UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

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.

Chelsea has lots of work to do if they've to qualify against Dortmund, they've started accumulation of points which is two draws in the Premier League, saw some Chelsea fans already making fun of Chelsea's Enzo Fenandez, I think that's just too early and he'll gradually adapt to whatever comes.

And Graham Potter dropping Aubameyang off the squad for the Champions League squad for Chelsea was predicted, he is currently not at his best, it time he leaves for one of those famous turkey decisions to hide he's face.
How many goals contribution had he got ? And besides that the Coach has to use players he has full trust in and Aubameyang ain't one of em.

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.

I think Aubameyang was dropped because he hasn't lived up to the expectations that he was bought for. We bought him to be our main striker but when the team needed him most, he couldn't deliver. He isn't better than the players that were just registered in the champions league and neither does he has more threat to the opponents them this players. I think Aubameyang just has to focus on getting his values up now by performing in the premier league whenever he's given the chance then leave the club first thing during the summer.

Aubameyang wasn't registered but players on injuries were registered and so where other players that has been far worse than Aubameyang this season. I think he doesn't deserve this treatment that he's getting and then today's match in the premier league, Aubameyang wasn't also started or available for substitution. At this point, I'll think there's something going on between the player and the management that we aren't aware of.

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.

Even so, Frankfurt should not be underestimated. We know what magic they did last season in the Europa League and now for the domestic league competition they are starting to have real improvement.
I think with this condition they will provide resistance, although I still believe that the winner will be Napoli, but when they are off guard, Frankfurt will take the opportunity.

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.

Yes unfortunately Mbappé might be off for three weeks or more because of his injury, last match was so bad for him beside missing 2 penalties in less than 5 minutes he got injured and also lost the top 1 scorer of League 1 after Folarin Balogun is having 14 goals in his balance while Kylian Mbappé with 13 goals.
It’s a bad timing for PSG since they are playing against Bayern Munich in Champions League with a true attacker it’s a big loss for them and great news for the Bavarians

Yes unfortunately Mbappé might be off for three weeks or more because of his injury, last match was so bad for him beside missing 2 penalties in less than 5 minutes he got injured and also lost the top 1 scorer of League 1 after Folarin Balogun is having 14 goals in his balance while Kylian Mbappé with 13 goals.

Mbappe is a goal source for PSG and he is very important for their attacking system. I don't mean he can do everything without other players but PSG need to have him in order to maximize their attacking power. With support from Neymar and Messi, Mbappe becomes more dangerous than without those players and have to play with younger attacking players.

It’s a bad timing for PSG since they are playing against Bayern Munich in Champions League with a true attacker it’s a big loss for them and great news for the Bavarians

The missing of Mbappe by a latest injury is a bad news for PSG as they have to face with Bayern Munich. The opponent is a big club in Europe and Champions League with a more successful history than PSG. Additionally, they have more experience in Champions League and they can control matches and opponents by very smart and strict tactics. Meeting Bayern is already an unlucky schedule for PSG but doing this without Mbappe is a shocking news for them.

Does have any miracle to help Mbappe recover faster than 3 weeks that is considered as his recovery time initially?
With power of a young man, he can beat all initial diagnosis and recover sooner but let's see. If he can return sooner and can play against Bayern, PSG will feel so happy.

Neymar and messi must prove everyone wrong with the mbappe absence they might have a bigger motivation to try to win the first leg of the champions league against bayern at home , i expect an upset for bayern in the first leg despite psg will play without mbappe.

We will just see it and i have my gut pretty strong right now.

we all know that Dortmund prioritize selling players over winning titles, although they have come far in the champions league they are undoubtedly more interested in selling their best players so chelsea will be playing Dortmund without their good players, I don't even know to what extent dortmund already sold players this january but i'm guessing they sold their best players

Despite Dortmund selling their best players, their performances are still quite good. However, they are not consistently performing well. But Dortmund's players have the ability to beat a big team like Chelsea. Moreover, Chelsea is perhaps a renowned team. But this season their performance is not stable. The Chelsea team is now in the 10th place in the Premier League points table. And so it would be foolish to think that Chelsea can easily win against Dortmund. It will be challenging for Chelsea to win this match as well.

