UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[SatoPrincess]

PSG has one of the best attacking lineups in Europe at the moment which is even more dangerous than City's attack. The problem of PSG is their defense, same issue Manchester City are facing this season. Manchester city's defense is also not solid this season and playing against PSG's attacking trio they will have to be at their best performance to hold down PSG when they attack so I am expecting a really tough game against in this fixture.

Since becoming a Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has never presented the Champions League trophy to the Etihad stadium. If you look at the depth of the players now it seems that it will be a strong candidate for the championship this season. Now Man City has one of the best strikers in the world, Erling Halaand, in whose regular league he (Halaand) almost always scores goals in every game, so that will be a successor for Man City in going through the UCL round this season.

Pep Guardiola almost 5 years with Manchester City and always failed to give Champion League trophy, not only with Manchester City but also Pep Guardiola failed with Champion League trophy when three years becoming Bayern Munich manager. Current player composition, Manchester City have solid player and this season after arriving Erling Haaland I don't sure with Manchester City get Champion League tittle.

Depending what team face for Manchester City except have against with Real Madrid seems has potential can lead to final, but at early stage if can win against Leipzig on 16 round seems potential this season with first Champion League trophy.

City are Champions League favorites every year and every year they fail in their bid for the title. It is a pity that this year in the 1/8 finals they have an easy opponent (compared, for example, with a pair of Bayern - PSG) and we are unlikely to be able to assess the seriousness of their claims in these games. I hope in 1/4 they will come across Bayern or another serious team capable of beating them. It would be unfair for the tournament favorite to go to the final the easy way (like Liverpool did last year).

Fact, every season when Champion League started Manchester City become candidate or favorite to be the winner but finally they failed get trophy and can't lead until final stage. Last time great achievement from Manchester City journey in Champion League at season 2020/2021 when leading to final stage but failure after beating by Chelsea 1-0.

Last season, Manchester City are strong candidate with Champion League tittle, actually after winning first leg from Real Madrid at semifinal they have confidence on second leg, but Real Madrid comeback winning mentality make City have failed again with Champion League. Actually Manchester City manager's Pep Guardiola not have special performance in Champion League except trophy achievement with Barcelona, has failure with Bayern and almost several season can't bring Champion League trophy for City.

Yes, Guardiola in Bavaria was extremely unsuccessful. He took on a top team and ended up being beaten consecutively by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético in the Champions League over the course of three years. Pretty ironic when you consider that he came to Bayern from La Liga and that under other coaches (before Guardiola and after) Bayern consistently beat Barcelona. The fact that he won the Bundesliga is not worth mentioning - even I would have won it being the head coach of Bayern.

Manchester city's defense is also not solid this season and playing against PSG's attacking trio they will have to be at their best performance to hold down PSG when they attack so I am expecting a really tough game against in this fixture.

Every effort will be made by these two teams to clinch the much coveted Champions League trophy. But in fact their journey was not as smooth as that even though they have team strength that is above the average of other teams. Especially Paris Saint Germain, they have spent a lot of money for them to win the title in the Champions League, but for so many years they have tried until now it has not brought them what they want. To be honest, even this season, I still doubt them to win this season.

[Docnaster]

PSG have long been the most expensive and stars club, with the best players. But they are not in a position to win the Champions League. They last played in the 2020 final against Bayern and lost. Before that and after that, they had no serious success in the Champions League. Bayern have more experience, so they are favourites for me in these matches.

yes, Munich is still a strong team at the moment. no one doubts the quality of the Munich game. but the current situation I think is quite different. PSG with the best squad this season. PSG will never play in the Champions League. they have enough chances to beat Munich.

it will be interesting to see both teams in the quarter-finals or the final. unfortunately, the two teams had to meet in the last 16. Munich might be eliminated here. they had lost their game at the start of the season. now they are improving, but I will still bet on PSG.

PSG has the chances of beating Bayern Munich because they already have the best squad as far as champions league is concerned but that doesn't mean having the best squad can make them win the Champions league.  Their game with Bayern Munich will be so interesting to watch.

PSG squad as always been good in every season, but I think with the arrival of Messi and Neymar ,this year is a special season for them though I don't see them as a winner of the group stage yet, because Bayern Munich is the most formidable Champion league rival after Real Madrid. in the last five years champion league analysis, the winner of the title is determined by the eliminator of bayern Munich or real Madrid or the winners of this Eliminators. For that I see the match between PSG and Bayern Munich to be unpredictable.

it will indeed be difficult to predict the matches between Munich and PSG. PSG with the current squad is indeed the favorite to get to the final. but the opponent in the top 16 at the moment is Munich, it is not easy for them to overthrow with a good game like when they faced the Ligue 1 team.
this requires strategy and tactic coaches to be able to overthrow Munich. some analysts believe PSG's advantage is due to Munich losing their best goalkeeper through injury. but it may not affect Munich.

[GiftedMAN]

They are surely getting to the finals this season I have predicted along time coming that Manchester City and Pep Guardiola will get to the finals.
Another two clubs I'm keen to see how they go through will be both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germany as it will be one of the best top game to view. My opinions are for me alone and I am really seeing Bayern Munich going back home all because they cannot defeat Paris Saint Germany.

