UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Iroh]

around 7 more days round of 16 in the Champions League will begin. And I think almost any game will be very difficult to predict. but of all that I think the match that is the most difficult to predict and will likely be the fiercest will be the match between PSG vs Bayern. although in the last 5 meetings we can see Bayern winning more matches, namely Bayern managed to get 4 wins from the last 5 meetings. while PSG only won 1 time in the last 5 meetings. even though Bayern have won more wins, that doesn't mean Bayern will be superior in this match. because the two teams have almost the same strength. but because PSG is the host, PSG's chances of winning are bigger.

The round of 16 in the Champions league tournament begins on the 14 with AC Milan playing Tottenham. I think the first match of the champions league is always exciting and a bit tense.
I think AC Milan is playing okay and their form isn’t too bad. They would in my opinion, most likely to win the game cause I don’t see Tottenham winning against Milan.

PSG vs Bayern Munich would also be a must watched as I’m pretty sure this match is anticipated by football fans worldwide. It is pretty difficult to predict the outcome off the game as both teams are playing very well and booth are in amazing form as well. But if I would have to pick a side, I would say PSG has a more realistic chance of winning the game against Bayern. Can’t wait to see Messi play in the Champions League

I think AC Milan is playing okay and their form isn’t too bad. They would in my opinion, most likely to win the game cause I don’t see Tottenham winning against Milan.

AC Milan have very bad form in Serie A and how did you think they are not too bad and still okay?

Forms of AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are very oppositely, one is on fire and one is in mud. Harry Kane is a best scorer of Tottenham in this season and even Son has yet reclaimed his best performance, in recent weeks he has tried a lot and contributed more for Spurs in general. He created more opportunities and with his speed, AC Milan must feel very fearful about him. I believe Son and Kane combination will bring so much challenge to AC Milan.

PSG vs Bayern Munich would also be a must watched as I’m pretty sure this match is anticipated by football fans worldwide. It is pretty difficult to predict the outcome off the game as both teams are playing very well and booth are in amazing form as well. But if I would have to pick a side, I would say PSG has a more realistic chance of winning the game against Bayern. Can’t wait to see Messi play in the Champions League

It is a biggest clash in this round of 16 and between one of most successful clubs in Champions League and one of biggest and most ambitious clubs in the last few years. Their matches will be spotlights of this round and Messi is one of biggest super stars will appear in these matches. There is rumor that Mbappe will play but not missing because of his injury and a vague report as well as announcement of PSG to media.

Milan's condition is quite difficult with their current weak defense.
Tottenham is clearly one of the favorites in their current condition and I think they are the ones who will qualify for the next phase in this round.
Milan will host the first leg, but with their current condition, even though they are playing at home, I am personally quite skeptical of them, especially if they still can't improve their performance in midfield and defense.

Milan does look unconvincing at this time. even in the last 7 matches Milan has actually suffered more defeats which is quite surprising even from teams that are considered weak. Stefano Pioli as Milan coach is currently receiving a lot of criticism. But I personally see that there are other problems in the Milan camp that we don't know about. because after all Milan had improved their performance. even long enough to be ranked 2 in Serie A. but lately Milan has been disappointing in every game. I think the midfield and front line also need a lot of improvement at the moment.

Milan has poort performance in local league. I would not be surprised if pioli will be sacked by the club once milan will not able go pass for the next round. There are many problems that have not yet discovered nor solved in milan.

Ac milan has been making failed recruitment during january. These failed recruitments are Sergino Dest and Aster Vrancx. Both already blamed have become the main reason why milan has been performing so bad.

Stefani pioli has been picking the wrong players. The injury that happens with alessandro florenzi has been giving a very big impact to the performance of milan.

Pioli must be thinking so hard about how to find the solutions or milan may go to the same position as juventus right now.

The first leg will certainly benefit Milan. They played at the San Siro should Milan be able to win. Tottenham will reportedly be without Hugo Lloris, but Milan are also without Maignan who cannot return after an injury. But indeed, if you look at the game in the Milan League, it seems to look more unstable than Tottenham. It seems that this match can be an evaluation tool for Pioli. Because Milan lost a streak in several League matches.

Nunez and Gakpo are young talented players. They have been recruited into the team after long planning. Now these two players are not playing well. They are also missing out on easy opportunities. As they gradually become more experienced, their performance may stabilize. But Liverpool's match strategy also has problems with Jurgen Klopp not doing his job properly.

They are young players and can sharpen their skills more but with their expensive transfers especially Nunez, pressure on their shoulders is huge. They must over come this as soon as possible and at least they must improve to have acceptable performance for Liverpool. It is helpful for the club and for themselves to get rid of noise and pressure from media which can impact their career in Liverpool.
I don't expect Nunez and Gakpo succeed in this season because it is not common to see new players can have success in their first seasons in Premier League. A next season will be better to assess their performance for Liverpool.

