UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[LUCKMCFLY]

There are many big teams joining the Europa League from the group stage of the Champions League this time. I wonder how many of them will care about that tournament and try to win the title.

They should have squandered another chance in the Europa League or they would have received even more boos if they failed only in the early games. Especially clubs like Barcelona, Juventus, and several other big teams that failed in the UCL. In fact, in the European League itself, there are also Arsenal, Man United, Real Betis, Lazio, and other big teams that are currently on fire. This will be more interesting, won't it?

True, Europa League will be more interesting to watch when there are some big names such as the ones you mention above. Juventus is still questionable whether they will be able to go to Europa League or not after failed in the group stage of UCL. Their point is the same as Maccabi while Juventus have to face PSG in the last match. Anyway, even though Europa League is not as popular as UCL, I believe these big teams will try their best to catch the trophy. A trophy is still a trophy, catching it is better then nothing.

The Europa Lweague has taken great interest by many people, teams have been entering that I did not think I would see there in these times, of course Man United, Barceona are not common teams here, but I understand that sometimes you have to keep climbing to get to the best , if you're not at the level it's tough, now as you say, PSG is a very tough team, but I don't know, Juve is a team that has been an example throughout Italy, I think Juve has heart and has shown it in their games and this is something that must be recognized, for me that is very important, because I believe that every team can never lower their morale, just as they fall to the Europa League, they have to come out victorious.

I understand why there is a huge gap among Manchester City and the other teams. Haaland is the biggest factor for Manchester City to be this much clear favourite. I'm a little surprised with Bayern Munich's being favoured more than PSG. But maybe it is related to the group stage performances. PSG didn't impress much as they couldn't beat Benfica and lost the lead to them. Real Madrid are just waiting behind these teams silently. We shouldn't disregard them easily for the championship. I'm even thinking about placing a bet on them to become the champions again. 

Bayern is one legend of champions league besides Real Madrid because of that they are being favored. They also have more experienced fight with top club for long time and and able to overcome it all, while PSG they are is look new comer with new composition even the squad have more than what they want, but still they are not much compete in high class. And, for sure when Bayern can beat them in 16 round without have problem, they will one of champion candidate other than Madrid and Man City.

we'll see how determined PSG can beat Munich. they always had the desire to win the Champions League. even with an amazing squad they always fail in the end. Munich is one of the strong candidates for the trophy hunt this season. but I will probably support Man City more for this season. they have played more consistently this season. although we all know the teams that qualify for the top 16 are strong teams. of course, any favorite team could have slipped with the dark horse team this season.

I couldn't agree more with you, I really want Bayern to go through, and they have everything to do so, although I've always been a fan of Madrid, first of all I want Madrid to win again, as a second option if they manage to eliminate Madrid I would like Bayern and Man City as the third option, just because there is Haaland and Pep Guardiola, who for me is a teacher just like Mou.

When we put in context all the amount of speculation that we do, I like that many people in the world have the same thought as in another very distant place, the exchange of information is quite fast and despite the fact that there are different styles of football, tastes for good football is the one that prevails.

Liverpool might win Madrid if they see it as an opportunity to avenge last year's final match but if they fail to go extra mile to prepare for this victory, Real Madrid will win them again this year. Liverpool can not be judged by their performance in EPL because they know the value of UCL and plays well in other to qualify. Some clubs use the opportunity of UCL to rank up their qualification to the UCL game next season especially when they did not perform well in local leagues.

Even though the UCL and EPL are different, the quality of the players owned by the two teams is not much different, meaning they still use the same formation in every match, it's just that matches in the UCL are more challenging and prestigious, because the UCL is the highest caste of all existing leagues, so many teams who are competing against each other and trying to focus more on the group stage, round of 16 and reaching the final.

Real Madrid are very strong in Laliga and UCL this club has been keeping good records of UCL acting as if the cup is their birth right. If Real Madrid failed to qualify it means that Liverpool has removed the biggest obesitas they have this season to win the cup .

