UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Zackgeno96]

You would actually think that it is impossible for a team other than PSG or Manchester City to win the Champions League. However, we also have a draw, if it goes against you can get all the favorites in a row. Real Madrid had a really tough draw last year, so it was all the better that they managed to win the cup. They play well, have good players but against PSG or Manchester City in form it will be a very difficult story. I'm curious what the bookmakers think of Liverpool's chances, if they get their form back then they have a chance against everyone. If Liverpool play out of form against PSG it will be a hard punishment.

[D-law]

There is still one game left for all clubs, PSG will 100% finish at the top, meaning they will face a second of another group, and looking at the seconds of the groups, unless they face Liverpool they won't have any type of trouble. And even if they face them, Liverpool is not really doing great this season so they may beat them easily too.

It will as always start at quarter finals, usually top 16 doesn't have shocking results, maybe one game could be shocking out of 8, but usually it will be top of the table teams beating the seconds of the groups. However, after that it's unknown what PSG could do, it's going to get worse and we are going to see them not being at their best for sure.

I will so sorry for Liverpool if they face PSG
Finally at the end it will end in tears for Liverpool fan's
PSG did well to maintain number one, even if benfica challenge them very well

Do you believe Bayern and Real Madrid can be eliminated

if i may not believe it because i know both of them are great and strong team, i believe one of them will go to the final of champions league champion this season, at least meet Manchester city or PSG between the two are also quite strong and play well during the champions league

We are difficult who will be eliminated in the champions league they are too great and possible to beat other teams so I can't say for sure they will finish first or not.
But I want to watch their matches as well as possible during the competition, whether the club mentioned or any other club, because in this competition all the best European clubs fight to advance to the final.
Real Madrid, PSG and Man City are in my opinion the best candidates.

I don't agree with you. The Champions League is very competitive. Manchester City and PSG are favorites to win the Champions League title every season. They have a strong squad. Though Manchester City and PSG have yet to win the Champions League. Both the teams have strong squads this season as well. But there is no way to say for sure that they will win the title.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have relatively stable squads. And they have been able to continue to perform consistently well. And so it is not possible to predict right now whether PSG or Manchester City will win the title. To me, City, PSG, Munich and Madrid all have the same talent to win the title.

I am also optimistic to see PSG will be top of the table in the group stage until the last match. PSG will play Juventus in the last match in the group stage, and there I don't think they will miss the best moment to win the match.

About the opponents they will face in the last 16, I don't think it's necessary to think about it now because some position changes will occur in the last match. It might be lucky if PSG don't meet difficult opponents like Milan, Inter or Liverpool, but it's always possible to meet one of them (if all these teams qualify).

Barcelona hardly claimed to win the Champions League with such a squad, but the club is now obliged to have the Europa League win as a goal. And the team should make every effort to do this.

With the current Teams nobody can really claim to win the Champions League , even when they have a good squad.
There are so much good teams with great players in there . The whole team must playing good and that for a long time to win the title.
And for Barcelona it will be also hard now to play the Europa League and win it.

If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League, they need more quality players in their squad. Because to reach the Champions League with the current players is absolutely extraordinary. It is important to add some new midfielders and defense in their team. The exit from the Champions League led to some financial problems

I haven't seen any improvement made by Liverpool, I mean a significant improvement. But it's not impossible Liverpool can do it in this Champions League.
Manchester City have a solid team at the moment which adds to their confidence and will increase. But in the group stage there is no team that is really a balanced opponent for them, I still need to see how far they come when faced with a team that is balanced in strength.

And so it is not possible to predict right now whether PSG or Manchester City will win the title. To me, City, PSG, Munich and Madrid all have the same talent to win the title.

The four teams have real talent but champions league does not rely only on talents but team spirit recent triumph by Madrid has proven that. Man City has failed in the couple of years due to lack of players that can't turn up when they are down and also Pep's poor tactics in the last stages. For PSG, I feel they haven't got a leader but with Ramos and Messi in this current squad they might go a long way. Bayern on the other hand are the biggest threat to Madrid's quest for the UCL but they have a relatively young squad including the squad. Bayern's biggest problem this season is playing without a striker that can guarantee them some number of goals.

This four teams are actually bookmakers favourites but I expect team like Napoli to spring surprises.
For now my pick for the trophy still remain Madrid

[Falconer]

Apart from Barcelona moving to the Europa League, it's not just their game that they will win, it's the opponents that we don't know that make it less difficult for them, in this European league there are many other big teams competing after being relegated from the Champions League who didn't qualify.
Barcelona and other teams need to work hard to win the title.

Whatever you believe about Barcelona is still very likely to be wrong in the end. Last season Barcelona were favorites for the title when they met Frankfurt, but they failed because Frankfurt played better. This season is also uncertain, Barcelona has a chance to fail in any competition if their performance is not stable.

I really think that Barcelona is not as strong as I predicted, but maybe it's reasonable because the teams in Group C are strong teams where it is difficult to predict the outcome. I was really surprised because in the end only Real Madrid qualified for the next round.

So many great clubs participating. We should expect the best from every participating club, watching all will give the best fun of the round of 16. Advancing to the final stage will not just be gratified by how good the clubs are but how well they will be able to utilise what they have.

[bitpotter]

Spanish clubs has shown very poor outing in this season's champions league. They only managed to qualify one team out of four teams that came for the tournament. If you compare this to England where all the four teams would be qualifying, you will understand why people say that England is the most competitive league in Europe. They have proven it once more.

Actually Barcelona and Athletico are very good at playing in La Liga, they are also second and third in the standings. But if you look at sevilla maybe they are in bad form considering they still survive at the bottom of the table. I understand about the English league, there are many great teams like Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, they are competing for the top of the standings and each has a small point difference. A little addition at this time Newcastle United are in good form and enter the 4th position of the standings.

