UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Republikcoin.com]

The type of commitment and fight that Messi gave in the World Cup on behalf of Argentina he cannot give it for any club at his age. What he did in the World cup was the last fight of his career which he gave it all spiritually and physically. I don't think there is any motivation that will be up to what he had in the World Cup .
PSG fans should instead look upto to Mbappe to deliver them.

These two players are actually still very good for the PSG team to rely on this season, so there is no need to ignore one of them and rely only on one of them. Because the more players a team can rely on, the better it will be for the team. After all, the opponent that PSG will face is also not a bad team this season, so PSG needs to make sure all their players are fit and reliable in every game.

PSG needs to get better motivation this season for a title in the Champions League, because PSG has never had a Champions League trophy during the team's career in the Champions League. So for this season PSG should be more motivated to get trophies so that their historical record gets better even though it won't be immediately on par with several teams that have won several trophies in the Champions League.

They are not too bad goalkeepers but are not at highest level. In Champions League, defense is important because if you can not protect your goal and get conceded goals from strong opponents, you will likely not be able to beat them. Goalkeepers are important too and people say they are about 50% of a club strength. It can be an exaggeration but it says about a truth of goalkeeper importance.

For me the strength of the team is collectively more influential, nobody stands out not even the goalkeeper, imagine if they have Manuel Neuer but their defense is weak then the end result won't be any worse than using an inexperienced keeper. It's true that the Champions League needs players of the highest quality and experience, but Sven Ulreich and Johannes Schenk also need to be given a chance.

PSG on paper are considered as a stronger team but again we should check at past seasons. PSG failed in many seasons in many pairs when they were considered as a stronger team.

With best of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi, PSG are dangerous in attacking but in World Cup 2022 and lately in Ligue 1, we saw that Marquinhos can be a weakness of PSG defense. It might be their dead point in matches with Bayern.

All preparations have been made, the match between PSG and Bayern Munich is indeed the most crucial match and is awaited by many people, PSG has a trio of attackers who are in their best condition at the moment, while Bayern Munich also has reliable strikers who can collaborate to make it difficult for PSG's defense .

Bayern Munich's biggest weakness at the moment is not being strengthened by the main goalkeeper. For me this doesn't really play a big role, because the backup keeper they have also has quality, although not the same as Manuel Neuer.

Bayern are at a disadvantage without Neuer. He's not only a good keeper but he's also a leader. With him at the back of the Bayern defenders they have confidence. No disrespect to the back up goal keepers but for Bayern to win they really need to step. Neuer is the kind of keeper that can decide games for you. And the trio of Neymer, Mbappe and Messi are all in a very good form. I think PSG will win Bayern and qualify cause not only do they have the better attack (on paper) but they also have a very good midfield now. The addition of Fabian Ruiz to the PSG midfield makes them a very good team together with Verratti.

On paper, PSG are favored because they are playing at home, while PSG's attacking trio are also in their best condition. This is the moment they are trying to take advantage of, because talking about the strength of the team this season with the previous season also has the same players. That means there are not many changes they have in facing Bayern Munich in the knockout stages later.

Manuel Neuer is a general on the pitch as well as a leader who can make an impact on his team but if reserve goalkeepers are never given the chance you will never know how good they are on the pitch and in important games. I think one of the back-up keepers will give a positive result and they will get the best chance of the game.

Bayern Munich cannot afford to miss some good players in this game against PSG. Both teams are considered the strongest teams in the world, but the difference is that the bench at PSG is a bit stronger. PSG have big ambitions to win the CL, but in Bayern Munich they may have the strongest opponent imaginable. Speaking of strong teams, I can remember a match where Bayern Munich completely outplayed Manchester City and eventually won 1-3. That was perhaps the best game ever played by a team in the CL. But that City team no longer exists, then they were really a lot less than now.

The matchup of Bayern Munich  vs Paris saint germain is definitely the highlight of the first round of the knockout stage this year. It is kinda sad that this match happens so early in the competition because both teams involved definitely belong to the big favorites to win the Champions League this year. For me the outcome of this match is totally open. PSG probably has a little more quality in the offense, but Bayern is a very strong team with good players on every position.

The match will be tough and it will be difficult to predict. As you said, that these two teams have an advantage over each other, and that will probably be their weapon in this round of 16 tie. Paris Saint Germain we know they have a more luxurious squad than Bayern Munich but that doesn't mean they will be able to win easily. Maybe they can pull off an easy win when they are in Ligue 1, but for the Champions League, it could be something upside down.

