UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Davian144]

Pep and his men didn't get difficult fixtures and with their good form this season they are expected to reach the finals because either of psg and Bayern will drop on the way and either of Liverpool or Madrid will also drop on the way. Before you will understand big teams will all be eliminated and manchester city will be at the finals

Predictably, at this time it is possible for Manchester City to reach the Champions League final, but of the four big teams you mentioned apart from Manchester City, they have only fallen for one of them. For example between Bayern Munich and PSG (one of them) and between Liverpool and Real Madrid (one of them).

This means that there are still two big teams that will qualify for the next round and if one of them meets Manchester City, everyone will see a very interesting match and that's where everyone will see the capabilities of Manchester City.

They are surely getting to the finals this season I have predicted along time coming that Manchester City and Pep Guardiola will get to the finals.

Since becoming a Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has never presented the Champions League trophy to the Etihad stadium. If you look at the depth of the players now it seems that it will be a strong candidate for the championship this season. Now Man City has one of the best strikers in the world, Erling Halaand, in whose regular league he (Halaand) almost always scores goals in every game, so that will be a successor for Man City in going through the UCL round this season.

PSG's front line is not in doubt because it is filled with players with big names known as the MNM trio (Mbappe, Neymar, Messi) with extraordinary abilities. If the Bayern Munich camp, their front line is not as great as PSG. I see the weak point of defense not in Bayern Munich, but in the PSG camp.

Their goal productivity in their respective leagues is not much different. PSG with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have scored 46 goals so far. FC Hollywood who only rely on Choupo-Moting who is assisted by Musiala is able to make 49 goals in the Bundesliga.

Since they will be competing in the UEFA Champion League, experience and mentality are far more favored for Bayern to qualify.

Compares all players and their performances, PSG and Bayern are very similar. PSG even have a little bit score on paper but in history, PSG are worse than Bayern in Champions League.

Bayern look to have a better defense system but they lost Neuer from an injury. PSG have their best players for defense but their defense system has never been good enough in Champions League.

I think PSG can do something to win Champions League in this season with great performance of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but their weak defense can be something be exploited by Bayern. PSG must show a stronger ability to defend their goalkeeper in order to win Champions League. First to beat Bayern and farther to big other strong clubs in Europe.

They are surely getting to the finals this season I have predicted along time coming that Manchester City and Pep Guardiola will get to the finals.
Another two clubs I'm keen to see how they go through will be both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germany as it will be one of the best top game to view. My opinions are for me alone and I am really seeing Bayern Munich going back home all because they cannot defeat Paris Saint Germany.

At least, Manchester City have opponents who are not too tough for them to overthrow in the round of 16 later. despite playing away at RB Leipzig in the first leg, it's not a big problem for Pep Guardiola's squad to overthrow their opponent later. I'm sure they will qualify for the next round and meet stronger opponents in the quarter-finals. after all, this is what keeps Pep Guardiola as City coach because he has a new project with Haaland to realize the club's dream of winning the Champions League trophy this season.

The PSG vs Bayern match, is a premature final match and whoever wins this battle will be one of the candidates who will advance to the final round. to be honest, I really like the two teams that will meet in the round of 16 later. Unfortunately, this fight should have been the final. IMO, if I have to compare them, PSG has a 60% chance of victory and Bayern has a 40% chance of victory.

but in fact, we will know the determination of the result when the Champions League has restarted.

Without belittling Bayern Munich, I also agree that PSG is expected to make it to the quarter-finals this season. I didn't expect Bayern Munich to be as strong in the group stages, but I expected it to change a lot in the round of 16 especially because PSG are the opponents. It's up to others how to expect Bayern Munich to beat PSG, but I'd rather expect Paris to go to the quarter-final.

I consider the current PSG trio to be one of the most dangerous forward trio. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in good form so far despite not having played together in a post-World Cup match. But anything can happen, but PSG must deserve to be in a good place this season.

[Getmon]

PSG vs Bayern and LFC vs Madrid will be the games to watch for sure, those are some high end games that everyone is wondering. I am sensing that PSG could be better than Bayern at this point, because Mbappe lost the world cup as well and he wants UCL in order to establish himself a bit with cups as much as with stats.

Too many people talked about being in "farmers league" basically so his stats will not save him anymore, he needs the cups to achieve something. And if we are looking at how LFC has been this year, Madrid should not have hard time beating them neither. That's what I am guessing will happen but there is no guaranteed of course and we have to wait and see.