That proves that if the only team that has capability to compete with another big clubs is only madrid. Barcelona is still far from a team that can compete with another big clubs in champion league.
Some candidates are also coming from serie a. It seems like serie a has been performing quite better compared with la liga. It can be seen from how many candidates that have been sent to the last 16 by any league.
Barcelona can only win against small clubs. Its mentality doesn't seem good when it will be facing the big clubs with balanced players. You can see the result how barcelona makes 0 shot.

If we talk about Real Madrid of course they are the King of the Champions League with 14 trophies. Even Real Madrid still holds the record of winning the Champions League 3 times in a row in 2016, 2017, and 2018 of course it is very impossible if there is a club who wants to break that record.
The Italian teams that qualified for the next round were Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan. All three are also on fire in series A.
For barcelona they don't care about winning and just seem to play tactics that shouldn't be necessary if the end will still lose.

I will not say that the Barcelona team is not strong. Barcelona's team is strong enough. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. But the problem is that it is very difficult to make predictions about Barcelona's performance. Because there is no consistency in their performance. Barcelona does not perform well against big teams. Barcelona has several weaknesses. It is a shame that a renowned team like Barcelona will be eliminated from the Champions League in the first round. Xavi will definitely want to perform well in the Europa League and La Liga. I think if Barcelona's defence is strong they will be able to win the La Liga title.

Liverpool have seemed to be very promising thanks to their performance in their last four group games. It was a horrible start against Napoli by a 4-1 loss and I started questioning their future already. However they still showed their quality and won four games in a row.

However two of these games were against Rangers and they didn't have any problem at all in those games as a result. The other two were against Ajax which were a strong team on paper. But in action, they have had a horrible run in the Champions League. I don't remember the last time I saw them this much weak here. I just want to see Liverpool against bigger teams after the group stage. If we still see some struggle and inconsistency just as in the EPL then I don't think they can make it to the CL title this season.

Liverpool needs consisetency in all tournaments and not to be just hot and cold in all tournaments. Man City is the main favorite for me to win the champions league next to Bayern Munich and PSG. Kloop needs to fix all segements as soon as possible so they can try and attack the title

And so it is not possible to predict right now whether PSG or Manchester City will win the title. To me, City, PSG, Munich and Madrid all have the same talent to win the title.

Manchester City and PSG are favorite team to win Champion League title almost every season with complicated player composition have, but unpredictable with Real Madrid won UCL trophy last season, I doubted with several predicting and favorite Manchester City or PSG depend both team never won any Champion League trophy yet. Have competent squad is most important but another important is the mentality  winning needed by PSG or Manchester City if want to win Champion League tittle.

I have predicting about the Champion League winner in this season most close to choose between Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, probably with Bayern Munich have 100% ration winning at group stage and success won 5 of 5 games, left one match against Inter Milan to make perfect achievement points at group stage.

So many great clubs participating. We should expect the best from every participating club, watching all will give the best fun of the round of 16. Advancing to the final stage will not just be gratified by how good the clubs are but how well they will be able to utilise what they have.

We already know some clubs have made it to the last 16 but some are still fighting to qualify because there is one more game in the group stage.
They will certainly start the struggle again in the last 16 by utilizing the home and away playing system from whoever the club is, of course, they will take advantage of what they have, including great players, the strategy is run smoothly, and there is a coach who can bring the club even further so that's it all a pleasure for football lovers, especially those who are fans of each club.
The last 16 will be moving again for all the teams that qualify.

And even if they face them, Liverpool is not really doing great this season so they may beat them easily too.

It's always those under looked second placed teams to kick out the so-called favorites. Last season was an exception because Real Madrid did the job themselves, being the record UCL champions. But, even then the biased media kept treating them as underdogs until final whistle of the competition.

If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League, they need more quality players in their squad. Because to reach the Champions League with the current players is absolutely extraordinary. It is important to add some new midfielders and defense in their team. The exit from the Champions League led to some financial problems

Not just quality players, there is also need for team spirit and winning mentality among them. Look at PSG and Manchester City. They have had quality players for years now, and yet they always fell short in Champion's League.

Xavi will definitely want to perform well in the Europa League and La Liga. I think if Barcelona's defence is strong they will be able to win the La Liga title.

The main problem I identify with Barcelona in the Champions League is that they rely heavily on Lewandowski for make goal, secondly they don't have good options for defenders when their main players are injured. Nobody thought they would fail in the early stages (group stage), but that's how it is.

I suspect Xavi is really worried about his future now especially if Barcelona also fail in the Europa League, Laliga or Copa del Rey. If Xavi fails for all those titles, then I don't know why Laporta wants to keep him longer. I admit he is great, but the team needs to win and the title.

[wmaurik]

if i may not believe it because i know both of them are great and strong team, i believe one of them will go to the final of champions league champion this season, at least meet Manchester city or PSG between the two are also quite strong and play well during the champions league

It was the same last season, but both failed last season because a lot of unexpected things happened and everyone who doesn't count Real Madrid in terms of the Champions League, I think it's a mistake. Because last season Real Madrid were almost defeated by several teams, but in the end they managed to become champions, right? It's about the calculation of a strong team that has the potential to win, because I'm also not saying Manchester city or PSG are weak teams, because they have both shown how strong they are this season.

Actually expecting something like that is not too wrong because Lewa is a targetman and Lewa can actually still be hopeful but the problem is that the supply given to Lewa in the last few matches is not very good which makes Lewa unable to play like she should.
With this condition there will actually be worries for Xavi but seeing the condition of Barcelona it will only stay like that because if they change the coach again it will be very difficult for their financial condition.
