UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[terrorJR]

Agree with what you say, because this seems to be normal without these two players.
Not meaning to belittle it, but indeed with their current condition when they lose 2 key players in the attack, it's clear they will just be like an ordinary team without anything different.
Neymar's presence is still possible but I don't think it will be enough when you see the current conditions.

When their key players are able to play and can't play due to injury and or other problems, I think the match will still be fair because it is certainly a risk. So, nothing is unfair when their key players cannot play due to injury, because coaches should have been aware of and or had anticipated incidents like this by rotating more frequently beforehand.

So yes, by not being able to play several key players for PSG, PSG must be able to accept this situation and the coach must be able to make a strategy that can support good gameplay in the match against Bayern Munich and this match will still be interesting.

When talking about fair, it's clear that this match will be fair, but if you look at the current conditions, it's clear that Bayern are increasingly the favorite because indeed, in the absence of the mainstay players from PSG, they are definitely limping and this is clearly profitable for Bayern, even though they still haven't been able to contribute much in bundesliga but when you look at the achievement in the Champions League by never failing at least in the last 16 phase then it is indeed profitable.

It will only be difficult if the two teams were performing well in their domestic league, but as it stands now Tottenham is a better side than Milan. Milan in their last 4 matches performed poorly and they are currently not in a better position in their league standing compared to Tottenham. It is not bad to say that Tottenham is fitter and is currently a better side than Milan in this champion league round 16 Clashes

If you look at the position in their respective domestic league standings, Tottenham themselves are also not in a better position than Milan at the moment. Even though Milan's current position is still not safe if the two rivals below can win this weekend's match. But for the Champions League, it's a little difficult for me to make comparisons on these two teams because they have a very different way of playing and the performances they have shown this season.

Also, because the competitive level in the places where these two teams compete is very different, it will not be easy to measure their strength, yes, although in the end we will see their performance in their respective leagues. In standings, AC Milan is better, but when it comes to match results, Tottenham is better. When it comes to the Champions League, I wouldn't be surprised if the two teams fare differently from the domestic league, better or worse.

[tulusikhlas]

In less than a week we will see the Champions League games resume. All the teams must have prepared for them to compete in the round of 16, even though a lot of them actually declined when their performance should have improved when they competed for a place in the round of 8 later. Some of them even I see can not be expected, although there is still a possibility they will be different when they are in the Champions League.

[Pokapoka124]

Dortmund vs Chelsea is a good match. Chelsea have been performing badly I know but Dortmund has not been at their best this season. They are 3rd in the Bundesliga but they are not playing the football that they are capable of. It could be a interesting match up because Chelsea are looking for some success and when I have seen them play they have looked dangerous. I think they have been unlucky for most of their losses this season.

Chelsea now have the likes of Reece James and Chilwel back from injuries. Felix is also back from suspension so he should be available for this game. Let see how Chelsea perform against West Ham tomorrow to determine how ready they're for the champion league game, I understand this are two different tournaments but it could give us some idea on what we should be expecting from Chelsea in the game against Dortmund. I think Chelsea are the side under more pressure due to their January spending and they're out of all other cup competition meaning if they should depart from this as well, then the media will come for them and such negative attention could affect the rest of their season.

It's that time of the season when Graham Potter has to show the world that he's the right man for the Chelsea coaching job because if he gets his selection wrong this time around and plays someone like Havertz upfront when we have the new signings that are yet to be utilized like Fofana then he has to be joking as he doesn't understand his job. Even me that I'm not a manager understand that Havertz plays better as a second striker and not the main target.

It is good news for Chelsea and a huge boost having their key players returning from injury and now seeing them train with the first team squad. The lineups are out for today's game and Joao Felix is back in the line up for Chelsea, Loftus Cheek also back with Reece James available so hopefully Chelsea have an opportunity to redeem themselves and prove a point today in their epl fixture and in the Champions league when they face Dortmund.

[Woodie]

the teams that are on a downturn and haven't shown any improvement in their recent form are Chelsea, Liverpool and Milan.

It's really worrying to see top tier teams like these failing to find form for the longest time, and with the champions league just around the corner am expecting the competition to remove the best from them or it will be a guaranteed exit for them.