Without a doubt. The match of PSG with Bayern will be watched by the entire world. Neymar and the two best forwards of the World Cup playing together. We sometimes thought PSG line-up is too good to other European clubs, but the gambling market does not have a lot of confidence. Bayern and PSG are nearly identical.

However, I anticipate PSG to prevail here. Messi wants more to establish his status as the best player of the world, while Mbappe and Neymar are motivated by their World Cup failures. Bayern, on the other hand, also wants to win and has more experience in Europe.

The matchup between Liverpool and Real is the second-best. Despite the fact that Liverpool is not performing at its best at the beginning of the year, I will not rule them out, particularly if they play at Anfield. It is gonna be a fun match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It's not right to make hasty decisions about Potter.  He may not have much experience, but I think he played successful matches in the teams he managed.  I think he can do better after getting to know the team and in an adaptation period for Chelsea.

Potter has a very heavy and big task this season in restoring the performance of the Chelsea team and yes it clearly takes a lot of time for Potter. But for this season Potter still has time left to improve every area that is still weak in the Chelsea team, even though it looks a little late for Chelsea to get up, but at least Chelsea can finish the season in a better ranking in their own local league and try to stay survive in the Champions League even though it will not reach the semi-finals.

The truth is that Chelsea is going through a very difficult time, maybe we could already be talking about a crisis, they are on the verge of going down a lot, I don't know, but at one point CR7 asked to be taken there, will this then be Karma on behalf of the team ? CR7 is a player who could have contributed a lot in his matches, but sometimes the best thing is what happens, I don't know how he will do it, but they have a hard and difficult job to get ahead, it is not easy, the euiqops are every time much better and the team that does badly here is very unlikely that things can go well for them, if we oppose to see, what they are doing is that the team is more in crisis if they start to calculate how they can promote more quickly, I will concentrate on the bass, and the bases are to win everything from now on.

Talking about the PSG vs Bayern Munich match, it is still difficult to predict, as Jody said Bayern Munich has a strong mentality and PSG has talented players in it, many of you must have assumed about each other's favorite teams, but now PSG has make a great team because Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are the ones who can save their team but I don't know what will happen next.

The round of the top 16 will be more interesting, I think those who qualify for this phase are the top teams that they have achieved so far, so it is far more likely that the Champions League will start later, we will get this fantastic match.

I also expect PSG and Bayern Munich to be the most interesting matches to look forward to for the round of 16. Apart from that, Real Madrid and Liverpool are no less exciting to look forward to. It's worth mentioning as a final, but unfortunately they had to be drawn too soon for the round of 16.

While I think PSG and Real Madrid will qualify for the quarter-finals, of course Bayern Munich and Liverpool are two teams that have ambition and seriousness in this competition every season. I want to see PSG and Madrid qualified in the quarter-finals, it's very possible in my opinion.

This might have been the final between these 2 teams. A huge challenge for PSG, which has only one goal in mind and that is to win the CL. Memorable remains the last game in the group, in which PSG managed to win its last game, but saw Benfica win the group with a very big victory. Then the world will look very different. It is an open draw, so the winner of this game could also play against Manchester City. Liverpool seem to be in really bad shape, which is why I think Real Madrid is the favorite in this game. AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspurs are also linked. Both teams will be happy with that. For AC Milan it has been a long time since they won the cup. But at that time the teams City and PSG were not that good.

Football is one of the most beautiful things in the world, when everyone thought that the teams that won or time would always maintain their hegemony, that is no longer the case, on the other hand, PSG and City are one of the most famous teams that they currently have, that is why the teams now also seek to have the most famous players, in the case of PSG they have 3 great stars, and City have one of the most emblematic players like Haaland, that is something that any team would like to have, that's why now the PL is so famous, they have very good players, on the other hand in this new transfer window they have a good opportunity to acquire good chips.

Interesting:

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has recalled his early days at Barcelona to illustrate the issues facing Graham Potter at Chelsea.

Chelsea lost to Guardiola’s City for the second time in less than seven days at the weekend as they clinched a Premier League and FA Cup double over Potter’s side.

Potter is under growing pressure at Stamford Bridge, with just eight wins from 18 games, since replacing Thomas Tuchel in September.

