UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Pesona1]

PSG and Munich are no exception. both of these teams, experienced several problems after carrying out their matches in the second half of this season. Mbappe is reportedly injured, and must be sidelined for the next three weeks. most likely, Mbappe will be absent in the first leg when PSG counter Bayern Munich.

meanwhile, Bayern is struggling to return to its best form after experiencing three matches without a win. of course, a draw is not something satisfying for Nagelsmann. plus, several of their key players are still wracked with injuries although Munich still has other options. however, it looks like these two teams are not in a pleasant situation considering that the round of 16 will soon be held.

Mbappe injury has indeed dealt a significant blow to PSG but that doesn't mean we will see PSG weaken, PSG can still rely on Messi to score goals and I think Galtier still has other players who are worthy of replacing Mbappe later in the match againts Munich, both teams really not in ideal conditions but that doesn't mean we won't see exciting matches and of course PSG and Munich will try their best to get a ticket to the quarterfinals later even when the team is limping.

Even though PSG and Bayern Munich have not been able to maintain their best performance in the domestic league

Both teams are Giants in their league and they both have a set of formidable squad that are in Thier best forms this season. About the UCL list of champions, that's unarguably true that they've got a good spot to compete for the trophy.
It's gotten really exciting and fun as these two best teams are set to vye for the next round, though mbappe hasn't an option but to stay out of the game due to injuries as you said; I think PSG would still move on with a clean 3 points -- might not actually be a cleansheet though, but Messi has alot to do .... let's see how it goes....

Mbappe injury has indeed dealt a significant blow to PSG but that doesn't mean we will see PSG weaken, PSG can still rely on Messi to score goals and I think Galtier still has other players who are worthy of replacing Mbappe later in the match againts Munich, both teams really not in ideal conditions but that doesn't mean we won't see exciting matches and of course PSG and Munich will try their best to get a ticket to the quarterfinals later even when the team is limping.

Mbappe is the most powerful player in PSG, in my opinion. Undoubtedly, His absence will affect the ability of finding solutions if PSG fail to score, as he was the saver in many matches. On the other hand, Sadio Mane might be ready to play this match, and that can give big boost to Bayern Munich's attack, which was suffering in the last few matches. I'm watching how the match's odds will react to this news.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The way I see how the match is going to play at, I think Chelsea will likely win at Dortmund home while Dortmund will try to get a draw at least but that won't be possible. Chelsea has the highest chance of winning at the Stanford bridge because they are going to be playing in front of their fans and they won't want to disappoint them. People thinking Chelsea is going to be terrible has to realized that this isn't the premier League, this is the Champions League so things might likely play at differently.

The bookmarkers don't always get their prediction right and don't forget that something they might be doing this kind of rating on purpose to attract betters. They on purpose give out bad rating to the favorite team, for instance, the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid is having Liverpool as the favorite when we all know, Real Madrid are by far superior.

I have to agree with the assumption that the Champions League has different interests than every team there is. Chelsea are indeed in a disadvantageous condition in the Premier League, but it looks like they are not allowing conditions to be as bad in the Champions League against Dortmund.

The chance will be equal for both teams, but Chelsea are the favorites over Dortmund in the Champions League. If Haaland was still in Dortmund, then I think Dortmund would be the favourites. I like Chelsea to reach the quarter-finals, but Dortmund for whatever reason will definitely try to give their best to win it. I just don't want to say Chelsea are better, but they are an experienced team in the Champions League.

Chelsea has work to do if they're to win the the game against Dortmund, they have to find them selves today training and loving like Pep Guardiola

Dortmund are great counter attacking side, Chelsea are also an attacking side but don't look like a club to win the Champions League, without having fair treatments. New signatures are being made with the new Chelsea, gradually they'll find themselves.
The Champions League would be live broadcast about it.

Well, this is one of the things that can sound very high level when you say that Dortmund can counterattack and yes, analyzing their style it is completely like that, they defend very well but in part they take advantage of the speed of their players to make the best plays, this is something to consider from Dortmund, however I don't know which strategy is better, in the long run this is better than attacking all the time, because in a moment Chelsea if they attack a lot they will wear out and they will not be able to maintain the level as to run the same, that's when Dortmund can fully take the advantage, it's something that should be considered by the technical directors, especially Chelsea.