Chelsea and Liverpool did have a bad season in the premier league from the start. but Milan initially had a fairly good performance in Serie A. They were even ranked 2nd for quite a long time replacing Atalanta. But lately Milan continues to play badly. since the world cup break Milan did not seem to get their maximum performance back.

These guys will be put to the test in a couple of days and their past won't write their future.

But in the Champions League I'm sure these three teams will surprise us. at least all the teams must have fought hard for the Champions League match.

Usually when teams that aren't in good form come into the champions league, what turns to happen is these games turn out to be more defensive unless the go out guns blazing... I see low scoring games.

But for the Champions League, it's a little difficult for me to make comparisons on these two teams because they have a very different way of playing and the performances they have shown this season.

Champions League matches will now be more competitive than ever. Because the team that wins now will be able to increase their chances of going to the next round. So every team now has to play strategically.

So far, totenham has been performing so well compared with ac milan. You must also see how totenham was able beating manchester city. Manchester city has been known as one of the strongest team in EPL unlike ac milan which has been losing against its rival intermilan. Ac was also losing several times in a row. Totenham has a better record for sure. I will prefer to pick totenham. Totenham's odd is good enough for me.
I will not even take ac milan caused by ac milan is a weak team right now. It was winning against torino which is a weak team in serie a. It was nothing compared with totenham which was winning against manchester city, totenham is also having good head to head against ac milan.

Speaking of chelsea, I still can't tag Borussia Dortmund well enough to be a hindrance to Chelsea in the champion league round of 16. Chelsea is not doing well in the domestic league but will perform extremely well in the champion league.
I'm glad that even with their condition they still made it to that phase of the champion league and I know they will go further than that.

What is certain is that this match is very important for both teams, especially for Stefano Pioli who does not want his team to lose at home. moreover, Milan has a bitter history when his team against Spurs. plus, several Milan players are still suffering from injuries and are likely to be absent when Milan have a home game against Spurs later. fortunately, Milan managed to win the match against Torino and broke their bad record after suffering a series of defeats in their domestic league. with this result, it could be the start for Milan to start back on track with victory.

Meanwhile, Tottenham has a better chance than the home team. We can refer to this based on the statistics in the last matches of each team, as well as the role of Antonio Conte. the tactician who is now the architect of the Spurs, could be a scourge for the Rossoneri. because, as we know, Conte has a good record when his team under him against AC Milan.
Even so, at least there is still time for these two teams to prepare their troops for the round of 16 match later.

After Kylian Mbappe who had to be absent due to injury in the match against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UCL playoffs, now it's Lionel Messi's turn to be doubtful for that match due to a hamstring injury against Marseille in the Coupe de France yesterday. It seems that this is bad news for all PSG supporters and of course the PSG squad will not appear at full strength against Bayern Munich in the first leg later. Galtier must be very dizzy watching his players get injured one by one and there seems to be no doubt that Bayern Munich's victory in the first leg is in sight.

If Lionel Messi is not available for the game against Bayern Munich it will be a big blow to the team already having Kylian Mbappe sidelined to injury for this fixture. I'm wondering how PSG will cope with these players absented. If both players miss out then the probability of Bayern Munich winning will be high against PSG.

Klopp's mistake is why Liverpool's performance is poor now. Before a player can be sold, his replacement must be taken into the team. Klopp sold an essential player like Sadio Mane without leaving a replacement. This is a sign of ignorance. We don't expect such stupid decisions from an experienced coach like Klopp. Also, Liverpool's performance did not improve even though Nunez was brought in as Mane's replacement. There are plenty of star players in the Liverpool squad. But only Mohamed Salah is an experienced striker or finisher. Klopp could now bring in an experienced midfielder to replace Sadio Mane.

In this case I don't think the problem now is finding replacement because Liverpool have made signings after Mane's departure, They have signed Luis Diaz, Gakpo and even Darwin Nunez and yet the problem still persists so right now I can't say or figure out what the problem could be now, the expression on Klopp's face tells how much frustration there is with the current decline of the team.

I'm glad that even with their condition they still made it to that phase of the champion league and I know they will go further than that.

