UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[bering]

I understand why there is a huge gap among Manchester City and the other teams. Haaland is the biggest factor for Manchester City to be this much clear favourite. I'm a little surprised with Bayern Munich's being favoured more than PSG. But maybe it is related to the group stage performances. PSG didn't impress much as they couldn't beat Benfica and lost the lead to them. Real Madrid are just waiting behind these teams silently. We shouldn't disregard them easily for the championship. I'm even thinking about placing a bet on them to become the champions again. 

Bayern is one legend of champions league besides Real Madrid because of that they are being favored. They also have more experienced fight with top club for long time and and able to overcome it all, while PSG they are is look new comer with new composition even the squad have more than what they want, but still they are not much compete in high class. And, for sure when Bayern can beat them in 16 round without have problem, they will one of champion candidate other than Madrid and Man City.

we'll see how determined PSG can beat Munich. they always had the desire to win the Champions League. even with an amazing squad they always fail in the end. Munich is one of the strong candidates for the trophy hunt this season. but I will probably support Man City more for this season. they have played more consistently this season. although we all know the teams that qualify for the top 16 are strong teams. of course, any favorite team could have slipped with the dark horse team this season.

PSG can able to beat Bayern Munich several times previously so i think they also have good chances to do the same thing and if i am not mistaken first leg will playing at PSG home ground so they will utilized this match to gets the winning results because if PSG can able to do that their chances is more easy and indeed Manchester City and PSG these teams always be the favourite for every seasons because they were showed their consistency on group stages but they also seem always be failure to gets the trophy although their managers has spend a lot of money to buy players but unfortunately they were ended the seasons with dissapoint result but this season if Manchester City and PSG can beat their opponents and goes to quarterfinal i am sure their journey to get the trophy will be more easy

Indeed, winning the matches is not determined by experience, the team's performance for 90 minutes on the field have an important role. I agree with you. But, if from the history of Ancelotti's meeting with Liverpool in various competitions since becoming AC Milan coach, Ancelotti actually has the ability to bring his players to win matches. It's not 100%, but his knowledge of Liverpool's weak points could be one of the reasons why Madrid can win the game, but it's not an easy win for sure.

And coupled with the fact that Liverpool aren't in their good form for a while now is another bonus points for Real Madrid to actually win the game against Liverpool. Madrid is toping their league table and their performance has been pretty good , Too  with the help of Anceloti who has Champions League experience will help mess things up for the Liverpool side to actually get that victory to proceed to the next round of the compition.

After all, if we think about Liverpool so far this season, then it looks like Liverpool will be bad when playing against mediocre teams but will be good when playing against top teams. With these results, it seems that I will really be waiting for this match against Real Madrid, because with Liverpool's trend like that, Liverpool might be able to beat Real Madrid.
But indeed, if we consider the notes on paper then of course Real Madrid still has a better chance of winning than Liverpool.

But other than that, I will also wait if Klopp can really give the win because we know, Klopp and Liverpool have the ambition to take revenge. Until finally, they met again this season and this is also the third meeting against Real Madrid for Liverpool with Klopp.

In the first meeting Klopp was against Real Madrid and Liverpool were eliminated in the quarter-finals and at that time the coach of Real Madrid was Zidane, and then the two met in the final last season and Liverpool lost again.
So this season is the third season for Klopp against Real Madrid, plus Liverpool's situation is still not improving so of course this is a difficult mission for Klopp. But yes, I'm still sure that any result can still happen in this match, it's very interesting to look forward to.

[Frankolala]

Yes, I also feel that Madrid will most likely win this match. Ancelotti has experience in facing EPL teams in crucial UCL matches, this will be a good provision for Madrid. Then, Madrid can take advantage of Liverpool's inconsistency to cut their way in UCL this season's.

However, Ancelotti and Madrid also could not play freely. When they forget to maintain performance on all fronts, Liverpool can certainly take advantage of the slightest moment to score goals.

My prediction, Madrid will win the matches with a difference of 1 goal. Will see, how Klopp make Liverpool better in UCL to pay team mistake in EPL.

Real Madrid can take advantage of Liverpool's inconsistent conditions, the game schedule is still long and Liverpool still has the opportunity to improve things, although many doubt Liverpool including me.

Talking about the experience Real Madrid clearly has everything, especially now that it has a coach who has locked up four Champions League titles with two different clubs and from eight appearances in the Champions League era Real Madrid managed to come out as champions eight times, this is a good historical record and has not no other club can match him.

