UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[rozak]

If we look at the performance shown by Barcelona against Inter, it is clear that the potential to qualify is quite difficult. Xavi may have to lose Barcelona style of play due to the absence of his core players. Maybe they are much better off focusing on La Liga because the Champions League is too heavy for Barcelona now if the formation of players is not so fully supported. Xavi expectations were considered excessive, and even his performance with Inter was worse than against Bayern.

Inter vs Barca game is boring enough? I have to look at it from the audience's point of view. Xavi may apply the pattern of play as usual with dominant possession of the ball. but it was anticipated by Inter. Barca didn't get many chances. even only made 7 shots with 2 on target.
I also don't think Xavi has ambitions for the Champions League. their focus is La Liga. they want to restore Barca's glory in La Liga. Xavi won't think too hard about the Champions League.

It looks like a lot of easy games tonight and I think we will not see any surprise result or maybe just one or two but not more like yesterday night where the results of the games were not what everyone was expecting.I think that this night is a good opportunity to collect some money by creating the perfect parlay ticket with odds range from 3-5 and multiply our money,chances are there as stronger teams are playing against much weaker ones so I consider tonight games as a golden opportunity to do this.

Is it possible for a Xavi Hernandez to ignore Europe's biggest tournament? Of course I don't think so mate. Xavi Hernandez will make the UEFA Champions League and La Liga his targets this season with Barca.
Inter Milan's victory over Barcelona was only due to the luck factor. In the 66th minute VAR annulled Barcelona's goal through Pedri's kick because it was considered Ansu Fati's handball. I think VAR is problematic in this regard.

Yesterday’s defeat was expected, Viktoria Pizen do not stand a chance against the other three teams in the group, Barcelona, Inter milan and Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich now have an upper hand in the group with 12 points at the top of the group leaving Inter Milan and Barcelona to fight for the second spot in the group and who to qualify to the next round of 16 stages.

Xavi gives too much promise before the match was starting. He said that barcelona would be even more aggressive compared when it was against bayern but the fact that barcelona was loosing against intermilan. So far barcelona was only collecting three points while bayern was 9. The barcelona must win in the rest of matches or it will not go to the top 16. That proves that how aggressive barcelona in la liga didn't mean barcelona can do the same in the champion league.

I have said before, this is a crucial game for Barcelona even though they have a positive trend in the domestic league. but with the absence of several core players who are injured Barcelona will be very overwhelmed in last night's match.
Inter Milan was able to match Barcelona's game, where every time they had a chance, they didn't waste an opportunity every time they attacked, as a result Barcelona conceded.
Barcelona midfielder was really bad last night especially Sergio Busguets, Marco Alonso also played badly. Even though the ball possession match was owned by Barcelona, ​​however, every attack that was built did not produce a shot on target.
With this result, Barcelona's chances are getting further away to qualify for the next phase.

In group E we will see an unusual match between AC Milan Vs Chelsea. This match certainly garnered attention where the two clubs only met twice, namely in the 1999-2000 Champions League Season. The first meeting on 15 September 1999 with a 0:0 draw and the second meeting on 26 October 1999 with a 1:1 result, so the two have not yet beaten each other even though it was Chelsea who lost from the group stage.

Champions League 1999-2000


Champions League 2022-2023


After 23 years of waiting, next week they will meet again with a different fate, where AC Milan leads the group standings and Chelsea is in 4th position. Going to stick with Chelsea's current state I think will be a tough task for Graham Potter. The positive point for Graham Potter is that several AC Milan players have been absent, which is a bit of an advantage if Chelsea can play optimally.

It looks like a lot of easy games tonight and I think we will not see any surprise result or maybe just one or two but not more like yesterday night where the results of the games were not what everyone was expecting.

The match I'm most interested in is Chelsea vs AC Milan. The group but clubs are in are still open and anybody wining this game tonight has an advantage in qualifying from the group. Chelsea hasn't had an impressive start to the tournament but I'm hoping they can defeat AC Milan and be in the same point with them considering, Chelsea haven't lost their most recent European home matches against Italian opponents (W8 D3), their last two defeats were in the 2010's decade. Chelsea has improved under the new management as we can see the hunger from the boys in wanting to win the games they have played and it payed off against their last opponent.

Ac Milan is currently at the top of the group meaning there's more pressure on Chelsea winning this game then, AC Milan winning. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang just got his first goal for Chelsea in the 2-1 win against crystal palace and I would love to see him continue scoring by getting more than one goal in this fixture to boost his confidence as he's wearing the No9 jersey which seems to have a curse since the last players to wear that number didn't do well.

Barcelona should have won even with this canceled goal due to VAR, especially since Inter are not in the best shape right now. But Inter really got lucky this evening, it happens sometimes. And Napoli all proved that they are the best in their group and now after this confident victory at Ajax, it seems that the victory at Liverpool was not an accident, Napoli are really the best!

You're right, it's too boring to see every attack built up from Dembele side so easily broken. Not only that, Xavi strategy composition looks messy and few opportunities are created. Inter here is only 1 goal up but if you look at the shot against Barcelona it has much more dangerous potential. Only Barcelona midfield was good enough, Lewandowski didn't make much of a breakthrough in the Inter defense. Maybe if there were De Jong and Memphis, Xavi strategy could be effective.

To be honest ...today ...I can't see Chelsea winning the game or even taking points from the game with AC.Milan because Milan is back on track , playing great football with offensive style and they are a team that continue to rise for 3 years already. Chelsea...they had luck in EPL to win that game and I don't see them having any more luck tonight and Chelsea fans should be worried about their club performance in the next coming years.

