UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[nara1892]

When it comes to the Champions League, there is no excuse for the teams who are here now, because this is not the time to talk about that but they have to show the preparations they have made so far. The fans don't want to hear anything from them (the team here) when their performances are unsatisfactory. They must be prepared for such pressure where the pressure will be heavier than usual because of this in terms of fighting for the most prestigious title on this blue continent. It's true that at the moment there are some teams who have problems, I hope they don't show that in the Champions League.

Seeing Manchester City performance this season, I think it will be easy for Manchester City to beat Leipzig in the round of 16 meeting later. I've seen their history in the group stage meetings in the previous season where the statistics stated that Leipzig could win the match against Manchester city at home but when they played at home to Manchester City they had to lose with a big score. Even this season the Manchester City squad is stronger than the previous season and it will be difficult for Leipzig to win the first leg match at their home because Manchester City is not a weak opponent for Leipzig. I agree with you, Manchester City will find it easier to qualify for the next round compared to other teams.

With due respect I am not agreed with you about Manchester City easy win against Leipzig because they are not weak as you are feeling they played last five matches against top teams and all won specially against Real Madrid which is currently defending champions and in last season Leipzig won against Manchester City at home these all things indicating now we are in knock out stage and any team can give shocking result with its all about on game day performance nothing else going to help.
 
Even Manchester City is having few quality players, and they are giving their best but still it's not easy for them to win every match against every team in last few matches before break their performance was also not good in both competitions and now in World Cup they have too many players are involved which can create problems for them, so we have to wait for better prediction about this match.

There is a reason why it is referred to as the UCL. Its not where you come to give in to pressure or injuries and this of that sort. You've got to be optimum and ready to deliver on all your games. You play all stage as though it was the finals because, things turn quickly in the UCL and a first leg advantage has often appeared not to be enough guarantee for the next phase in the competition.

Graham potter was previously able to bring Brighton to become a club that is quite respected and even frightening for big English league teams, even if Chelsea are not currently able to be as great as before but at least we can start to see an increase in Chelsea game, we just have to wait for the time to see Chelsea is back on the right track because no matter how great Potter  of course he needs time to improve Chelsea.

And where are you seeing this improvement on the Chelsea performance because, I haven't found them to be capable of anything good until we had this international break. Its been one awful performance to another and that's just not commendable of Graham Potter. I can't say his been good as I see Chelsea to be in its worst state.

[SirLancelot]

as long as the Chelsea owner is ready to spend more money in bringing quality players, he will be able to release more money to Graham Potter to make good signings in January open window.
The Chelsea Football Club is struggling to perform and it is not something the owner will ignore because he has already spent a lot. That guy as I see him needs results and he will be able to do anything to have the results that he wants. if it requires signing Ronaldo he will be able to do it this time around, let us wait till January and see how everything will work out

It's like a mess in chelsea thesedays.

The club gave tuchel money to bring fofana, cucurella and koulibally and then fire him plus these players play below expectation and drowning ... what would we expect now? More signing for the champions league ambition? I dont think so , the club might start saving money and let graham potter manage the current squad , how far we can go? I'm not sure ... chelsea might disqualified early from the CL this time.

This mess started when Roman Abramovich sell this club because he was doing amazing job and club was also having good quality and performance but suddenly change of ownership having issues and Tuchel sacked which create more problems now Graham Potter was good in early few matches but now before break Chelsea was second worst club in Premier League for their last five matches performance just two draws and three loses.

But, good thing happened for them now they have good break which is surely going to help them for having better strategy which will bring them back in good shape specially right now they are at eight position with most chances they are going to miss top four spots and their next match in Champions League is against Dortmund which is also not good, but they can give shock to Chelsea as they were tough against Manchester City so most chances this season is going to end on below for Chelsea.

Actually when talking about not giving up with the condition of the team affected by injuries and the like this is not only for the Champions League but I quite agree if I say indeed when you are in one match here it must be made as if this is a final. In order to continue to be motivated in the match apart from that it is clear that this will also lift our spirits even though we have lost but we have fought well.
Instead of regretting after the end of the game, isn't it better to keep trying to compete as best as possible.

Milan have quit well performance at Champion League in this season until success qualify to next round although with runner up finished standing, actually not really bad achievement from six games in Champion League have 3 won, 1 draw and 2 loss with 3 points remaining from Chelsea as the leader group standing. Comparison with last season performance at Champion League, Milan failure totally with bottom standing position finished after loss compete with Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

Its looks have difficult opponent with Tottenham Hotspur on 16 round because Spurs tactician Conte have experience and familiar with AC Milan trough several season become Juventus manager and ever success when becoming Inter Milan manager. I think Milan should effective at home match get full points to make easy when away match.

