UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Jody.Drummer]

Barcelona played very poor football one year past and this season. Xavi didn’t do his job as well.Barcelona have some good player but they didn’t play team combination as well.I Think, Barcelona need to good team management and Coach. Even they didn’t good play football this season in group round in UCL.what do you think, Can Barcelona go to next round?

This season they actually played much better but there are still many problems that must be solved by Xavi Hernandez. The problem is still felt so that it makes it difficult for them to get out of this group stage. They have to be more effective and not waste many chances, because from what I see from their game, Barcelona is still struggling to convert chances into goals. And also the depth of their squad is still not balanced, if their main player can't play it creates a gap that can be exposed by the opponent. So in the upcoming transfer market, Xavi should be able to overhaul the players he currently has.

[fachant]

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.

I also think that FC Barcelona has definitely improved in comparison to last season. Just take Ousmane Dembele for example. In the last few years he always left the impression that he does not care at all if he plays or not or if Barca wins or not, but in this season he really seems extremely motivated and he also shows great performances now. Of course the transfer of Lewandowski also greatly improved their quality in the offense because Lewandowski simply is the best number 9 of the world still in my opinion.
Still it seems like they won't make it to the knockout stage of the Champions League, which is a huge blow and i guess no one would have expected that a few weeks ago.

You are right, Barcelona have improved a lot compared to last season. The team is now strengthened with many new young players joining the team. Ousmane Dembele is playing a great role. And the talk of Lewandowski cannot be finished, he is one of the players who drew against Inter in the last match. But Barcelona has potential in La Liga.

[fachant]

it's good if Barca has to go down to the European league because, to be honest, compared to other teams in group C (Bayern and inter), Barca has a very chaotic defense. Barca's hope to advance to the round of 16 is still there but the chance is only 25%, Inter is unlikely to lose in the next 2 matches and Barca is also unlikely to win smoothly in the next 2 matches. I'm looking forward to Barca's performance at UEL.

No one want to play at UEL if they have a choice to play at UCL lol because every clubs are dream to play at UCL and they want to become the best club in the world. UEL is just an another achievement, at least if they can't play at UCL they can play at UEL.

I'm looking forward to the Barcelona-Bayern game with great interest, not because I believe in Barcelona's comeback, but because it's interesting to see how Bayern will play this game without the motivation to win. I think even in such conditions they can win big.

I don't think Bayern Munich doesn't have any motivation to win against Barcelona, if they lose in this match, Barcelona has a chance to qualify for the next round since Barcelona will play against weak club while Inter Milan need to face Bayern Munich. If Barcelona losing this match, it's a sweet revenge by Bayern Munich since there's no chance for Barcelona to qualify for the next round. Lewandowski will sad here lol.

Because of that, I think Barcelona will try their best to beat Bayern Munich. Because they have no other way to go to the next round. Xavi will want to correct the team's mistakes, while also making changes to the defensive lineup. But now Barcelona are focusing all their players on El Clasico.

Xavi has not stabilized the Barcelona squad yet. Barcelona's defenders are performing very well in La Liga. But their performance against Bayern Munich and Inter in the Champions League is very poor. Without consistency in performance, the team will not be stable.
Barcelona has talented players like Lewandowski, Raphinha and Dembele in their attacking lineup. Even then, Xavi is not able to extract the expected performance from them. Xavi should have experimented more with his team and developed a stable and strong match strategy. I don't think Barcelona's match strategy is good. If the match strategy was good, Barcelona would not have shown such a bad performance in the Champions League.

I'd say getting full points against Bayern Munich is more important for Barcelona than winning El Clasico. Because if Bayern Munich cannot defeat the team, Barcelona will be eliminated in the first round of the Champions League. It is shameful for them. And so I think Xavi will aim to share the points against Real Madrid. And the Barcelona players will perform with the aim of getting the full 3 points in the home match against Bayern Munich. It is a do-or-die match for them.

[Yurkov]

I won't be expecting a huge improvement from Barcelona defense against Bayern Munich. The players wouldn't be very motivated to do so either if Inter finish off Plzen earlier in the day. If you've checked already, Inter - Plzen match is going to be played and end before Barcelona's match starts. In case Inter win that match the dream is over for Barcelona. This will surely come back hard to them in terms of finances as well.