Well, it's obvious that this is a business model that Dortmund has, I don't blame them, it's their way of making money, everyone makes money in a legal and respectable way, but still I've seen that Dortmund has very good teams, they may have sold some players, but they maintain a very good strategy, they play very well and I think they can continue to do well, in the games that are pending it is with very strong teams, if they play well against hedges weuqipos can complicate their path, I really in Given the way Dortmund is, I would be careful of how everything is developing and I wouldn't trust me for anything.


I think that many here in Ligue 1 are surrounded by the most valid opinions about PSG, and of course it is normal, since everyone wants PSG to be the one to dominate everything eventually and yes, Lens, Marseille are very close and that The league may be much more exciting, really in my personal opinion I would like Marseille to spend at least some time first in the table, let's see what the attitude of PSG will be, I would like to see how the players and everyone will take it In general, because it is a fact that the hegamoney of PSG has been dominating a lot and for quite some time, it is time for them to finish.

Official | Lens wing-back Deiver Machado signs contract extension

Ligue 1’s second-placed RC Lens have announced the contract extension of Colombian wing-back Deiver Machado (29). The former Toulouse and Gent player has put pen to paper on a new deal, which is due to expire in 2026. The northern side have been busy this January transfer window in extending the deals of several mainstays such as strikers Florian Sotoca and Wesley Saïd, as well as defender Facundo Medina. Lens have also signed underrated and reliable Strasbourg midfielder Adrien Thomasson this month.

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.

Mbappe's contributions to the PSG team is outstanding and will definitely be missed for the time he will be sidelined to injury. I read on the internet that Mbappe will be unable to play for at least three weeks, I don’t think there is a suitable replacement for Mbappe in the squad. I wonder how well PSG will fare without Mbappe in the starting eleven.

Even so, Frankfurt should not be underestimated. We know what magic they did last season in the Europa League and now for the domestic league competition they are starting to have real improvement.
I think with this condition they will provide resistance, although I still believe that the winner will be Napoli, but when they are off guard, Frankfurt will take the opportunity.

Frankfurt was a good team. Frankfurt was winning europa league and then frankfurt goes to the UCL. That proves that Frankfurt was even better compared with Barcelona. Napoli may get a win streak in series a but it doesn't mean it can underestimate Frankfurt.
Frankfurt was a team that was full of surprises. Some times napoli can also be beaten by Frankfurt as well. Napoli has very big chance to win against Frankfurt but this gonna be a tough match between Frankfurt and napoli.
Frankfurt will not let napoli to go to the next round. Frankfurt has a mission to kicking back napoli to the series a.

His absence later during Leg 1 against Bayern Munich is very bad for PSG because the first leg is an opportunity for PSG to win against his opponent even though during the second leg match he will play but it will be even tougher because he will play at the Allianz Arena and what you said were right who will replace his position will be difficult to be at the level of Mbappe's game, which is one of the big roles at PSG.

Yes, compare to last season Eintracht Frankfurt has seem an increase in the Domestic League, but it will be difficult to stop Napoli's consistency with what they currently have. The statistics of the two teams in the Domestic League are very much different
Napoli are one of several teams expected to reach the semifinals of the Champions League based on the team's overall performance this season.

The Frankfurt team is not weak. A strong enough team and the Frankfurt players are very confident. But their performance is not regular. Despite having a strong squad, they are not consistently performing well. On the other hand, their opponent Napoli is a very strong team. And they are in great form right now. But beating the Frankfurt team will not be easy. The first leg is a home match in Frankfurt. And so it will be more difficult for Napoli to win this match. I guess the first match will be a 1-1 draw.