After poor end in last season now they are back with bang and having second rank behind Chelsea which is good, but now things are going tough because in knock out round they are going to face Tottenham which is quality side and have few top ranked players, but this is not going to be easy for any team to compete and have easy win both needs to give their best for having spot into last eight even Milan is doing amazing performance after winning last year Serie A title, and they are currently second in this season behind Napoli with their performance in Champions League is also good with in last two matches they score eight goals and concede no against Salzburg but before this they were completely down against Chelsea which is surely going to be helpful for Tottenham which is another top class English club.

After Tuchel, I heard the news The official was also thinking to fire Potter, I don't who the candidate was because no head coach's name has yet revolved. Maybe only Zidane who is the best coach ever can replace him, but for now, Zidane seems not interested to train the club because he seems to focus on the National team, if any country ready willing to him.

I also have read some articles that tell about the intention of the Chelsea owner to sack him after Chelsea got defeated by Newcastle.
https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-stance-graham-potter-sack-25507403
https://www.football365.com/news/chelsea-boehly-potter-sack-decision-four-options-pochettino-zidane-rodgers

There are some candidates to replace him (Zidane, Pochettino, Rodgers).
But I think Zidane is not possible to manage Chelsea. He possibly isn't interested to manage a team like Chelsea. So, Pochettino or Rodgers is the possible coach to replace Potter. However, I think it is too early to think about the decision to sack Potter. He just managed Chelsea, it is better to give him more chances (a longer time). At least, until the season is over.

Group stage matches do not guarantee the remainder of the tournament. Manchester City have actually played quite well in recent seasons, but have also had some bad luck. They have made it to the final once, in which they were high favorites to win the final against Chelsea. Last season they actually played really well, but they completely collapsed in the last minutes and seconds of the game. There they had many chances at the 0-2, then the game was over. It must be really frustrating that they haven't won this tournament yet when they always start the tournament as favourites.

There have been a lot of problems going on with Chelsea currently. Chelsea is not playing well. And obviously, the change of authority has been a problem for them. Tuchel was doing a decent job with the Chelsea team. But all of a sudden they fired him. It’s OK, but they brought in Potter to manage Chelsea. That was a dumb move in my opinion. They could have gotten better options. I think even Zinedine Zidane was an option for them. 

I hope they will be able to play better when they come back from the international break.

Chelsea performance in this season made people to feel bad about the team because since they sacked Thomas tuchel from Chelsea made some of their potential players to lose focus in their position. The way this new Chelsea manager is benching some of their strikers that know how to achieve early goals that will bring victory at the end of the game, show that this new Chelsea manager cannot help the team to win this trophy.

.
People are acting like Chelsea wasn't horrible at the end of Thomas Tuchel era, I understand that we won the champion league with him but what happened a year later, Chelsea got totally humiliated by Real Madrid at their home and couldn't hold a lead we were having that could have taken us to the next stage of the competition and who knows maybe we would had been able to defend the title which is something no premier league side has been able to do. Chelsea picked up form immediately Potter was signed and we are still in the tournament.

Assuming Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked we would had gone out of the competition by now. Thomas Tuchel was playing a not so interesting football that revolved around passing the ball at the back without having any upfront force to put the goal at the back of the opponent post. With Potter, we're trying to be a little direct and with time we shall perfect that playing strategy and start winning games.

I have also seen a video of Guardiola complaining why is the champions league hard and difficult to win
They are looking as good favorites for the competition
Guardiola is trying one more time even if he fails, they can close last season but Madrid made it through

Yes, let's look forward to positive changes for Chelsea because actually, in the first few matches for Potter they also praised Potter a lot. But just because, Chelsea continued to suffer a setback in the Premier League, it was enough to make Potter get criticized and started to doubt.
Admittedly, I also realized that this assessment was too quick, because as a coach who does not have high luck, of course Potter needs more time to make the expected changes.

If I consider that Potter's success with Brighton is also not obtained in a short time, so at least because Potter is in a big club it should be easier for Potter to build a better team.
As Chelsea have better resources, it will help Potter to get the players he wants in the January transfer window. But if it still doesn't give the expected results, then of course the assessment will be right given at that moment.

The Champions League is always difficult for all teams because every team that qualify for the Champions League will always try to perform as well as possible because they all have to be able to prove themselves to be the best in the Champions League as Real Madrid did last season. And this season it won't be easy for any team to get the Champions League trophy easily because Real Madrid and several other teams are not in a bad condition either.

PSG are really unlucky to have a draw against a team like Bayern Munich in last 16 round already. Bayern Munich are being shown as one of the biggest title contenders now. They have been incredible so far in the Champions League as well without signing a new striker to fill Lewandowski's place. It is going to be very difficult for PSG to stop them in this round.

