UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, of course, when the club is dependent on one player, the risk will go along with it. We haven't seen Manchester City without Haaland at the moment and Pep Guardiola should have anticipated that. Losing one player will certainly hinder, moreover that player becomes an important figure in their attack line. Because when there are no other players in that position, his teammates will definitely do what they usually do when Haaland plays. Guardiola has to prepare for this kind of thing.

I think Pep Guardiola has warned about that especially when Haaland was replaced by Alvarez several times in the last few games. Haaland is an important figure at the moment in Manchester City's attack, but when Pep Guardiola knows he needs rest then he will be substituted too.

Actually I don't think giving Haaland such a high of playtime by playing him in many match would be such a big problem. Haaland has a good physique to recover his physical condition faster, moreover it will also allow him to adapt more quickly to his new team's style of play. I think Pep Guardiola knows when Haaland has to start on the bench and when he has to start in main line up, he knows that I think.

Reflecting on the previous season when he was at Dortmund precisely because more pressure to keep playing made his legs vulnerable and I saw a lot of problems with his feet last season.
This concern will still exist now, especially with a history of such injuries, so it is clear that anticipation from the beginning to maintain fitness is a very important one.

Basically I watched the entire game. Borussia Dortmund played really well. They always prevented Manchester City from getting the ball. Their defense has shown great potential. I expected them to win the game. But Haland's goal in the last phase of the game put Dortmund behind and ultimately defeated.

But do you expect Borussia Dortmund to win at home against the UCL favorite Manchester City? I am seeing the same scenario when they play again. Superb defense right from the start to avoid Man City from penetrating. Another possible goal from Borussia in the early phase of the game. But City will have another rally in the later part to end it at 2-1. It will be interesting for the fans seeing Erling Haaland visiting his former home but playing on the opposite side.

Borussia Dortmund defeats are common in the game as Borussia Dortmund did their best to prevent Manchester City from winning, but the efforts of the Borussia Dortmund team did not produce the results they wanted as a goal from Haaland at the end of the match had turned Borussia Dortmund into a loss.
And that is a very extraordinary thing for both of them because they have both fought in the match even though there must be a loser and a winner.

In a soccer match, winning and losing is commonplace.

As for The Citizens, Manchester City must work hard to overthrow Dortmund in this match. even though the match was a home match but the game did not go easy for man city, the match was very tough until the first half ended there was not a single goal created.

Dortmund appear quite confident as the visitors. had taken the lead in the 56th minute, but unfortunately Man City could equalize as a result Haaland's goal became the winner for Peg Guardiola's squad. although Dortmund had to go home empty-handed, but it proved they had played quite well.

There are strong teams in the champions league this season but their is this team that always beat big teams but they will not still near the finals. Ajax Amsterdam, Paris Saint Germain and Manchester city. Ajax can win tough clubs in the league and still yet, would be eliminated from either round 8 or quarter finals. Manchester city were once given the chance to lift the UEFEA trophy but they failed after losing to Chelsea in the finals. Concerning PSG, I don't really know their problem and can't just see the reason why they can't win the UEFEA because they have one of the best squad in the league and they always lift the Ligue 1 title with ease. Let's hope one of them lift the trophy this season.

As you said, strong teams often lose to weaker clubs. We can't predict it, remember that last season Bayern Munich was also the strongest club candidate before finally losing to Villareal which in La Liga they didn't look too good. The Champions League can motivate weak clubs to become strong and because it is a prestigious League there will be many unexpected possibilities. Man City, PSG and clubs that are considered giants must remain vigilant.

Surprise every possible, there must have been Villarreal and Salzburg last season was full of surprises but things like that are only limited to being a stumbling block because still when you are at the end the big teams are always at the top.
Currently in the group stage Club Brugge managed to surprise me in group B because with opponents who can be said to be quite well-known in the Champions League like Atletico, Porto and Leverkusen they now stand comfortably at the top of the group standings.

[herurist]

But this is still better for them than having to lose again.
We also know that Salzburg is one of the dark horses with a very good defense, so it is indeed very difficult for them to destroy the Salzburg defense, especially with Chelsea's condition which is in a transition period as it is now due to a change of coach.