Liverpool might win Madrid if they see it as an opportunity to avenge last year's final match but if they fail to go extra mile to prepare for this victory, Real Madrid will win them again this year. Liverpool can not be judged by their performance in EPL because they know the value of UCL and plays well in other to qualify. Some clubs use the opportunity of UCL to rank up their qualification to the UCL game next season especially when they did not perform well in local leagues.

Real Madrid are very strong in Laliga and UCL this club has been keeping good records of UCL acting as if the cup is their birth right. If Real Madrid failed to qualify it means that Liverpool has removed the biggest obstacle they have this season to win the cup .

Bayern is one legend of champions league besides Real Madrid because of that they are being favored. They also have more experienced fight with top club for long time and and able to overcome it all, while PSG they are is look new comer with new composition even the squad have more than what they want, but still they are not much compete in high class. And, for sure when Bayern can beat them in 16 round without have problem, they will one of champion candidate other than Madrid and Man City.

we'll see how determined PSG can beat Munich. they always had the desire to win the Champions League. even with an amazing squad they always fail in the end. Munich is one of the strong candidates for the trophy hunt this season. but I will probably support Man City more for this season. they have played more consistently this season. although we all know the teams that qualify for the top 16 are strong teams. of course, any favorite team could have slipped with the dark horse team this season.

I understand that it will be quite difficult for PSG to beat Bayern, because even though Bayern did not have a great start, they still had a great UCL season so far, just not so great at bundesliga at first but they are good there now too.

This shows that Bayern is quite good, this is one of the two teams that ever won 6 cups in a single season along with Barcelona, so Bayern is not to be toyed with, they are still amazing, they lost Lewandowski which is of course a big hit, but they also got Mane so they are doing fine. PSG is good, they are better than good, they are great but they may end up with losing just like last year if they are not careful.

[kro55]

The first leg will be held at the Parc des Princes stadium which is the headquarters of PSG and this is a very crucial match for PSG against Bayern Munich. This match will be a stage for world-class players because Bayern Munich has a pretty good trend in the UCL this season because they are able to beat the big teams to qualify for the round of 16. I also didn't expect that Bayern Munich would face such a big obstacle in the Champions League this season because in the group phase Bayern were met with big teams and in the round of 16 they were reunited with big teams. this is a fake final maybe whoever wins in that match will be able to go further in the champions league competition this season.

This game was only possible because PSG failed in the group stage. If PSG took first place, then we would see a pair of Bayern - Benfica and everyone would react to this as "Benfica was good, but now it's over." PSG would have played Brugge and everyone would have treated this match the same way. But PSG failed and now we see in the 1/8 what we should have seen in the later stages of the tournament.

PSG's performance in the group stage was not bad. But Benfica's performance was better. And so PSG was second in the table. However, these are now past. PSG and Bayern Munich must now focus on their next match. And the team that wins the PSG vs Bayern Munich match, I think the team will go to the final. However, I just want to enjoy a competitive match. As both teams are very strong. So the match will definitely be competitive. And both of them have strong attacks. So I want to see several goals in this match.

[makishart]

Here the experience of the team and the coach in managing the season and fatigue counts a lot. Last year they managed masterfully, archiving La Liga and dedicating themselves exclusively to the Champions League. From the textbook.
honestly for me Real Madrid is the favorite, but they could also lose easily, being the favorite means nothing

Indeed, winning the matches is not determined by experience, the team's performance for 90 minutes on the field have an important role. I agree with you.

It's not 100%, but his knowledge of Liverpool's weak points could be one of the reasons why Madrid can win the game, but it's not an easy win for sure.

Real Madrid also have problems in their team, but Real Madrid's problems are not like Liverpool which since the start of the season has seen a decline in every way. The meeting record can indeed be a factor to predict how the outcome of the match will be, but it does not always happen depending on what form each team plays on the field during the match. For now, Real Madrid is still at the forefront, but we'll just have to wait and see what changes Liverpool make.

i didn't see any problem with its performance. the only problem is if madrid needs someone who can substitute benzema when he doesn't perform with the team. Real madrid has been trying to find a solution for that problem. the fact that if these days real madrid has been hunting some names that would become potential successor for benzema. the only problem faces by real was only about how can it get a potential stiker like benzema. there are so many strikers but only some are worth it. The striker from popular team has included in the list of real madrid.

I'm curious about Napoli's performance the most now. The group stage went very well for them. While I was thinking about Liverpool to finish as leader and Napoli - Ajax duo would fight for the second spot, Napoli just destroyed my prediction with a solid effort. It is obvious that they seem ready for the other favourites of the Champions League title also.