This is all Barcelona's fault in the end as they couldn't stay solid from the beginning. I was pretty sure about them to qualify for next round before the group matches started. I was even thinking about whether they would manage to be the leader at the end. But they are about to visit the Europa League two times in a row now.

it's good if Barca has to go down to the European league because, to be honest, compared to other teams in group C (Bayern and inter), Barca has a very chaotic defense. Barca's hope to advance to the round of 16 is still there but the chance is only 25%, Inter is unlikely to lose in the next 2 matches and Barca is also unlikely to win smoothly in the next 2 matches. I'm looking forward to Barca's performance at UEL.

I also want Barcelona to go to the next round of the Champions League. But for that, Barcelona will have to work hard to win two matches and depend on luck. But if luckily Barcelona go to the next round I think they will do well with confidence.

It is not fair on Barcelona if you say that they played very poor football this season. Barcelona under Xavi has been doing very well starting from the end of last season even up-to-date. It is just that Barcelona did not get it right in the champions league, and what happened to Barcelona can also happen to any other club. All I know is that Barcelona has really improved from their status when they were in financial crisis and still doing well.

Rangers 1:7 Liverpool
I can say that Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp has provoked. It looks as if Klopp has discovered new tactics to win matches. To bench Salah and introduce him in the second half. Salah was a super sub who came in and got 3 straight goals. And another important thing to note is that he was assisted all the three times by Diago Jota. Congratulations to Liverpool.

Rangers dominated the first half. Liverpool couldn't do anything. But things turned around in the second half. Every time they shoot, the ball on target was a goal. This isn't always going to happen.
Firmino was the man of the match because he was the one who unlocked the game. Salah's goals came after the game was already in Liverpool's favor.
No one expected such a score. Too many goals scored in almost all matches played today. Before the Rangers game, the television was playing the Atletico game, but there was no goal in it. I had to watch a very boring 90 minutes. Fortunately, that was somewhat offset by the Rangers vs. Liverpool game.

I agree with your points and want to comment about the players: 1- Firmino is an extraordinary football player, his eye-pleasing game is fascinating. 2- It was good that Salah had a hatrick before the M. City match. 3-H. Elliott got the goal he wanted so much with his good game. 4- Darwin Nunez's poor performance and scoring a goal in this match may cause him to find himself in the future. 5-Gomez makes bad mistakes in every game he plays, but performs well when he comes forward from the right-back. He is a different player 6-Tiago Alcantara he also just got out of injury, he will find himself in the following matches. Result: No matter how many goals Liverpool scores, they definitely lack Mane. I hope Darwin Nunez, who was transferred to replace Mane, finds himself. Otherwise, it will be engraved in our memories as a fiasco transfer.

You're kidding.
If they played the game badly there is no way they are now top of the table in La Liga. If they play badly there is no way they have conceded 20 goals and only conceded 1 goal in the last 8 matches.
The reason they failed in the Champions League apart from the pot they filled in the group was a tough group, they were also faced with the situation of injured players concurrently. It can't be said that their performance is bad this season because this really happened suddenly in the midst of their rising performance.

in my opinion, there is very little chance of Barcelona qualifying for the next round.
Inter Milan's count passes.
* If barcelona wins against Bayern munchen - Inter wins against Victoria, Inter qualify
* Inter lost against Victoria - Barcelona lost against Bayern Munich, Inter qualified
Barcelona's count passes.
Barcelona won 2 matches and Inter lost the remaining 2 matches.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona will not qualify for the next round of the Champions League. They will have to do it again in the Europa League. That was also a big disappointment last season. Atletico Madrid still have some work to do before they advance to the next round. Bruges is long gone and no one expected that. In other groups everything is possible with some groups. Chelsea have recovered very well after the disappointing start with 2 wins over and At AC Milan. Chelsea is not a favorite for me, and not an outsider this season either.

[Pulsar77]

I still see some people being hopeful about Barcelona to make it to next round. It is almost impossible truthfully.    They need a miracle for Inter to lose points against Plzen. Because Plzen have no goal left in the Champions League at this point. It is like there is no way they are stealing any point from Inter in an away match which they couldn't do in their home match. It is better to be realistic as a result. Otherwise I wouldn't like to see a big team like Barcelona in the Europa League of course.

Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Milan and Juventus are other teams that have surprised me so far with their performances. Juventus and Ajax are already close to the Europa League now but there is still hope for the other two.

