UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

If it came down to player quality, PSG would have won it in the last few years because they had better players than other teams. The previous years' winners have taught us that the trophy is won through teamwork, not how many quality players you have on your team. Manchester City, without a doubt, has champions league experience, but they must understand that winning the champions league is not a one-man show; they are relying heavily on Halaand this season, which is not a good idea. Tbh.

I don't seem to agree if you think Manchester City are very dependent on Haaland. It's true Haaland has scored a lot of goals for Manchester City, but I think that's his job as a striker. Other players can also score goals such as Foden, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez or De Bruyne, but Haaland is a target man in the Manchester City squad especially in attack.

For this season, my hero remains at Real Madrid regardless of which team is considered a good candidate to win. Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich or any team are good but about the title I want Real Madrid to defend it.

With the presence of Erling Haaland in the team I will be expecting Manchester City to win the champions league this season or the next season. At this point they have everything they need to win the trophy, they have very talented and experienced players, the have one of the best coaches, a lethal striker who can score many goals and they possess good team work so the team is good enough to win the trophy.

this is the opportunity for manchester city to take advantage of their moment with Erling Haaland able to establish himself to win the champions league this season after failing last season because of real madrid, this is a good time to show the quality of Manchester City's game and at least they beat Madrid, Munich and PSG to be able to increase confidence in winning the champions league this season

Bayern Munich and Barcelona are two  differen team with different work load. When Lewandowski was in Bayern Munich I don't think the pressure he was facing there can be compared to what is in Barcelona.  Bayern Munich used to be the strongest team in the Bundesliga league,  and with no tough competitors.  If Lewandowski is not doing more in Barcelona I won't blame him because Barcelona is competing with more tough teams than Bayern Munich.

I beg to differ though, Bayern Munich has tough competitors, the readiness of other teams and how they respond to every match against Bayern is subjective to people, just the way people prefer to watch Premier League and Champions League than any other leagues and of course, players also influence the viewers and fans base, just imagine the number of players who became PSG fans because of Messi and Ronaldo when he moves back to Manchester United from Juventus.
The problem with most of the clubs is that they don't even know the potential of these players until they sell them, that's when players switch into beasts that they haven't displayed in their previous clubs, take a look at Lewandoski's moves from Bayern Munich to Barcelona, Haaland from Dortmund to Manchester City.

Look let's be so sincere, this season Pep has adjusted his formation to focus more Haaland. Take the game against Copenhagen as an example, the team was totally off. Look again at there game against Liverpool in EPL, immediately Haaland was pocketed by the Liverpool defence the entire Man City team were off in that match.

Although man City have truly established a fantastic team this season but with Pep at there dugout i don't fancy them winning because he usually bottles it when it matters most. He had an excellent squad during his stint at Bayern Munich, he had the likes of Lewa, Robben and Ribery who were on there prime and he still bottled it. I hope he proves me wrong this time and break the jinx

It's not so much about how many goals he's scored as it is about how the team is playing. Right now, the team is built around Halaand, he gets all of the first passes in the third half of the field, he's the target man, and every other player plays for him. Everything is going well right now, but what happens when he gets injured or loses form? He shot blank in the previous game, and the team lost.

From the previous few seasons also in terms of players they did not always fail but the problem was in terms of performance.
The momentum is now very big, but as long as they play like before when they faced Madrid too relaxed because they were ahead at that time it had to be changed for this season.
Last season when against Madrid they always excelled in terms of matches but their concentration was dissipated when time was about to end and things like this must be anticipated because it is not impossible for the same thing to happen again.

Look again at there game against Liverpool in EPL, immediately Haaland was pocketed by the Liverpool defence the entire Man City team were off in that match.

No need, I watched the match from the start and I think Haaland can still get away from close guard and he can get some shots and headers mostly saved by Allison. So I guess we don't need to argue about something that we both really see right. Liverpool's defense and goalkeeper were good in that match, but they were lucky because Manchester City were caught off guard in defense which allowed them to concede on the counter-attack.

It's not so much about how many goals he's scored as it is about how the team is playing. Right now, the team is built around Halaand, he gets all of the first passes in the third half of the field, he's the target man, and every other player plays for him.

