UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[yudi09]

Group E is getting more and more interesting to follow its development. The problem is that after AC Milan lost 3-0 to Chelsea, the competition to qualify was even tighter.

The four teams in Group E are only 1 point apart from the 3 matches they have played. Salzburg is the team that is ranked 1st with 5 points. While Chelsea and AC Milan who are in second and third position have 4 points. Dinamo Zagreb collected 3 points in fourth place.



Overall, Chelsea looked amazing when they beat AC Milan at Stamford Bridge. Reece, Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana became Chelsea players who embarrassed the Rosseneri. Reece James, who scored Chelsea's last goal against Tatarusanu, became the highest-rated player in the match.



Is the victory over AC Milan a sign that Chelsea are back to their best?

[Fakhrulenclix]

Chelsea's fantastic victory is certainly a matter of pride and is the beginning of Chelsea's revival in the hands of a new coach, because it managed to embarrass the Serie A giants with a score of 3-0, but Chelsea must not be satisfied with the results obtained, because their position is still not safe, because four teams from group E still have the same chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League, for now in my opinion there are only a few teams that have managed to secure a place to qualify for the next round, such as Napoli, Real Madrid and Manchester city, if for other teams may have to wait 2 more games to be able to confirm tickets to the next round.

You forget that Club Brugge and Bayern Munich also have great potential to qualify for the round of 16 and secure a ticket if they win one more match on matchday 4, 5 or 6. Chelsea certainly cannot qualify for the next round, considering that this team does not yet have a stable performance to be expected to be able to get full points in every match.

I might think that Chelsea will drop points in the next 3 match because Milan, Salzburg and Dinamo Zegreb are not to be taken lightly. All teams in Group E still have a chance to secure a ticket to the next round, so it's true that it's not time for Chelsea to be complacent with one victory.

it's true but Chelsea's first win over AC Milan makes their chances more open to qualify for the round of 16.
in the remaining 3 matches, everything is still possible, from the 4 teams in Group E they are only 1 point apart and in my opinion, in terms of quality Chelsea have a greater chance of qualifying from the group.
Chelsea just need to be consistent with their slick game which they showed when they beat AC Milan 3 goals.

[CryptocurencyKing]

An impeccable performance from Chelsea. I was really impressed with the way Chelsea handled Ac Milan. I was expecting Ac Milan to put up with a fight considering their current form in Serie A. But Chelsea outperformed them. I think this Chelsea team is gradually developing into a good form.
They absolutely dominated Ac Milan. With the way they played you could tell that they desperately needed that win to keep hopes of progressing from the group alive and they delivered when it mattered. Let them bring this positive energy to the following games and get back on the winning track.

Group D also looks increasingly fierce in fighting for the second position. The interesting result in Group D occurred after Eintracht Frankfurt drew with Tottenham Hotspur and Marseille who were able to beat Sporting CP by a large score (4 - 1) who are currently the leader of group D standings.

Overall, Chelsea looked amazing when they beat AC Milan at Stamford Bridge. Reece, Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana became Chelsea players who embarrassed the Rosseneri. Reece James, who scored Chelsea's last goal against Tatarusanu, became the highest-rated player in the match.

Is the victory over AC Milan a sign that Chelsea are back to their best?

I see it only as an effort from the Chelsea team who are improving strategy this season so Chelsea must always work hard and be consistent in every game so as not to fall behind. So I can't fully judge and say Chelsea have been at their best this season, because Chelsea are just improving every single one of their weaknesses at the moment.

Is the victory over AC Milan a sign that Chelsea are back to their best?

I hope so but it's too early to say that if chelsea has been going back to the its best performance. It's caused by we didn't know what's gonna be the performance from chelsea for the EPL match. I meant this team is very inconsistent at this moment with its performance. Sometime this club can show very good performance but for the upcoming match chelsea will be so hard even to make a goal against the low tier team. That makes people are feeling doubt if chelsea has been going back to the best performance after beating milan in the champion league. I will not take this conclusion caused by it's too early to take it for now. Just let chelsea to do some games and then we will able to determine it

Is a great victory for Chelsea, considering what have been going on at the club this past few months, sacking of coach and other members that have been at the club for long and bringing a new coach in, and him not winning like expected, this can destabilize any club, and it shows that they are back by winning the Italian champions, I always thought Graham potter was the right choice, the need to turn their attention back to the premier League because everything is still there to fight for.

