UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City I think this will be a less interesting match, because Manchester City have confirmed that they will occupy a place in the knockout round. While Borussia Dortmund only needs to get 1 more point to qualify for the next phase. Manchester City will be more comfortable in this match and will not spend a lot of energy. I think it's time for Pep Guardiola to rotate his players and rest some of his players. Yes, he can do that to take advantage of this great opportunity in this match.

Of course, but I think about prestige. Manchester City do not want to be humiliated by Dortmund so they must avoid defeat as much as possible, and the same seems to be achieved by Dortmund at home. Manchester City will play it safe, but Dortmund must ensure points to qualify for Manchester City from Group G. Manchester City are also safe to rotate players including not playing Haaland, but I hope it is not a match that is taken lightly by Guardiola considering the fans want to watch a great match.

Salzburg vs Chelsea might be more interesting, especially Milan also has the opportunity to get 3 points from Dinamo Zegreb who will play at his home. Group E matches are still interesting until the end, unless Milan lose to Dinamo Zegreb.

Yes of course although this is not a very important match for Manchester City but they also don't want to lose in this match. They will target a draw in my opinion, so will Borussia Dortmund. They will play it safe, that's the reason why I say it won't be an interesting match. But I also hope that my prediction is wrong, and they will continue to play hard with each other, so that the match will be more interesting than what I predicted.

But I also hope that my prediction is wrong, and they will continue to play hard with each other, so that the match will be more interesting than what I predicted.

Manchester City are very focused on the match against Liverpool rather than against Dortmund. I mean, the result of the Premier League match will be more important than thinking about the result of the Champions League against Dortmund. So because the match against Liverpool will be very tiring, rotation is needed to restore the condition of the players.

Because Manchester City are now safe to qualify for the next round, then you may be right that the match is no longer interesting to look forward to. Manchester City only need to maintain their unbeaten run in that match, so it's safe to draw.

Atletico Madrid are still the same. They had a huge problem on qualifying from their group last season as you know. They hardly managed to make it by the last group games. It looks like the same scenario might happen once again. But this time they might not be able to do the same. The remaining games are against Leverkusen (H) and Porto (A). They lost to Leverkusen by 2-0 before and they were able to beat Porto barely by scoring goals in the last minutes.

They are performing much worse in the Champions League compared to the La Liga. They need to win against Leverkusen next time and wait for Porto to lose points against Club Brugge in Belgium. In this case they can capture a big advantage. Otherwise they will have a more difficult task in the last games again.

Atletico Madrid is in a bad position really. They didnt win against Club Brugge and they had so many chances and this now causes really big problems for them. Porto with the win now has an amazing chance to qualify while Leverkusens form is really bad and their chances are very slim, i dont see them qualifying.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona on the edge of the Champions League. The Blaugrana are in danger of being relegated to the Europa League. Actually Barcelona set a target to continue to advance in the Champions League, this is of course not without reason, they actually want to increase the club's income only from the Champions League. If they fail and enter the Europa League, they will certainly regret the loss of their huge revenue target.

I'm going to put aside the financial targets you talk about Barcelona, ​​even if they want to get it then I don't think that's the main thing why they have to compete in the Champions League. Barcelona are a top team in Laliga, their target is the title but things have not gone well so far.

The competitive of the teams in the group has made Barcelona only managed to get 1 point from 9 points contested in the last 3 matches. As a result, their chances of being in the last 16 are getting small which may have made me pessimistic about that. Barcelona certainly hasn't given up, they will fight regardless of their success or failure in the next 2 matches.

I think that it is quite early to talk about the Dortmund - Manchester City match already now. Because there are still around two weeks to go for that match. On the other hand, Manchester City are going to face Liverpool in less than two days. Hence there shouldn't be such thing as being tired for their Champions League match after leaving this one behind.

Considering this space in the Champions League, I expect Manchester City to completely focus on their Liverpool match. Guardiola even rested Haaland against Copenhagen just to make sure about him to be completely ready for the match. I saw some people thinking that he wouldn't be able to play as they didn't see him against Copenhagen. But there is no such thing as he isn't injured now. Guardiola did the right thing because he might have got injured which would be the last thing Guardiola would like to see.

ATM doesn't have a chance in Champions League even if they could move beyond the group stage. Better to go for Europa League, so they could stand a chance to win the title.
In La Liga they are trying to pick a CL spot, that's the best they can do although they can do better..

[indah rezqi]

ATM doesn't have a chance in Champions League even if they could move beyond the group stage. Better to go for Europa League, so they could stand a chance to win the title.

3 Laliga teams are likely to fail to qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season and they include Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. I really didn't expect it to happen to all three teams especially Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Now only Real Madrid as defending champions have the chance to reach the last 16 in the Champions League. It's not funny, but it's surprising.

