UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Woodie]

I really don't like to see such tweets tbh. So after Real Madrid crashed Celtic 5 goals to one now comes these tweets, is this the right way of comparing the two greats of football.... Besides Sir Alex has turned raw talents into superstars while Carlo Ancelotti users an already polished team and let's not even go to how long it has taken the man to beat SAF who retired over a decade ago!

Real Madrid really made the closing match to be very awesome by scoring 5-1 for Celtic. They could really manage the match really well.

Real Madrid played very well. And it was looking very good. If we take a look on previous performance of Madrid we will look Madrid more better than Cetlic.

Cetlic try to its best too to win the match but Madrid was more strong as compare to Cetlic.

Honestly the boys were out there just to have some fun as qualification was already secured, and the other team had nothing to play which might mean they didn't put in their best fight into the game  . All in all congratulations Real Madrid next stop round of 16.

Benfica really plays good this season and i honestly didnt see them passing the group but they passed it really easily and they deserved too. I think if they continue to play like this they might reach the semi final of champions league. Porto also plays very good but i see them in the quarters and thats it

I do not deny your opinion indeed Benfica has the potential to do that because a top team like PSG can't beat them at home or away
Currently Benfica has 2 mainstay players in attack as one of the top scorers Gonçalo Ramos and Rafa Silva but the defense is still less effective
I can't imagine what would happen if Benfica had to face Manchester city in the next match.

Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb In the full time game between these two teams, Chelsea scored 2 goals and Dinamo Zagreb scored 1 goal. We saw Dinamo Zagreb score a goal in the first 7 minutes. And shortly after that Chelsea scored in the 18th minute to equalize and again.  Chelsea went ahead with another goal at 30 minutes of the game. And after that there were no more goals in this match. However, Dinamo Zagreb tried hard to score another goal to draw the match but they didn't get that chance.

Chelsea really deserved the victory from the match, because they used all their potential tactics to secured the two goals not to allow Dinamo Zagreb to equalize the goals till the end of the match. I think, Chelsea coach still need to work on their defense and midfield before their next match because the way other small teams strikers used to have access to Chelsea goalpost these days, showed that their defense is not too strong like last year season. Dinamo Zagreb strikers are very good in this match, for them to first Chelsea to scored goal at 7 minutes before Chelsea equalized the goal and made it 2-1 before the end of the match showed that Dinamo Zagreb really prepared for the match.

Benfica played with the intention of winning the group and the stoppage time goal turned out to be crucial as Benfica and PSG were even on points and head-to-head, and were also tied on goals scored and conceded overall. PSG finishing as second will have will have a huge knock-on effect for the other group winners including clubs Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham who could now face PSG in the last-16.

Benfica are not classified at the same level of PSG but they made it. The first position in this group is helpful for them in the 1/8 round when they might meet a little bit softer opponent.

About PSG, they again self-created unnecessary difficulty in Champions League. With resource they have, they should take the first position to reduce risk of meeting tough opponent in the next round. Again, they failed with this task and I am waiting to see what is their opponent next and how will they response to it.

Juventus lost 1-2 but the result is a liar.
Juventus deserved at least the draw but this is football.

Exceptional performance considering the 13 missing players and the players from the "b" team in the squad versus on of the best team in the world.

This means PSG deserve to get a second position in this group. That final ranking in this group is a big shame for PSG. They should do it better and now they have a higher risk to face with tough opponent.

Juventus did try to find a winning goal in the second half but it brought more space for PSG to do counter-attacking and at the end, Juventus defense was exploited by PSG. With this result, it is very hard for Max to keep his coach position.

It doesn't matter who PSG meets in the knockout stage. They’re a good team and they’re ready to beat any team this time around to get to the finals. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are on fire. But in the vein, I think they will get protected by UEFA this Year, because they PSG round of 16 opponent will be one of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Napoli, Chelsea, Tottenham and Porto. So I'm thinking Porto should get ready to face PSG.

However, Dinamo Zagreb tried hard to score another goal to draw the match but they didn't get that chance.

This match ended according to predictions and analysis. but the Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb match was very exciting. And chelsea dominated this match and deserved to get the win. Dinamo Zagreb's efforts to score early also deserve appreciation. although in the end not long ago chelsea was able to reply with two goals. Congratulations on the win for chelsea.

Whilst the victory for Liverpool didn't ensure that they top the group as they still had to settle for second place, it was a really important win for their morale and confidence, they lost back to back games in the EPL, so a win was very important last night, it would be a morale boost for them as they prepare for their big game in the EPL against Spurs on Sunday, if they had failed to beat Napoli, their confidence would've been at rock bottom.

Having said that, Liverpool now have to wait for the RO16 draw to see if they would face a really big team, this season there are a couple of teams that aren't giant clubs that finished first postion in their respective groups, so Liverpool could still get an easy RO16 game despite finishing second in their group behind Napoli.

That's why all clubs are eyeing to finish in first position, because they want to avoid tough opponents in the round of 16 later.
Liverpool and Tottenham have already qualified for the last 16, now they can focus on facing the Premier League for a while, but I think Tottenham are in good form compared to Liverpool, the game will be difficult and tense.