Two different league headers in Germany and France
Bayern loss of goalkeeper won't stop them from winning Psg they still have time to get a new goalkeeper
Both of them met in the finals years back and Bayern Munich still won

Bayern Munich and PSG are very strong.   Am still scared about PSG.  PSG is a team that has the best squad in the world.  Bayern is capable of defeating PSG  but it  won't easy for them when PSG already has players that can be considered as world best  .

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I believe either Manchester City, Liverpool or Napoli will win this season because they're very hungry to get this trophy.

Manchester city and Liverpool are definitely potential winners of the tournament because their side are playing very good football and have the squad to win other strong contenders in the tournament but what's Napoli doing in that statement. They have no chance of winning the champions league even with Osimhen been on the form. I'm even suspecting him leaving the club this January as he has many interest all over Europe and he better take his chances now and go to a more profile club.

Fans will be counting on Messi to bring same spirit from the world cup to the champions league and help PSG win the champions League.

Was Messi the best player at the world cup? He wasn't, he just scored cheap penalties and was favored all through the world cup just because the officials wanted him to win and it was obvious. I don't think they'll favor him in the champions league. PSG aren't winning the champions league until they let go of signing superstar and focus on signing players that still have alot to prove and put all on the line on the field.

The quality of individual players does not necessarily mean that the team is the best. If so, Brazil would be the world champion in football, and Manchester City and PSG would already be European champions several times.
There are many rumors that the relations between the biggest stars of PSG are not good, especially Mbappe's relations with Neymar and Messi.
A team is not only the sum of the individual qualities of the players, but it is also important that the team is focused and united on a common goal.
It seems that this has not really been the case with PSG in recent years.

[Docnaster]

Fans will be counting on Messi to bring same spirit from the world cup to the champions league and help PSG win the champions League.

And this why mostly fans's prediction are goes wrong

Messi already get every international trophies, so he's doesn't need to try hard, chill or have a party and play for fun only. Messi has a lot spirit on world cup because he haven't get it, now the spirit already gone, we will see it on the next 2 months PSG will only can reach to semi final.

I believe either Manchester City, Liverpool or Napoli will win this season because they're very hungry to get this trophy.

Messi is a professional footballer, and forbthe love of the profession, professionals don't think that way. Mesi has laid hand on his greatest football dream, but that doesn't mean he has completely lost interest in achieving more, because I believe PSG didn't just sign him for his already made achievement, they did so because they needed him to help them achieve more. Messi is still much concerned about helping PSG grap the champion league as expected.

[Tumanggor]

yes, of course Bayern Munich will prepare a replacement for Neuer as a goalkeeper because of course Bayern Munich has struggled so far to reach the last 16 of the Champions League later against PSG is not an easy opponent of course Bayern Munich needs to prepare their players really well to fight PSG later

Let's see how Messi and Mbappe will play with Bayern, these guys are World Cup finalists, PSG's attack can now be considered one of the most dangerous. Moreover, it will be doubly difficult for Bayern without Neuer. Bayern's attack is also very strong, so there can be many goals in matches between these teams. If PSG eventually manages to get past Bayern and win the Champions League, then this will be a triumph for the stellar pair of strikers.

PSG's attacking trio in Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in top form from the world cup and will be a tough group to defend against in the Champions league. Facing PSG at this time will be a tough test for Bayern Munich especially in the absence of Neuer their top choice keeper. Bayern Munich's attack is also strong and can also cause troubles for PSG's defense in the coming game. Fans will be counting on Messi to bring same spirit from the world cup to the champions league and help PSG win the champions League.

PSG is not an easy opponent for Bayern, from their 11 meetings so far, PSG won 6, drew 0 and Bayern won 5 times

if we look at the strengths of the two teams, then PSG has a better squad composition than Bayern, and PSG's front line is very solid, Bayern's chances of winning are likely to be small

not only because of the arrival of Messi. PSG brought in some of the world's top players for one ambition. of course with the squad currently owned by PSG, they should have a high probability of competing for the Champions League trophy.
Messi could have made new history for him when he helped PSG win the UCL trophy. PSG has spent quite a lot of money on it. Because the domestic league competition is not so tight, PSG must prepare its strength.