Barcelona's defeat from Inter Milan made Barcelona now stranded in third place in Group C, if Barcelona are not able to rise in the next match then Xavi's troops will repeat last season's achievement being relegated to the European league, in my personal opinion this season Barcelona will repeat the story like last season ended the competition without getting a single title, the financial problems that hit the Barcelona club made them end this season again without a title, in fact Xavi had done everything possible to return Barcelona to its former glory, but it still took a few more years and Xavi was still have to make a few more purchases to be able to compete again in the European arena.

Yes indeed, I also doubt Chelsea even though this match will be played at Stamford Bridge but it looks like Chelsea are still unable to get out of the stalemate they are currently experiencing. Instead of targeting for full points, I think the very close end result for this match is sharing points because even so, at least Chelsea will always have the power not to lose for the second time at home. But if Chelsea have the ability to win then that is something good, because the competition in Group E is still tight because the points difference is still very close.

I really have no words to say about Ajax. I wasn't expecting them to play this much badly against Napoli in a home match. Napoli brought the score to 5-1 until the red card already and finished the job by 6-1 later on. This is an embarrassing result for a team that are one of the effective attacking teams normally. Maybe their defending was terrible but Ajax could have at least try to be better at scoring goals. They didn't show much existence right in front of their supporters.

After this horrible result I think they don't deserve next round at all. Liverpool and Napoli would reach next stage in the tournament as Liverpool also started to win in the group matches.

That is what I think about Barcelona. I think they don't have much focus on Champions league like the way they focus on laliga . I know Inter is not a weak team , expected them to be tough to Barcelona,  but I was still expecting a goal from Barcelona players  to win the match . Barcelona performance was not impressive and Barcelona had opportunities to make out goals but they missed all. They need to look for a way to improve against the next match they will be playing.

[fzkto]

Of course I was most surprised by Napoli or Ajax, I don't know which. I didn't expect Napoli to play so well in this match. Now they definitely don't have to worry about the return game. Of today's matches I will be interested to see how Chelsea play against Milan and Benfica against PSG.

Even on papers mostly matches are looking easy but still we can expect some unusual results from few teams as we have last night mostly peoples were expecting Ajax and Barcelona to be dominating teams, but both were down and Ajax were badly ruined by Napoli attack and lost with the tennis figure of 1 - 6 and Inter have bored win by the score of 1 - 0 with this result now look like Barcelona is going out of the Champions League because they are not looking good enough in this season with their main target is La Liga.

Today just matches could be interested but things looking not easy for few which are having bad results on local leagues and now can over through from Champions League as well.

A quick glance at them previous game with Crystal Palace saw how they struggled to win that game. I expected Crystal Palace to wrap things up but they couldn't as expected. That game saw some individual performance and talent winning the game. Olivier Giroud returning today to Stamford Bridge, let's see if he becomes the one to break the bridge tonight and also Tomori the england international defender who has blossom at Ac Milan. I'd love to see how they cope against them former side. ( Chelsea )

I'll keep my eyes on Manchester City tonight, as far as I love beautiful football. Erling Haaland getting another Hat trick today ? Lol. Mehn! That lad unstoppable, I did made a prediction that he'll score 50+ goals this season and this is just the start. Pep Guardiola now making and turning the Premier League to farmers league. Danish opponents against them at Etihad, what do you expect ? Humiliation ? Yes for me, but 90 minutes will tell if they'll win or draw.


Real Madrid have had hard game's with Shaktar Dn before this season, they lost some two seasons ago but they are here again at San Thiago Beenabue. With Karim Benzema back they now have more goal scoring chance here at home.

AC Milan may have a better performance than Chelsea but I think Chelsea is also starting to change after Graham Potter became their new coach. Even though he got a draw on his debut against Salzburg but their performance seems to be improving when they beat Crystal Palace. So I think, Chelsea has the potential to beat AC Milan, moreover, they will play at home and the crowd will certainly be an advantage for them. Chelsea is at the bottom of the table, a draw or even loss would make their struggle even harder.

[Ahli38]

I wonder if Graham Potter can take Chelsea to a higher level of play. because so far chelsea's performance is really inconsistent. but Chelsea's opponent this time is very tough, namely Milan. but Chelsea benefited because of this match Chelsea was the host. and in this match Chelsea really had to win to collect points. but to be honest i don't feel confident with chelsea's performance. so I dare not predict how the outcome of this match. Milan themselves are not at their best but they look much better than Chelsea. And recently also Milan won against Host Empoli in the Italian league Serie A.

To be fair though Ajax is losing their best players after almost every season and each and every time they have to compensate that with new players. Only in the last few years they have lost Frenkie De Jong, De Ligt, Mazraoui, Gravenberch and a few more. So given this fact i think that Ajax is still doing pretty well overall in this Champions League season. Of course the game yesterday was an exception from that, but i also think that this was not only because Ajax was so bad yesterday but because Napoli is just that strong at the moment. They have won all 3 games in the CL now and that against clubs like Liverpool. If Napoli can keep up with this level of performance then they are a threat to every club.

In this competition Potter still struggle to get his first winning and his debut match against Leipzig also not run smoothly because Chelsea failed to win although Chelsea get their first winning from Crystal Palace but their performance also not too satisfied and compared to Milan which more stable in Serie A and Champion league this could be hard match for Chelsea because in the last 2 matches Potter still used different formations which mean he still cannot find perfect strategies for Chelsea and today Milan will be the favourite to win the game but i feel Chelsea also the team who cannot be easy to beat at their home ground so possibly this match will ended with draw result again