I don't think Chelsea will have much of a chance of qualifying for the last 16 if they don't improve. If on matchday 3 Chelsea don't win the match, then I believe they only deserve to be thrown into the Europa League this season. Don't know if Potter was really prepared for all these consequences, but yes I think there is still hope for their revival after a few weeks gap for the Champions League.

For the next match, Chelsea will travel to Milan. I don't think it was an easy match for them to win especially Milan are a very good team so far. Milan is expected to win, but chelsea will definitely try desperately to get points.

There are still some games left and their chances are still there now.
We can't say for sure it won't develop because we know it was Potter's debut and it's clear he still has a chance to improve Chelsea's form.
I'm still pretty sure he can improve his performance as for the Champions League as long as in the remaining 4 matches they perform well then the chance to qualify for the next phase is clear.

Liverpool's effort against Ajax was really impressive. This made me start thinking about whether they would be able to reflect this on the rest of the games in the group as well. They are going to play against Rangers two times in a row. If they manage to get six points from these ones then I can really start to think that the usual Liverpool are back. They aren't late for anything in the group stage as they are still the 2nd. With a good momentum, they can get at least four points from Napoli and Ajax later on also.

I was happy to see Salah scoring a goal and making an important contribution. He wasted so many goal opportunities before this game and this was enough to demoralize him. Now he would start improving his performance hopefully in the EPL and CL both. I'm worried about Nunez the most as he was ineffective in the Ajax game also. He is unable to meet the expectations for now.

Again and again Real Madrid was not in the prediction, because the previous season also Real Madrid were not considered for the Champions League title but in fact they were kings. I just don't want to have high hopes for any team to win the title this season, because I am also aware that some big teams with great squads certainly have a chance to win the title. But again and again, they are still difficult to predict even from the start until the end, there will always be surprises which of course all teams fight as best they can.

Again and again, Real Madrid is also always lucky to get a seat in the group stage with clubs that are relatively below quality. So it's not surprising how smooth Madrid's path with their opponents is and enjoys the group stage. As a result, if we see who else is as lucky as Madrid? PSG. If the two really have to meet at the top of the final then I am very happy because I want to see from a point of view what the differences between the two clubs are.

It's not hard to think Dortmund can defeat Man City with their current squad. History has it that Dortmund has won Man City 3 times in their total of eight meetings while Man City lead with 4. What I think Dortmund lack now is confidence and it's a bit disheartening to note that one of your good strikers is in the enemy camp.
 
 I think Haaland is a prolific player as he has managed to score three goals in this tournament to stand equal with Mbappe and Lewandowski. His saving goal for Man City was a much needed one but out of respect for his former club, the Norwegian refused to celebrate. Quite a lot to learn from that if you ask me.

That's what interesting about the Champions League where all the surprises can happen without us expecting it at all, as you said about the elimination of Munich from Villareal which incidentally was a weak team last season, now there are several big teams who are favorites to become champion candidates but I think their journey it will not be easy at all to reach the final, many weak teams focus on being able to talk a lot in the champions league and of course they have high motivation and pride to be able to beat the strong teams, in my opinion, Benfica, Club Brugge, and sporting can be the team that will surprise us this season.

let's say the clubs in La Liga and Premier League do not have an ideal place because the points collection is too far away in their respective leagues. However, the Champions League is very wide and there are so many opportunities that they focus on playing better and looking for luck outside the league. Last season I didn't even think Villareal had that aggressive motivation to get into the final. Lots of unexpected possibilities in this season too and for a giant club don't be too happy to claim victory just yet.

And even Dortmund almost won the match, in this match I have to say Man City were a bit lucky to score 2 goals in the 80th minute
Even though in a situation like that almost all players are frustrated lucky they have a player like Haaland reliable in critical situations.

[Furious 7]

There are several rumors about Tuchel being linked with Juventus following Allegri's current condition who is not very good at concocting the formula for Juventus but this is still just a rumor because it is rare for them to change players in the middle of the season but the possibility is still there when his performance is still like this I think .
Juventus still have quite good players and can compete but due to some conditions their performance is still stagnant.

Juventus seeing him after meet and lost 4-0 on last champions league session. He is a potential coach who can managed the squad, but at that time Tuchel still on Chelsea and the rumors has spread. Now, this opportunity to approach him again. but Alegri are still attached in juventus and refuse to back down even lost in a row on champions league. Tuchel and Zidane already widely heard in everywhere.