Congratulations to Graham Potter for securing his first win in an UCL match as the new Chelsea manager having proved some of his critic wrong by defeating the giant AC Milan 3-0 in a hard-fought win, though it's not over yet because they still have a reverse fixture against their opponent in the next match in another tough encounter, a win will guarantee and brightened their chances of qualification to the next round, however a loss will put them in a very tight race because the group leader Salzburg will possibly win their match against table underdog Dinamo Zagreb in the next match.

Group D also looks increasingly fierce in fighting for the second position. The interesting result in Group D occurred after Eintracht Frankfurt drew with Tottenham Hotspur and Marseille who were able to beat Sporting CP by a large score (4 - 1) who are currently the leader of group D standings.

Group D and Group E do not seem much different because all teams still have a chance to qualify for the last 16 if they are able to win the remaining matches. There are 9 points still up for grabs between them, but I think Chelsea and Milan have a good chance of qualifying from Group E. While in Group D, Tottenham and Sporting CP are the two most likely teams in my opinion.

Meanwhile, Barcelona who are members of Group C are increasingly difficult to qualify from the group stage considering they have only won 3 points so far. Defeats to Bayern Munich and Inter have cost them 6 points, but there are 3 match ahead that they must win, 2 of them at home and 1 away.

I can say yes but my yes has some limitations. Chelsea as a team has started to understand one another and understand their new coach. The owner of Chelsea seems to be trusting the coach more, what this means is that Potter won't be making decisions under pressure . Whenever a coach makes decisions without pressure, the outcome is always positive.
Chelsea is back to form, but with the level of competition in English Premier League, I don't expect them to win every match.

[Velvet78]

Aubameyang has started to adapt to Chelsea as it seems. He has played in 4 games so far and none of them was for 90 minutes. But he scored 2 goals anyway. As you indicated, Chelsea have started to enter the right path under Potter's management. Defeating Milan by a solid effort and very reassuring victory is a big job for them.

They have such a competitive group now as well. Milan were the leader before last night but now they are at the 3rd position. Honestly I think Chelsea - Milan duo would manage to reach next round. I don't think either Salzburg or Dinamo Zagreb are strong enough to leave one of those teams behind at the end.

[Dewi Aries]

Great for Benfica, I personally was pretty sure at first that Benfica had the ability to hold PSG to a draw but I tried to ignore those considerations. Because after all I still really appreciate the luxurious squad that PSG has which will certainly guarantee victory, but unfortunately I was wrong to choose that way and in the end Benfica really could hold PSG to a draw. This kind of performance will certainly be very difficult for Juventus to break, because the revenge match for Juventus will be an away match against Benfica which even PSG who have better performance still cannot beat Benfica. That way, it looks like Juventus' chance to qualify from this group stage will be difficult or it's an unattainable result.

Exactly what I thought PSG should have won at least one goal but what happened was that both teams drew
At first I was wondering when checking the betting market for PSG the bookie predicts PSG won by no more than one goal
Now I understand that bookies doubt PSG defence strangely the prediction was right.

This result does not change the fact, that Chelsea remain in the insecure zone in the champions league.
What is certain is that in the remainder of the match, Chelsea will inevitably have to win the match if they want to qualify for the next round of the Champions League. but, at least, now Potter has more trust from the fans and his squad. it's good for the squad, mentally they are starting to form again.
Hopefully Potter can maximize Chelsea's performance in the next matches.

for a team that already has a safe place you forget with Bayern Munich, they are in a safe place with nine points.
as well as Club Brugge, they have perfect points and are in the safe zone.