There will be a long break until last 16 round matches start. Napoli were fired up back in the group stage and they will need to keep this level despite this long break. Frankfurt are their first victim. Frankfurt surprisingly managed to reach next round by the last group matches. But they will most probably be desperate against Napoli. I expect a solid work by Napoli to threaten the other teams more. Maybe they aren't among the title contenders on paper but it is up to them to get in there.

there will be a long pause and much more that could change the situation. match predictions are subject to change when the competition is about to resume.
the strength of each team can change after the transfer market. Similarly, players can also get injured after playing for the national team.
but the round of 16 was interesting. some favorite teams will fight.
PSG VS Munich
Milan vs Tottenham
Dortmund vs Chelsea
Liverpool vs Madrid.
I hope Benfica and Napoli can surprise me for this round.

[visionE2]

Real Madrid can take advantage of Liverpool's inconsistent conditions, the game schedule is still long and Liverpool still has the opportunity to improve things, although many doubt Liverpool including me.

Last season when Liverpool was doing well, I still believe that Real Madrid can beat it, but this season Liverpool's performance is again inconsistent in the EPL standings so that it makes Liverpool out of the big four, but that performance can be a blunder (lose) for Real Madrid if you underestimate Liverpool.

At least after the World Cup we will know their situation will probably be a little different because this can certainly change the situation of the team, still the most important thing for me is they will do a lot of things in the transfer market later to prepare for the Champions League which will start a few months after that.
For me in the round of 16 there will be a lot of surprises that I think will pass but the fact is different this is just my guess, maybe Napoli are now in favor after they can win and be consistent in this competition but I want to see how they move this season.

Liverpool is way out of any top team to contend for the UCL alright. There level of poor performance is just too much across leagues. They got dragged to a penalty shootout against Derby County, lost 2 penalty shootout and were luckily saved by there goal keeper who saved 3 shoots. In the EPL, they managed it to win Spurs thanks to Mo. Salah but there level of performance is nothing to bring them to a UCL semi finals.
Manchester City perhaps, they've done there best to win when they need to and only lose after being top of there group with enough points to qualify them for the next round.
PSG, I can't really say much for them as, they always seem so good until the last minute. Perhaps they would get it right this time.
For Real Madrid, they've always been tactical as to how they come by the league and there games. Take all pressure in the first half and pressure in the second. This remains there strategy still and they've got sme squad that could guarantee a final.

Benzema was actually faking those injuries just to be fit for the world Cup. After the world Cup we might see him back fully. But its actually bad having a team like Madrid rely on only one player, although there should be individual brilliance but Madrid should just priorities a new striker to partner him and provide depth for the team.

Napoli is certainly a team to watch out for. They could take on Any top team in Europe. I see them going to Semis if they actually keep there form.

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich are the 5 favorite teams in this season's Champions League. But unfortunately 4 of these 5 teams really have to compete with each other to qualify for the next round.

I think Real Madrid, Manchester City and PSG will qualify for the next round even though it's never certain now. Liverpool are a strong team for Real Madrid, but we have proven we can be like the previous season. Bayern and PSG are the toughest matches, it must be difficult to get one of them in the next round. But I really hope Real Madrid can prove whatever I expect this season, they have to win and qualify.

We still have a lot of time to prepare as well as possible ahead of our meeting with Real Madrid. It may be true that currently Real Madrid is better than Liverpool, but with long preparations I believe that Liverpool will be able to take advantage of the time available to improve the team's performance. Moreover, this is the umpteenth time meeting with Real Madrid so Liverpool should have been able to anticipate what is the advantage of Real Madrid because in terms of the squad not much has changed from them.
Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint Germain will be another interesting match in the Champions League this season, Paris Saint Germain looks ready because its star players can now show their best game. But Bayern Munich is also a strong team who are favorites in the Champions League. It will not be easy to predict the match, but I am more inclined towards Bayern Munich to be the winner of the game for now.

You're right, instead of going straight to the game I'm thinking more about the preparation of both teams for the match. We still have plenty of time to know a lot about these two teams, so it would be wise to stay calm about this game. I believe Real Madrid are the favourites, but that's just an opinion that might be very different when we are so close to the game.

Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint Germain will be another interesting match in the Champions League this season, Paris Saint Germain looks ready because its star players can now show their best game. But Bayern Munich is also a strong team who are favorites in the Champions League. It will not be easy to predict the match, but I am more inclined towards Bayern Munich to be the winner of the game for now.