I don't think you're wrong, but that's how strategy should be. Strikers play an important role in scoring goals, and every midfielder and winger will probably send a pass to the striker for a goal. So many teams do it but really I don't argue for Manchester City while I'm a Real Madrid fan.

The presence of Erling Haaland has added to the confidence of the Manchester City squad, they have a pure striker who is hungry for goals. It's true they must take advantage of this momentum which is their best momentum to win the Champions League trophy. But this is the Champions League which has a very tight competition, especially if they meet again with real Madrid, it will be their biggest threat. Because last season it was also Real Madrid who failed them in the fight for the title. They even had to be hit by a deadly comeback from the El Real squad.

I think Manchester City will go far in this season champions, and the possibility of winning it is not impossible,they have a great squad and have been playing together for long, now they Erling Haaland who is a deadly finisher,he has been scoring goals for fun in the hardest league in the world and the amazing thing about it is that is his debut session and he is also scoring in the champions League,he just give Manchester city that extra edge, yea I agree they are strong opposition in the champions League,teams like Madrid who are always the favourite in this competition.

You said great. Manchester City is playing really well. I enjoy watching them play. But I thought beating Manchester City was not that easy. But Liverpool played well against them. If Manchester City meet Liverpool or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, it is doubtful whether City will go to the final or not.

I agree Man City this year will be in the UCL final. Apart from being good at finding space, Haaland is supported by a manager who is a genius in giving instructions and colleagues who are good at supplying the ball, and it's really useless if the striker is good at finding space but his teammates are not good at giving the ball and vice versa it will be useless if his teammate smart to give the ball but the striker can't find space so they complement each other so they don't get injured too for Haaland and keep consistent.

[Distraction]

I see people are talking about Manchester City for the Champions League title this season mostly. I don't see anyone even mentioning PSG but I still understand that. Because PSG have seemed interesting on the recent weeks of the tournament. I mean that they couldn't beat even Benfica in both matches. I wouldn't like to underestimate Benfica but they are not as strong as PSG in the end. I would have expected to see PSG winning in their home match at least.

This started to make me doubt their performance after the group stage. The trio must focus on their game completely otherwise they might have another disappointment by being eliminated earlier than they expected just as it happened last season. For now, Manchester City seem the closest team to the title considering the performances.

Benzema became one of the legendary players to be remembered with Real Madrid. He proved this with the Ballon D'or he bought. Last year, he became a football player who left his mark on world football. He totally deserved the award. Despite the maturity of his age, he left behind an incredible season. Not everyone can experience a season like this at this age. I expect him to make his mark in the champions league this year as well.

He is always been a legendary player, after he manages to bring Real Madrid back to the brink of death, that was one tremendous change he brought to the fans of Football especially Real Madrid, Karim Benzema is an inspiration to all and I really think that they have a hard time in group F and at least they manage to push through UEFA championship,

From the previous few seasons also in terms of players they did not always fail but the problem was in terms of performance.

The lack of focus seems to be the problem for them instead of giving their 100% in the match they tend to be lacking focus when they know that they are in the lead, and that has cost them the Liverpool match, even though they have a 100% Erling Halland they still manage to lose, that is sure 1 humiliating match-up,

The presence of Erling Haaland has added to the confidence of the Manchester City squad, they have a pure striker who is hungry for goals.

Because last season it was also Real Madrid who failed them in the fight for the title. They even had to be hit by a deadly comeback from the El Real squad.

This Season we still haven't seen Man City VS Real Madrid and it could be a good opportunity how good really is Erling Halland, and if he can take on Karim Benzema, that would be a promising match that I want to see, especially now that Manchester City have Erling Halland, Although they have a humiliating failure against Liverpool on their last game, it could be a mistake on their part,

Even though the chances are quite strong, but things like this are still uncertain because in the knockout phase they are still not sure who they will meet, not to mention getting closer to the end, it is clear that there are more and more strong clubs.
It would be better if they continue to play like this so that it doesn't reduce their chances of continuing to be favorites in the Champions League/.