PSG eliminated them before actually. But it was a really hard-fought one. Maybe it might be the time for Bayern Munich to have their revenge. PSG need their trio to show their best performances in this matchup. Eliminating one of the biggest contenders would be a big advantage for PSG on the road going to their first Champions League title.

I heard Mane injuries, so he couldn't play in the World Cup with Senegal. Mane injured a fibula while defending Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen in the German League final. But hopefully, he will get better soon. The world cup break is quite long. That became Bayern's advantage because he had a no-match time lag. I think actually Mane has been convincing enough with Munich. So Lewandowski's move is not too much of a problem for Bayern.

Why it's unlucky for PSG? If PSG is a great club and better than Bayern Munich, PSG will beat Bayern Munich. Since you said unlucky, it mean PSG is weaker than Bayern Munich and I tend to agree, anyway this is football where any club want to become a champion, of course they need to beat every clubs to remain in the top position. The other clubs also tough too, if they're not strong they wouldn't qualify for the top 16th rounds.

[bering]

Manchester City is still a worthy contender to win the Champions League. They have a great playing XI. Besides, the rest of the extra players in the team also play great football. That's why Manchester City never had a problem with players.

However, make no mistake. if, Pep Guardiola's troops underestimate their opponent later in the round of 16. then, the result will be fatal. RB Leipzig is not an opponent that is too strong for Manchester City, but Leipzig will put up a pretty fierce fight and go all out to win the battle when playing matches at their own headquarters.

Even Real Madrid, had difficulty and suffered a 3-2 defeat when they played an away game at RB Leipzig headquarters. this match is no less interesting than the other matches later, because in the first leg, Leipzig played as the home team.

Leipzig probably is the underdog than Manchester City but their performance were quite impressive even on Bundesliga they gets 8 consecutive no lose and can able to gets 7 wins from those matches so this indicated Leipzig in the good shape but indeed one of Leipzig weakness is they always be lose while meet big teams so this makes Leipzig hard to beat Manchester City

However if i am not mistaken on 2020 Leipzig has reach to semifinal in this competition and they almost be went to final match before defeated by PSG so there are possibilities they can makes big teams slipped so Manchester City should to be careful with them

It must be really frustrating that they haven't won this tournament yet when they always start the tournament as favourites.

City always have to deal with two things:

1 - Premier League
2 - Champions League

being that they are the type of team that is focused on two things so they need to do good player management and in that issue of player management it weakens them in the champions league, for this season City was even very lucky to find Leipzig as opponent, this can make it easier for City to move on to another phase of the European champions league and who knows if they are luckier they also find a weak opponent that they can beat without having too many difficulties, City this time can be champions, they have good players and luck is on their side, but on the other side there in the premier league they are not at the top, they need to win every game and pray that Arsenal lose points, this could make City have to play in the champions league under pressure due to saving players for premier league

PSG eliminated them before actually. But it was a really hard-fought one. Maybe it might be the time for Bayern Munich to have their revenge. PSG need their trio to show their best performances in this matchup.

I think actually Mane has been convincing enough with Munich. So Lewandowski's move is not too much of a problem for Bayern.

Mane will be out of the field for 3 months, that means that even when bayern plays against City mane will not be playing, or at least if he plays he will not be playing with 100% strength, so in that part PSG is really with luck, because it will find a not very strong bayern unless bayern hires another great player, i believe that PSG could beat bayern, before i know about PSG's long stoppage news i would even say that PSG would have no chance to beat bayern playing with mane and all their best players, but without mane bayern is strong but they will be facing another great team and very strong, PSG can win this game

Potter is not a magician, so he can't radically change Chelsea's results in the middle of the season (it's already good that he achieved first place in the Champions League group stage). In terms of the fight for the championship, I think this season is already lost, regardless of what acquisitions will be made in the winter, but there is a chance in the Champions League. I think that if Chelsea finish the season at least in the top 4, then Potter will have the opportunity to fully prepare the club and show himself in the next season.

I don't follow the English football league much, but Chelsea was in the Champions League group with Dinamo and I watched them in both games with Dinamo.
In the first game in Zagreb, Chelsea played very badly, they attacked all the time without a specific plan, trying to score a goal by force.
After that game, I was sure that Chelsea had no chance in the Champions League if they didn't change something immediately. After two rounds, they were last in their Champions League group, which was a big surprise.
New coach Potter completely changed and improved their game.
Chelsea started to play much better and they won all the Champions League games in their group until the end.
In the match with Dinamo in London, it was clear that this is a completely new team, which has a clear game plan and strategy, thanks to the new coach.
It is difficult to say whether they are now favorites to win the Champions League, with such strong teams as Manchester City, Bayern or Real, but I think Chelsea will be a difficult and unpleasant opponent for everyone.
