UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

Just a little while and then we will start again with the CL. Everyone is looking forward to the PSG - Bayern Munich match, of course. What I can see based on the line-up is that Mbappe unfortunately cannot participate. There was some hope that he would still be available because he would train me with the group. It is possible that he is not yet 100% match fit and that he might come in in the 2nd half. Will also have a lot to do with the score and any risks that PSG wants to take. The bookmakers believe in an even game tonight, it could well be a game with many goals.

Exciting news for Paris Saint-Germain fans as both Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi have reportedly returned to training today ahead of the highly anticipated match against Bayern Munich. While coach Christophe Galtier may choose to keep the lineup under wraps until he has evaluated their performance, there is no denying the crucial role that these two players have in the team's success. I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to a competitive match filled with thrilling gameplay and beautiful goals from both teams, showcasing their full potential

I wonder if this was originally a "hoax" or did they really recover ahead of time? If this is a trick, then it is very stupid, since Bavaria is unlikely to be impressed. Since I support Bayern, I will be glad to see Messi on the field and Mbappe on the bench 
It's funny that if the first pair can be called a battle of leaders, then the second is a battle of losers. But I think Milan should win at home.

No one really knows, however it is not rare for athletes to have a recovery time which is many times faster than the average person, not only because they are used to injuries and they can play with the pain, but they also have the best doctors available which help them to recover at an amazing speed, but just as you mention this could be a trick, however if it is I doubt it could have too much of an effect on the players of Bayern.

From the temporary line-up of these two teams, I am more confident that Paris Saint Germain will come out as the winner in Leg 1 at the Parc des Princes Stadium.
But I will choose Bayern Munich to qualify for the next round.

Paris Saint-Germain 20:00 Bayern Munich

Although Mbappe is not in the starting XI, he remains in the squad. And it was probably Galtier's trick that Mbappe would miss the match due to injury. Finally, Mbappe is fit enough now. And we will see Mbappe on the field if needed in this match. With a player like Mbappe in the squad, other players in the team are more confident and the overall performance of the team is stronger. Mbappe is also very quick on the counterattack. This will help the PSG team to defeat the ladder team like Bayern Munich. However, with the match soon to take place, I am looking forward to enjoying it.

It has been confirmed that Kylan Mbappe will start the match from the bench if Christope Galtier plays. Galtier prefers to play Carlos Soler as a playmaker against Bayern Munich as seen in PSG's current formation.

Interestingly, Galtier took a bold stance by playing 16-year-old Zaire-Emirey in midfield instead of deploying Fabian Ruiz or Vitinha.
Of course, this strategy makes us curious.
There is one thing that Galtier must be aware of if he wants to win Leg 1 besides the Munich front line which is also assisted by Cancelo, which is not to underestimate them even though they play in front of the public themselves.

We'll see. Hopefully my analysis of PSG will win Leg 1 is correct.

Games of the week

Tuesday 14th February

AC Milan 20:00 Tottenham Hotspur
Paris Saint-Germain 20:00 Bayern Munich

Wednesday 15th February
Borussia Dortmund 20:00 Chelsea
Club Brugge 20:00 Benfica

In red my winning predictions.

Tottenham ? This is never going to happen, Tottenham couldn't match up with Leicester City and you expect them to face up Ac Milan? Good they are not playing so good but you don't expect the londoners to win this game.
Paris Saint Germany are playing tactically, I still expect Mbappe to play, they already lost a final to Bayern Munich in thr last five years, this might be another. I cannot give a conclusion for the Benfica game, but Chelsea has no good coach to beat Dortmund tactically. They will loose to Dortmund

Tottenham having not good performance in their last game against Leicester City, but this is completely different competition and now things are at different level which is not having any link with their last lost against Leicester City because here we are having AC Milan from Italy which is also having bad time in last few matches and their injury list is also not favouring them but still we can expect good match from both sides and if AC Milan wants to win here at home then surely they have to do hard work and better coordination between players because any mistake can bring them down and out of this competition with Tottenham has never been easy team to beat in any competition.

[doomloop]

I remember that when PSG was losing against bayern in UCL final 2019/2020 but PSG was making its revenge to the bayern by winning away goal in UCL 2020/2021. These are also another golden moment for both of teams. Bayern has mission to make revenge against PSG.
Sending PSG back to the french league is the main aim by bayern. Im still prefer to take bayern rather than PSG. Mssi and mbappe will be playing but i won't expect full time of playing.
PSG will be facing one of strongest team in UCL that has a very good history in UCL too. It's unlike PSG that never won UCL trophy ever.

