UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[armanda90]

Half time

• Inter Milan 0 vs 0 FC Porto
• RB Leipzig 0 vs 1 Manchester City

Seems boring match this time about two matches result awhile on first time because only Manchester City scored one goal, difference with last night where have excited match between Liverpool vs Real Madrid have four goals in first half with score 2-2. FC Porto and RB Leipzig looks try with playing defensive and make attacking when have opportunity, lest waiting with second half for both matches will any goals added although I am not excited for watching on second half.

Manchester City led by 1 goal after scoring from a passing mistake made at the back of RB Leipzig. Manchester City took control of the game by continuing to press in the half. With this goal, it should have made RB Leipzig bolder to attack, because if they continue to hold back in deep defense, it will be more difficult for them to equalize by relying solely on counterattacks. But with a risk because by attacking definitely a gap in the defense line will open.

It's half-time and the game is still 0-1 in favor of Manchester City. Leipzig is showing no sign of equalizing this goal because they just had one goal on target and they don't have a any control over the game. Manchester City are playing as if they are in Etihad, having 74% ball possession and have 7 shots and 2 on target. I expect Liepzig coach Marco Rose to come out with a winning strategy in the second half to atleast get a draw from this match because they might not stand any chance of winning the away match in England. They should use the counter attack but much attention should also be placed on the defense because Manchester City has a very dangerous attack.

I have heard that Guardiola made an interesting statement. He said that people might still find him unsuccessful even if Manchester City make it to the Champions League title this season. I don't agree with this opinion to tell the truth. Because right now the missing piece of the puzzle is the Champions League title for Manchester City. The championships in the English Premier League must have already made the fans very happy. Even if they fail in winning that title again but winning the Champions League title only should be enough to make the fans happy.

Leipzig isn't a big obstacle and they would surely get past this easily. But they need to be better in big matchups from now on. If we see another Real Madrid matchup it would be pretty interesting.

[BIT-BENDER]

Every English team is having it very hard the knockout round of the UEFA champions league. All three of Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all lost their matches and Liverpool lost theirs in a very embarrassing fashion.

Manchester city is currently salvaging the day for English team as they are up by one goal in their match and hopefully they can come out with a victory.

Turns out I wasn't the only one feeling bored with both matches today. looks like you feel the same way. the game tempo of both matches today was really slow. not many high-aggressive attacks occur. different from yesterday's match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool. even the Napoli vs Frankfurt match was a little interesting.

but let's see in the second half that just started. maybe there will be changes in the second half. but as long as the team I support wins then it doesn't matter.

Real Madrid is indeed able to show extraordinary mentality. Ancelotti's team is one of the teams that often wins comebacks after previously falling behind in the Champions League match. So with a victory with a fairly landslide score, it is very likely that Madird has locked a ticket to the quarter-finals. Then for Liverpool, their era can be said to be over.

Madrid were extraordinary no doubt but Liverpool were awful. The two goals they scored just happened. The started the game well and all of a sudden they fell apart. Immediately Madrid scored I knew they would win because they kept pressing Liverpool. Liverpool were just awful especially after Madrid equalized. Madrid would still win the second leg in Spain.
Klopp should just leave Liverpool. That team needs something different. There is nothing more Klopp can do right now for that team.

That's because Manchester City have not found a worthy opponent so just wait for when they face a stronger team like PSG, Madrid or Napoli
From season to season Manchester City has always been able to reach the semi-finals or even  final unfortunately it always ends in defeat
Do you think Manchester City have a bigger chance this season especially after the arrival of Haaland?

[BRINIRHA]

RB leipzig seems to implement a new strategy for the second half. they became more aggressive in building attacks. and this thinking is quite effective. and the match got very interesting in the second half. I hope Man City will also increase their aggressiveness and return to building a pretty good attack like in the first half. RB Leipzig was several times able to build attacks that were quite dangerous to Man City's goal.

I think that was also a great comeback from Real Madrid. But it’s Real Madrid! That’s what they do. Despite being down by two goals just in the first half, they didn’t relent and went ahead to win the game comfortably. There’s the  distinction between the domestic league and the champions league.
Liverpool’s flame was quickly extinguished. Personally, I don’t see Liverpool winning the game in the second leg of the game. Liverpool could hold Real Madrid to a draw. And I don’t think a lot of goals would be scored like in the first leg.

Liverpool made good use of the space for Nunez's first goal, and they also capitalized on Thibaut Courtois mistake when Salah scored the second. But after that, Vinicius appeared spectacular and restored the team's enthusiasm and confidence before the first half ended. Uniquely, Vinicius and Salah both took advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper's mistakes to score goals.

Second half disastrous for Liverpool, 3 extra goals at Anfield have ravaged them so quickly without giving them much chance in the second leg. A score of 2-5 is astonishing, it's bad to hope to come back in the second leg. However, Liverpool still have a chance for something good in the second leg. No one should underestimate them.

I gotta sayy the game was like an emotional rollercoaster, man. Courtois and Nunez slipped up, which was a great start, and then Sallah scored, givin us some breathin room. But let me tell ya, Vinicius was a pain in the but, and Real Madrid's team performance was legit impressive. The second half was straight-up trash, tho, with three goals conceded in quick succession. The outlook for the second leg aint lookin tooo hot, especially given Liverpool's currant form. I mean, mathmaticaly speakin, a comeback's still possible, but let's be real, it's a long shot. That being said, ya can never underestimate Liverpool's ability to pull off a miracle. But with their current struggles and lack of form, it's tuff to imagine them makin a comeback of that scale. Oh, and did ya catch how the mistakes from both keepers were due to the new style of playin from the bak? Yeah, that's the kind of stuff we'll probably see more of in the future. Crazy times we're livin' in, my dude.