In fact, Chelsea had a very bad start in this year's Champions League and at the end of the first two rounds they were last in the group.
A special surprise was the defeat in Zagreb against Dinamo, after which they changed their coach and after that Chelsea won all the remaining games until the end of the group stage and won first place in the group.
It seemed that the new coach raised the level of Chelsea's game, but they fell into a crisis again, and are currently playing very poorly in the domestic league.
Regardless, they should not be underestimated, and neither should Liverpool. The Champions League is a special competition in which the players always give their best so that in their matches everything is completely open and possible.

It's getting draw again in the domestic league. Chelsea is not in a very difficult situation. I think that chelsea may lose against dortmund. The problem is these days chelsea didn't have chemistry on its players. There are so many problems that happened with the club. We didn't know how good the performance from chelsea was in champion league. Chelsea never wins in the domestic league with the new team. The new team was always playing so bad.
I think that's gonna affecting the performance the chelsea. I doubt if chelsea will able to win against dortmund. Dortmund in a better situation compared with chelsea right now.
Todd may try to sack potter as a manager from the club.

In less than a week we will see the Champions League games resume.

Some of them even I see can not be expected, although there is still a possibility they will be different when they are in the Champions League.

The Champions league will be interesting to see the performance teams. Many big teams in their respective league are performing very poorly which I think they will still bring such performance to the Champions league . Real Madrid,  Manchester City and Bayern Munich are not the same in performance like before.

I would guess that there isn't much expected from them anyway, they will lose either this round or next but they will be pretty much gone. I believe that it is quite important to focus on teams like PSG, or Real or City, these three definitely have a very big chance to win. Real not so much because they are great this season, not even leading the league, but they are a UCL team and they could always end up winning when nobody expecting.

Mbappe and Messi is missing on first Bayern game, so PSG could have a bit of a trouble as well. But aside from that City also has some sort of financial trouble clouding over them so that could be a bit morale breaking thing as well.

[D-law]

If Potter fails to win against Dortmund which one knows that he can't he will be sacked the time duration given to turn games is past gone.
Checking PSG recent game and Bayern Munich too it shows that Bayern Munich are the side to bet on even if the odds are deceiving
PSG lacks both Messi and Mbappe so they will have no one to fear as PSG attacks

PSG's performance against Monaco is truly ridiculous. PSG will never do well against a Bayern Munich side with this kind of performance. PSG team coach should find new tactics.

How can you be sure Potter will be sacked just because if this moment Chelsea fail in the Champions League, because if to sack Potter I think there is no need to wait for the results in the Champions League because Potter has so far failed in the Premier League as well. Therefore, win or lose when Chelsea play against Dortmund, I think Potter will still be at Chelsea.

After all, firing Tuchel and replacing him with Potter is also the choice of the club owner, so Todd Boehly must be able to accept the results. Also, Todd Boehly also needs to be more patient in building the team he wants.

I don't think Potter will be sacked even if Chelsea does poorly in the Champions League. Chelsea has a lot of problems within the team. And enough time is needed to stabilize the team. At the same time, I would say Chelsea needs a number of talented players in their squad. Their attack is still not strong enough. And so Potter needs to be given enough funding to strengthen the team before he can be fired. So it is likely that we will see Potter next season with Chelsea.

This season's Champions League seems a little different, there are several big teams who have serious problems with their performance. Liverpool is one of the big teams who have problems like that

This is a big question, which team will play in the CL Finals this season
Considering that several candidate teams were previously expected to play optimally, the reality was not what was expected

[BlackBoss_]

it's hard to compare Tottenham and AC Milan based on just their league standings. Sure, Milan may be in a better position domestically at the moment, but that can change quickly with a few results going against them. And while Tottenham may not be doing as well in their league, they still have the ability to perform well in the Champions League. It's all about the players coming together and executing the game plan on the day. That's what makes the Champions League so exciting, anything can happen.

In Serie A, AC Milan did not have a safe position and with their recent bad form, they can fall to beyond top six of Serie A too. I consider Tottenham and AC Milan have similar positions in their domestic leagues.

Recent form of Tottenham is better than AC Milan. Tottenham players have more experienced and star players who played in Euro, World Cup and even Champions League recent years. They are a better team in how many star players they have and experience of their star players.

I don't think the past tradition of AC Milan in Champions League will be enough to help them beating Tottenham. Sorry believe AC Milan must wait for a next season to move farther than the Round of 16. But first they must end this season in top four of Serie A, will they can get it?