It's bad only for people who put their bet on PSG but I'm so glad bayern was not able to perform with PSG during the match against bayern. I hope that bayern can defeat PSG with very big scores during the first leg. Bayern has got a new ammunition that was also performing so well like cancelo. Bayern will able to do revenge against PSG. Bayern had beaten by PSG last season in UCL and I think this is the time for bayern to do the same to the PSG. Im really happy mbappe gets injury

PSG has attempts to playing Hugo Ekitiké as Mbappe replacement but his performance not good as Mbappe and apparently PSG and Bayern will playing without their key players and i think both of teams had equal situations now because PSG lost Mbappe who almost be certain will not playing for first leg
And Bayern also will playing without Mane who got injured since December last year and the contribution these players to their clubs were very important because Bayern without Mane they looks cannot performing well even Bayern still struggle to gets the winning results on Bundesliga it also happened in PSG that they were several times playing without Mbappe and PSG were failed to win even PSG lose from Rennes several weeks ago

[Silberman]

Neymar and messi must prove everyone wrong with the mbappe absence they might have a bigger motivation to try to win the first leg of the champions league against bayern at home , i expect an upset for bayern in the first leg despite psg will play without mbappe.

We will just see it and i have my gut pretty strong right now.

Mbappe is in my opinion the best player around the world at the moment so there is no way to replace someone with his talent, but even then PSG has enough talent and experience to make this work, also Mbappe will be out for only three weeks so there is a chance Mbappe will recover before the second leg of the round of 16 is played, so as long as Bayern Munich does not win convincingly during the first leg, the return of Mbappe during the second leg will make enough of a difference for PSG to move forward to the quarterfinals.

The biggest mistake a team makes is underestimating the quality of its opponents. The incident that happened to Roma in the Coppa Italia when they were defeated by Cremonese at the Olimpico can be used as a lesson by Napoli. Napoli must appear with the style of play they have shown so far against Frankfurt, Spalletti cannot be careless because this match is very important for Napoli.
Frankfurt can surprise, Spalletti must improve in defense and must not give the Frankfurt Players space to dominate the game which can narrow their chances of advancing to the next round.

I'm sure Napoli will not underestimate Frankfurt, they will stay alert ahead of this tournament. I think that in every Champions League match, they are always more motivated to win, but now we can see how Napoli's consistency is in the League and in the Champions League, when in the group phase they appeared to be quite dominant. then I assume I still Napoli can beat this game but behind all that we don't know how Frankfurt can surprise later, it's clear that in this tournament they will try to win it.
Spalletti is a great coach now who has brought Napoli quite far and just one defeat in Serie A will obviously have a positive impact on the Champions League and they will certainly prepare everything including the defense which must be strengthened.

[Despairo]

Mbappe is in my opinion the best player around the world at the moment so there is no way to replace someone with his talent, but even then PSG has enough talent and experience to make this work, also Mbappe will be out for only three weeks so there is a chance Mbappe will recover before the second leg of the round of 16 is played, so as long as Bayern Munich does not win convincingly during the first leg, the return of Mbappe during the second leg will make enough of a difference for PSG to move forward to the quarterfinals.

Even Mbappe will absent in the first leg, but the odds of this match is equal where both PSG and Bayern Munich odds is @2.50. So it means many people think PSG with Neymar and Messi already enough to beat Bayern Munich. But I think I will bet Bayern Munich to win the first leg, I speculate Bayern Munich will win with little goal difference for 1-0 or 2-1 only.

PSG didn't play with their best starting line up, so I don't think they can beat Bayern Munich. If PSG can win the first leg, well it's a high chance PSG will win again in the second leg.

It's understandable that Mbappe's absence is like a fresh air for Bayern Munich fans, and those who are betting on PSG to win this match can start considering betting in a different market because there is still enough time to do it, but actually Bayern Munich and fans should not have to be too happy first because this could be a loss if it turns out that PSG can implement a strategy that actually still manages to perform well without the presence of their core striker.

With Bayern Munich's current poor performance since the end of the World Cup, where they have won just one match and drawn nearly four, I don't think they can beat PSG even without Mbappe; PSG has players like Messi and Neymar in their squad, which means they can still have a great performance even without Mbappe on the field, whereas Bayern Munich is still battling with injuries that have rendered their team ineffective for the majority of the time.
Anything can happen in the game, but I don't think PSG will lose solely because Mbappe isn't there.