Yes it was a very valuable victory since Graham Potter took charge of Chelsea. With this victory, it is hoped that Chelsea can return to their best performance, yes that is a hope. Don't be complacent because there is still a lot of work for Graham Potter to be able to continue to improve the performance of his foster children. After 2 times without a win, they finally got 3 points from a big club which became one of the toughest competitors in this group E.
After winning in the Premier League last week, they are now continuing their winning trend in the Champions League. There has been an improvement in terms of play, this is good news for the English club.

Dortmund has get important winning at Sevilla home ground today because after this result their chances is wide open went to round 16 and apparently the competition in group G only belongs to them and Manchester City because Sevilla and Copenhagen still lack of points and next match will be more easy for Dortmund because they will playing at their home ground and mathematically if Dortmund can able to win the match or at least draw they will be certain to finish at second position on group standings below to Manchester City

Yes, with this victory, Borussia Dortmund is sure to become the second club after Manchester City to have a great chance of qualifying for the knockout phase. They have 6 points in the standings, while Sevilla and Copenhagen have only 1 point. You're right in this group it might belong to Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, I don't think Sevilla or Copenhagen will be able to wipe out the rest of the game with a win. Borussia Dortmund's task is getting easier now, at least they only need a draw in the remaining matches. Because I'm not sure that the two rival clubs will get maximum points.

[YuginKadoya]

Call me a degenerate but I've currently got a 16/1 for the following bet builder (was previously 12/1):

1. Haarland - Over 2.5 shots on target ---> currently averaging 2.5 in premier league, almost 2 goals a game. Even two goals is at even odds lol. Otherwise is 1/2 as single bet.
2. Foden - Over 1.5 shots on target ---> currently averaging around 1 per p/l game. Woke up after Man Utd hat trick, also Haarland learnt to pass inside 6 year box.
3. Both teams to score ---> man city aren't known for their clean sheets, as they don't need one when scoring over 3-4 per game in P/L.

I'm generally anticipating a least a few City goals, though after Man U game don't want to be betting how many goals either team can achieve.
Didn't even bother betting on Man City to win, barely changes the already high odds. Part 2 & 3 are roughly 2/1 odds individually.
Copenhagen very likely to get trashed in this one as aren't having a great start to their season so far.

PS - Can someone let me know of a bitcoin-based gambling site similar to bet365 with bet building options for footy?

Well, it is OK if you choose what to bet for the following Football game because of the high odds on some Manchester City games, like in the Manchester City VS Copenhagen game, Why not try Stake.com you can build a bet with it but I think there are just limited things you can do with their Bet builder page, but anyway try it if you like,


Here are the result of my picks,

FC Salzburg VS GNK Dinamo Zagreb GOAL 1 - 0 - LOST

This game is definitely close I think both defenders had done a great job in defending especially Dominik Livaković from Dinamo, And Salzburg only made a goal with a penalty goal via Noah Okafor, Livakovic had gone the wrong way but yeah the game can really end with a draw aswell

RB Leipzig VS Celtic Glasgow GOAL 3 - 1 - WIN

Just like I thought it will be a one-sided game, I really think Leipzig has more effort in the champion league than the Bundesliga they dominated the game with a 3 - 1 goal, and Christopher Nkunku was the 1st to make a goal, then on 2nd half Jota  made a goal for Celtic, then Andre Silva made the last 2 goals for Leipzig to win against Celtic,

SL Benfica VS Paris Saint-Germain FC GOAL 1 - 1 - DRAW

PSG likely has a high chance of winning this but sad to say bad luck strikes when their center-back Danilo Pereira made a mistake an own goal to their net, when Lionel Messi with the assist of Neymar made the 1st goal then Danilo Pereira ruined it with that mistake is a terrible draw for PSG,

Manchester City FC VS FC Copenhagen GOAL 5 - 0 - WIN

It was a massacre, on what happened to this game, and completely one-sided game that is what happens with this, 1st strike was for Erling Halland then 2nd strike was from Erling Halland aswell, then an Own goal by Davit Khocholava for Man City's Net then Riyad Mahrez penalty goal, then lastly Julian Alvarez goal, it was a total annihilation against Copenhagen,

[cryptofrka]

Dinamo's european story continues the same way it always has - a solid performance ruined by a silly mistake. Shame, they were good for a draw yesterday.
Moharrami should know better than to give away such a cheap penalty and Drmić should have done a lot better with that 1 on 1 sitter he was gifted with by a horrible mistake from Salzburg's defender.