Both teams having good rivalry in last few years with both are having same competition in their domestic leagues which Bayern Munich is dominating in Germany and PSG is also having dominance in France which mean things are not easy for both teams to have win in this match even I am personally feeling PSG at home having some advantage and can do better for qualifying into round of eight because if they are able to beat Bayern Munich in this leg then surely this could be plus point for them, and they will have good chance for going into second leg with advantage even both are having good quality players and both are also having good performance in last few matches as well but still it's never been easy game for place into next round.

I don't think PSG will win today, with or without Mbappe, because of their recent inconsistency.

Going deep into the statistics of the last five matches they played against each other, Bayern Munich has won four while PSG has only won one; this clearly shows how consistent Bayern Munich is when playing PSG, but let's keep watching the match, but I have hope on Bayern because of their recent league form.

But it is true that losing Mbappe is even more difficult for them.
This condition is really a bit inconvenient for PSG, especially when I see now that they are being pressured by Bayern in these early minutes. Choupo Moting's chances were even very good at the start of the match.
On the other hand, now we see the surprise in the Milan match because they were able to score a goal at the start of the game and actually I feel unexpected about this.

[arallmuus]

The quality of Tottenham's game is better than Ac milan and this is evident in the several matches they have played in the domestic league.

Well actually both are in pretty similar state with AC Milan scored 38 goals in domestic league while Tottenham on 42 goals so that kinda tells you that both are currently not in their top form and I doubt that any team will be able to win tonight. Kinda betting into the draw option on this game but as of now AC Milan is leading with 1 goal

AC Milan is leading the match with am early goal scored on the 9th minutes by Diaz with a forward header. Foster tried his best for saving a double header ball but couldn't save the last one from Diaz. The early goal has put AC Milan into total control of the match and gaining more possession.

Tottenham can still equalise the game and I don't think that this match will end in with this score. I believe more goals will still come in from both clubs,will AC Milan be able to win this match with an advantage of one goal ahead or will Tottenham come fr behind to win the game ? Let's relax and watch the outcome if this match till 90 minutes is over

The home advantage has obviously had a bit of an effect, but it seems that this is not yet apparent.
20 minutes of running time is actually a little even but looking at Bayern's condition they are a little better in terms of opportunities.
I still feel it's a game for Bayern even playing away although it's possible the score will be thin in this game.
But it looks like this is going to be a similar match if you look at the condition of the two teams in terms of attack and high tension.

[Bananington]

On the other hand, now we see the surprise in the Milan match because they were able to score a goal at the start of the game and actually I feel unexpected about this.

Tottenham were seen as the most likely team to control and win this game because of how bad AC Milan has been this year, but somehow AC Milan has been the first team to score. The Tottenham Goalkeeper Foster, tried his best to keep the ball out of the goal with two good saves but AC Milan forced that in to take the lead. Tottenham is a very unpredictable team and can still equalize and go ahead to win this, but it will be much difficult now for them. AC Milan defense has not been very good this season, so they still have a lot of work to do to ensure they can stop Tottenham when they attack.

[Wiwo]

Tottenham are currently enduring a poor run of form in the league, losing three of their last five games, but will be optimistic heading into this game.

I will say Tottenham team are not in their best performance too and they are not playing good, anything can happen in football, out of the last five matches too, Tottenham was able to win Manchester City with 1 goal. But one thing we have noticed about Champions League is that home team have more advantage, but AC Milan is not playing good like last season.

There is no trace of Milan from last year. They draw a path as bad as possible in the league, they give the impression that they will continue to go down, nothing is getting better. That's why Totthenem is a little bit luckier, I'm hopeful that the London team will get this win at home. At least, Totthenem can make good use of the opportunities, as they has some pretty good players on offence. This is how they beat Manchester City amid their defeats in the league.

AC Milan at the moment is leading with 1 goal and this is just the first half, and I am sure there will be possible more goal scores in the second half and let's see how that goes and who the match will favour between AC Milan vs Tottenham huspur.
-Even though Totteham is home the match may not still favour them since the early goal will be a great attack on their motivation in the match.

[Woodie]

Bayern are really flexing their muscle just to show PSG how superior they are over them.. 20minutes and PSG hasn't had any decent shot at goal and if it continues like this, the Germany team will start to get goals and it will be attack after attack... So far so good am rooting for a Bayern win here, say 2-0.