From this point of view, many observations predict Real Madrid is more likely than Liverpool, in addition to consistency in La Liga, Real Madrid has sweet memories in the Champions League

Last season when Liverpool was doing well, I still believe that Real Madrid can beat it, but this season Liverpool's performance is again inconsistent in the EPL standings so that it makes Liverpool out of the big four, but that performance can be a blunder (lose) for Real Madrid if you underestimate Liverpool.

Real Madrid has never shown a trivial attitude towards any team, in fact they have played at full strength in every game, it's just that I see Liverpool's condition a little different this season, the consistency in the League has not been seen as full quality against Real Madrid in the last 16 and hopefully Liverpool are able to overcome these shortcomings.
It's hard to make a precise prediction, who will win the home or away game, but Real Madrid's chances are great

[hahay]

I don't see any similarity between the two teams, on the contrary maybe there is a difference with the last time Madrid and Liverpool met
Overall, Liverpool's form has been on the decline and has received a lot of attention since entering the new season as some of their league match end in disappointment.
Even though Liverpool won 5 of 6 Champions League group stage match, but Jurgen Klopp still needs to refresh in some positions that look less effective

Liverpool is one of the best team in the english premier league but it's barely noticeable due to the fact that they're not use to signing big players but always contended with what they really have. Facing real Madrid in the round of 16 is definitely one of the tough game we're waiting to watch and hoping that this time around, liverpool should not fall victim after losing to the Los blancos back to back in the finals. The world cup will really change things for real Madrid and Liverpool which will either be deform or inform after the world cup, most players will come back injured.

it is a possibility that it will happen but we can't say that now, because there will be changes after the world cup because players are injured or underperforming is something that is unexpected or maybe even some players will perform better after the world cup.
but for now Liverpool are really in poor form, and of course by facing Real Madrid in the last 16, their chances of qualifying are very small if you look at the current performance of the two teams.
for a surprise to occur is not impossible, but the chance is small.
Rea Madrid is a team with a very strong mentality on the European stage, they will be very difficult to beat.

If I consider the current moment I think Liverpool still have a chance to win and qualify for the next round, because even though Liverpool looks bad, Liverpool have so far still been able to win against top teams. So yes, even though this match will take place next year there will certainly be changes in the team, but I still believe Klopp can deliver a good result for Liverpool.
Maybe it's a minority choice because I also admit that Real Madrid is indeed a tough team in all competitions, but I'm still trying to give Klopp confidence to be able to succeed in revenge.

Because this is Klopp's third chance to beat Real Madrid, because on the previous two occasions Klopp failed to beat Real Madrid. In my view Liverpool have a solid squad, so for them to beat Real Madrid it is still possible.
It doesn't matter about their position in the local league which is indeed very different, because I'm pretty sure Liverpool will be better against a team that on paper is difficult for them to beat.

[Docnaster]

I am a bit worried about the Real Madrid vs Liverpool match, as I see both teams equally. We will see a great match. Maybe because of the World Cup, many things can change between the two teams It remains to be seen how they will affect the team.

If this round 16 fixtures of Champions League were to be played before the World Cup, Liverpool wouldn't have survived the stage as Real Madrid would have been able to beat them both Home and Away.
I thank their goodness that there is break of world cup which means some club will likely come back in good form after the world cup, while some will go back to bad shape. I believe the world cup break will bring good news to Liverpool in order to enable them face the champions Real Madrid

You are right. If Real Madrid had to face Liverpool before the World Cup, Liverpool would undoubtedly have been defeated. Because even though Liverpool has a strong squad, their performance is weak. Liverpool is not able to perform well as a team. In such a situation, it is not possible for them to win against a strong team like Real Madrid. Liverpool will have to decide their match strategy during the World Cup break.

If you look at how Real Madrid played in the playoffs in the last Champions League, we will see that all the games were difficult and they sometimes won in the last minutes, but they never gave up and fought to the last. It shows the character of the team and it's very important because Liverpool don't know how to rebuild if they lose, they play well when everything goes according to their plan from the very beginning.