With the Haaland project. Manchester City is one of the clubs that is frightening for their opponents, especially if The Citizen brings in several players this January. for sure, will add strength to their squad later. but not for Liverpool this year, I'm quite optimistic that Klopp will eventually be able to lead his squad to finish in the top four in the domestic league. however, their consistency in carrying out their matches has not proven to be stable. What's more, Liverpool have a very tough opponent, apart from their opponents having big names, they also have a winning mentality that the current candidates don't have, namely, Man City and PSG.

Speaking of Napoli, there are many rumors surrounding Victor Osimhen's departure this January. but I doubt it, although rumor has it that Nopoli is in need of a sizable financial fund. chances are, Osimhen will be released by Napoli in the next summer window.

as for Messi, everyone has the right to express his opinion including you. but for sure, he has ensured that he and his country won the world cup. for the Champions League, however, Messi is one of the important players to realize PSG's dream of winning the champions league trophy for the first time. even then, if PSG manages to become a finalist in this competition.

But I personally don't think PSG have any chance of winning the Champions League title. Because PSG's attack is good enough but their defense line-up needs some improvement. PSG will understand their weaknesses when they play against big teams.

The money spent by Paris Saint Germain to make them a star-studded team is fantastic, but when it comes to the Champions League, money is not a factor where they will easily get a trophy. So this is what they have to realize, the effort that costs a fantastic amount has not yet brought them a trophy, they have to do homework to achieve their dream achievement in the Champions League.

[swogerino]

It is official now,we are not going to see Cristiano Ronaldo at Champions League games of 2023,he choose Al Nassr to play with in the Middle East.Many will not be happy with this choice but I think we can all agree it was an economic choice,he is becoming 38 in February and he has signed a contract that will give him with the total benefits from publicity and all others about 500 million in 2 years,who would not make such move for 2 years.Personally if I were him I would even go and play with all the penguin in the North or South pole,don't remember well where they are  .

What are your thoughts at such move?

But I personally don't think PSG have any chance of winning the Champions League title. Because PSG's attack is good enough but their defense line-up needs some improvement. PSG will understand their weaknesses when they play against big teams.

PSG should immediately evaluate this before they meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League, because a team like Bayern Munich is not a small and weak team. But Bayern Munich is a big team that is often a threat in the Champions League and Bayern Munich is a very balanced opponent for PSG in the Champions League this season, so the PSG team must immediately evaluate if there are weaknesses in certain lines within the team.

Young players play a vital role to win a match and if it is the match of Champions league then it will effect more. I personally think PSG should sign some young players to strong their midfield and defense. I don't think that their defense line and midfielders are well enough to fight in champions league.

This PSG VS Bayern Munich match is going to be a really interesting one as none of the teams are 100% fit. Bayern Munich have a lot of injury problems and PSG have some internal problems going on with their players which have increased after the World Cup, in my opinion.

If I am not wrong Bayern Munich's Sadio Mané will be injured for their next game which is going to be a big blow for Bayern Munich. And as you said individual performances matter very less in these competitive football games.

PSG spent a lot of money to win the Champions League title. They have added the world's best players like Lionel Messi to the team. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are among the best players in the team. Now just waiting to see how they perform in the Champions League.

True, but Psg is a team with a strong enough squad to be champions in UCL.  They have a team quality above the French league.  Now they want to win this trophy in return for the money they spent to win the UCL.  This is also possible for psg.  Psg has this staff quality.  Along with Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, the level of squad quality is much higher.  They are one of the best candidate teams again this year.

The match between PSG and Bayern Munich will be very competitive. Both the teams have very good players who will fight hard to show their potential. However, one of Bayern Munich's players, Sadio Mane, would have been stronger if he had joined the team. But he will probably miss this game due to his injury.

It is official now,we are not going to see Cristiano Ronaldo at Champions League games of 2023,he choose Al Nassr to play with in the Middle East.Many will not be happy with this choice but I think we can all agree it was an economic choice,he is becoming 38 in February and he has signed a contract that will give him with the total benefits from publicity and all others about 500 million in 2 years,who would not make such move for 2 years.Personally if I were him I would even go and play with all the penguin in the North or South pole,don't remember well where they are  .

What are your thoughts at such move?

at least if at Al Nassr Ronaldo is highly valued and valued at a large fee I don't think it's a problem, because he will certainly be close to retirement too and enjoy old age with enough money from a 2-year contract with the club that will suffice his needs in old age later, lol
but whatever it is, at least this news dismissed the news circulating that Ronaldo will play for the club in the UCL, Al Nassr has officially announced it too, whatever it is, it is a decision that must be respected