Liverpool club is very unpredictable.
Understanding Liverpool is difficult to do. Matches you expect them to win, they lose it. Same as matches you expect them to lose, they win them. The problem with Liverpool seems to be from their mental ability and attitude. They feel relaxed when they are up for a small team, but put up their armour when playing against a big team.

Round of 16: Liverpool will be up against Bayern Munich, I hope they will be able to pull it through as they did in group-stage qualifications.

Although the draw for the last 16 has not been done, Bayern Munich is still too strong for now, they are unbeaten in group C, even when compared to Liverpool's strength, it is certain that Bayern are superior in every way.
While Liverpool are experiencing inconsistent, both in the English league and Champions league.

With the elimination of Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia has no team left in the European cups.  This is a significant loss in terms of country score.  They played an admirable match against Chelsea.  If they had played a little better defense, maybe they could have gotten points from this match.  It is now important where Chelsea can go from here.  I'm curious about the pairings of the teams that made it to the top round.

I really appreciated Benfica's determination to take the lead from PSG.

They needed to get a huge win over Maccabi Haifa to do this in case PSG and them both get wins. Benfica really did it by a huge 6-1 win. Maccabi Haifa seemed to be challenging first but they couldn't prevent a disaster for them. Juventus were really lucky to keep the third position in the group. Because they could have really finished it at the last position after losing to PSG by 2-1. PSG just met the expectations and defeated them. Normally Juventus wouldn't lose this game but they are far away from their old performance.

Yes, unexpectedly that Benfica is group winner they have the same points and record as PSG 4 Win 2 Draw 0 Lose
The Portuguese League has 2 teams that are group winners Porto and Benfica really great achievement
What do you think about the chances of these two teams in the champions league?

Benfica has fliped people predictions that when most people predict they will not qualified because in the same group along with Juventus and PSG but they can playing well for whole matches and qualified as group champion and besides that poor performance from Juventus also has help them to finish at first position above PSG but good at group phase don't mean they will be the favourite and their real tested currently has begun that can they beat their opponents at knockout phase or not

In the modern football Portuguese teams don't have any good achievement on champion league unless Porto who has successfully became the champion with Mourinho on 2003 but after that Portuguese teams only stuck at group stages or only achieved quarter final and this season too probably they will have any trouble to faced big teams but they are can be considers as dark horses teams in champion league so most strong teams should be careful for them because probably they will provide unpredictable performance

Real Madrid really made the closing match to be very awesome by scoring 5-1 for Celtic. They could really manage the match really well.

Real Madrid played very well. And it was looking very good. If we take a look on previous performance of Madrid we will look Madrid more better than Cetlic.

Cetlic try to its best too to win the match but Madrid was more strong as compare to Cetlic.

Congratulations to Real Madrid, finishing as the top is the number one goal of every club in the group, five goals and the best of them all was the one tracked and scored by Asencio. Vervalde also scored another goal to increase the hola tally of the season. They have two days to rest before they take on Valladolid on Monday night.

Congratulations to Ancellotti he was underated in the premier league but see how his management career with Madrid makes sense good news on reaching that milestone

[yudi09]

I knew Liverpool would win, but with a different score.(Like 4-0 / 5-0)
They scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes, which is a great achievement.
Liverpool are truly an incredible team. I hope they will be champions this year.

That's what we expect to happen this season in the midst of slightly different performance conditions from last season.
Not being able to score 2 goals in that span of time against Napoli, but qualifying for the round of 16, an early achievement for Liverpool this season.

Consistency in every game played by Liverpool is their main job. It's not just Jurgen Klopp's job as a coach, it's the whole player's job.
We will wait for the draw to find out who our (Liverpool) team will face.

Yes... I am also happy with Liverpool's success in stopping Napoli's winning streak in the UEFA Champions League.

Dinamo Zagreb's efforts to score early also deserve appreciation. although in the end not long ago chelsea was able to reply with two goals. Congratulations on the win for chelsea.

The performance from chelsea looked good but it's not make me amaze with it and why? there are so many ball possession owned by chelsea, so many shots happened but only a few become on target. Again and again, the execution for the chance to be a goal has become the main problem for chelsea. The same thing is always repeating anytime. Chelsea was not performing so good at the first half of match. I hope that chelsea will find a solution for that.
I will prefer to see chelsea has less shots but all of these shots are on target and some of these shots can be converted into the goals. That will be far better. We do know dinamo zagreb was performing so bad in the group.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Tonight match,  Man City is not playing like the Man City i used to know before, because by i expected Man city to have scored not less than 2 to 3 goals beforerererere the ending of the first match, but seeing this defeat of 0-1 really breaks my heart, and I'm now worried, why must Erling Haaland be on injury. Why will Guardiola choose to use boys to play this game when we have people like K. De Bruyne and B. Silva on the bench.. But however, its not late.. Guardiola still has what it takes to win this match

It's not a priority so they reshuffle some players to keep their core players fit and the substitutes get enough time to continue playing.
I personally don't expect much from this game because even if they win or lose it doesn't have much of an impact on them so it's clear that Pep knows what he has to prioritize and of course resting the players is the right thing.
It's currently 55 minutes of running time and the score is still 1-1.

