stay defensive after the break or deploy another tactics to kill the game.

[Coyster]

A victory that did not produce any value for Liverpool, considering that the grub champions had been mandated by Napoli, while Liverpool had to settle for the runner-up position.

Whilst the victory for Liverpool didn't ensure that they top the group as they still had to settle for second place, it was a really important win for their morale and confidence, they lost back to back games in the EPL, so a win was very important last night, it would be a morale boost for them as they prepare for their big game in the EPL against Spurs on Sunday, if they had failed to beat Napoli, their confidence would've been at rock bottom.

Having said that, Liverpool now have to wait for the RO16 draw to see if they would face a really big team, this season there are a couple of teams that aren't giant clubs that finished first postion in their respective groups, so Liverpool could still get an easy RO16 game despite finishing second in their group behind Napoli.

[visionE2]

I can't deny that Liverpool's performance against Napoli was quite good. But if we say that Liverpool's game this season is incredible, maybe this is a bit of an exaggeration. We know that Liverpool often misses opportunities and especially in the Premier League, their game is quite bad. Luckily, they didn't make the same mistake in the Champions League. Maybe they are more focused here. However, I'm not sure if Liverpool can be champions here.

yes agree with this, liverpool are really struggling to destroy the napoli defensive team. Amazing game! I really want to see Stefan play more in midfield. I think he's still very young, but able to step into the opposition defense and defend and help control the midfield.
but unfortunately this season Liverpool are only good in Europe, not good in the EPL. Last season Liverpool were good in Europe plus good in the EPL.