Nunez is being considered as Sadio Mane's replacement. But the gameplay of these two players is completely different. So if Klopp doesn't come up with a different match strategy then I don't expect a better performance from Nunez and Liverpool. Liverpool will definitely need to change their match tactics if they want to get better performances from players like Nunez and Gakpo. Also I agree with you. It is difficult to perform well in the first season of the Premier League. It is hoped that they will adapt themselves well to the Liverpool squad by next season. These two players are very talented. They will not disappoint the Liverpool management.

AC Milan have very bad form in Serie A and how did you think they are not too bad and still okay?

You're right, Milan are not doing well right now and they should admit that too.

Their form is too bad in Serie A and I didn't expect them to do so well in the Champions League. Tottenham on the other hand are in good form and are quite ready to go through the Champions League round of 16 challenge. I think Tottenham Hotspur are the favorites to qualify for the quarter-finals, but Milan have a chance too, if only slightly.

Forms of AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are very oppositely, one is on fire and one is in mud. Harry Kane is a best scorer of Tottenham in this season and even Son has yet reclaimed his best performance, in recent weeks he has tried a lot and contributed more for Spurs in general. He created more opportunities and with his speed, AC Milan must feel very fearful about him. I believe Son and Kane combination will bring so much challenge to AC Milan.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been inconsistent this season even though Kane and several other players have done their best. They are full of confidence after earlier beating Manchester City, but Milan may be able to capitalize on some mistakes from Tottenham defenders to find a goal.

I hope Milan vs Tottenham Hotspur is an interesting match too, instead of just PSSG vs Munich, Liverpool vs Real Madrid, and several other big matches.

They will not disappoint the Liverpool management.

Whatever Liverpool is seeing is well deserved, they were paying Mane around $100k per week, the agents asked for an extension of his contract to around $400k per week but were adamant to pay the same wages, and clearly, Mane is playing for himself and his people, we can all deny how he is helping people back home, and as soon as they got a better deal of $350k at Bayern, he left for greener pastures. They should have at least made him equivalent to Salah's worth because Mane is responsible for the majority of his goal assists.

Putting pay asides, Nunes and Gakpo are good players but the fans shouldn't expect a miracle from a few games, it will take time, I also look forward to what Gakpo will do when he starts his first minutes in the Champions League, if he manages to win against Real Madrid, then they would have some hope and future for Liverpool.

I don't have much information regarding Serie A clubs. However, if you refer to Milan's current statistics. their condition is very apprehensive, 7 matches without a win in all competitions. so, it's only natural that Milan is very doubtful when hosting Spurs in the last 16 round later. even so, on several occasions Pioli had said that he would prepare his troops and work hard to appear all out when hosting Spurs at the San Siro later.

Meanwhile, with Milan's current condition, it is an advantage for Conte's squad to get full points in the first leg. Conte will take advantage of the momentum, to win the match easily even though they are playing at the San Siro cage Milan. there are many advantages for Spurs, apart from that Conte is very familiar with Milan's games. even so, it looks like this fight will take place tough. because after all, Milan will not let Tottenham win easily.

I don't believe Nunez can be seen as Mane's replacement. Because one of them is a striker while the other one is a winger naturally. Yes maybe Mane can play as a striker if needed as well but he doesn't make the same level of contribution to his team then. He is more beneficial when he plays as a connector between the midfield and attacking line. Thanks to his playing style Liverpool were able to break the deadlocks of many matches for example. Now his absence is felt very much.

I can see Diaz as the closest player to Mane's style now but even he isn't like him. But he has made a big contribution to the team since his arrival as well. Nunez couldn't do much so far. However Diaz is still injured and his absence is affecting the attacking line very negatively.

Because Milan lost a streak in several League matches.

Even though the ball will first be played at San Siro stadium, It wouldn't have in any way been a problem for Tottenham because as it stands now, Tottenham is in better form than Ac Milan, I don't know if that will change before February 14. The only problem is that Playing without Hugo Loris will be a bit challenging for Tottenham though it will be a good time for Paulo Gazzaniga to give his best, I still see it as a weak point for Tottenham Hotspur

The internal problems at Manchester City just keeps unveiling themselves this season and they are slowly affecting the performance of the team so far. Manchester city have been failing to maintain consistency in the league this season and if the allegations turn out to be true then Manchester City will have to face a big blow this season, one which could be points deduction or expulsion from the Premier League.

Manchester city have been failing to maintain consistency in the league this season and if the allegations turn out to be true then Manchester City will have to face a big blow this season, one which could be points deduction or expulsion from the Premier League.

Maybe that's the way to prevent Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League from happening every season. I'm not sure what the worst consequences will be for Manchester City if this allegation can be proven, but whatever it is Manchester City has the right to obey the rules and any decisions that will be made.

