UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[bitgolden]

The champions league is going to begin again after the world cup,and we would see which team can come out to win it. Real Madrid did an excellent job last season winning their league and the champions league as Karim Benzema went on to be the highest goal scorer in Lalliga and also winning the Ballon d'or for the year.
It was indeed his season,but this year seems to be a different season altogether,he hasn't score enough goals as he did last season,although the season has not gotten anywhere yet,but Barcelona's Lewandowski has began to show his goal scoring abilities in the Laliga,and might move ahead of Benzema in winning the  goalden boot this year.

It will start on valentines day if I am not wrong. That means it is about 2+ months away right now, the world cup will end at 18th, most nations are gone by that point, which means that many many players will relax for 2 months until UCL comes back. Of course leagues will start back but for majority of these clubs it's like taking a break and then having a training.

Bayern vs PSG for example, both Bayern and PSG are playing in a league that is far inferior compared to them, and that means we are going to end up with a few games before their game where they will just train and get into match shape, nothing more for them, not really a difficulty to beat their league opponents.

Personally, I don't trust Graham Potter. I don't know why Chelsea management sacked an experienced coach like Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea won titles on platforms like the Champions League with a mediocre squad under Tuchel's help. I think if Tuchel was given enough time and funds he would have been able to strengthen and stabilize the Chelsea team.

No nothing would had changed as coaches like Thomas Tuchel are very one sided and refuses to adjust their formation to suit things. Thomas Tuchel couldn't change his formation even when things weren't working and kept on playing the same prayers even when they aren't giving the team results. Thomas Tuchel also downgraded all our youths talents and when his first team choices weren't performing, instead of him to acknowledge his mistakes, he kept on making them while insisting he isn't making a mistake not playing this youngsters.

Thomas Tuchel chase alway many young players that were meant to be the future of Chelsea. Graham Potter on the other hands welcomes everybody and watch out for who best suit his version for the club. Graham Potter will succeed at Chelsea, it's just a matter of time. Thomas Tuchel met an inform young blood built by Frank lampard and he just had to guide them to get success from them. Graham is trying to work with players Thomas Tuchel bought that weren't necessary.

I think that is a pinpointed difference about both managers, Tuchel believes and trusts in his top players and disregarding the youth talents in the team while potter embraces them and is willing to give everyone a chance because who knows how instrumental they could be in the team, I guess that should be the real reason Tuchel was sacked in the first place because I have heard different sides to the story and most people are saying the same thing about Tuchel's poor communication skills and poor tactics.

It is of course true that Bayern Munich and PSG have little competition in the relevant competitions. But I don't think that opposition will affect their level in the CL. PSG has had some bad luck that they finished 2nd in the group, although they failed to beat benfica twice. PSG also did well in the group stage of the CL and Bayern also had no problems. Such teams are very experienced, they don't need motivation to recharge themselves for the upcoming matches. I think City will easily go through against RB Leipzig. Bayern-PSG? Yes, that can go both ways. It's a pity that 1 of those 2 teams is already leaving the tournament.

[SatoPrincess]

I don't think Mane's absence will affect Bayern Munich's performance as a whole, because players who can score goals at Bayern Munich are not only Mane. In fact, other players have more and better goals than Mane, so I personally don't think Bayern Munich will be weak just because Mane is injured.
Also, whether or not Mane will be present in the match against PSG, basically it will be a difficult match for both teams because whatever the result can be.

But indeed, at least if Mane can be played in that match then of course it will be better for Bayern Munich than without Mane. But besides that, there will be a transfer window that will open before the start of the Champions League, and with the transfer market before the Champions League starts again, of course Bayern Munich must move quickly to get new players, especially pure strikers.
That way, there is still plenty of time for all teams to improve and strengthen their squad in the transfer window, as they still have time to be able to improve their team's performance after the World Cup.

Sadio Mane’s absence will be felt in the squad, if not for anything his presence alone presents the coach with more options in their attack so his absence will surely be felt but there are still other players that will fill in, in his absence and can still put up good performances for the team but in terms of weakness and strength I don't think the team will be weak without Sadio Mane, they can still play and win games comfortably without him. Sadly, I can’t say the same for his former club, Liverpool.

bayern munich is stronger in the champions league this season, when bayern munich faces psg in the round of 16 for sure these two teams will have the same quality ratio of players in both teams. lionel messi, neymar and mbappe became the spearhead of psg this season and even the psg trio became the most feared trio this season.

Manchester city will get an easy opponent in the round of 16, of course it is believed that Pep Guardiola will easily win that match because Haaland presence this season has turned Manchester City into a very strong club when Haaland is in action on the front lines. don't forget to see napoli they are a dark horse team who is a serious challenger for big team team.