Mbappe injury has indeed dealt a significant blow to PSG but that doesn't mean we will see PSG weaken, PSG can still rely on Messi to score goals and I think Galtier still has other players who are worthy of replacing Mbappe later in the match againts Munich, both teams really not in ideal conditions but that doesn't mean we won't see exciting matches and of course PSG and Munich will try their best to get a ticket to the quarterfinals later even when the team is limping.

On the other hand, Sadio Mane might be ready to play this match, and that can give big boost to Bayern Munich's attack, which was suffering in the last few matches. I'm watching how the match's odds will react to this news.

Well, there are many who bet that Mbappé is the strongest, although I don't see it that way, I say that the Neymar/Messi combination is much more effective, also that the two of them get along very well in real life and are very good friends. I think that helps them a lot on the field of play, also we cannot forget that Messi is the number 1 player in the world, world champion and that has a great weight on Mbappé, in the same way we have seen PSG lose when playing with him trident, and as I said before, since the Qatar udial we have seen that in football everything can happen and everything is within the possibilities that anything can happen.

PSG's Mbappe could play against Bayern despite injury-Nagelsmann

BERLIN, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Friday he expected Paris St Germain striker Kylian Mbappe to play against them in their Champions League last 16 first leg on Feb. 14 despite having been ruled out with an injury for three weeks.

PSG said on Thursday Mbappe would be out for three weeks after sustaining a thigh injury. The 24-year-old had limped off during the first half of PSG's 3-1 win at Montpellier on Wednesday.

Mbappe is undoubtedly a great player. He did a great performance. However, Neymar and Messi's bonding with Mbappe is not good. We are not getting the expected performance from this trio. PSG's performance in the match will depend on Messi and Neymar if Mbappe cannot play in this match. If this duo plays well then PSG can win.
Sadio Mane has yet to settle into Munich. I would say Bayern Munich are not using coach Sadio Mane properly. This is why we are not seeing good performances from Bayern Munich's attack.

Breaking News!

Aubameyang has been dropped from Chelsea's official UCL squad and has signed Joao Felix, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez in the squad. We know that Aubameyang has rarely been played by coach Graham Potter this season, I don't know for sure whether his performance has decreased or he has personal problems with the coach. However, with Aubameyang dropping out, it is certain that some of the players who have been bought or borrowed by Chelsea will be able to take part in the UCL competition later.

[judas]

Dortmund - Chelsea is another matchup I'm quite curious about. In fact Chelsea are quite favourite side to advance to next stage. But I still can't be sure about them now.

They have two more Premier League matches before taking on Dortmund in Signal Iduna Park. I'm curious about especially Mudryk's performance in these matches. He has a potential to add a big amount of strength to the attacking line. If Chelsea get positive results in these matches they will get more ready for Dortmund. Otherwise Dortmund seem really solid recently and it reflects on their results as well. They might be able to surprise Chelsea and make serious difficulties for them.

[SquallLeonhart]

PSG versus Bayern Munich is one interesting game I can't wait to see, this game holds much expectations and anticipation and I'm sure it will be very intense. We all know how competitive the Champions league games are, there is no other European club competition beats it. PSG have to be fully prepared for this clash because Bayern Munich are not a side to joke around with or underestimate. It’s a shame Kylian Mbappe will be absent in this match due to the injury he sustained in the Montpellier game. PSG will have to do without him for a couple of weeks.

This is one of the most competitive and exciting matches of this round of Champions League. Both teams are strong. And the burning issue is that both teams are aiming for the Champions League title. And so no team wants to draw or lose in this match. Both Munich and PSG have some weaknesses now. The performance of the players has deteriorated slightly. But they still have enough time to fine-tune their squad. Hopefully both teams will return to form before the Champions League match.

Every team goes out there to win, but some teams know that they can't, they just know it, like I highly doubt Brugge would be looking to win UCL this year, or any year to be fair. However, PSG and Bayern both have that, they both want to win it all and so far this year they haven't looked that great.

Bayern has been close to competition in Bundesliga unlike any other year, and PSG too, they are teams that win almost all games in the league normally, but this season they haven't been like that. I still think that PSG has a better chance to win, but I know that both teams will play with all they have, same goes with Real and LFC game too, great teams that may win it all, facing each other.

[KTChampions]

A heavy blow for PSG as this guy is making the difference. To be honest, I don't remember what were the previous quotes for the teams to advance to the next round, but it seems to me that they were worse for Bayern than now: 1.72. It turns out that now Bavaria is a clear favorite in this pair.

