UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[arimamib]

Bayern Munich are always expected to go far in every season's CL tournament, they are a big club, and the expectations are more often than not set so high, PSG on the other hand are not so big a club in the CL just yet, they are still waiting for their elusive CL trophy and i can sense that their fans are growing frustrated as the title continues to elude them.

Having said that, PSG were knocked out in this very stage by Real Madrid last season, and it caused a bit of uproar between players and fans, and this season again they have been drawn with another big team, with the chances of qualifying firmly at 50/50. PSG have lethal goalscorers, but so do Bayern Munich, it is a somewhat even contest and very difficult to predict, both teams will score quite a lot of goals both home and away, but the winner will be decided by who can outscore the other.

The Champions League title has always eluded PSG, since forming its squad with world-class star players, PSG has not been able to win the most prestigious trophy in Europe. This time PSG will face Bayern Munich, in theory the squads of the two teams are almost equally strong. But mentally, Bayern Munich is superior to PSG.

After being defeated by Real Madrid last season, PSG will be reunited with a strong team capable of winning all matches in the group stage. PSG only hope in order to go further in the UCL must overcome the obstacles of Bayern Munich, PSG must be optimistic and can apply the form of the game as shown in Ligue 1. Bayern Munich can still be beaten as long as Neymar, Messi and Mbappe can do something to surprise Munich, only goals can make PSG continue to win while bringing them closer to the Trophy.

Bayern Munich can still be beaten as long as Neymar, Messi and Mbappe can do something to surprise Munich, only goals can make PSG continue to win while bringing them closer to the Trophy.

The Champions League title is something that is very difficult to predict, even though in one season we do have several superior teams. For example PSG, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool or Napoli, Real Madrid can always be seeded but no one can say for sure who will reach final and win. Even though PSG has the 3 best striker, they are also not guaranteed to advance to the final because Bayern Munich is also a strong team.

The same can be thought of all the other teams although we can really favorite some of them. In the end we just have to enjoy it because what looks good now is not necessarily winning the title. One thing is true, all teams have their own chances and success will largely depend on the performance of the players.

[Smack That Ace]

The biggest problem for Chelsea or any other team is the injured players at WC 2022.  In the continuation of this cup, we will watch a tournament that also determines the fate of the qualifying matches to be played.  Imagine that the most important player of a big team is injured for a long time.  In fact, the teams that seem to be favorites now may be eliminated after the tournament.  Borussia Dortmund or Chelsea can both eliminate each other.

The champions league round of 16 fixtures is tough and difficult to predict. Chelsea facing their difficult phase at the moment with back to back losses in the premier league and been kickout of the carabao cup by manchester city. It's pure frustration for the Graham Potter, he's an average coach whose duty and mentality have been to be rank his former team, Brighton from 10th to 15th on the table, they always failed to qualify for the champions league. Chelsea will go back to maintaining their best form after the world cup.

I believe Chelsea have committed a mistake, and they are going to have to pay for it right now. It would have been better for them to bring in a coach who was more qualified. But they made a choice. The facts are, there is no doubt that the choice that was made was not one that was suitable for the situation. At this point, I think Chelsea have no option but to back him up financially if he wants to be taken seriously. As a result, Chelsea have basically been downgraded.

As far as I am aware, Potter is managing a high-class team like Chelsea for the first time in his career. As a result, these things are supposed to happen in the future. Chelsea has two options at the moment as far as I am concerned. You should give him the financial support that he needs, as well as backing him up or bringing in a competent coach.

Personally I don't think the Dortmund team is strong. But their performance is completely erratic. They have several talented players in their squad. And Dortmund can beat any team if they perform well. On the other hand, the performance of their opponent Chelsea is not regular. If they can't bring in an experienced striker in the winter transfer window, their performance will not improve. The performance of their forward players is poor.

Dortmund might not be in good shape at the moment but if you have to compare I think they are a better team than this current Chelsea side that have been performing poorly in their recent games losing four games in a roll in all competitions. It will be really tough for Chelsea if they fail to strengthen weak and lacking positions like their attack in the January transfer far window I expect Chelsea to be active in January to revive their standing.

Dortmund and Chelsea have had bad luck in their respective leagues but when compared to the UCL for me it will be different even though they have their own weaknesses but obviously every team wants to improve their weak position while the transfer market is soon they will definitely prepare names to be recruited in the winter to strengthen their respective teams.
Back in the Champions League, Chelsea can overcome all of this, this is my prediction, they can be better than their domestic league, so I think in this match Chelsea is more superior for me.