Still - I feel that we can beat them in Zagreb. Chelsea's win against Milan keeps the group fairly open.

[izsara]

Aubameyang has started to adapt to Chelsea as it seems. He has played in 4 games so far and none of them was for 90 minutes. But he scored 2 goals anyway.

I don't think either Salzburg or Dinamo Zagreb are strong enough to leave one of those teams behind at the end.

in this case I also want to praise the scheme that Potter did in his first few games at Chelsea.
3 matches he went with 1 draw and 2 wins of course this is a good record even when he is still confused about the suitable formation because of the three matches he played he always changed Chelsea formation.
At least this is something good for them in the midst of the chaos of the sacking of Tuchel because they managed to bring Potter who is now increasingly making Chelsea more optimal.

Milan was no match for them I couldn't detect the errors in that game for Milan but I know they failed to take those chances at goal, Raphael Leao was un handleable yesterday night, James could not hold him down or stop him.
Using three man backwards and five man midfied locked up the game and they couldn't bend Chelsea so they had to follow through the wing's. Chelsea finally have the first win in the champions league this season and currently having four points. Potter isn't that bad you see

[yudi09]

Group E is getting more and more interesting to follow its development. The problem is that after AC Milan lost 3-0 to Chelsea, the competition to qualify was even tighter.

The four teams in Group E are only 1 point apart from the 3 matches they have played. Salzburg is the team that is ranked 1st with 5 points. While Chelsea and AC Milan who are in second and third position have 4 points. Dinamo Zagreb collected 3 points in fourth place.

I see it only as an effort from the Chelsea team who are improving strategy this season so Chelsea must always work hard and be consistent in every game so as not to fall behind. So I can't fully judge and say Chelsea have been at their best this season, because Chelsea are just improving every single one of their weaknesses at the moment.

Suitable. We can't fully say that the 3-0 win over AC Milan can be said to be the beginning of Chelsea's revival, but it could be the start for coach Graham Potter to form the right strategy with the players owned by Chelsea.
We will see how their next match results when playing at AC Milan headquarters in the next round. Because English teams always have difficulty when dealing with Serie A teams in Italy.

[alpamar99]

An impeccable performance from Chelsea. I was really impressed with the way Chelsea handled Ac Milan. I was expecting Ac Milan to put up with a fight considering their current form in Serie A. But Chelsea outperformed them. I think this Chelsea team is gradually developing into a good form.
They absolutely dominated Ac Milan. With the way they played you could tell that they desperately needed that win to keep hopes of progressing from the group alive and they delivered when it mattered. Let them bring this positive energy to the following games and get back on the winning track.

This is clearly what they have to do because indeed this is the moment when Graham Potter's role is shaken so he needs to do the match that Chelsea has run to the maximum because otherwise the substitution of Tuchel will be considered worse for Chelsea.
And now he is gradually taking Chelsea on a positive track and of course this is something good.
Now they have to be more focused because their position in the Champions League is still not safe and qualify for the knockout phase.

[Pmalek]

I watched the Juventus - Maccabi Haifa match last night and would like to single out two players who were without no doubt the players of the match.

Adrian Rabiot, but not just because of his two goals, which were beautifully executed. Particularly the header for 3:1, which is one of the better ones I have seen in recent years. He ran his ass off yesterday. He was good in attack and in the defensive aspects of the game recovering possession with perfectly-timed sliding tackles.   

The other one is Di Maria who achieved a hattrick of assists. Maccabi's defense allowed plenty of space and Angel took advantage of it all. I do hope that Allegri will manage to pair him up with both Vlahovic and Milik in certain matches because it's a shame to leave Milik on the bench with the way he has played so far. Di Maria's passing capabilities are excellent and he should be given a more free role in attack to move left and right on the pitch.