It must be very difficult to judge these two games, but as I said above, they have time to prepare the team and their strategy is better. I just hope that every player involved in this world cup can really return fit to their respective teams in January, that's more important now.

After home and away goals removed by UEFA I don't think any important about who will play first with home or away match, actually Bayern have impressive record at Champion League this season unbeaten not only home match but also on group stage success won all away match. Seems not any problem yet for Bayern Munich have away to Parc des Princes stadium for first leg on 16 round against with PSG. Bayern have faced experience on group stage beaten big team from Inter Milan until eliminated Barcelona from  Champion League and not faced difficulty to win from PSG.

No any impressive record get by PSG with home match, actually held draw by Benfica on group stage seems give opportunity for Bayern get 1 points or try to win for first leg.

I am a bit worried about the Real Madrid vs Liverpool match, as I see both teams equally. We will see a great match. Maybe because of the World Cup, many things can change between the two teams It remains to be seen how they will affect the team.

This match is a match that is difficult to predict. At the moment the team is roughly in balance, but since the game will not be played until 2023, a lot of things can still change for both teams. Kan is also present that Spain or England become world champions, which can also do a lot for the confidence and/or form of the team when the Champions League resumes. And we also don't know if both teams will bring reinforcements, although I have my doubts whether they can still play in the Champions League. I thought they were only eligible to play if they weren't active in the Champions League for their previous club.

[Maidak]

Liverpool are unlucky to match Real Madrid again after they have been beaten and eliminated twice by Real Madrid in the past two seasons they have been matched again this season at this early stage of the Champions League. This could be another humilating game or a revenge match for Liverpool against Real Madrid. One way or the other Liverpool will give in their best in this match to get a positive outcome.

I am pretty sure even UEFA the organizing body would not be happy with this fixture because one of these two superpowers will be eliminated so early in the competition (RO16 stage), they'd also not be happy with the other heavyweight clash between PSG and Bayern Munich, they'd love to see all these four teams in the QF stage at least, it makes the competition more interesting and competitive.

Having said that, it is what it is, and we can have only two of them in the QF stage. It is actually very difficult to predict which of these teams will make it through, but with the way Liverpool are performing i think it is going to be pretty much difficult for them to eliminate the defending champions, things might be entirely different after the WC and by the time we start the RO16 fixtures, but if it does remain the same i think Liverpool would be an easy opponent for Real Madrid, as for PSG v Bayern, that one is unpredictable for now imo.

As Liverpool is scheduled to face Real Madrid in the Champions League, I do not think they will be able to get far in the Champions League as they face a very tough opponent. As you said, it does not seem like they are going to be able to beat Real Madrid at the moment, especially with the way they are performing.

Moreover, it is actually supposed that the team that won the Champions League title last season is going to face the runners-up of the Champions League so early on in the tournament lol, which is quite bizarre. However, there is nothing that can be done at this point. It is not always possible to do things as people always want them to be done.

I understand why there is a huge gap among Manchester City and the other teams. Haaland is the biggest factor for Manchester City to be this much clear favourite.

PSG didn't impress much as they couldn't beat Benfica and lost the lead to them. Real Madrid are just waiting behind these teams silently. We shouldn't disregard them easily for the championship. I'm even thinking about placing a bet on them to become the champions again. 

Bayern is one legend of champions league besides Real Madrid because of that they are being favored. They also have more experienced fight with top club for long time and and able to overcome it all, while PSG they are is look new comer with new composition even the squad have more than what they want, but still they are not much compete in high class. And, for sure when Bayern can beat them in 16 round without have problem, they will one of champion candidate other than Madrid and Man City.

The presence of Erling Haaland in the Manchester City squad makes them appear more confident. Yes, with Haaland we can see what Manchester City can do this season. The position that they lacked last season has been filled with players who are hungry for goals. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are other teams who are very experienced in the Champions League, they are teams that have never missed the competition in this blue continent. But this season we lose Liverpool who are still in a bad situation, unlike last season they are one of the favorites to win the title.

Definitely the presence of Erling Haaland in Manchester city's line up gives them a boost over their opponents because his presence alone causes scare and frightens the opposition defense and mounts pressure on them to make mistakes. they finally got the kind of striker they have been searching for since Aguero. He has all the qualities and ticks so many boxes. He is strong, fast, good in the air and can score many goals for fun, they are indeed lucky to have secured such an asset and I see them going far and possibly reaching the finals of the champions league this season.