You are right very boring match,the match was making me to sleep while I was watching it because it is not as interesting as yesterday's match. Man city is taking dominance of the game and has more advantage of winning the match. At the first half Leipzig was playing defensive game but after Man city score, Leipzig had to come out to play the game. It's second half and I think Man city need to score more goals or else Leipzig might equalise the game. Benjamin Erics has come in and Leipzig is not scared anymore of Man city score taking the ball confidently to city's post. The game is now getting tougher,the game has changed and I have woken up with all my eyes open.

Real Madrid had a big win last night, I can certainly give them the title of Champions league giants with these performance and other outstanding performances in the recent years, though Liverpool started well but were very poor defensively to concede 5 goals and throwing away a 2 goal lead. I’m disappointed at Liverpool’s performance, they had a good game in the English premier league, I thought they would bring that energy to the champions league. Now it is even more difficult to win after the second leg with aggregate.

This is the main difference between league and champions league games. Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League cannot be compared to that of La Liga games; they are far superior in the Champions League. I expected them to play masterful football like an experienced team, and they delivered. Liverpool had chances in this first leg but let them slip away; I don't see them moving ahead the round of 16 easily again. But this is the Champions League, so anything can happen at any time.

With what Manchester City has shown so far, I don't see Leipzig tying the game; even if they do, Manchester City will score more goals to win today. Manchester City is playing masterful football, just as they do in the Premier League. I'm putting all of my hopes in Manchester City, and I'm confident they won't disappoint. They will certainly win the match regardless of how it progresses.

I couldn’t agree more, when it comes to the UEFA champions league tournament Real Madrid are stone cold. They seem to have mastered the art of competing in this tournament and they have the right mentality playing in the Champions league, if not tell me how do you comeback from two goals down to finish the game with 3 goals lead. I’m a EPL fan, I wish more English teams would be able to compete more in the UCL, right now there is only Manchester City representing the league.

RB leipzig seems to implement a new strategy for the second half. they became more aggressive in building attacks. and this thinking is quite effective. and the match got very interesting in the second half. I hope Man City will also increase their aggressiveness and return to building a pretty good attack like in the first half. RB Leipzig was several times able to build attacks that were quite dangerous to Man City's goal.

So far the second half has not stood out, I mean Leipzig is playing well and is still able to provide a solid defense, maybe their front line is not too sharp, but the back line can still block Manchester City attacks. Manchester City played without De Bruyne so their line of attack was not too aggressive. More than 15 minutes into the second half, the attack activity built by Leipzig trying to penetrate Manchester City's back defense continued. Until finally they succeeded and evened the score. Man City looks to have decreased in terms of attack intensity.

And finally Leipzig managed to score one goal and equalize the score Leipzig didn't give up they did whatever they could
A draw is indeed not safe for Leipzig, they can be destroyed in the second match let's wait and see the final score who will be luckier.

[Rruchi man]

• Inter Milan 0 vs 0 FC Porto

Porto now playing with ten men as Otavio has been sent off after picking up the second yellow card. Inter Milan's attacking threat increased with Lukaku coming off the bench for Dzeko, and now with the advantage of having an extra man on the field, the game is within the reach of them winning it, while Porto will be on their toes with the time left to play hoping that this game can end in draw at least after just conceding now.

Porto had a very good chance to score but the keeper for Inter Milan Onana was the difference, his reaction was very good and was able to make two consecutive saves to keep the ball out.

Lukaku scores finally for Inter Milan after Martinez could not connect with the ball he played in earlier on for him. An important goal for Inter Milan to give them the advantage.

Game is now 1-0 in favour of Milan.

Just like stated in the premier league prediction thread earlier,  this match may be very difficult. Manchester City is to win and with the present goals score and the play time or is quite evident that this match may end in a draw with 1:1 goals.

-Manchester city failed to defend the goal even though there we were the first to score the first goal in the match, but since Leipzig make the equalization goal, there have locked their defence there by making it impossible for Manchester city to make any further attempts.

Inter just scored damn, I hate seeing them winning.

Another bad result for Guardiola is on the way... Incredible how the 1Bilion worth team keeps failing.

[Prince Malik]

What a game between Manchester city and liepzig, I'm really enjoying it because both teams played very well and crrated many goal attempts, man city dominated the first half but liepzig started the second half with high pressure on city defence and was able to score the equalizer

[Velvet78]

Lukaku has been really effective in the last minutes of the game. He has had three big opportunities in the meantime and finally one of them ended up with a goal. I assume Inter would finish the game by this 1-0 score against a Porto playing with 10 players. The red card was a big problem for Porto otherwise they really seemed like they could get a draw here.

It is important for Lukaku to be the savior in this important game. This can help him find more chances in the starting eleven.

The match between RB Leipzig and Manchester City is over now and it ended with a draw with one goal each. In the first half Manchester City was the totally dominating team and it was totally deserved that they were 1-0 up after the first 45 minutes back then a 2-0 for ManCity seemed way more likely then a 1-1 by Leipzig. It seems though as if the coach of Leipzig has found the right words during the half time break because in the second half RB Leipzig really was the better team and they a few good chances to score. So overall i would say the 1-1 is an absolutely fair result for this game.
So Leipzig still has realistic chances to advance into the next round but ManCity still remains the big favorite for that of course.