Their chances can still be maintained if Kounde and Araujo are not absent but when facing Inter in the last 2 matches their midfield and defense are really exposed very badly by Inter even if it can be said that Inter played very well and cleverly took advantage of Barcelona's shortcomings.
Now it's a tough mission and one might say it's quite impossible but we may have to see when Inter and Barcelona play Bayern because if they can beat Bayern it's clear it could be a sure thing whether Barcelona really have to fail or they can turn things around.

Barcelona have little chance to qualify next round and need helped from other team and waiting match result between Inter vs Victoria, beside have to win against Bayern Munich next match but another games Victoria should defeated or get 1 points from Inter, seems not easy because Victoria is the only one team in Group C without get any points until four games.

Statistic for Inter can qualify to next round

• Win against Victoria and not matter what ever match result between Barcelona vs Bayern
• draw against Victoria and Barcelona loss from Bayern or draw
• loss from Victoria and Barcelona loss from Bayern

Possibility for Barcelona qualify to next round if win left 2 match and Inter Milan losing points against Victoria and Bayern Munich, this the only one option if want qualify to next round and most helped from Victoria can defeated Inter next games.

Barcelona has looked difficult to advance to the next round because Barcelona's chances are very slim to qualify for the next round. But when it comes to the coach, I think Xavi is a very good coach for Barcelona and he has also managed to improve the performance of Barcelona which had slumped last season.

However, for the results obtained by Barcelona in the last few matches this season (both in the UCL and in La Liga) it is not the fault of the Barcelona coach, but because Barcelona's defense itself is still not strong enough so that it is easier for Barcelona opponents to score goals into the goal.

The chances of Barcelona progressing past the group stages of the competition are very slim. Xavi is doing well he is trying and so far the team is improving, Barcelona's team performance was worse than this last season so it's actually a relief to see them perform at this level. They just need a little more time to understand themselves I mean the players and get to understand the tactics and style of play and with time they will improve.

[RealMalatesta]

La Liga teams have their hand full. They should focus on La Liga and either the Champions League or Europa League since after covid, soccer matches are tightly packed. Too many strong teams in the Champions League and they also need to commit more which might put La Liga teams behind their local league. There is also World Cup that they should watch out too cause that will take away some of their best players.

From that viewpoint, I don't have high hope for Barcelona to get a good score against Bayern in the upcoming match or go far in the Champions League.

Barcelona already do not have a chance at Champions league, they may go towards Europa and maybe do something about it but that's about it, we shouldn't really focus on anything that they could possibly do anymore.

It's better to focus on la liga and win there. Real however doing fine, they are still quite good, do not expect Benzema to do anything right now, last year he was good during group games too but his big games came from the fact that he scored a lot of goals during meaningful games and that's what mattered. I feel like if they face people at knock off rounds, they will be doing better. Only team from la liga that may still win it in the end.

I think atletico and juventus are the most surprising results so far, we all have seen how milan are performing in the european competitiond and in a group with chelsea and salsburg two experienced teams in the champions league i was kinda expecting them to have big trouble, still milan and atletico has a great chance to make it to the next phase.

[Furious 7]

Statistic for Inter can qualify to next round

• Win against Victoria and not matter what ever match result between Barcelona vs Bayern
• draw against Victoria and Barcelona loss from Bayern or draw
• loss from Victoria and Barcelona loss from Bayern

All they need is to play well against Plzen and hope Barcelona don't play well and losing to Bayern is enough in this match.
Actually, regardless of anything they are quite comfortable because their opponent is Plzen can be said to be the weakest club in this group so they just need to show the same performance as against Barcelona which is already very good in my opinion.

Juventus really has bad performance in UCL, they can only make 1 victory and lost 3 times. There are only two matches reminding and I don't think they can make it good. moreover, they will face PSG at the end of the round match. This will be a hard and tough match to win.
So does Atletico Madrid. Porto is a quite good club that has performed well enough so far. But, the result is still unpredictable moreover because Atletico Madrid sometimes plays unpredictably worse.

Chelsea have recovered very well after the disappointing start with 2 wins over and At AC Milan. Chelsea is not a favorite for me, and not an outsider this season either.

At this time, maybe we have to accept that they have to fail again for the second time and they have to fight extra so that in the Europa League they won't be eliminated like last season because it would be a shame for them to fail again and again there.
But indeed this season it looks like there will be other big teams that follow for the Europa League although now it is certain that Ajax and Barcelona are there but it is possible that other big clubs will follow.