It's a tricky question because Tuchel became a sophisticated manager and maybe he really paid attention to the top players, even though he used to start out as a Potter and trust young players who were full of desire. It's a question of opportunity, Tuchel has become a top coach and his opportunities have changed, in such conditions the mindset also changes.

Yes, that can go both ways. It's a pity that 1 of those 2 teams is already leaving the tournament.

From my point of view, these two teams have their strengths and weaknesses. PSG has the MNM Trio, Bayern Munich has productive players, each of whose players are capable of scoring goals. PSG sometimes let their guard down in defense, Bayern Munich is quite strong in defense. even on several occasions when the Bayern Munich coach was interviewed, Nagelsmann was a little annoyed if Bayern Munich would meet PSG in the round of 16 later. because in terms of probability, these two teams have the potential to overthrow each other. what is certain is that in the match later, this match will present a match with a hot atmosphere with high game tension. Meanwhile, when PSG were held to a draw by Bencifa. I think Bencifa's defense is quite solid and they tend to play defensively and counterattack when they have the chance.

as for City, they shouldn't have any problems against RB Leipzig. because after all, in strength and readiness City is better than Leipzig. it's just that, they shouldn't underestimate their opponent. because after all, Leipzig has one dangerous striker.

Thomas Tuchel was monogamous, it's true. But still he was a very experienced coach. I would say Chelsea management should have given Tuchel enough time and given him a chance. But the Chelsea management has not given Tuchel enough opportunities this season. Was Chelsea's squad strong enough this season? I don't think so. The weakness in the Chelsea team is not only tactical. Their squad also lacks talented players. And because of this Graham Potter has not been able to stabilize this team yet. Graham Potter may be able to stabilize the team, but Chelsea management will definitely need to spend money and build a squad with more talented players.

bayern munich is stronger in the champions league this season, when bayern munich faces psg in the round of 16 for sure these two teams will have the same quality ratio of players in both teams. lionel messi, neymar and mbappe became the spearhead of psg this season and even the psg trio became the most feared trio this season.

I'm still a little doubtful for the Bayern Munich team in the Champions League this season, especially since Bayern Munich has to face PSG, who are clearly still very strong this season. Even though the match can be very exciting and fierce, I doubt Bayern Munich can win the match even though the quality of the players is not that much different from PSG.

Manchester city will get an easy opponent in the round of 16, of course it is believed that Pep Guardiola will easily win that match because Haaland presence this season has turned Manchester City into a very strong club when Haaland is in action on the front lines. don't forget to see napoli they are a dark horse team who is a serious challenger for big team team.

Manchester City's opponent in the last 16 of the Champions League is RB Leipzig and yes the team is not that strong this season, although sometimes Leipzig can also provide unexpected surprises this season so Manchester City must also be more vigilant about their opponents in the last 16 of the Champions League season. Napoli will face Frankfurt in the last 16 of the Champions League and I'm sure the Napoli team will definitely be able to win the game even if not in such an easy way.

All coaches must have criteria for the players they choose, that also happened to Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter. What's different is that maybe they're out of luck when they get bad results from players they trust. This is something that is normal in the world of football, even a top coach will definitely experience ups and downs during his coaching period as well as for an player.

[KTChampions]

If Potter doesn't change the trajectory Chelsea took under Tuchel, he won't have another season. These are the modern realities - you do not have time to "prepare", you must immediately show at least some result, and if it is good, you have a chance to work further to show an even better result.

Signing Ronaldo will most likely be a marketing ploy, but with all his age he has not lost his sense of goal and he still has a shot, so in some games even without playing all 90 minutes he can be useful.

I think Chelsea would be foolish to sign Cristiano Ronaldo at this moment. Because Cristiano Ronaldo is not performing well at the moment, one of the examples of which is that he was not included in the starting XI of his home country Portugal's World Cup match. Because Portugal's coach knows that Cristiano Ronaldo's legendary style of play no longer exists.

If we take only marketing goals, then it does not matter how Ronaldo plays. He remains one of the most popular athletes worldwide. Chelsea will buy him for free, which may not be such a stupid decision even if Ronaldo keeps his huge salary. And I don't think that Ronaldo is already that bad (more precisely, he became bad in just a year) - last year he was the top 3 scorer in the Premier League and this year he is retired? Hard to believe.

Lately, Chelsea has received a lot of scrutiny from several parties, whether it's because of team management problems which are considered unable to fully restore Chelsea's identityor even team performance that doesn't meet expectations. But what is clear is that Chelsea managed to finish as winners of Group E in the Champions League competition, even though with a record of four wins from a total of six matches, that was a good start.