Paris Saint Germans ? Screw them aside please, a team that still haven't solve player's behavior on the pitch, no coordination aside from Messi and the midfielder's still over reliant on Messi and Neymar Jr for creativity.
I'm pretty cool with Manchester City winning the Champions League, Pep Guardiola is a top Man ( The Perfectionists ) they did very well to reach the finals but Real Madrid couldn't help but drop and humble those player's back to play the premier league. Lol.

It'll make lots of sense if another club can win the Ballon d'or from the Premier League, last player that did that was Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United during his good old days at Manchester United. I'd love to see Erling Haaland as the next Ballon d'or award winner.

There is no doubt that Manchester City will get to the finals of the Champions League and they are also the strongest contenders for the title. You can see it in their team they are so strong and determined to face any team in the world.
They were also as strong as this last season, the difference is the Halaand addition to the team. Manchester City is the Ballon d'or team of the year and they are also going to maintain the award but this time around as the Champions League tittle winners if possible.

He has been a cornerstone for Madrid in recent seasons so many expect him to always play well and indeed last season was Benzema's most brilliant season.
Right now after the Injury he is struggling a bit but it's good that their young players are more mature now because when Benzema is struggling to score goals at the moment there are Rodrygo, Vini, Valverde and even Asensio who are options.

Once you have signed a contract, you are bound by it. Lewandowski was obligated to play another year at Bayern, but he launched a media campaign to pressure the club to let him go before his contract expired. It was stupid blackmail and unprofessional behavior.
The result of the group stage looks all the more beautiful now: Bayern go to the playoffs, and Lewandowski, together with Barcelona, is sent to the Europa League.

Regardless of what was done, it has passed and Bayern have also had the advantage of the sale, so there is nothing for Lewandowski to regret.
He had already decided to move so there really was no other reason for him to feel sorry now because this was his choice.
All he has to do is focus on Barcelona although indeed the current slump to the Europa League is the biggest opportunity for them.

It is clear that it is impossible to change the past and we must look forward. But I think you will agree that Barcelona is close to being titleless this season and it will be a very unusual situation for Lewandowski as he is used to getting at least the German championship every season + scoring a lot of Champions League goals until the late stages tournament. Given Lewandowski's age, I don't think he won't regret that one of the last years of his great career went like this.

This is the worst possibility but indeed it can still happen because indeed their Champions League is almost certain to leave and their Europa League which is always seeded like last season is experiencing bitterness, not to mention La Liga is Madrid's place for several seasons so it's a chance without a title it's still quite haunting.
Apart from Lewandowski this is also bad for Barcelona because as we know they are like a gamble this season by spending a lot of money in hopes of trophies and if that doesn't happen then it's a loss again and again they have to accept.

Erling Haaland doing amazing job for Manchester City and with this they are surely at their best run in Champions League but still this is not guaranteed that they could be winner or having chance of going into final because any bad day can send them to home in knockout stages as soccer is unpredictable game and teams have good and bad days in any game right now they are having quality players but in coming matches when they are going to face big teams which are also filled with same quality players things could be in different way.

Currently, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Napoli are on their best which can create tough challenges for them at any stage right now we have best way is just wait and watch about this all things could be clear after World Cup in January who could be at top.

The previous years' winners have taught us that the trophy is won through teamwork, not how many quality players you have on your team.

I don't seem to agree if you think Manchester City are very dependent on Haaland. It's true Haaland has scored a lot of goals for Manchester City, but I think that's his job as a striker. Other players can also score goals such as Foden, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez or De Bruyne, but Haaland is a target man in the Manchester City squad especially in attack.

For this season, my hero remains at Real Madrid regardless of which team is considered a good candidate to win. Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich or any team are good but about the title I want Real Madrid to defend it.

That "should" be like that, but if you watched Liverpool game you will see that since Haaland managed to score that many goals so far, many players end up just passing it to him and expect him to score, aside from Foden who just tries to score himself instead. I have seen silva, ilkay, de bruyne, everyone just pass to Haaland whenever they can, as many times as they can, so that one of them would be at least a goal.

And to be fair to Haaland, it worked out well so far aside from just one game, so I cannot say it doesn't work. But we are not seeing the team as a whole try to score that much anymore, not as much as last year at least, it is more heavily on Haaland now.