I agree, Liverpool started this season very badly both in the Champions League and in the English League and this break due to the World Cup will be very good for them.
I remember that last season they started the season very badly and were far behind in the English championship for Manchester City, and in the end they almost overtook them in the championship table and played the second part of the season perfectly.
They also played in the final against Real and unfortunately lost even though they were better and had a lot more chances.
Regardless of all that, I still think that Real is currently a more complete and better team than Liverpool and a slight favorite in their new match.

But Liverpool have some great players that Real Madrid don't have. However, Real Madrid's young players are playing good football, which has a promising future ahead of them. However, one of Liverpool's players is Mohamed Salah, Diaz. If Real Madrid and Liverpool play. Then I will treat both teams equally.

What do you mean by saying Liverpool have great players that Real Madrid don't have? are the players that Real Madrid have now not great? If you look at the comparison of the players of the two teams, they almost have the same quality. But now almost all Liverpool players are not at their best. I totally disagree if you say Real Madrid players are not as good as Liverpool players.

[naira]

It's not certain in football that a comeback in those crucial minutes can happen in any game and not just focusing on Real Madrid performance which always surprises in the last minutes. Liverpool can do the same. But here the context is that Liverpool obviously has to be a bit more careful. Actually, this is only part of the attack technique which is to let the opponent finish the bullets early, once they run out of bullets can attack back with all the ammo available.

[KTChampions]

This game was only possible because PSG failed in the group stage. If PSG took first place, then we would see a pair of Bayern - Benfica and everyone would react to this as "Benfica was good, but now it's over." PSG would have played Brugge and everyone would have treated this match the same way. But PSG failed and now we see in the 1/8 what we should have seen in the later stages of the tournament.

PSG's performance in the group stage was not bad. But Benfica's performance was better. And so PSG was second in the table. However, these are now past. PSG and Bayern Munich must now focus on their next match. And the team that wins the PSG vs Bayern Munich match, I think the team will go to the final. However, I just want to enjoy a competitive match. As both teams are very strong. So the match will definitely be competitive. And both of them have strong attacks. So I want to see several goals in this match.

Given the budget and expectations, the result of PSG in the group is terrible. They competed not with City as last season, but only with Benfica and Juventus, and still the result was again second place. But at the moment I don't think that the teams will focus on this match as it won't take place anytime soon. It seems to me that now the teams are developing strategies on how to get out of the break during which the World Cup will take place with the least losses.

Yes, if the scenario is like that. most likely, Liverpool will not be able to fight Real Madrid in the last 16 of the champions league.  With unstable performances, injured players, underperforming front-line players, it's hard for Liverpool to keep up with Real Madrid's game with the current state of the team. however, with the hiatus of all competitions due to the world cup.

Liverpool have time to recover the mentality of their players, and have enough time to recover their injured players. Klopp has room to evaluate every weakness that has been holding them back so far and rebuild strengths in prime condition. and yes, we hope that Liverpool can return to their best game after the world cup ends.

However, one of Liverpool's players is Mohamed Salah, Diaz. If Real Madrid and Liverpool play. Then I will treat both teams equally.

If you want to treat the two teams equally, now try to look at all the players on the two teams. From my personal point of view Real Madrid have had a little more great players than Liverpool this season so the level of quality for these two teams is different now and the potential for better is clearly on Real Madrid's side even though this match between these two teams is what many have been waiting for people this season

[SirLancelot]

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, Bayern Munich are the 5 favorite teams in this season's Champions League. But unfortunately 4 of these 5 teams really have to compete with each other to qualify for the next round.

I think Real Madrid, Manchester City and PSG will qualify for the next round even though it's never certain now. Liverpool are a strong team for Real Madrid, but we have proven we can be like the previous season. Bayern and PSG are the toughest matches, it must be difficult to get one of them in the next round. But I really hope Real Madrid can prove whatever I expect this season, they have to win and qualify.

Right now, we have around three months and right now mostly are feeling about their chances into World cup so with these predictions are not easy because any result is possible with Liverpool and Real Madrid both are quality teams even right now Liverpool is suffering in Premier League but still they are good and have enough quality to compete with any team in Champions League for me here Liverpool is having better chance to go through into last eight because they are improving and Real Madrid is surely on decline after falling down from top in La Liga.