However, Guardiola issued a word of caution to Blues owner Todd Boehly over a potential departure for Potter, based on his experiences at Barcelona in 2008.

PSG has one of the best attacking lineups in Europe at the moment which is even more dangerous than City's attack. The problem of PSG is their defense, same issue Manchester City are facing this season. Manchester city's defense is also not solid this season and playing against PSG's attacking trio they will have to be at their best performance to hold down PSG when they attack so I am expecting a really tough game against in this fixture.

Pep Guardiola almost 5 years with Manchester City and always failed to give Champion League trophy, not only with Manchester City but also Pep Guardiola failed with Champion League trophy when three years becoming Bayern Munich manager. Current player composition, Manchester City have solid player and this season after arriving Erling Haaland I don't sure with Manchester City get Champion League tittle.

Depending what team face for Manchester City except have against with Real Madrid seems has potential can lead to final, but at early stage if can win against Leipzig on 16 round seems potential this season with first Champion League trophy.

[KTChampions]

City are Champions League favorites every year and every year they fail in their bid for the title. It is a pity that this year in the 1/8 finals they have an easy opponent (compared, for example, with a pair of Bayern - PSG) and we are unlikely to be able to assess the seriousness of their claims in these games. I hope in 1/4 they will come across Bayern or another serious team capable of beating them. It would be unfair for the tournament favorite to go to the final the easy way (like Liverpool did last year).

Fact, every season when Champion League started Manchester City become candidate or favorite to be the winner but finally they failed get trophy and can't lead until final stage. Last time great achievement from Manchester City journey in Champion League at season 2020/2021 when leading to final stage but failure after beating by Chelsea 1-0.

Last season, Manchester City are strong candidate with Champion League tittle, actually after winning first leg from Real Madrid at semifinal they have confidence on second leg, but Real Madrid comeback winning mentality make City have failed again with Champion League. Actually Manchester City manager's Pep Guardiola not have special performance in Champion League except trophy achievement with Barcelona, has failure with Bayern and almost several season can't bring Champion League trophy for City.

Yes, Guardiola in Bavaria was extremely unsuccessful. He took on a top team and ended up being beaten consecutively by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético in the Champions League over the course of three years. Pretty ironic when you consider that he came to Bayern from La Liga and that under other coaches (before Guardiola and after) Bayern consistently beat Barcelona. The fact that he won the Bundesliga is not worth mentioning - even I would have won it being the head coach of Bayern.

The problem of PSG is their defense, same issue Manchester City are facing this season. Manchester city's defense is also not solid this season and playing against PSG's attacking trio they will have to be at their best performance to hold down PSG when they attack so I am expecting a really tough game against in this fixture.

Every effort will be made by these two teams to clinch the much coveted Champions League trophy. But in fact their journey was not as smooth as that even though they have team strength that is above the average of other teams. Especially Paris Saint Germain, they have spent a lot of money for them to win the title in the Champions League, but for so many years they have tried until now it has not brought them what they want. To be honest, even this season, I still doubt them to win this season.

[Docnaster]

PSG have long been the most expensive and stars club, with the best players. But they are not in a position to win the Champions League. They last played in the 2020 final against Bayern and lost. Before that and after that, they had no serious success in the Champions League. Bayern have more experience, so they are favourites for me in these matches.

yes, Munich is still a strong team at the moment. no one doubts the quality of the Munich game. but the current situation I think is quite different. PSG with the best squad this season. PSG will never play in the Champions League. they have enough chances to beat Munich.

it will be interesting to see both teams in the quarter-finals or the final. unfortunately, the two teams had to meet in the last 16. Munich might be eliminated here. they had lost their game at the start of the season. now they are improving, but I will still bet on PSG.

PSG has the chances of beating Bayern Munich because they already have the best squad as far as champions league is concerned but that doesn't mean having the best squad can make them win the Champions league.  Their game with Bayern Munich will be so interesting to watch.

PSG squad as always been good in every season, but I think with the arrival of Messi and Neymar ,this year is a special season for them though I don't see them as a winner of the group stage yet, because Bayern Munich is the most formidable Champion league rival after Real Madrid. in the last five years champion league analysis, the winner of the title is determined by the eliminator of bayern Munich or real Madrid or the winners of this Eliminators. For that I see the match between PSG and Bayern Munich to be unpredictable.

it will indeed be difficult to predict the matches between Munich and PSG. PSG with the current squad is indeed the favorite to get to the final. but the opponent in the top 16 at the moment is Munich, it is not easy for them to overthrow with a good game like when they faced the Ligue 1 team.
this requires strategy and tactic coaches to be able to overthrow Munich. some analysts believe PSG's advantage is due to Munich losing their best goalkeeper through injury. but it may not affect Munich.

