UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[baeva]

I already see an easy victory for Manchester City against Leipzig. The first leg shouldn't be misleading for anyone. It was just an unnecessary attempt by Manchester City to secure a 1-0 advantage.

Teams like Manchester City just can't play like this. I mean especially against smaller teams you need to keep being dominant and having full control. Otherwise there is always a chance for seeing a surprising goal depending on the attacking power of the opponent. Leipzig were one of the good attacking teams and they benefited from the chance really nicely. But I'm afraid this is the end of the road for them. Manchester City can easily defeat them by at least two goals in Etihad as long as they keep using their usual game plan during the whole match.

Manchester City's attacking prowess is undoubtedly clinical enough to send a strong fear to any opponent both in the domestic league or in the Champions League. But that shouldn't be a reason to think that their match against RB Leipzig will a walk over for them because the German side didn't reach this stage of the campaign by luck. Leipzig knows how to humble bigger teams in the Champions League and if Manchester City don't approach their second leg game with tactical caution, we might experience another RB Leipzig shocker.

Different levels of teams are apparently not important for the Champions League in most cases, in principle it should be.  In the last match the English lacked persistence, they scored first and it was felt that they relaxed, however, paid for it with a goal in their own goal. I think they will approach the second match responsibly, because they have everything to win.

This is indeed a little ironic when you see PSG's failure to beat Bayern in the round of 16 match yesterday. Maybe many people predict that PSG has a higher chance compared to Bayern because it is seen from various points of view, both front, center and back. especially on the front lines, they really have very strong and favorite strikers like Messi, Mbapee, and also Neymar. But indeed, superstars do not guarantee that the club is solid and able to get strong tactics to win. And here Bayern really believes in extraordinary effectiveness and accuracy, so that they were able to beat the big team PSG. Bayern are sometimes beyond predictions and they are very strong, especially in the midfield and back.

It was ironic but I am not surprised at all. 
Everyone knows that PSG never had a good history in UCL although they have many big players. PSG always failed to reach the final round in every season, they seem to have bad luck in UCL. We realize that PSG has a better-attacking line, they have Messi and Mbappe. They made many opportunities to score. But it is not enough, Bayern Munich played more solidly. They also can play more effectively and won't waste chances to score goals.

The English teams are inconsistent in the Champions League and the Premier League I think it is a problem with the amount of games with the world cup interfering with the season and the Premier League has a lot of games in the winter and I think they cannot recover in time for the Champions League games. I think the games are slowing down and they will be better in the 2nd leg but I do not think they will improve much more because it is so soon after the 1st leg.

Liverpool can try to do whatever they want to make a comeback but I see no way for that. A win by 7-0 against Manchester United can't change anything all of a sudden.

Liverpool are still an unreliable and inconsistent team to me. They need to win so many games straight to prove themselves about getting better for real. Because this is what a team like Liverpool should do normally. Even if they make progress it is still too difficult for them to turn things around in this matchup. 5-2 is a big disadvantage before playing an away game. I have no doubt Ancelotti will prepare his players specially for the second leg to finish this job once and for all. They are still like a nightmare to Liverpool really.

Winning seven against Man United solves nothing for the champions league
Don't be carried away by that
A lot of people are already guessing Liverpool will get Real Madrid out of the competition
That can never happen

Liverpool victory vs ManU couldn't be done again whether vs ManU or another team. Real Madrid defence isn't that bad and won't do the same mistakes done by ManU players. There is also the 3 goals advantage for Real Madrid and considering the possibility of adding a goal or two at least then Liverpool situation isn't that good.

[Velvet78]

I don't expect anything surprising in the Real Madrid - Liverpool game. I don't expect Liverpool to even get a draw in this game. Their big victory over Manchester United could be misleading. Even if it helps them play better this time it is still a really bad score to come back from. Real Madrid are playing more different here than the La Liga. Ancelotti and the players would be ready for them anyway.

Real Madrid's main target is to win the Champions League title currently. Therefore they wouldn't make simple mistakes that easy.

