UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Velvet78]

I wonder when we will be able to see some other team breaking Real Madrid's domination in the Champions League and winning even more titles than them later on. Real Madrid have won this title for 14 times so far. This is a record that is really hard to be broken. The closest team to them is Milan now which has 7 titles. Just look at this gap I mean.

Even if Manchester City - PSG duo finally get their first titles in the near future it will be a long road for them to capture this record. Real Madrid wouldn't weaken here easily as well because they are always keeping the squad strong and making the right choices for their manager position.

I think there is about zero chance that Ronaldo will play at Real Madrid again, even if only for half of the season. Although it would be super ironic if he helped defeat Liverpool for example - it would be a shame for Liverpool to suffer from a player who sort of left the Premier League. In general, I think the fact that Ronaldo trains at the Real Madrid base is only a consequence of his good relations with the former clubs where he became a legend. Well, we continue to wait for information about where he will be.

I think we may forget about old Real which plan was just to collect as many starts as they were able to buy. We all know it did not end well.
That's one argument. Another - Real the most probably would spend their money on someone (much) younger who would stay with them for longer. What would CR7 bring them (except maybe extra $ from tshirts and postcards)?

And someone mentioned Zidane - I do not think Ronaldo has the same skills for management and/or training... maybe they may give him bunch of teenagers from team C and see what he will manage to accomplish.

I also agree. Cristiano Ronaldo is not going to impress the Real Madrid authority with his hard work and training as far as I am concerned. It really worries me sometimes that what if Cristiano Ronaldo does not get a team? It will be a shame to see a great player ending his career like this.

No, I really wonder if he should have accepted the offer from the Saudi Arabia team Al Nassr.

I don’t see Real Madrid bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo. Probably Chelsea, Bayern Munich and right now Arsenal might look into this because Arsenal also needs a striker. But why does Newcastle United not bring in Cristiano Ronaldo? That would be something to see.

Liverpool are the favorites to beat Real Madrid, according to bookmakers. I see that differently. Last year in the final, Real Madrid actually won without any problems and if you look at the players that both teams have, then maybe Real Madrid has a better selection at the moment? The match PSG - Bayern Munich is not 50-50. the bookmakers think Bayern Munich is a lot better and has a better chance of going through to the next round. It is remarkable.

ya.ya.yo!

The match between PSG and Bayern Munich will be very competitive I am sure. Both teams have plenty of experienced players. However, Bayern Munich's weak point is that one of their players, Sadio Mane, will probably miss the match due to injury. On the other hand, Manuel Neuer, one of the best goalkeepers of the Bayern Munich club, will not be able to play.

If the two experienced players are absent during the PSG vs Bayern Munich match in the Champions League this season, maybe this is very beneficial for PSG because the two Bayern Munich mainstay players cannot make a contribution. But for now the two players still have time to recover from injury, because the PSG vs Bayern Munich match will take place in mid-February which means there is still a little time for both teams.

I don't see that because regardless of anything even though in terms of conditions last season Liverpool were very attacking but still during the last few matches, especially for their 2 Champions finals, Liverpool were always in a losing position so in this case I don't see them as favorites too with its current performance it's like chicks that have lost their mother because they are always confused when attacking which always fail because they are still constrained in terms of goal productivity.

I dont see it honesty,even if the bookies said that Liverpool are the slight favorites i think Real Madrid has a big chance winning at home and in the away match at Enfield. Real Madrid knows how to play in the champions league and has a huge experience in this kind of matches

You can even check it on some sites. Bookies put more odds for real madrid as bookies believe if liverpool will be winning the match. that makes me feel so confidence to pick real madrid over liverpool in the continuation of champion league in february.
he has said based on what already given by the bookmakers and i were also seeing it as well. I didn't know how bookies was picking liverpool as more favourite compared with real madrid.
It's always like that the bookmakers wanna create a trap. Real madrid was in so many advantages over liverpool. The performance from both were having very huge gap.

Reports have it that Ronaldo who left Qatar after his country's defeat in the quarter-finals stage was spotted training at Real Madrid. It's a good sign that the Portuguese attacker still has a great bond with his former club, as such may be seen playing in the champion league once again before the end of his career.  I think Ronaldo so much wishes to play in the champion league which is why he is trying to reunite with his former Spanish side. Lol😅 even at 37 the young man is not giving up on football.

