UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[lalabotax]

I'm pretty sure Napoli will top the table in Group A. Because this team has been able to maintain consistent good performance in both Serie A and Champions League. Liverpool have won two out of three matches, but their performance has not been stable yet. If Ajax manage to beat Liverpool in their next home match, it will be difficult for Liverpool to qualify for the next round.

Of course, Napoli is the most stable club in group A, they maintain their good performance so far. No doubt that Napoli seems to finish the group stage by leading group A. Napoli has played 3 matches in this group stage, they won all the matches with big scores. It simply showed us that Napoli has a better quality of players and their players have stronger motivation to win. Considering this situation, Napoli should finish the group stage as the leader of group A.

If Ajax manage to beat Liverpool in their next home match, it will be difficult for Liverpool to qualify for the next round.

At the moment Napoli clearly have the upper hand, 3 wins definitely put them at ease in this regard but obviously it is still not certain to be the top as there is still a second meeting for each team and of course Liverpool and Ajax will not make this as easy as the match first.
It would be great if they could play again like this but if not then indeed they just need to maximize the draw then I think this is enough to take them to the next phase.

Anything can happen in Group B. There we see 3 teams with all 3 points. So Atletico still have every chance to continue. You would not expect Club Brugge to be at the top with 9 points from 3 matches. Nice for Belgian football, they really haven't achieved any appealing successes in international football in a club for a long time. The next round has more or less already been achieved. It must be very strange if Club Brugge does not qualify for the next round. I also didn't expect Napoli to win everything in this tough group with Liverpool and Ajax.

Most people were expecting Atletico Madrid and Porto to qualify from the group but now things have got really interesting. Now these teams are both having a worrying run in the group matches. Porto have newly got their win against Leverkusen. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid lost their last two matches by not scoring a single goal. There are still three weeks in the group stage of course. There is an equality in points among Leverkusen and those two teams in the end.

But one thing is pretty clear indeed that Club Brugge would finish the stage at the first position. Depending on their opponent in last 16 round they might even qualify for quarter finals. Because they are very consistent in the Champions League just as they are in the Jupiler League.

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.

The game was as good as Draw, but Zagreb's mistake made it worst that have let Salzberg take that opportunity away from them, and Moharrami clumsily brought down Ulmar thus the penalty kick have given to Salzberg, a mistake Moharrami will not forget because it cost them to draw the game, but again a draw is also great than with a win over Salzberg,

But in this case, with a win from Salzburg, it is clear that the competition in Group E is becoming more and more interesting. Their points are only 1 to two for the 4 in this group and obviously this is something that is difficult to predict who will be able to advance to the next round.
Currently Chelsea are on the rise and not only in the EPL in the Champions League they are doing this and of course Milan also has a big chance to qualify for the knockouts.

Manchester city are the first favourite, they are playing on another dimension ever since Erling Haaland was signed,then there is real Madrid who has history, experience and luck in this competition then we have Bayern Munich.

The supporters of Manchester city have high hopes for Haaland hoping that he will be the one to help break pep's champions League curse. I think it is possible as well judging from how well he has settled into the team. Manchester city going against any other team have a high chance to win because they have always been a goal scoring chance creating team and with the addition of  Haaland, who can convert like 8 in 10 chances created, i don't see any team being able to stop them, except their own over confidence.

Yes, so far no one has really been able to break Haaland movement or all of Man City front lines. This time Pep Guardiola has a very ideal formation and it is always the most effective formation with any opponent. Haaland glory is starting and this season can be a hope that can be realized if Pep and his main squad can be consistent with each other. The Champions League has always been open to Man City. Maybe this season, Man City fans believe that the current achievements can give extraordinary results.

Haaland is one of the most shining players this season maybe even for the big European leagues he is one of the most shining players in terms of performance.
It's really difficult when players of Haaland's caliber are added to City's current condition, it is indeed for the opposing players to stop their movements and almost can't.
With Haaland's Brace against Copenhagen, he is level with Lewandowski and Mbappe at the top of the Champions League top scorers with 3 goals.

Manchester City is the leading team to win the Champions League title this season in addition to Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid and several others. But I don't expect it to satisfy the players, there's still a long way to go but of course it's a possibility.

Quite funny that the English media keeps fronting Manchester City every season as favourites even when they have won nothing in the UCL in their history, yet they don't even count on Real Madrid who are the reigning and record 14 times UCL champions. Total disrespect is all I say.

I was glad Madrid made them eat their words last season, I hope it happens again

This is something that is definitely done especially when it comes to the British media because if I'm not mistaken last season was like this too

But indeed for now, especially for the group phase, Manchester City are playing very well with a goal productivity that is quite crazy because they scored 11 goals and only conceded 1 goal from 3 matches that were run.

Chelsea will have a lot to celebrate as they grab their first win in the champions league and Graham Potter can breathe a sigh of relief as his boys were able to beat AC Milan black and blue, dominating either half.
 Personally, I expected that with AC Milan lineups, there would have been a tug of war, but as of previous games their performance has not been up to par

With this win surely Chelsea's morale has been lifted and hopefully they can score more goals when they return for the second leg at Ac Milan's ground on the 11th.

The scheme that Pioli did in this match was fully read by Potter and it is certain that when something like this happens it will be difficult to change their situation.
Giroud found it difficult to find space and Leao also couldn't move freely when faced with players from Chelsea which made it difficult even if we look at the final statistics of the game, only 1 shot on target that Milan managed to get throughout this match.