Liverpool I think wouldn't want to deceive themselves by thinking they'll easily go past Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu the same way they thrashed Manchester United last weekend in the premier league. But that being said I'm very optimistic that Liverpool might deliver another European magical night in the Spanish capital next week. That second leg match against Real Madrid I think will be the best entertaining match of this stage of the Champions League season. Real Madrid who is most successful club in the competition would like to maintain their status while Liverpool will want to do the unthinkable and stop them from lifting the European Cup consecutively again. What a game it promises to be.

Still for now it will be very impactful I think because even if you see they can do well in the first leg but for now the second leg is clearly a bit difficult especially with Manchester City playing at home and for sure Pep will not do something as disgusting as in the first leg of this match.
I still feel this will be a win of more than 2 goals for Manchester City even though Leipzig's condition is still very good.

The two teams that played in the final in the last champions league matched in a match like an early final, but we saw an interesting result in the first match. Frankly, I saw Real Madrid a little more advantageous from the beginning, but I certainly did not expect such a result in the first match. The Champions League is over for Liverpool this year. I think even Liverpool players may have accepted that.

[JeffBrad12]

I have to say Tottenham was playing a bit worse than the first game that they lost, to be fair Milan was focused on not getting scored on, but I believe that if we have seen the first game as a tie, I am pretty sure that Milan could have won this game as well. Even though Spurs lost the first game, it looked like they were much worse in this one.

Some teams are not tournament style teams, there are some teams who play much better than they normally would when it comes to these type of cups and that's not who Spurs are, they are just a team that plays decent, they are always at the top half of premier league and that's all they achieved and that will be all for them at least another season.

Totenham's players already frustrated with conte. That's why it has been confirmed by skysport if all of players wanna see pochettino back again to the totenham

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESxeSc7lLpk&ab_channel=SkySportsPremierLeague

As you can see that even richarlison that said if it's a shit season for totenham while the fact that if any season is always shit for totenham. totenham was just mediocre team that will not win any trophy anymore. The result in UCL was making conte has no place in totenham anymore. All of players wanna see pochettino to come back asap. Spurs are not equal opponent for ac milan. Ac milan is a way better compared with totenham. Totenham was just average team that is lucky enough in EPL

[Jackl87]

PSG had plenty of chances to take the lead against Bayern Munich, which actually didn't play well at all. De Ligt's role was especially important, he removed a ball on the line. Otherwise it would have become 0-1 and then you get a completely different game. Then PSG would have really had a great chance to progress. It was of course the cracker of the eighth finals, and the fact is that PSG again failed to win the CL. Would players still want to stay? You have stars in this team but no star team. Real Madrid could also go far, but the draw is after the next round next week.

I agree that Bayern Munich was not as dominate as the end result may suggest but i also don't think that PSG really had plenty of chances to take the lead. They maybe had 2 chances to score in the first half and the biggest one of those was after that huge mistake of Bayerns goalkeeper but, as you already said, De Ligt saved the ball from the line.
In the second half though Bayern was the better team and if we are looking at both games, then i think it was completely deserved that Bayern Munich advanced into the next round.

This is another huge blow for Paris Saint Germain and i think it is possible that this is the end of that big star team. Messi does not want to stay, Mbappe also wants to leave probably and PSG already wanted to sell Neymar before the start of this season.

Me too. The aggregate seems impossible to be surpassed by liverpool. Liverpoo would be winning the game if liverpool was able to make three scores while madrid will be got nothing from the match. 3-0 as the minimum requirements for liverpool to win against real madrid. that's very very difficult task to achieve. The chance is even less than 5%. I don't even know how can liverpool beat real madrid away while liverpool got comeback easily against real madrid in anfield? i can't imagine how many goals will be made by real madrid again. I expect a huge scores to hapepn.

Real Madrid's main target is to win the Champions League title currently. Therefore they wouldn't make simple mistakes that easy.

Since la liga's chance getting even lower and real madrid has no choice other than bring back UCL trophy again. Real madrid was winning UCL last year and i think the same thing gonna happen again.

The Real Madrid team is much more experienced than the other teams in the Champions League platform. Boss Ancelotti doesn't quite know how to keep up a consistent run of good performances in the Champions League. Even when the opponents were strong, Real Madrid managed to continue their good performances.