I admire Cristiano Ronaldo a lot however I do not think that it would be wise to bring a soon-to-be 38 year old forward to any major club in Europe. Everyone who has watched him play from his younger years would definitely agree that his quality  of play is about 10% of what it used to be. We saw it during their World Cup games that he  can't run, he can hardly dribble past anyone. Either he goes to Saudi-Arabia or consider accepting a substantial pay cut and to be a benchwarmer that plays 20 - 30 minutes in some games just as like we saw in the Switzerland and Portugese match.

It won't make sense for a team like Real Madrid to bring in Ronaldo at this time, it will result to nothing. Ronaldo is a good player but the things he can easily do in some years back he finds it difficult to do them now. Ronaldo has made name and he still remains a football legend,  but right now I think he is not the best Real Madrid needs.

[rendravolt]

I have heard this news from various media, because after returning from Qatar he did not know where to go, whereas he has not joined any club after leaving Manchester United last month. The only one he considers home is Real Madrid, so that's why he asked permission from Florentino Perez to train at Valdebas (one of Real Madrid's training bases) so he can stay fit. CR7 is still ambitious for the champions league, maybe he wants to widen his record distance before he retires so he can't be chased by other players.

Even Fabrizio Romano made this known on his twitter account, I think there's a reason behind Ronaldo going to train at Real Madrid, it mightn't be because he has interest in returning but maybe to send a message to his potential new clubs of his willingness to still impact the game. He could have trained silently without anybody knowing but he wanted to be in the press and this was the best way to achieve that. The more he's been talked about in the media the more his value increases. And for the fact he's trading at his former clubs news outlets will definitely carry the stories as new speculation will be discussed.

Ronaldo's interest to play in the champions league has alot of reasons to do with Messi still dominating at PSG. If Messi would retire today, Ronaldo will do the same but for the fact that Messi could easily destroy his champions league record playing at PSG then Ronaldo is concerned and want to give more goal gap to avoid that happening.

Yes, Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed this, indeed the media now always reports what Ronaldo will do, even though it is only training at Real Madrid's headquarters but everyone has assumed many things, including if later Real Madrid will sign him, but it seems that it will not This might happen because Real Madrid already has good players and Ronaldo is on the bench if he really returns to Real Madrid.

It is true that there is no end to talking about these two GOATs. Messi and Ronaldo have had such a big impact in the history of football and the two of them have managed to break new records every season, but now indeed Messi is superior to Ronaldo in terms of hunting for goals or individual titles. With an age that is 2 years older than Messi, Ronaldo seems unlikely to be able to keep up with Messi in regular competition or the Champions League.

The club president will never be in approval of such
They have promising young players who are eager to represent the club
Ronaldo to Real Madrid will never happen again

Seems misunderstanding about Fabrizio Romano update Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid training center, haven't rumor and agreement deal with Real Madrid want to sign Ronaldo just have attention with training only after he has new team. Real Madrid have complicated player composition right now and Cristiano Ronaldo not at the top level, I think Carlo Ancelotti not try for signing Ronaldo.

Ronaldo has bigger ambition and seems not happy if can't get regular position at new team later, I don't with Real Madrid want speculative to sign Ronaldo due his over age and haven't consistency performance.

Cristiano Ronaldo only borrowed the training ground and he only trained alone to keep his performance improving when the league started to return. It's true that Real Madrid don't want to bring him back and Carlo Ancelotti as coach certainly doesn't want CR7 to return to the squad he leads, but all parties in Real Madrid certainly really appreciate his arrival. I think CR7 currently just needs to calm down before signing a new contract with his new club in the January transfer market, of course he still targets clubs that play in the champions league so he can still score goals.

[Maidak]

Neuer certainly will not playing and it is confirmed he will ended this season early but for Mane i think there is a chance to this player to recover considering first leg will be held on February so in the next 2 months maybe Mane will playing although there is no official statement regarding Mane current conditions but lets assume if these players cannot be played on the first leg against PSG and for Mane position it shouldn't be a big problem for Bayern because they have several players who can be replace his position on the team but looking for Neuer replacement is a bit hard for Bayern because so far Neuer always be playing for almost each matches in all competitions so lets see how Nagelsmann will overcomes this situation

Mane seems like he is gone just a month, adding some recovery issues and match shape etc etc, he will probably be ready 2 months later. I am not entirely sure if that's going to be certain, injuries and human body is not an exact science, some people recover from achilles in 6 months and start playing, some never recover and become terrible and retire, Mane doesn't have Achilles issue of course, but this example is known and if there are so many differences then we can't "exactly" know when Mane will be back, it's just a guess.