Yes.. You equally have a point here, and I am very thet Pep Guardiola was able to put his boys back on track and fnally winning the match after losing In the first half. Because for me, i will give the "Rico Lewis" as the man of yesterdays match for scoring the first motivational Man City goal immediately after the first half break, which equally laid to the 2nd and  3rd goals scored by "Julian Alvarez" and "Riyad Mahrez" respectively. So the game was actually a nice one, as Man City was able to come back to there sense and doing the needful, even when they have already qualified in the group stage

I don't think it's surprising that Benfica won the group. Benfica is a big team in Europe, it's just that they're not famous enough, so people think they're a small team.
Benfica Last season in the same group as Barcelona and Bayer Munich, they could qualify for the last 16. This season in the same group with PSG and Juventus, they can qualify again
Last season until the quarter-finals, if Benfica can be consistent, this season it could reach the semi-finals or [even] the final.

Surprised by the EPL teams this season where they all qualified for the next phase and 3 of them were group winners and Liverpool entered the runner up pot.
This is in contrast to La Liga now because this is indeed a decline for them considering that now of the 4 La Liga clubs only Madrid are able to advance, the rest are Barcelona, Sevilla must move to the Europa League and Atletico are the clowns in the last position in the group phase.
The German representatives are also quite good because they are the only Leverkusen who cannot follow their country's clubs to qualify for the last 16.

I was surprised when I began to see the goals of Benfica increasing from 3 to 6 in the final group match. I was wondering why they needed to score big goals since they will qualify as second position. I was wondering before I knew they are ahead of PSG. They are in same points but they are ahead because of h2h with Psg

Benfica's appearance this season was completely unexpected because previously this Portuguese representative was not counted at all to qualify from the group stage because they are in the same group with PSG and Juventus.

Interestingly, Benfica were able to qualify as group winners and beat PSG as runners-up despite getting the same points and goal difference. But UEFA put Benfica at the top because the rules used are the number of away goals.

[Bitinity]

It doesn't matter who PSG meets in the knockout stage. They’re a good team and they’re ready to beat any team this time around to get to the finals. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are on fire. But in the vein, I think they will get protected by UEFA this Year, because they PSG round of 16 opponent will be one of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Napoli, Chelsea, Tottenham and Porto. So I'm thinking Porto should get ready to face PSG.

It does a matter as they will face one of the group winners. There are some great teams that may stop PSG in the round of 16 such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, Napoli and Bayern. I'm not sure what do you mean by "protected by UEFA", do you mean that there is a possibility of manipulated draw that make PSG face easier team?

[rahmad2nd]

I'm sure most of us are surprised by Benfica's current achievement of qualifying for the round of 16 plus being the group leader.  they really played with hard work, teamwork and finally able to get out of the pessimism that was originally predicted not to qualify for the next round in the UCL. considering that in this group there are SPG and Juventus who are the top teams.


but uniquely, despite having the same points as PSG, goal difference, and an identical record of two meetings, the status of group winners is entitled to be carried by Benfica because they have a better away goal scoring record which is used as the next criterion in determining position in the UCL group stage standings. in this case, Benfica scored nine goals away, while PSG only scored six goals at home. Bencifa is completely beyond my attention in the champions league, but they are able to become and prove worthy to compete in the round of 16 later.

Benfica immediately step on the gas in the final match of the group stage, the struggle of the Benfica players managed to deliver them as group winners. A landslide victory 6-1 over Maccabi Haifa made Benfica qualify for the round of 16 with the status of Group winners, Benfica winning the number of away goals from PSG 9 compared to 6.
PSG had to settle for second place after winning 1-2 at the Allianz Stadium. While Juventus had to go down to the Europa League because they were only able to finish in third place.

[Pmalek]

I watched the Juventus - PSG match last night. Despite the result, Juve played a good game.

Messi was mostly invisible throughout the match. He was involved in the build-up to the 1st PSG goal, but that was more of a solo effort by Mbappe than anything else. It's unnecessary to comment on Mbappe's performance. The lad is simply unstoppable even for better teams.
Juve created many scoring opportunities. They played bravely, combined well, and had a nice rhythm. They kept attacking and wanted to win the match in the 2nd half. The 1:2 goal is unfortunate and was scored by a fresh player who just came on as a substitute. Cuadrado was tired and should have been substituted if it wasn't for the huge Juventus injury crisis. He wasn't able to cope with Mendes as he attacked the left wing and simply ran passed him.

All in all, had Juve played like that (performance-wise) the whole season, they would have been a contender to reach the knockout stages. Instead, their approach was mostly disgraceful and undeserving of the shirt they wear. The young Italians from yesterday deserve more playing time instead of the foreign mercenaries Juventus usually fields when they are healthy. Those lads couldn't give a fuck what happens to the club or what the result is.