Do you feel Bayern Munich are now clear favorites in this tie because Mbappe would prolly miss the first leg encounter? Mbappe is obviously a very important player for PSG, but they are a team with an array of stars that can definitely cover up for what they'll be lacking without Mbappe. Neymar is in tremendous form, and the best player in the world (Lionel Messi) is also in this same team, these kind of players live for big games such are this, and i am pretty sure they are going to turn up on that day and put up a show. Well, even if PSG loses the first leg, i would never think it is because Mbappe was absent, but because Bayerm Munich were the better of the two sides on the night.

Do you mean the "best PR brand" that walks most of the match and has a lot of experience of losing to Bayern (including with a score of 8-2)?   Still, I think that Mbappe would be more useful. Given that the first game will be in Paris and the second game in Munich, even the absence of Mbappe in one game will mean a lot. And if Bayern succeed in the first game, then it will be much more difficult to recoup on a foreign field.

Bad luck for Aubameyang, and it looks like Aubameyang may have also had this sort of unfavorable decision before at several clubs before. If that's the case, then it would be better for Aubameyang to go on loan to a team that is also playing in the Champions League and it would be even better for Aubameyang.

Because even though Aubameyang is 33 years old, in reality Aubameyang can still play well and can still score important goals for the team. So yes, this news is definitely bad news, and I personally deeply regret this decision.

I'm watching how the match's odds will react to this news.

I agree that it would be very difficult for PSG to win the game against Bayern Munich without Mbappe. Even though PSG can play Neymar and Messi together in the first leg, with Mbappe they can be expected to have great striker in their squad. But maybe we all underestimate Messi and Neymar too much because we think too much that at PSG only Mbappe is bigger than the other strikers. To be honest, I expected a brilliant performance from Messi partnering Neymar in the first leg, and if both players are fit then victory can still be expected.

Mbappe is a serious doubt for the first leg of the Champions League, but if his recovery goes smoothly or quicker than predicted, then he might be in the line-up. I'm really curious how Messi can do his job well without Neymar and Mbappe in tomorrow's match against Toulouse. Messi is expected to help PSG get 3 points, and I think it will really be a tough match for PSG at the weekend.

Otherwise Dortmund seem solid recently and it reflects in their results as well. They might be able to surprise Chelsea and make serious difficulties for them.

Of course, one wouldn't be sure because of Chelsea's discouraging performance in their domestic league. But I believe if all eyes are turned away from the past performance and be focused on the strength of the two sides, you will affirm that chelsea is quite stronger and are the favorable side anyone could bet on as long as their champion league clash with Dortmund is consent, especially now that 3 more hungry players have been added to Chelsea champion league squad.

Actually, in this condition, I don't know why I feel a little tired of discussing the condition of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi. This condition has always been discussed even for several seasons and it is happening again now.
I think this condition should be stopped immediately, but indeed, when the media always does things like this, even if they work, this is a little outrageous if it continues to be brought up, I think because regardless of anything, if even that doesn't turn out to be true, it could change when a third party says.
Mane is currently still recovering and it's quite natural that many still have doubts, especially with his current condition, which is actually getting bigger than doubt after a long injury now.

[slapper]

Borrusia Dortmund might have been better in terms of performance this season in all competitions but as of now, Chelsea have spent so much money building a better team and with the new incomings I think Chelsea will play a lot better when they go head to head with Dortmund. I will definitely bet on Chelsea to win.

Chelsea spend a good amount in last transfer window for having better results in Champions League and Premier League because in last five game they have only one win with too many problems around them but how they will perform this is big question and many fans and soccer pundits are looking for the results of this outcome which is surely not easy because how new players will adjust and perform this all is nothing easy and how Graham Potter will handle this all will be out on tomorrow game against Fulham which is also performing good in this season and now having spot above Chelsea even currently they are also on two defeats streak but things never been easy for the home team Chelsea.

Dortmund is also doing amazing performance in last few matches and their attack is also giving them good performance which is good signal for them as now with this performance they are going to be strong contender for the title into Bundesliga and this could be tough match for the both teams for place into last eight spots.

Being a supporter of a struggling club is difficult, but we must keep in mind that adversity is inevitable in sports. It's true that we've had some tough games recently, but we have to keep believing in our squad and cheering for them.