I think he will be ready to play in UCL, and doctors seems to think like that as well, but that is only if everything works well.

I have not seen any official statement from the Bayern Munich management and as a result, I am not sure whether Sadio Mané will be available for the match or not.

As his injury was quite bad, I am not sure if Bayern will be getting him for the match against PSG. But even if they don't get him they have really good alternatives for him.
Maybe they can play Thomas Müller as the striker and play Jamal Musiala right behind him and I guess Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry can fill the Winger positions.
Overall I am really excited about the thrilling match.

Real madrid just let him to train in madrid and it doesn't mean real madrid interested to give him another chance again. Real has a very good relationship with him caused by CR7 was a former of important player in madrid. that's why real madrid was giving a special place for him. The fact that if so many teams already abandoned him as he has no value to be offered in the professional football. The only chance for him to make sure if he will able to get into the club that may pay him less than his normal rate.
Ronaldo must think sometime he will be coming to the end of his career and he shall continue to be another role for the club just like a professional coach for the club.

Liverpool always have poor records from Real Madrid so sometimes i was wondering why the bookie always provide high odds for Madrid when these teams meet each other and it was happened several times before this season even on the latest final also the bookie placed Liverpool as the favourite more than Madrid however Liverpool is not in the good shape to faced this match and injured strom has been resumes even they have to losing Luis Diaz for next several months so this is bad news for Liverpoool and it would be a good choice if you pick Madrid as your betting purposes because they have good chances to win the match and probably will qualified to quarterfinal

It's better if you are reading the news again and real madrid just let ronaldo to did private training on its training center. WTF was wrong with you? Perez already confirmed ronaldo would not be going to the real madrid as perez already rejected ronaldo's proposal but giving a special permission for its former of player to train on its training center was good enough. Ronaldo has ever given some trophies to the real madrid and is that something wrong with you?
I advice you to read the news again before try to commenting about that.

Even if Sadio Mane has to be absent in the round of 16 match later, Nagelmann still has many options to rotate every player available. after all, Kingsley Coman has proven he deserves to be in Sadio Mane's place. the absence of Sadio Mane and Manuel Neuer will certainly be a bit of a problem for Bayern when they face PSG later, Bayern's sharpness and last line of defense will certainly be reduced due to the absence of these two people. Of course, no one is happy about the situation. The reason is, PSG is one of the candidates that is predicted to shine in the Champions League. even so, I'm pretty sure that Nagelmanns already has a way to prepare his troops later when they face PSG later.

On the other hand, I don't believe that the absence of Sadio Mane and Neuer will have any impact on PSG.  the reason, even though Sadio Mane was not injured. PSG, very ready to face Bayern Munich later. for sure, we will look forward to this match as soon as all the leagues are back in rolling.

Liverpool lost Mane to Bayern Munich,and ever since then,they've being like a Shadow of themselves in the premier league.They have lost the strength in attack that they used to have when Mane is on the field.They haven't being doing well for sometimes now and if they should meet a team like Real Madrid that is much inform,they will win them.They can't be favourite to win in that encounter.Real Madrid are much more better than them at the moment,and except there should be injuries to Madrid's best players,that Liverpool can win them,if not,they won't even see a draw.
Nevertheless,the encounter will be very interesting,and I can't wait for champions league to return after the world cup finals tomorrow.

Real Madrid has a formula every time they face Liverpool, and they showed that in their previous 2 meetings. I won't be surprised when Liverpool also have many chances to beat Real Madrid, but I'm the same as you that Real Madrid has a bigger chance than Liverpool in their game this time. Not without reason, and I think we will realize the reason why Real Madrid is the favourite in this match.

[Captain Corporate]

I guess bookmakers knows something we don't? Is it just purely made out of "most people bet on Liverpool so that is why they have a lower odd" type of thing, or is there like a personal opinion involved as well. I know that a bit of the odds are decided based on what people bet, if you bet heavily on just one side that means odds of that will be like 1.40 or even lower, seen even no bets allowed on a teams win because it was too obvious. However, I am not entirely sure if people would bet on Liverpool who is 6th in premier league over Real Madrid, last winner of UCL, that doesn't really seem reasonable.