The quality of Tottenham's game is better than Ac milan and this is evident in the several matches they have played in the domestic league.

Tottenham are just terrible and current results do comfirm that Spurs are really out of form and Milan are already a goal up thanks to Brahim Diaz  goal.

[Lillominato89]

Tottenham are favorites to win in the match against Ac milan. The quality of Tottenham's game is better than Ac milan and this is evident in the several matches they have played in the domestic league. in this first leg I see Ac milan having a good chance to be able to put strong pressure on tottenham in the first leg because Ac milan is the host in this match, of course they will be stronger playing at home.

The line up is now available for viewing. Conte played his core players in this first leg where Harry Kane front line became the loose end for Tottenham in this match.

I agree with you. Tottenham are the favorites to go through to the next round, and I was very surprised when I turned on the TV and read that Milan had already taken the lead in the 7th minute through Diaz, Milan will obviously aim hard to make a victory at San Siro, since when they go to London the chances of winning are greatly reduced, playing the second leg at home is a significant advantage for Tottenham and Antonio Conte knows this well

AC Milan defense has not been very good this season, so they still have a lot of work to do to ensure they can stop Tottenham when they attack.

Ac milan played relatively well in this first half. I see Ac Milan game is better than what they have shown in Serie A. The 1-0 advantage must be maintained as best as possible by the AC Milan players because entering the 20th minute until the end of the first half, Tottenham was able to put pressure on AC Milan where several times  tottenham players built a good attack but luckily the ac milan players were able to break their attack.

apart from that psg and bayern munich were still 0-0 until the end of the first half. I see that there is a pretty good effort for Bayern Munich to steal the victory in this match.

So far so good am rooting for a Bayern win here, say 2-0.

I agree. The first half is over now and so far Bayern is clearly dominating the game, they have the ball most of the time and also had more chances to score then PSG. Given the fact that they are playing in Paris today i have to say that the performance of Bayern so far is pretty impressive. Itis also true though that Bayern Munich also did not have any very big chances so far. The shot from Kimmich pretty close to the end of the first half was the best chance in the game but Donnarumma made a good save there.
The outcome of the game is very hard to predict for me. Yes Bayern is dominating so far, but PSG definitely has the class to make one or even two goals out of a counterattack. So for me every outcome of this game is still very much possible. A win for any of the sides or a draw.

Going deep into the statistics of the last five matches they played against each other, Bayern Munich has won four while PSG has only won one; this clearly shows how consistent Bayern Munich is when playing PSG, but let's keep watching the match, but I have hope on Bayern because of their recent league form.

Moving away from the history of the two teams and considering their performance tonight I think Bayern Munich is on the better side to win PSG this can be seen clearly in their dominance in ball control, ball possession, and goal attempt. PSG has been doing more defending as they are yet to make any good attempts since the beginning of the first half till the time of this post so I don't see them winning this game unless they play better in the second half of game but Bayern Munich is a better team to win to be honest.

[bitzizzix]

It looks like PSG need Kylian Mbappe to be able to attack Bayern Munich because throughout the first half Bayern Munich continued to attack and also dominated the game. And I didn't see Lionel Messi dribble and, only 1 free kick in the last minute of the first half.
there had to be a change in the second half, and I saw Kylian Mbappe on the bench, whether he will be used in the second half or not.

and for AC Milan vs Tottenham, AC Milan won 1-0 over Tottenham and the goal came from Brahim Diaz in the 7th minute. And Tottemham dominated the game and I hope Tottenham score in the second half because they kept attacking and trying to score in the first half.

[GxSTxV]

It was a tense match with both teams striving for the win, but unfortunately we didn't see any clear-cut scoring opportunities from either side this first half. Paris Saint-Germain has been defending well until now while Bayern Munich has been slightly more dominant in their play. However the performance of Neymar was a cause for concern as his lacklustre display and unprofessional behavior on the field highlighted the significance of having Kylian Mbappé in the squad. The absence of the young striker is so obvious and it's clear that he creates a big difference to the team and probably he would create better opportunities hopefully we going to see a better second half. I would bet on PSG win if Mbappé could participate on this second half

[ingiltere]

First half was a huge disappointment. PSG don't even have a real dangerous attack whole half. Bayern had some unsuccessful shots. I hope second half will be better. Teams play carefully, both teams don't want to concede a goal. PSG need to score at home though, or second leg will be harder for them. Mbappe will play in second half, that should change the way how things work for PSG. Neymar and Messi were ineffective.
