UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

If previously Chelsea could consider Aubameyang whose quality is not comparable to Ronaldo's, then I think Chelsea can also consider Ronaldo for at least 2 seasons. Short-term contract shouldn't be much of a problem for Chelsea and Ronaldo so I think he's still good for the Premier League especially for teams that need a striker.

But I don't know if Chelsea are interested in signing Ronaldo or not, but his attitude with Manchester United at the end of his contract seems to have been Chelsea's consideration before offering him a contract. So Ronaldo's current situation is really difficult, but he's still a striker worth relying on.

Aubameyang signing was pure tuchel interference in the previous transfers window as tuchel and aubameyang are known have a pretty good relationship between the two. Apart from that, we can see Ronaldo, who has a different quality than Aubameyang, will be Chelsea's target in this transfer season window.

even Aubameyang has not been able to make a good contribution on the Chelsea front line this season so if Chelsea officially gets Ronaldo I think Aubameyang will be Graham second choice in the second half of this season.

On second thought, I think we should consider poor form of Ronaldo as a lack of cooperation with his teammates, not just his age because, in my opinion, Ronaldo's age didn't affect his ability to score goals neither did his age affect his strength and pace on the pitch but I think he's been through a lot lately being a human that has affected his ability to do things they way he ought to do when on the field of play.

Can Ronaldo do well as a Chelsea striker? Yes, he can because he will be welcomed by the fans and the management and the players of Chelsea will love to work with him because just like Manchester City players who will rather not score goals to ensure that Haaland scores a goal in every match Ronaldo will not be under much pressure to get the ball always before he can score goals because his teammates at Chelsea will be doing much of assistance for him to easily score goals.

I speculate on your point above Ronaldo is a little selfish, he is more concerned with individual titles than team achievements. Of course he did, Ronaldo is a player with big ambitions, he always wants to be the best. As long as Messi is still actively playing, Ronaldo will always try to be superior to Messi, even though in reality he cannot surpass some of what Messi has achieved, he will always try to be better than his competitors.

The reason he wants to continue playing in the Champions League is because Messi is there, but if Ronaldo wants to add to his collection of Champions League titles at his current age, Bayern Munich is the right place for him.

I don't agree with you, Aubameyang is young and he adapts very well to the new team, he already proved it in Barcelona and also when he came to Chelsea. And Ronaldo is pursued by failure, it seemed that he would be able to show his best side in the Portuguese team, but something incomprehensible happened, because he spent almost the entire match with Switzerland on the bench. Perhaps the reason was that he was unhappy that he was replaced in the match with Korea, but I did not understand his dissatisfaction, because this match did not decide anything for Portugal. I think that Ronaldo looks like a problem player now, not many will want to buy him.

Real Madrid's victory went as predicted. They can easily finish the resistance given by Frankfurt. Alaba and Benzema were the goalscorers in this win. And once again Benzema can play well, he showed that he still deserves to occupy the position of Real Madrid front line. This is a signal, that Benzema will return to being a frightening figure up front.

Benzema still have the strength to perform better than the beginning of this tournament, despite the injury he went for which he is finally well to join their players after the holiday, so that people will stop panicking that he cannot perform well again. I guess, Real Madrid will win this trophy again in this season if they will not make mistakes to release Benzema to other teams by January, because he has a lot of things to help the team to achieve before he leave the team so that his name will be written in golden pen.

How come Aubameyang is young now?

He is 33 years old now. This is quite an old age for a centre-forward truthfully. I know that there are some examples like Benzema who is still showing very impressive performances. But these examples are limited at the same time. I don't see Aubameyang as one of those players now. He was actually like that while he was playing for Barcelona. He started to bring back his old days by scoring many goals. But after joining Chelsea it looks like he is back to where he was at Arsenal. He still has many more matches to play of course so I hope he improves his game.

Besides Chelsea wouldn't have spent a lot of money for Nkunku if they were happy with Aubameyang's performance. The Nkunku deal should be completed soon.

This season UEFA's champion leauge will be tough for Real Madrid because a lot of teams are well prepared to fight Real Madrid for the title this season. Teams like PSG, Napoli, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City have the qualities to compete and even beat Real Madrid for the title this season. My opinion is that I am tipping PSG for the tittle.