If we look at the match statistics, it is clear that Chelsea dominated and created more chances. Then Chelsea also attacked very effectively,
so Chelsea could score 3 goals, besides that Chelsea's defense played very disciplined. So Chelsea really deserved to win, what's interesting is
that Potter can read Pioli's strategy well, so AC Milan's players have difficulty building attacks. Even AC Milan's star players like Giroud and Leao
couldn't do much, because Chelsea's defense played very solidly. Chelsea's victory, made their chances of qualifying from the group phase open again.
If we look at Chelsea's performance which has continued to improve since Potter replaced Tuchel, it looks like the steps taken by Chelsea's
management were right by sacking Tuchel and replacing him with Potter.

Chelsea should have scored at least 5 though.

There is two crucial save made by ttatarusanu, despite he conceded 3 goals ... he is playing really well , just too unfortunate that the whole player in chelsea squad were on fire .. from the man of the match reece james to the milan ex thiago silva, we will see that potter is the better one later , it's only a couple matches tho.

True true , but let's be honest and admit that maybe this year they can do it but I personally see PSG with more chances to win UCL this year just because Messi seems to be in a good form when it comes to assists. City have Haaland that can strike from any angle and it has a deadly shot as well but yea , media are just doing their part and trying to put more pressure on City to win UCL because Pep has like what ...5 years already with City ? So the pressure is getting bigger and bigger on City to win ucl

I was also quite surprised to see this result when I woke up in the morning, LOL. I thought Chelsea would win but not by such a big score. Judging from the match stats, they deserved 3 goals and AC Milan deserved not to score a single goal. BTW, finally Fofana managed to show his quality and also Aubameyang's transfer to Chelsea also looks promising.

You know, I thought at that time that Chelsea would be lost to Milan 
Fortunately, I didn't put any bet on it, I really underestimated that club 
Yeah, but Fofana seemed to like having an injury because f that match, Hopefully, that's not really serious.
Actually in that match, besides Chelsea that did play very well, Milan also turned out to have made a lot of mistakes and they also struggled to develop the game. This could be quite a valuable lesson for Milan in the next leg against Chelsea again.

[WalkerIVIV]

About Napoli, they could very well end up at the top of the group. We can also include the mediocre form of Liverpool. I don't think Napoli has been as good in the last 10 years as this season. They make a big impression and have played Ajax snatches on all parts of the turf. Liverpool also lost hard. In principle, Ajax is out with Rangers, but Liverpool can also lose points. It could be that it is still between Ajax and Rangers, but then Ajax has to win everything, also when away in Naples. Haaland really makes a great impression. He doesn't have great technique, but he's always in the right place.

The competition becomes even very strict at this moment. Napoli has been doing so well in the champion league compared with another club like liverpool which is still struggling with its performance. Im sure rangers will not able to be qualified but it seems like the remaining competition between liverpool and ajax. Ajax must win against liverpool and got points from napoli and ranger to make its club able to go to the next stage

It is true that Chelsea could have scored 5 goals if Ciprian Tatarusanu had not made an important save in that match. Even though as you
said Tatarusanu managed to make 2 important saves, still conceding 3 goals is not something that makes Tatarusanu happy. I also want to
see Chelsea's performance in the remaining 3 games in the Champions League. Even though Chelsea are currently in second place in Group E,
their position is still not safe. But now Chelsea's chances are big enough to qualify for the next round, the important thing is that Chelsea can
focus on winning the remaining 3 matches. Chelsea should be able to do that, seeing the quality of Chelsea's players is actually better than
the other three teams in Group E. It's just a matter of how Potter can play an effective strategy.

This situation is the same as a year ago when The City and PSG have to favorite to be champions. But, all result hasn't expected, at the end of the league, all people didn't calculate the power of real Madrid which mean, they are careless, take them for granted, and don't see the Lion. I still doubt Man City and PSG will this year even has the best player and top scorer because both don't have a winning mentality in Champion League like other clubs.

City and PSG are in their best form and their ultimate target this season is the champions league. PSG have Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, one of the most disastrous frontline in Ligue one and also the champions league and City keep pushing for the UEFEA trophy but let's see what Pep Guardiola have to offer to the club this season. The champions league is meant for the best among the best, not going to be an easy run-up for any team that would lift the trophy.

The best performance from city gives club guaratee to be among the top clubs in champion league. The only problem is city with its good performance may able to be defeated by another club. It's caused by city must compete with best teams in the world. There's a chance for city to lose against another club. I doubt that if city can win against those big club easily. We know that if city will always be struggling once it will meet big club in champion league. I doubt that if city will able to win champion league title for this season. We have bayern, real madrid, PSG and so many big teams.

They are exactly the same teams from last year that were fighting for the victory in the Champions League.
In fact, I think this year there are even fewer teams as strong as last year. And it looks like we'll have more surprises.

In the case of PSG, something tells me that the same thing will happen as in other years, if they catch a Bayer, for example, they won't be able to win. And if Real Madrid reach the final, they will win again.

The markings given by the Chelsea midfielders to the likes of Leao, Krunic and De Ketelaere clearly frustrated these players and as a result the supply for Giroud was hampered in this match.
Potter has experience in defensive strategies against big teams at Brighton so it is not too difficult for them to do the same in this match especially the quality of the Chelsea players of course better and more adequate than Brighton.
Hope to qualify now exists but there are still several possibilities because considering the current situation their position is still not safe.

But in my opinion, it would be a mistake to equate PSG and Manchester City. Manchester City's form is way ahead of PSG's. They have won most of the league matches they have played. But PSG also drew with lesser teams which is not acceptable. I can say as Manchester City's form, they will win the Champions League this time.