Madrid's performance in the away match against Liverpool was unimaginable. Real Madrid was predicted to win but no one expected Real Madrid to score 5 goals. After such a remarkable win in the first leg, they are almost certain to qualify for the quarter-finals unless the Madrid players make a big mistake in the second leg. But Madrid is strong at the Bernabeu. I think Madrid will beat Liverpool again.

Real Madrid can beat Liverpool who host in the first leg. then of course in the second leg Real Madrid who are the hosts should be able to win more easily. But about Liverpool, I can't be sure whether Liverpool are currently back to their best performance or not. Liverpool have a game against Bournemouth today. and I want to see if they can continue to maintain their good performance like when they beat MU and if it turns out that Liverpool can score a lot of goals against Bournemouth then maybe Liverpool will indeed make it difficult for Real Madrid in the second leg later.

I don't think so. If you were watching it carefully and bayern was always leading the match in all of legs. Bayern was also dominating the first leg in parc de princess and the same thing happened in allianz arena. The PSG's level is not equal with bayern at this moment.
Bayern is far better compared with PSG. PSG can only rely on mbappe and messi. The era of messi will be gone very soon. Mbappe will be the only player that will be relied upon by PSG.

Messi and neymar will be going out from PSG maybe at the end this season. PSG has no chance other than try to buy some good players to replace neymar and messi. Even with neymar and messi, PSG is not able winning UCL.
That proves how hard effort that has needed to win UCL. I wonder who will be replacing messi and neymar once those players will leave from PSG

[RaltcoinsB]

Another disapointing year for Psg in the champions league even thought they bring the best players every season they fail to win the champions league, i think that the main problem they face each season is the absence of a good coach who is capable to exploit his players potential and thats why we see mbappe, messi and neymar perform poorly on the european level, they couldn't even score a single goal against bayern who are not in the best shape and i think this is the worst bayern version in the last five years and they still managed to beat them in both games.

I agree with you, they played against maybe the weakest and most out of shape Bayern in recent years. Despite this, they couldn't even score 1 goal against them, which is very sad for them. Messi could not win the champions league again, he could not achieve the success he wanted with PSG. Bayern managed to beat them even though they were bad, I don't know how they will perform in the next rounds, but I think it seems a bit difficult for them to become champions this year

Bayern Munich has always shown above average performance in such important tournaments.  Their performance in this match was such a performance.  Their opponents were a very tough team.  Psg is a team that most European cup teams would not want to face.  They have a strong squad, but the Germans managed to eliminate them.

I don't think Liverpool will be able to beat Real Madrid in the second leg. Because the Liverpool team has to go ahead by reducing the lead of 3-0 goals and scoring again and the Liverpool defenses have to keep an eye on the Real Madrid team to not score. The process will be really tough for Liverpool which is unbelievable.

Wow! I've seen every Champions League game since its beginning, and Real Madrid's performance against Liverpool was incredible. That was truly mind-boggling. Madridistas dominate this category. They use their vast experience well. . High-performing.

Worried about Liverpool's form? It's clear they're struggling. "Class persists while form passes away," the saying goes. Liverpool is sophisticated. Bournemouth will be a true test for them. I'm curious if they can maintain their performance against MU. Even if they play well, Liverpool won't beat Real Madrid. With their first leg triumph, the Merengues are confident and will want another dominant performance to secure their quarterfinal position

I am sure that the Bournemouth match will be followed with interest from the Real Madrid side.  Since their 7-0 win over Manchester United, there has been increased confidence in Liverpool that they can make it to the round against Real Madrid.  Still, my guess is that the Real Madrid tour will pass.

[SatoPrincess]

ManCity vs Bayern might the finals for this year but Napoli will create some problems for whoever they will face next and maybe with some extra luck , they can reach the finals and who knows ...maybe winning it as well.

On the same time , can we count out Real Madrid ? Hard to do it , especially when we know they can pull out a victory or score a goal out of nowhere and that is what makes them very dangerous when they have the ball on counter-attack.

I think Real Madrid are also favourites to play in the Champions league finals this season, with the current gal in aggregates against Liverpool I can say Real Madrid are already through to the next round of the champions league and stand a chance to win through to the finals. I have a feeling Manchester city will drop off on the way like PSG.