Without belittling Bayern Munich, I also agree that PSG is expected to make it to the quarter-finals this season. I didn't expect Bayern Munich to be as strong in the group stages, but I expected it to change a lot in the round of 16 especially because PSG are the opponents. It's up to others how to expect Bayern Munich to beat PSG, but I'd rather expect Paris to go to the quarter-final.

I consider the current PSG trio to be one of the most dangerous forward trio. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are in good form so far despite not having played together in a post-World Cup match. But anything can happen, but PSG must deserve to be in a good place this season.

I know the fact that some years back Paris Saint Germany came so close to winning the Champions League but lost the Champions League to Bayern Munich with a one to nil loss. I have that to recall already but the current trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are like nukes , you don't want to face such a brilliant trio after the impressive world Cup they all had I expect them.to get to the finals, yes they are knocking and sending bayern munich home. I am saying for the second time again.
Manchester City are still on my mind, Pep Guardiola will miss out on the Premier League but grab the Champions League by the balls he will not let go.

[Falconer]

PSG's front line is not in doubt because it is filled with players with big names known as the MNM trio (Mbappe, Neymar, Messi) with extraordinary abilities. If the Bayern Munich camp, their front line is not as great as PSG. I see the weak point of defense not in Bayern Munich, but in the PSG camp.

Their goal productivity in their respective leagues is not much different. PSG with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have scored 46 goals so far. FC Hollywood who only rely on Choupo-Moting who is assisted by Musiala is able to make 49 goals in the Bundesliga.

Since they will be competing in the UEFA Champion League, experience and mentality are far more favored for Bayern to qualify.

The defense of both teams doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment, but I tend to agree that PSG is still too difficult to get out of the pressure of big teams in its last few seasons in the Champions League. But I don't know, this season is expected to be different where PSG managed to answer those doubts by qualifying for the quarter-finals.

PSG has quite good strength in the midfield, it is comparable to the defense and the attackers. While PSG's weakness is that they lack stability in midfield, so that is the problem.

The only advantage that Paris Saint Germain has is that they are reinforced by players who have star titles, without meaning to belittle them I think that in terms of the game Bayern Munich is still better than Paris Sain Gemain, that is my current doubt about them . Indeed, at this time the performance shown by Bayern Munich has decreased slightly when compared to last season, even at the beginning of the season they had a little difficulty getting several negative results in their matches in the Bundesliga, but slowly they were able to get up and return to winning ways.

[Coyster]

Pep and his men didn't get difficult fixtures and with their good form this season they are expected to reach the finals because either of psg and Bayern will drop on the way and either of Liverpool or Madrid will also drop on the way. Before you will understand big teams will all be eliminated and manchester city will be at the finals

This sounds like a feasible theory, but in the CL it is quite difficult to 'brand' a team as being small; yeah, there are of course the bigger teams, with better quality players, bigger budgets, history, etc, these teams are usually amongst the favorites to win the trophy; but even the underdogs sometimes might spring up surprises, they might not go all the way to win the trophy, but they could upset some bigger teams along the way until they are eventually eliminated themselves.

Having said that, i second what you said, the draw somewhat favors City, both their own draw and that of other teams that can be considered contenders for the CL this season, but City can't take anything for granted, they have to put in their best at all times, the CL has proven to be that elusive title for them, and they can't keep their fans waiting for it much longer than this.

That's why pep was aiming for the UCL as the main target for city. City has been winning EPL so many times under him but city never won UCL. that proves that if there's a thing that has not yet achieved by chelsea.
City was never achieved the world club trophy too. Pep said that he wanna try to bring city to be a winner of UCL. This is the most difficult task to be achieved by pep.
As far as i know that even with the strong squad and it would not even able to take UCL. Remember when chelsea was beating city at the final of UCL. I think that's really disappointed for the all players of manchester city.

PSG may not have given France the Champions League trophy they wanted, and they have also consistently given up goals to Bayern Munich in their matches, but a lot has changed in the system since Messi joined. Players like Neymar and Mbappe are good players who were there before him, but Messi has done it before and still has the support to win it. I also believe that Messi is not the only player who is anticipating winning that championship, other players are as well especially now that he is back with the world cup to show his France fans and followers.

After winning the world cup trophy with the Argentina national team, Messi next target is to win the Champions League trophy with PSG. PSG has a good squad to win this championship. The front line they currently have can be a threat to Bayern Munich.
Bringing home the Champions League trophy to France has been PSG dream for a long time. After forming a team with quality players, PSG opportunities are very open. Bayern Munich must be careful with the squad that PSG currently has, especially since the attack line filled with Messi, Mbappe and Neymar is very dangerous when in the opponent's defense area.

Do you expect PSG to crack that egg this season? I seem to feel that vibe from you, but maybe it's just my feeling.
PSG is a team formed with strong financial strength, but as far as we can see from their actions in the Champions League, they always fail. I just need to have my doubts about them, not for red flags but I guess you shouldn't expect much from them.