In other match, PSG vs Bayern Munich here again we have two quality teams which are competing, and any team can go through but currently PSG is surely more solid instead of Bayern Munich which is facing some issues even right now they are back in business but still it's not easy for them to have competition against PSG.

[Docnaster]

If you measure the players of Liverpool and Real Madrid head to head, the players of Real Madrid are a bit more better than players of Liverpool. When you talk of team organization, Real Madrid is more organised than Liverpool and finally when you talk about champions league experience, Real Madrid has more experience than Liverpool. So Real Madrid has more chances to qualify to next round.

[arimamib]

Snip.

But Liverpool have some great players that Real Madrid don't have. However, Real Madrid's young players are playing good football, which has a promising future ahead of them. However, one of Liverpool's players is Mohamed Salah, Diaz. If Real Madrid and Liverpool play. Then I will treat both teams equally.

I prefer you to say that Liverpool and Real Madrid both have great players, what distinguishes the two is the appearance in all the competitions that they participate in. Real Madrid have been more consistent in La Liga and the Champions League, while Liverpool have not been at their best this season.

It is difficult to predict the result of the match between the two, before kick off Liverpool and Real Madrid still have the same chance. Liverpool who started the First leg at Anfield should not waste the opportunity to find as many goals as possible, a win in the first leg will make Liverpool's chances even bigger in the second leg because Real Madrid is very difficult to beat when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu.

[Bobrox]

Right now, we have around three months and right now mostly are feeling about their chances into World cup so with these predictions are not easy because any result is possible with Liverpool and Real Madrid both are quality teams even right now Liverpool is suffering in Premier League but still they are good and have enough quality to compete with any team in Champions League for me here Liverpool is having better chance to go through into last eight because they are improving and Real Madrid is surely on decline after falling down from top in La Liga.

In other match, PSG vs Bayern Munich here again we have two quality teams which are competing, and any team can go through but currently PSG is surely more solid instead of Bayern Munich which is facing some issues even right now they are back in business but still it's not easy for them to have competition against PSG.

Regardless three months later 16 round begin its seems have many change both player composition between Real Madrid or Liverpool, actually when January window transfer open will have new player arrived and another predicting which one prefer qualify to next round. Considering Real Madrid won head to head from Liverpool and last final match at Champion League Madrid won I think little effect for Madrid continue impressive perform when facing with English  Primer League teams.

Other excited 16 round match at Champion League between PSG vs Bayern Munich, no doubt with both team players quality in this season but Bayern have perfect result on group stage more favorite than PSG have finished with 2nd standing above Benfica. Have last three season PSG always facing big team on 16 round.

So Real Madrid has more chances to qualify to next round.

Real Madrid is better than any team in the world if we are calculating the champions league experience. How many players in the world has won 5 champions league in their life time? I think modric kroos and benzema has 5, not sure about other players in the team, when did their goalkeeper get there for example and all that, but I can tell you that there are at least 3 players for sure that won 4-5 champions league, and some of the players were there for the last one last year, and basically it’s an amazing team when it comes to champions league.

Nobody won more than half of what they won so far, that should tell you how great they are. Doesn't mean they win every year, they might lose just as well as win, but it’s a good advantage to have.

It seems to me that now the teams are developing strategies on how to get out of the break during which the World Cup will take place with the least losses.

They are lucky enough because Juventus are not in a good form, so the level of competition they provide is greatly reduced, it makes it easier for Paris Saint Germain to get a place in the round of 16. If at that time Juventus were in good form then it would be very difficult for them to be at least in second place. In fact they are still unable to compete with Benfica to be at the top of the standings. Now the team they will face is Bayern Munich for sure it will give them a very tight fight. Even though they have big name strikers in this case it is teamwork that speaks more, and I see Bayern Munich's teamwork being better than paris Saint Germain.

You said it very well, in Champions League there is a stage you will reach what counts is not how well you play it is how knowledgeable you are about the Champions League. That is why in my place they always say that Champions League is not for boys but for men. This is the reason why Real Madrid has great chance to win any club they meet in the Champions League final, they have that great mentality of playing the final match of Champions League which other teams are lacking