So if the three teams above fail in the end then they will go to the Europa League for a other worth it competition, maybe.

[borovichok]

Everyone are saying how Barcelona is this and that, how they are not competitive enough, how they are supposed to qualify with Bayern Munich to the next round, forgetting that this group is the group of death, it's the most difficult group among all the group, we are just talking as if inter Milan doesn't deserve to play in this next round, or that inter Milan are a small team like Victoria Plzen, for goodness sake inter Milan are the giant of Italian league right now and Barcelona are not the Barcelona of old that has Messi,neymar,Suarez,iniesta so they are in the level in reality with inter Milan right now and is only one that can qualify for the next round.

[RealMalatesta]

Barca and Juventus are basically out of the cup.

Barcelona will probably go in Europa League, while Juventus if they continue on this path they go out of the Euro cups competently.

Well, Barcelona still has a chance of getting out of the group. Now, however, not everything depends on Barcelona and we have to rely on Inter, but theoretically Inter should not lose, and Barcelona will try to win. Therefore, leaving the group from the 2nd place is still quite real.

Yes, Barcelona only hopes for a miracle, Inter lose to Viktoria Plzen, and Barcelona must win against Munich. I must also admit that the loss of Kounde and Araujo greatly affected the coordination at the back, because they both played very solidly, Barcelona had to be calmer every time they got a chance, they were often impatient. I hope there's still hope of getting away, even if it's small.

That is not going to happen, but if I am not wrong there is also the fact that Inter could lose to plzen and Bayern together, keeping them at 7 points, so if Barcelona wins against Plzen and draw against Bayern they still go up. Not that Inter would lose, of course they won't, they will lose to Bayern for sure, but will beat Plzen, which means they will finish with 10 points.

It means Barcelona needs to beat Bayern and Plzen, which will make them 10 points too, I don't remember if it is home/away scoring calculation between teams or is it goals scored/conceded calculation in UCL, but in both cases it is quite unlikely that Barcelona will go up, doubt that.

[SatoPrincess]

There is no point in discussing Barcelona because I am sure they will be eliminated Inter Milan and Bayern Munich will go to the next stage
The same thing as Juventus who ended up only collecting 3 points from 4 matches while Atletico Madrid and Milan still have a chance but they have to win in all matches
Many surprises in the Champions League this season several big teams were eliminated earlier.

Not really surprise with Barcelona have eliminated early because last season facing the same problem can't reach to knock out group after failure in the same group with Bayern Munich and Benfica success lead to next round. Again not lucky for Barcelona in this season have the same group with Bayern and Inter Milan, loss head to head from Inter have almost close chance to qualify on next round. Two weeks later match between Inter vs Victoria Plzen is another helped for Barcelona if Inter fail to win but Barcelona need to win from Bayern.

Not easy hope at other games actually with Plzen have bad record in Champion League loss in four games, I think could focus on domestic league for Barcelona because can't talk more at champion league exactly in group stage.

Well, I am surprised because with the numerous signings the club made in the summer I expected a much better performance this season especially in the Champions league competition. I can't believe I actually voted Barcelona as my favorites to win the champions league this season or atleast be playing in the finals but my expectations seem to have being cut short already in the group stage. Hopefully they will pick up at some point in the league.

Yes they did a lot of signing but until the coach harmonizes all of them to create a perfect harmony,a perfect team it was expected for them that they would not be playing finals in the Champions League but I also did not expect them to perform this bad since already in the group stages,that leaves a lot to think.

They will now have all the time in the world as in the Europa League where they will go they are of better quality than most other teams competing there so I expect to see a perfect Barcelona in this competition and why not the winner of it.

[terrorJR]

Barcelona will still bounces back to top the group this season and qualify for the next round, as you rightly said, this group stage a the knockout stage, and most clubs will find it difficult to qualify for the next stage. But am sure Baca will be among the tea that will qualify.

You're kidding, Even if the chance is still there but this is very difficult and likely impossible to do unless they can win in their last 2 matches and Inter can't win even once and the problem is Inter are clearly superior to Plzen although indeed for Bayern it is clear they still have a chance but Plzen here is the weakest opponent and Barcelona or Inter can win in my opinion.

[Zackgeno96]

I think it will also be quite difficult for Barcelona to qualify. I don't know exactly what the criteria are, do they look at goal difference or mutual results? Mutual result is a lost cause anyway. Barcelona could certainly beat Bayern Munich at home, but Inter Milan will play the next round at home against Viktoria Pilzen, who have lost everything so far. Then Inter Milan should not win, and Barcelona should win at home against Bayern Munich. But let's be realistic, what are the chances that Inter Milan won't beat Pilzen at home? I think 5%

So if the three teams above fail in the end then they will go to the Europa League for a other worth it competition, maybe.