There is a possibility of success this season, but they have to beat Bayern Munich first. Certainly not an easy task, but if PSG succeed then the move to the next round can be expected. At least I can expect them to be in the semi-finals this season instead of expecting them in the final, it's still tough.

Tottenham have been experiencing some problems. There is a significant drop in their performance level and it reflected on their Premier League matches as well. The Crystal Palace win might be a good morale but they have another tough match against Arsenal this time. Besides their schedule until their Champions League match is very tight and difficult. If they don't finish these matches with positive results in general then it might affect their motivation in the Champions League as well.

Because they haven't been like Liverpool. I mean Tottenham haven't been much different in the EPL and CL in terms of effort.

Presently, just few England top clubs have been able to retain their position in the top four flight. EPL this season is a zone of disarray, any side can win pertaining to their preparation and game plan. We shouldn't expect too much from tottenham. So far this season, every club apart from Arsenal, have lose to clubs that were supposed to be a bonus win to them. It is not a new thing, as long as we all know the clubs that normally fill up the EPL top four pace, let's watch if they could bounce back before the end of the season.

I agree with you that it will be very difficult for Paris Saint Germain to win this Champions League. As you said, maybe this has something to do with them being formed from financial strength that is not accompanied by the mentality of being a champion club. I don't know what other people feel, but for myself doubts always arise when talking about Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. Actually there is nothing wrong with this club, but I think their mentality has to be formed first.

Lately, Tottenham have become a club that is less organized in their game. That's what makes them decrease in performance. Because if you look at the strength of the team, there is no significant change. They slipped a bit and it's still normal as long as they can fix it quickly. But they have to take longer to make them even better, that will be a serious problem that will probably always affect the results of their matches in the Premier League and in the Champions League continued later.

[izsara]

everyone has their own opinion and support, madrid and munich are of course very favored to be able to go to the final because of their track record in the UCL but we also need to know that manchester city and PSG can surprise, I'm sure manchester city will go to the final

City are Champions League favorites every year and every year they fail in their bid for the title. It is a pity that this year in the 1/8 finals they have an easy opponent (compared, for example, with a pair of Bayern - PSG) and we are unlikely to be able to assess the seriousness of their claims in these games. I hope in 1/4 they will come across Bayern or another serious team capable of beating them. It would be unfair for the tournament favorite to go to the final the easy way (like Liverpool did last year).

Well this is the thing that actually still makes them the favorites especially as you said, their opponent is quite easy in the match in the knock out phase this time.
We know that Leipzig are also quite good actually but looking at the comparisons with City it is clear this is a long way off. This could be an easy win for them but there could be some surprises if indeed they still underestimate their opponent like last season when they met Madrid and were comfortable enough until the last 10 minutes of the second leg that their dream finally died within a few minutes.

I think PSG can do something to win Champions League in this season with great performance of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but their weak defense can be something be exploited by Bayern. PSG must show a stronger ability to defend their goalkeeper in order to win Champions League. First to beat Bayern and farther to big other strong clubs in Europe.

Can. Hehehe... They can win this tournament if they beat Bayern. Beating Bayern is not an easy job even though some of their important players are injured.
The speed of Sane and Coman can trouble the declining Ramos and that's one of the obstacles I see in PSG's defense.

PSG has quite good strength in the midfield, it is comparable to the defense and the attackers. While PSG's weakness is that they lack stability in midfield, so that is the problem.

It is also the same to say that PSG is almost perfect compared to Bayern Munich which has a flaw or weak point in the midfield.
It doesn't matter for us to analyze the chances of who will qualify because both teams have strengths and weaknesses.

After winning the world cup trophy with the Argentina national team, Messi next target is to win the Champions League trophy with PSG. PSG has a good squad to win this championship. The front line they currently have can be a threat to Bayern Munich.
Bringing home the Champions League trophy to France has been PSG dream for a long time. After forming a team with quality players, PSG opportunities are very open. Bayern Munich must be careful with the squad that PSG currently has, especially since the attack line filled with Messi, Mbappe and Neymar is very dangerous when in the opponent's defense area.

Almost every football fan thinks PSG will triumph in this edition of the champions league but I have strong doubts about the club. They might currently have the best attack in club football currently but that isn't enough to win you trophies. It's an adage that attack win you games but the defence wins you trophies. PSG are supposedly lacking mostly in the midfield area because I don't see any quality or creative midfielder there. And just like last season when Madrid exposed them to steal a victory from them I think they could still make same mistake season.

Another biggest worry for PSG is the lack of pressing from there attackers. On the ball they are the best but off it they offer shiit and are just passer-bys when it is needed to defend. A team like Bayern Munich with their energetic Midfield combo of Goreztska and Kimmich will need Messi and Co to pay more attention to defending.

Lastly PSG might need a leader to help when the team is down which usually happens in the champions league. Ronaldo had use his leadership skills to spark comebacks but Messi isn't such a talker but at least they could have one should Ramos stays fit. The coach experience also matters a lot and I don't see PSG having that kinda of a manager currently In their dugout.

The criterias for winning champions league is more than just having the best players but also the mentality and experience Is needed, so till that match PSG should be considered the outright favourites just yet