It is doubtful whether Chelsea will get anything better if they add Ronaldo to the team. Because Ronaldo does not have a place in the starting eleven in the national team, due to his poor form. In fact, giving a name can never survive. So the money that Chelsea will buy Ronaldo with, will benefit if they buy two or three other players.

[sana54210]

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.

To say that the manager who won the UCL for you, and overachieved in any category should have some understanding of what the formation and tactics should be. If Chelsea management believed that Tuchel was too strict, then they should have been happy that he is, because it worked, they won the UCL, I think that alone should be good enough reason to wait at least a whole year before firing a manager.

If they saw him for like 5-6 games or something and it didn't look great and fired him, then it was already decided. I know that they probably had Potter in mind beforehand and that means they were looking for any reason to fire Tuchel no matter what happened and fired him right away after few and results.

In fact, giving a name can never survive. So the money that Chelsea will buy Ronaldo with, will benefit if they buy two or three other players.

Can we really say that over one match! Like, Portugal has played 4 games so far in the world cup and Ronaldo has featured in all 4 games, only coming out the bench just once and that's was in the knockout against Korea and someone, he's not a first team player no more, that's hilarious to me.

Ronaldo in Chelsea, I don't think he would do badly. His got all the motivatioms he could get. A team hedged on him, a team aging in all the leagues he loves, the world looking on him with expectations and that's enough to make him want to improve on his performance, help the tea and make his fans proud. He could still do that.

I agree he tends to be competitive at times but that doesn't mean he is selfish, he is human the desire to demand more from himself, that's a good inspiration alone for any player out there.

As for Bayern Munich being the right call for Cristiano Ronaldo I would also say yes but they're currently saying no to him after several attempt's of his agent trying to push him innit that club. They agree he is a good professional but tactics, age and building around yougins are much more importanta.

Me Prayers for his truthfully is to win the FIFA World Cup with Portugal currently, he has been poor but it's so fast hoe they forget Ronaldo has been the only hope for Portugal for years, same as United last season.
It's pretty disheartening that some players in the club and old player's are forcefully chasing him out and wants him to sit on the bench.

Firing and bringing in a new coach is a risk taken by Chelsea. Don't be surprised when the sacking doesn't produce better results than the sacked coach will become a conversation that will corner Chelsea for making a decision too quickly. Also vice versa if the dismissal produces very good results then they will be given credit for doing something very right.
This has already happened between Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea and Graham Potter. Now the best choice in my opinion is to continue to put faith in Graham Potter. And also give him the opportunity to freely get several injections of new players, even with the limitations that Chelsea are currently experiencing.

With dismissal already a decision for Chelsea's management, indeed there is always someone who is cornered because the dismissal was too short when Chelsea lost in the Champions League, but what management might be dissatisfied with Tuchel even though he is a great coach and gave several titles to Chelsea.
The hope for the future is indeed in Graham Potter, even though there are many twists and turns that Chelsea have experienced in the Premier League, but of course, it all takes a long process, it has just started for Graham Potter, at least in a few seasons he can show Chelsea about other support, indeed it will Potter needed to choose the players he would recruit.

Actually, if you look at some of the reports in the media, it's not a matter of whether you are satisfied or not, but it's true that Tuchel and Todd have a slightly different opinion, moreover, maybe we know that Tuchel was very comfortable in the Abramovich era, but in reverse in the Todd era.
There will definitely be some things that can't be fixed when a management reshuffle occurs.
But indeed this is only limited to wild speculation that is happening there, while the truth is clearly unknown, especially with their current separated conditions, so I don't think anyone will reconfirm this.
Chelsea now just have to focus and have to be able to heal some of their core players because that will likely make a difference later.

Ronaldo is definitely not the same Ronaldo we know for many years, he has become very slow and not clinical in front of goal. Talking about team work and cooperation I would say he is still a team player and cooperates with his teammates. From my point of view I think his age is playing a major role in his lack of goals and struggling with his form. I think Ronaldo is close to retirement and much should not be expected from him.

Watching live the match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool is everyone's dream, I really hope to get tickets to be able to watch the match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool live, because this match is a repeat of last year's final, even though Liverpool have not been able to get a win against Real Madrid. Madrid but I'm optimistic that meeting in the last 16 this year will be a comeback for Liverpool to make history and be able to get rid of real Madrid from the last 16 of the Champions League, although it's difficult but I'm sure Luiz Diaz, Mohammad Salah et al can beat Real Madrid at the meeting later.