The problem is whether the current bosses are willing to spend money to pay compensation for Allegri and bring Tuchel to Turin at this time because indeed Allegri's sacking obviously costs money but when his performances get really bad over time then that's okay in my opinion.
For Zidane it's still a bit difficult in my opinion because he is still a difficult person to bring at the moment but for Tuchel maybe he can still and the chances are big.

Rome played a good game and also showed how good they are for Italy. Lazio Roma: But what was that?. They lost 5:1 against FC Midtjylland... how is that possible? They are in the top 10 in Serie A and have only allowed 5 goals in 6 games. And now 5 goals in one game, that's not normally possible.

Manchester United: CR7 scored a goal, oha

The absolute defeat was quite surprising indeed, especially in this case they lost to a club that could be considered unseeded even I just found out there is a club called FC Midtjylland in Denmark because I rarely see league matches there.

Ronaldo's first penalty and first goal in the Europa League hopefully he can play better even though his prestige is not the same as the Champions League

I think, it will be difficult for PSG to win this season trophy because their starting in this UEFA champions competition, showed that they will not go far in this season if their coach continue benching some of the players that know how to attract early goals on the first half. If PSG coach can work on their midfield before their next match, I believe there will be massive change, because their strikers are lacking help from their midfielders. I don't think Ajax can defeat Manchester city in this season, because many things has changed in Manchester city in this season that will make them unbeatable through out this tournament.

Borussia Dortmund's defense was quite difficult to penetrate by Manchester City in the first half, because they played quite well in the bottom row, but unfortunately after scoring a goal Borussia Dortmund played defensively, thus creating opportunities for Manchester City to hold the ball more. Disaster came after the first goal, City continued to press and attack, until Haland was able to lock the victory in the 84th minute

Basically I watched the entire game. Borussia Dortmund played really well. They always prevented Manchester City from getting the ball. Their defense has shown great potential. I expected them to win the game. But Haland's goal in the last phase of the game put Dortmund behind and ultimately defeated.

Totally agree, it's not that Dortmund doesn't give any fight, they play really well too, especially their defense, both the center back and their GK has been very discipline the entire match, only did few small mistake. Haaland was just a very sharp striker, know a good position and know how to finish an attack very well. Overall Dortmund still has very high chance to go to the knock-out stage, so this lose to City is not that big of a deal.

I know you were referring to yesterday's match and I don't deny your opinion it's a fact that must be admitted
But we can't refer to some matches at least we have to see until the group stage is over it would be fairer
If PSG come out as group winners then their chances could be bigger.

To lose to Manchester city is not that big of a deal. Manchester city is a superb team made up of top notch players that play as a team to get the desired goal. Dortmund played well and tried their best. They were rewarded with a goal but couldn’t hold or  keep up the pressure as Manchester city came from behind and scored 2 goals to win the match. Haaland with the late goal came through for Manchester city to score and win the game against his former teammates. Haaland is undeniably a prolific striker and he’s bound to make a difference in his time at Manchester city.

[gabbie2010]

In a match against Dortmund, Erling Haaland scored the winning goal. All of us are delighted to see the boys playing so well, but when it comes to his tactics, I'm really eager to find out how he will implement them because it's a new season. The rocket goal by Jhon Stones and Cancelo's assist on Haaland's amazing strike deserve praise.

So far Manchester City are still on a positive path in the Champions qualifiers, two games played, both taking full points. While Borussia Dortmund only collected three points, from the two matches that have been played, Erling Haaland's goal became the winner for them

Yes, in the first half Borussia Dortmund played quite well. They chose to play defensive football because they came as guests and they realized that Man City are a big team with dangerous attacks. The strategy from Borussia Dortmund seems to have worked and makes Man City look desperate. But after Man City scored the first goal, it made Man City more confident so they could really dominate the game.

Honestly I was very impressed with the composure of Borussia Dortmund against Man City, they are well organized team and play without any undue pressure in Etihad, Jude Bellingham a 19 years old lad was dictating the pace and coordinating their midfield with confidence, however I was a bit disappointed with their goalkeeper Meyer he should have done better by stopping John Stone long range shot when City equalized, thereafter Erling Haaland sealed their win, I am predicting Man City and Borussia Dortmund to qualify from that group going by the two team performances in two matches.