Therefore, Arsenal or other teams must be able to take advantage of Manchester City's chaos to look good until the end of the season. There is not very good chance of winning the title if Manchester City is doing well, and this season Manchester City is not doing well. But for whatever reason, I think city still has a chance to get more points and displace Arsenal if Arsenal fail to maintain their form. I'm not worried about Manchester City, but a little worried about Arsenal.

After previously Juventus in Serie A also received sanctions in the form of deducting points, now the same thing has happened to Manchester City. Even though there is no definite decision on this matter, the threats of sanctions they will receive are not playing games, from deducting points, the threat of relegation to the threat of revoking the title they have won. This will be disturbing, of course, especially for management. The thing that is feared is that this will disturb their players so that they decline and cannot play to their full potential.

By the way, now, despite the fact that the bookmakers give equal chances to both Real and Liverpool, I'm sure they evaluate Real as a clear favorite. I noticed that bookmakers very rarely change their quotes much even if the team falls into a period of bad luck or loses its best scorer, etc. In a pair of Real Madrid - Liverpool, initially Liverpool was a big favorite, but now the quotes are equal.

Liverpool have very poor performance in Premier League that is worse than what I can think of. They not only have draw, lose points but also have terrible loses. They still have good players but maybe this season is not a good one for all of them and in general Liverpool can not have good combinations of those players. Therefore, they are more sensitive to lose points to any opponent, not only to big and strong opponents.

This suggests that the bookmakers realized that they were wrong, but they cannot "turn around" their opinion, but the changes that have taken place are the maximum for their business.

In football and in matches between big clubs, we can not say anything definitely will happen and bookmakers are so scam with bet data they have so that they can easily flip all to take money from most of gamblers.

Yes, the argument in favor of Liverpool that there are a lot of top teams in the Premier League, so Liverpool can have more defeats than Real Madrid (which, for example, has only one serious opponent in La Liga this year) does not work because Liverpool loses big even to average commands.
As for bookmakers, sometimes they fall into a trap (as it is now in my opinion) they cannot turn the chances of the teams in the Real-Liverpool pair even more sharply, since many bettors will have the opportunity to already fix their profits (if they made preliminary bets in advance).

The gap that Jurgen Kloop has to think about is the front line where he must be able to revive Mohamed Salah performance and also be able to polish the qualities that Nunez and Gakpo have. Liverpool lose great concentration if the opposing team is able to score goals early. It seems that the players continue to be overshadowed by guilt over the decline in their performance so far. Jurgen kloop has a pretty tough job this season to bring Liverpool in a better direction in the premier league.

apart from that, Jurgen Kloop also had to think early about the match they would have in the Champions League in the round of 16 because the opponent they were facing was the defending champion team or the king of the Champions League.

Manchester City started the season well. And they were very strong. Manchester City became even stronger after Haaland was brought into the team. And consistently Manchester City's attacking players were able to play well. But now Manchester City's performance has slowed down a bit. They performed well but dropped points in several matches. At the same time, several weaknesses within the party have become quite visible. And that's why they're a bit behind. Manchester City's points gap with Arsenal continues to widen. At the moment, Manchester City is 5 points behind despite playing one match more than Arsenal.

Several players brought in by Liverpool have not yet shown their best game. This season they look very messy, and if you look at the game they are very disorganized. I don't understand what's going on, because if you look at the squad they actually have good players, and also Jurgen Klopp is a coach who usually has a good strategy, but I haven't seen that from them this season.

[darxiaomi]

I really dont know what to expect in this round, a lot of teams came here with a really low performance.

And a few others facing problems.

- Liverpool bad
- Milan bad
- Totenham it was bad and now seems like correct but not so much.
- Chelsea.... sinking
- P$G good.... but with some problems and Mbappe injured.
- Bayern Munich in one of his worst performance in the recent years.
- Real Madrid in a little pothole.

So much interrogants

I can see Diaz as the closest player to Mane's style now but even he isn't like him. But he has made a big contribution to the team since his arrival as well. Nunez couldn't do much so far. However Diaz is still injured and his absence is affecting the attacking line very negatively.

Darwin Nunez is a great player, his pace and ability to score good goals is brilliant but still cannot be compared to Sadio Mane. Sadio Mane was like the pillar in Liverpool's attack, on so many occasions Mane came through for the team in tight games where Liverpool struggled to get a win but Mane was always there to the rescue so I totally agree that Mane is a much more better player than Nunez and even Diaz.

[FanEagle]

I understand that Pep may want to leave, or even some players may want to leave because of this, we still need to wait and see if it is true. I mean we all "believe" it is true considering how much they spent, but by that regard Chelsea must be punished for sure, they spent 500+ million, never seen City spend that much.

Juventus just got punished for a similar thing, and City could be as well. I believe it is quite important to realize that we should wait and see first, and if there is no punishment, then there shouldn't be any reason why he leaves. He still failed to win UCL with them, if he manages to get that, maybe that would be easier decision to leave.