It's up to others how to expect Bayern Munich to beat PSG, but I'd rather expect Paris to go to the quarter-final.

I consider the current PSG trio to be one of the most dangerous forward trio. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in good form so far despite not having played together in a post-World Cup match. But anything can happen, but PSG must deserve to be in a good place this season.

I know the fact that some years back Paris Saint Germany came so close to winning the Champions League but lost the Champions League to Bayern Munich with a one to nil loss. I have that to recall already but the current trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are like nukes , you don't want to face such a brilliant trio after the impressive world Cup they all had I expect them.to get to the finals, yes they are knocking and sending bayern munich home. I am saying for the second time again.
Manchester City are still on my mind, Pep Guardiola will miss out on the Premier League but grab the Champions League by the balls he will not let go.

Since they will be competing in the UEFA Champion League, experience and mentality are far more favored for Bayern to qualify.

The defense of both teams doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment, but I tend to agree that PSG is still too difficult to get out of the pressure of big teams in its last few seasons in the Champions League. But I don't know, this season is expected to be different where PSG managed to answer those doubts by qualifying for the quarter-finals.

PSG has quite good strength in the midfield, it is comparable to the defense and the attackers. While PSG's weakness is that they lack stability in midfield, so that is the problem.

The only advantage that Paris Saint Germain has is that they are reinforced by players who have star titles, without meaning to belittle them I think that in terms of the game Bayern Munich is still better than Paris Sain Gemain, that is my current doubt about them . Indeed, at this time the performance shown by Bayern Munich has decreased slightly when compared to last season, even at the beginning of the season they had a little difficulty getting several negative results in their matches in the Bundesliga, but slowly they were able to get up and return to winning ways.

[Coyster]

Pep and his men didn't get difficult fixtures and with their good form this season they are expected to reach the finals because either of psg and Bayern will drop on the way and either of Liverpool or Madrid will also drop on the way. Before you will understand big teams will all be eliminated and manchester city will be at the finals

This sounds like a feasible theory, but in the CL it is quite difficult to 'brand' a team as being small; yeah, there are of course the bigger teams, with better quality players, bigger budgets, history, etc, these teams are usually amongst the favorites to win the trophy; but even the underdogs sometimes might spring up surprises, they might not go all the way to win the trophy, but they could upset some bigger teams along the way until they are eventually eliminated themselves.

Having said that, i second what you said, the draw somewhat favors City, both their own draw and that of other teams that can be considered contenders for the CL this season, but City can't take anything for granted, they have to put in their best at all times, the CL has proven to be that elusive title for them, and they can't keep their fans waiting for it much longer than this.

That's why pep was aiming for the UCL as the main target for city. City has been winning EPL so many times under him but city never won UCL. that proves that if there's a thing that has not yet achieved by chelsea.
City was never achieved the world club trophy too. Pep said that he wanna try to bring city to be a winner of UCL. This is the most difficult task to be achieved by pep.
As far as i know that even with the strong squad and it would not even able to take UCL. Remember when chelsea was beating city at the final of UCL. I think that's really disappointed for the all players of manchester city.

PSG may not have given France the Champions League trophy they wanted, and they have also consistently given up goals to Bayern Munich in their matches, but a lot has changed in the system since Messi joined. Players like Neymar and Mbappe are good players who were there before him, but Messi has done it before and still has the support to win it. I also believe that Messi is not the only player who is anticipating winning that championship, other players are as well especially now that he is back with the world cup to show his France fans and followers.

After winning the world cup trophy with the Argentina national team, Messi next target is to win the Champions League trophy with PSG. PSG has a good squad to win this championship. The front line they currently have can be a threat to Bayern Munich.
Bringing home the Champions League trophy to France has been PSG dream for a long time. After forming a team with quality players, PSG opportunities are very open. Bayern Munich must be careful with the squad that PSG currently has, especially since the attack line filled with Messi, Mbappe and Neymar is very dangerous when in the opponent's defense area.