And I don't think that Ronaldo is already that bad (more precisely, he became bad in just a year) - last year he was the top 3 scorer in the Premier League and this year he is retired? Hard to believe.

When it comes to age, you can't do anything when age is no longer by your side, particularly in football game which involves strength, agility, Mental energy, and lot more to play. Looking at his performance in this world, it's clearly seen that he has nothing much to offer in the field Play, and I don't really think that he suits the kind of striker that Chelsea needs right now.

However, buying him is still not that bad since he's on free transfer and there are other striker already in Chelsea.

I don't think Mane's absence will affect Bayern Munich's performance as a whole, because players who can score goals at Bayern Munich are not only Mane. In fact, other players have more and better goals than Mane, so I personally don't think Bayern Munich will be weak just because Mane is injured.

Sadly, I can’t say the same for his former club, Liverpool.

Sadio Mane an incredibly good experienced footballer. He spent most of his football career at Liverpool. Now he has joined Bayern Munich and has shown good performances ahead of the World Cup. Perhaps Sadio Mane is currently injured which will affect the Bayern Munich club.

Napoli have performed well ahead of the World Cup. As some of Napoli's players have played in the World Cup, their performance may change. But I am also sure with you that Napoli will win the next match in a big way. And their good performance will continue.

And I don't think that Ronaldo is already that bad (more precisely, he became bad in just a year) - last year he was the top 3 scorer in the Premier League and this year he is retired? Hard to believe.

ronaldo's situation is not good, he is not even being featured in this world cup in the portuguese team, he is not managing to score many goals and for a striker that is simply something very bad, looking at him on the field sometimes it looks like he's not a striker, and I'm not exaggerating, I'm serious, that with the poor performance he's having in this world cup, there's no doubt that if there were any European teams interested in him then at this time they must be losing interest because he's not he is managing to score a lot of goals, and it makes no sense to take a striker who does not score many goals, ronalo is in a position where he can only go to arabia or retire because I very much doubt he will be able to play in europe in some great team, I don't know what happened to him, since this new coach appeared Ronaldo has not been the same as in the past, what happened to him?

[hahay]

However, buying him is still not that bad since he's on free transfer and there are other striker already in Chelsea.

However, the main problem for Ronaldo is that he is too ambitious to achieve the highest achievement and with such great ambition, Ronaldo will never be able to accept if he is too often on the bench. Even though each coach also has his own strategy which of course will make some players unable to play in all the matches, when they don't match the strategy used at that time.
Also, if Ronaldo still really has good gameplay then of course Ronaldo will continue to be played as a starter, no matter how old he is because if Ronaldo fits the strategy implemented then of course the coach will also continue to play him.

But what has happened lately, even Ronaldo does not always play the full 90 minutes or play from the bench, when compared to Messi the situation is very different because Messi can still be relied on by the team in every match.
Therefore, if there are no more big teams who are going to sign Ronaldo, then it would be better for Ronaldo to retire, because it will only be useless if Ronaldo continues to force it but in the end Ronaldo will only be on the bench more often.

Yes, that can go both ways. It's a pity that 1 of those 2 teams is already leaving the tournament.

When PSG and Bayern Munich meet, their match will be really competitive. Bayern Munich is performing well, but one of their team players, Sadio Mane, is injured, which will have some impact on the team in that match. On the other hand, PSG's three attacking players are in good form with their national team. Hope to enjoy a great match between PSG and Bayern Munich after the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't better performance in World Cup with 1 goal scored trough penalty kick from 4 matches with Portugal at World Cup 2022 I don't think any Champion League team participants want to signing him, although have been free agent I don't think easy for Cristiano Ronaldo get contract with team still in 16 round of Champion League. He has underperformance at World Cup and difficult give more contribution for his national team not only less scoring goals but also he has bad statistic with Portugal without any assists created.

Still possibility and easy for Cristiano Ronaldo reach contract with team participant in Europe League but he needs cut off salary more than 30% until 50%, difficult for any team want to pay him based on salary received with Manchester United except he has join with Saudi Arabia team.

[Coyster]

Hope to enjoy a great match between PSG and Bayern Munich after the World Cup.

It is going to be a great match of course, but with quite a lot of pressure, especially for PSG who can't afford to be eliminated in the RO16 for the second season running, they will also have it at the back of their minds that after last season's elimination, their fans really had a go at them, and some players were booed even in their own stadium, the dissatisfaction from the fans was so evident that it threatened to break up the team, with some players looking to leave, but good thing they stuck together and are now a much stronger team than they were last season. Having said that, it is one of those games that is unpredictable, but if i am to just randomly pick a winner, then i'd say PSG would go through, they look to me like a much stronger force than Bayern Munich this season, and the front three of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe might prove too strong for Bayern Munich.