Both of these teams have the same quality players, but Bayern is more superior in the match that will take place in February. Mbappe really hoped he could embrace the UCL trophy this season but he faced a big obstacle because they had to beat Bayern Munich before going to the next round. can lionel messi help psg win ucl title, it's worth the wait.

You're right, Duke.  Chelsea Now the team needs to be financially strong if they want to achieve success.  They clearly believe in Graham Potter's managerial skills.  They will have to strive not only with their coaching skills, but also to offer him a quality squad.  I hope Chelsea management realizes this.  They should analyze the deficiencies in the staff well and make transfers accordingly.

If we see Bayern Munich forward line seems this interesting to watched because they were quite different this season that after Lewandowski left their striker looks had equal quality and this proven from their goals amount that besides Sadio Mane there were some of strikers who collected more than 10 goals such as Leroy Sane or Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and this also good advantages to Bayern Munich because unlike PSG who only rely on their trio Mbappe, Neymar and Messi as goals machine but Bayern can playing with different of players on striker position so this makes Bayern strength will be more unpredictable so PSG should be aware to this statistics

One thing is sure and that is this is like a pre time final,if these two teams were in the final I think we would all enjoy this game because of the great players each team has.However I think that Bayern is slightly favored as I saw a couple of games of PSG and especially against Benfica in Benfica home they struggled a lot and barely managed to get a draw there.I am sure if Bayern was there they would have won against Benfica even in Benfica home and this for me is a good although not a 100% indicator that Bayern form is better than that of PSG right now.

That is the sad part of it all, there is always a chance that two big name clubs could face each other way before the finals, and that’s fine we are used to it and UCL always have these type of "early finals" called games, and this year it will be PSG again, the sad part for PSG fans is that they were involved in last year’s unlucky early finals matchup with Real Madrid too and lost, but to be fair real won the whole thing sot make sense.

I am guessing that PSG will probably win if nothing goes unexpected, but this is Bayern we are talking about, they could end up winning too, they are very good and they are good for 90 minutes and barely get tired, so anything could happen.

Just for this season alone Dortmund has not done really well in their local league but in the Champions League they have done averagely well and they have all it takes to face Chelsea by next year.
Both Dotmund and Chelsea have good chances in that draw, only because by next year things might get better or worse with any club depending on the outcome of the players that went to the World Cup . We should expect a totally new Dortmund or Chelsea by next year .

This team was so damn bad for now to keep believing with potter. Potter ball was actually BS. Lose streak have proven if what people hyped about him was not even true at all. Chelsea didn't even have a quality. all of players that played at the midfield and attacker have everage skill compared with players in another club like arsenal even newcastle has better squad than it. Average skill players in chelsea must not be over hyped. that will make them have big head. Making transfer will not work anymore if the team keep doing shit during any upcoming match.
There are so many thigns already changed since todd was coming but nothing happened with chelsea, the problem that happened in chelsea was always be the same like the previous season. Hard to create goals against another club.

Bayern munich is no longer in doubt about their ability in the Champions League in the past few seasons they have continued to be a team that puts a lot of pressure on other teams. In the draw for the last 16 round, Bayern Munich faced Psg, where this match was a place to prove the quality of the team in this season Champions League competition. Both of these teams have the same quality players, but Bayern is more superior in the match that will take place in February. Mbappe really hoped he could embrace the UCL trophy this season but he faced a big obstacle because they had to beat Bayern Munich before going to the next round. can lionel messi help psg win ucl title, it's worth the wait.

That game between PSG and Bayern could be a final match or a semifinal one. It is unfortunate to see it that early and it is damn hard to know which team will win and pass to the next stage!
Bayern is a very solid team and whenever they are fit they can humiliate every team they face regardless of their ability like the 8 goals vs Barcelona. Nevertheless they have weak moments where they play badly. PSG needs to win UCL even once, they have one of the most powerful line-up since years and it is like we win that title this season or never again!
I cannot decide which team to back, even the result of the first leg cannot be helpful imo.

Bayern Munich have quite a history when it comes to this competition and much is expected from them every season they compete in the Champions league so it is not something new. PSG desperately want this trophy as bad as they show, probably the first they will be winning in this competition and they have showed they have what it takes to also be champions on several occasions but lack that winning mentality and extra push to grab it but we shall see how well they have improved from the previous outing when they face Bayern Munich in February.