My hopes are in Barcelona and Madrid for this season because it is clear from the conditions of Atletico and Sevilla that they are different and have decreased in form, but it seems that my hopes must also be dashed for Barcelona because now the conditions are very difficult for them and it can be said that maybe they have now. step into the Europa League.
Winning the last 2 matches against Bayern and Plzen is definitely not an easy matter especially for Bayern.
They always lose to this team so even in this second meeting I am quite pessimistic that they can turn defeat into victory.

Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City I think this will be a less interesting match, because Manchester City have confirmed that they will occupy a place in the knockout round. While Borussia Dortmund only needs to get 1 more point to qualify for the next phase. Manchester City will be more comfortable in this match and will not spend a lot of energy. I think it's time for Pep Guardiola to rotate his players and rest some of his players. Yes, he can do that to take advantage of this great opportunity in this match.

Well this can happen because if you look at City's previous match against Copenhagen there were several players who were reserved because they were comfortable enough and didn't need another win to qualify.
Even this match looks like it will still be the same especially when City will face Liverpool and after that it is clear that there must be more rest for the core players to be more fit. on the other hand I think Pep will also do some experiments against Dortmund because seeing the match against Copenhagen they have some new drafts that can be used as reserves when their initial scheme doesn't go well.

[Velvet78]

Juventus are just another big team that are disappointing their supporters these days. It is nearly impossible for them to finish the group stage as the 2nd at worst. If they can't even beat Maccabi Haifa in both games then what team they are going to beat in this tournament?

I don't think that they would take the Europa League seriously. But it actually depends on how much successful they will be in the Serie A. If they can't finish in top 4 then they will need the Europa League title to join the Champions League again.

Juventus has always been a good club with its magnificence; despite the fact that they've lost severally to clubs they shouldn't, the are still cool by me.
They've claimed the seria- A trophy severally and if they are getting into thier worst form now, then I don't have anything to worry about cus I know for sure; the main thing that matters to a good club is the game play. If there could be a Reformation -- cus atleast, since Ronaldo left the club, the haven't been some sub- ordinant measures to patch in the loop holes -- then I guess the team will flourish back, just as before.

Massimiliano Allegri remains the coach and has had an amazing experience during his play time so I just hope things would improve for the better.

Allegri might be in danger of losing his job in the team honestly. They are out of the race in the group by the fourth game already and this is really horrible. Maybe Juventus board still seem to be believing in him but I'm not very sure about that. Because if they don't do much in the Serie A as well then I think that they would start looking for an alternative in the summer. I don't expect a manager change before the summer unless they find an opportunity to sign a big name.

Juventus have been like this really since the day Ronaldo left. I don't know if it's related to his existence though. Because they weren't amazing while having Ronaldo as well. But at least they were better in the Champions League.

Anxiety about this can affect the performance of players with unprofessional managers putting this in emotions when training, this can damage Juventus, I am more sure that the game should not be under pressure from the word sack so that the best performance.

[rojan]

I think it will also be quite difficult for Barcelona to qualify. I don't know exactly what the criteria are, do they look at goal difference or mutual results? Mutual result is a lost cause anyway. Barcelona could certainly beat Bayern Munich at home, but Inter Milan will play the next round at home against Viktoria Pilzen, who have lost everything so far. Then Inter Milan should not win, and Barcelona should win at home against Bayern Munich. But let's be realistic, what are the chances that Inter Milan won't beat Pilzen at home? I think 5%

Barcelona have played very poorly in some matches.  But I hope Barcelona will do better in future matches.  But Barcelona players are trying to play better than before.  So now the matches they don't win, they have to suffer. I think Barcelona is a strong team.  They have good quality players. And the goal keeper they have is very good in almost every match.

[X-ray]

The performance by juventus is quite stagnant. It was always getting bad result even anything has been done by its coach. The only chance for juventus to sacked allegri and change its coach with a better coach that can handle the team perfectly. People are feeling disappointed with the decision from the team. allegri is not capable anymore to be a coach for juventus. Juventus needs to take it seriously before the team will get more damage from losing even more in the upcoming matches.
If there's nothing being done and this may affect the play style from juventus as well. That means if this time juventus needs more than a miracle to change the performance from the team.

Simply put, you can compare Inter and Bayern Munich, I'm sure all of you will agree Bayern Munich is better than Inter. Now, Barcelona still can't beat Inter when Barcelona play at home and even, Inter can equalize the goal with the final result is 3-3. Barcelona are very weak at this moment and with a result like that, you still believe Barcelona will beat Bayern Munich? playing at home will not help Barcelona to win because Barcelona have been eliminated.