When it comes to the new players that were brought in during the transfer window, I agree with you completely. Adding new players to a squad is always a challenge, but I'm optimistic about their chances of success. Their effectiveness remains to be seen, but I have little doubt they will show their value. Graham Potter is a fantastic coach, so I have faith that he'll find out a solution.

We may expect a challenging match against Fulham. Fulham is doing well this season and is now in a better position than we are; but, we must not lose faith just yet. Anything may happen in football, so we just have to keep rooting for our team no matter what. In my opinion, Chelsea has what it takes to get back on track and make a serious run at the top four.

Dortmund is really a formidable squad now enjoying a fine stretch of form. It's encouraging to watch other teams succeed, but we can't lose sight of our own performance. We must remain believing in Chelsea and our ability to win despite the current situation.

Mane is currently still recovering and it's quite natural that many still have doubts, especially with his current condition, which is actually getting bigger than doubt after a long injury now.

There's no denying that Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are the most talked about players at PSG. They are great strikers and it's only natural that they get a lot of media attention and coverage. I don't see any problem with how the media talks about them too much, but I might disagree if even the smallest things they experience are made bigger by the media.

PSG vs Bayern Munich is the most anticipated match in the Champions League, but I believe Bayern Munich seems to have more support to qualify for the quarter-finals. But I'm thinking something different, and I think PSG have chance to qualify for the quarter-finals as well. I can think 50/50 of the chance, and these two teams should have the upper hand at their home ground.

[CLS63]

I see Frankfurt being in a really difficult situation against Napoli now. Because Napoli are still the same team we knew before the World Cup. They are still a difficult team to be stopped. They are still staying strong against even their biggest opponents in the Serie A. Actually after returning to the league they lost to Inter but it still didn't affect their morale in a bad way at all. They continued from where they left right after.

As for Frankfurt they are also a decent team in the Bundesliga and here both. But their game still doesn't seem to be good enough to stop a strong team like Napoli. These days Napoli are performing even better than Bayern Munich. Frankfurt have no choice other than improving their game more until then.

really? although there have been reports that the arrival of Joao Felix will put Aubameyang's position in jeopardy. But I haven't got any news about this. To be honest, I feel sorry for Aubameyang. He used to shine at Arsenal. but then he went to Barcelona. and it turned out that after that things didn't go smoothly for Aubameyang because then he had to go to Chelsea. and yes at Chelsea it turned out that Aubameyang was a little unlucky because when he just came to Chelsea and it turned out that Thomas Tuchel was fired at that time from Chelsea. And well then Aubameyang rarely got the chance to play after the arrival of Graham Potter who replaced Thomas Tuchel. Meanwhile, at that time, it was Thomas Tuchel who wanted Aubameyang, who wanted to come to Chelsea.

It looks like he's been sidelined again in terms of position but that's fair enough.
Auba's presence was previously based on coach Tuchel and now Tuchel is not sure the scheme will change and Auba is not really needed for Potter considering that there are several players that Potter has brought in on transfers this time.
Nkunku can also be a new color in their center striker and for some other young players like Mudryk and Enzo of course they are the priority at the moment especially at the price which of course they want real results.

In presence of Mbappé there was good advantage for the PSG but still things are not the worst just some poor because they have good attack and their players are still capable of giving them good results in this coming game against Bayern Munich but hopefully before this match we will have any good news regarding Mbappé and PSG.

Their performance after the break were not on same level, but things are also not good in Bayern Munich because they are also lacking of goals and their attack is also not effective which is trademark of the Bayern Munich this match is going to be interesting with both will try to have some edge in the first leg game which is going to play in Paris on 15th February.

Because even though Aubameyang is 33 years old, in reality Aubameyang can still play well and can still score important goals for the team. So yes, this news is definitely bad news, and I personally deeply regret this decision.

Aubameyang is having history of things like these because few years back same happened at Arsenal and Arteta dropped him from the squad due to discipline issues and now same happened at Chelsea mean things are not favourable for him in London where mostly he is dropped due to disciplined issues with coaches with after the sack of Thomas Tuchal Aubameyang having not good playing time at Chelsea which is also another cause and now in summer he is going to search for the new club which will be surely out of the England because here he has never been ideal player after having amazing time at Arsenal before drop due to some discipline issues.

Hopefully now he will be tried to have some good before retirement as now 33, and he left just 2 or 3 years as good footballer in his career which is not long time he needs to be improved for this time being.