The Champions League is different from the domestic league, if I'm not mistaken Chelsea won the Champions League in 2020/21, it's even strange that they were not consistent at all in the Premier League, but in the Champions League they managed to get maximum results. Likewise with Dortmund or Chelsea this season, nothing is impossible, if they are able to take advantage of opportunities or at least are able to play consistently. Even though football is determined by the quality and readiness of the team in carrying out every match they play, trophies are the result of achievements from the series of preparations they have made.

I agree with you, the teams that is doing well now can change to experience poor performance later till the end of the tournament, which anything is possible to happen to the performance of the teams. But no matter what will happen to any team in this season, will not happen to Manchester city and Real Madrid because those two teams has talented players that are very ready to make a good performance through out the tournament. I think, Manchester city and Real Madrid will be the teams that will meet for final in this UEFA champion league competition, because they have demonstrated some signs that will make them to qualify for final.

both of them experienced a decline in performance in the domestic league. but for the champions league trophy of course both of them will prepare better.
dortmund vs Chelsea is hard to predict. but both of them were dropped from the top 4 of the domestic league. it's hard to see this, even Dortmund has difficulty competing with Freiburg and Leipzig. of course facing Chelsea will also be difficult for Dortmund. but the chance of winning, Dortmund is still big. we'll see which team is more prepared, the rest phase is also quite long. plenty of time to prepare before they fight.

[SatoPrincess]

One of them is Sadio Mané, the sharper Bayern München attack line, with the presence of Sadio Mané does not mean only Sadio Mané, but on the back line Bayern München has a young defender Matthijs de Ligt who was brought in last summer from Juventus, of course it will strengthen Bayern's defense. München, when hosting PSG, of course this will be a life and death battle for the two Clubs, according to my prediction there will be an extra time for the two clubs, because the strength of the two clubs is really difficult to predict, but I believe that there will be an extra time for this match...

If we see Bayern Munich forward line seems this interesting to watched because they were quite different this season that after Lewandowski left their striker looks had equal quality and this proven from their goals amount that besides Sadio Mane there were some of strikers who collected more than 10 goals such as Leroy Sane or Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and this also good advantages to Bayern Munich because unlike PSG who only rely on their trio Mbappe, Neymar and Messi as goals machine but Bayern can playing with different of players on striker position so this makes Bayern strength will be more unpredictable so PSG should be aware to this statistics

Both teams show signs of been favourites to be in the finals of this years Champions league competition, both teams are in fine form especially Bayern Munich who have dominated right from the group stages and have progressed to the next stage which is the round of 16. At this level you can only give your best to progress further and we shall see how well both teams can play and how far they can get this season. Talking about the finals, there are also other good teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid you shouldn't ignore and both teams also look dangerous at the moment and can go head to head with any team in the competition.

I think Dortmund and Chelsea are both strong teams. But the problem is that their performance is not consistent. They perform well against strong teams, but also lose against weak teams. And it is difficult to make predictions about the performance of irregular teams. Dortmund vs Chelsea match can have any result. Both teams have equal chances. So I will refrain from betting on this match.

At their domestic league indeed Dortmund and Chelsea has decline performance but sometimes this cannot be indicated as the reference to see the strength for both of teams because champion league is quite different than their domestic league especially knockout phase because all of the teams who qualified to round of 16 is strong teams so all of them cannot be underestimate

Dortmund vs Chelsea will be hard to predicted because during champion league this is their first meetings but if we see Chelsea history during meet Germany teams they had good results from it that from total 25 matches against Germany teams Chelsea can able to win 13 times and 9 wins which they gets from home ground matches so this indicated Chelsea had slightly chances to beat Dortmund but this is just my analysis and it can be missed depend on the situations for both of teams while playing

So I will refrain from betting on this match.

I also wouldn't bet on the match between Dortmund and Chelsea, although I personally have more confidence that Chelsea can win the match even if it takes place at home to Dortmund. Besides the match is still very long, both teams will clearly prepare their players and arrange the best strategy possible to be able to win the match in the round of 16. Because usually in the Champions League each team will be more focused and put all their efforts into winning the game.

I would say that these are equal teams, but there is still a lot of time before the match, and it is better to analyze it a few weeks before the start of the match. Many team leaders will go to the World Championships now and it will be a difficult month for them, after which they will need to recover, so this time everything will be different and it makes no sense to make long-term forecasts.
