UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[X-ray]

Barcelona will be meeting Manchester United in a football encouter in the champions league, this game will be a strong one because both teams are currently in good form, both teams are not ready to pave way for each other but I strongly believe that the best of all is going to win, multiple goals should be expected in this match because of the current attacking force of both team.

Then, you shall try to write this in another section that been dedicated for europa league. It's not so hard to discuss about it in the right place as barcelona and MU didn't play in champion league. So, no reason to keep discussing it here.

Bayern Munich mad a hige step to the qualification after beating psg 0-1, the dominated the first half and scored the first goal in the beggening of the second half, they was very close from scoring the second goal but the psg GK was awesome, psg need big work in the second leg if they want to qualify to the quarter final

It's not only a huge step but it would become a very big motivation for bayern. The next game gonna happen in allianz arena. We do know that how good bayern was playing on its home against PSG, it can be seen from the result of last year. PSG was almost losing against bayern on allianz arena.

[imamusma]

Both Bayern and PSG have very good players but as a team, PSG players are not able to unite as a whole solid team and in their team, there are holes that affect them a lot in Champions League. I believe one of biggest weaknesses of PSG is their coach position and they must find a coach who is winner in Champions League like Ancelotti and Mourinho. They have many good attacking players so they don't need to have a coach like Pep or Klopp. They must find a coach who can bring balance for their team by improving their defense.

I agree that PSG doesn't have a coach that is worth it with the quality of their current team. Christophe Galtier seems to have failed to prove himself as a coach who can influence PSG's confidence in the Champions League so it will be difficult for him to achieve success in the Champions League. After all, Ligue 1 has the lowest league ranking compared to Serie A, Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga and maybe that's why PSG are looking so hard to establish themselves as the best champions on the European stage.

If there is something that needs to be improved, then I agree that the position of coach should be replaced with a more experienced coach. Then I also agree that some of their midfielders are not as strong as expected even though their defense and attack look very good. Danilo Pereira, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Carlos Soler, Fabian Ruiz don't seem to be midfielders who are really capable of bringing a lot of success to PSG in big competitions. I tend to agree that PSG must get the best midfielder who has better quality than some of the names above.

I posted just yesterday in the transfer speculation thread and I'll say it again here, Neymar will probably be transferred in the next transfer window.
In my opinion, the problem is not the coach, but the fight of egos within the club, too many "stars", too much marketing and not enough soccer.
When Neymar leaves the team, you will see that it will improve, and if they can put less presssure to win the UCL, they might have a much better chance of reaching the final again.
But I repeat, much of the team's problem is Neymar, just like the Brazilian national team.

The PSG team still has a chance to continue in the Champions, it is not difficult to see teams recovering from a bad result, but it will be a difficult task to recover in such a short time and with an opponent like Bayern.

The odds are now all Bayer's.

[CryptocurencyKing]

That means mbappe was not fully recovered. That's why he got benched. The problem is PSG can do nothing in the first half. So many attacks were coming from bayern. PSG should have won the match but it seems like that PSG must accept the truth if the club must face bayern in allianz arena with the very difficult situation caused by PSG losing in aggregate against bayern. Bayern is now trying to perform the best. what a comeback from bayern.
People who have faith in bayern must got decent money from there. PSG can do nothing with all of its superstars.

Yes, another reason is PSG doesn't have a champion mentally to face Bayern even has a superstar squad. Maybe because of this reason Mbappe want to leave. As we know, it's not fast to build that mental even have alot of money, The club like PSG, Man City and others is have money to buy expensive player and build the superstar squad and maybe able to stand to local league, but it's not work when fight on Champion League where must have mentally like Bayern and Madrid.

This PSG team lacks structure, team work and precision. They over do things and make simple things complicated. This team has a lot of problems and this current coach can't fix them. Honestly I think their usual poor performance in the UCL boils down to the fact that their home league doesn't challenge them enough to deal with the stronger teams when they face them.

I will never regret it if PSG also fail to reach the quarter-finals this season, but anything is still very possible because there is another leg that will be very decisive. PSG had to work hard in the second leg because their home defeat in the first leg wasn't big, it was only 0-1.

Hope is still there but of course it's difficult because Bayern Munich learned a lot last season when they loss by non-favorite Spain team. The winning is mandatory for PSG in the second leg so this defeat is not a good reason to dash their hopes of qualifying. But every player must be quite aware that they must give their best to repay all the trust of the coach and his team to win something big.

...

I also think this is PSG's problem, they haven't found a coach with international capacity who can manage the egos of PSG's star players. Galttier in that game used a 4-4-2 formation with Messi and Neymar on the front lines but it seems that it hasn't been effective, I think it's really bad luck for PSG because in such an important match Mbappe got injured.


while milan vs tottenham ended with a narrow win for milan, it was really a good performance shown by diaz, he managed to score a quick goal for milan's victory. even though Milan's performance in the local league is bad, in the champions league I quite appreciate Milan's performance, the second leg will take place at home to Tottenham, I wonder if Milan will be able to hold a draw or even win again from Tottenham later.

It seems that not many people are talking about Milan's win over Tottenham today because PSG's loss to Bayern Munich was much more global. I have to care enough about how Milan accomplishes its mission after not being consistent in Serie A, and this win is a good sign of confidence from everyone.

PSG, who hosted Bayern Munich, had to admit the advantage of the away team after Coman scored. That was the only legitimate goal in the match even though PSG had scored a goal which was later disallowed for offside. VAR has helped Bayern Munich win at the Parc des Princes, and PSG have been very unlucky during the match.

you are right Galtier is not experienced enough for a platform like the Champions League. PSG can't find an experienced coach though or they are ready to spend a lot of money. Bad match strategy was the main reason for PSG's defeat against Bayern Munich. If PSG's match strategy was good, they would have been able to win. Galtier should have understood that the opponents here are experienced teams like Bayern Munich. They will definitely play attacking. PSG should have focused entirely on counter-attacking. But they didn't do it. Moreover, PSG's gameplay was a bit slow from the beginning of the match due to the absence of Mbappe in the starting XI.

Everyone expected that the match between Tottenham and FC Milan would definitely go in Tottenham's favor as Tottenham's performance in the English Premier League was impressive but Serie A Milan's performance was not very good. But coming to the Champions League, Milan played against Tottenham.  In this Super Sixteen match, they beat Tottleham 1-0.

PSG, who hosted Bayern Munich, had to admit the advantage of the away team after Coman scored. That was the only legitimate goal in the match even though PSG had scored a goal which was later disallowed for offside. VAR has helped Bayern Munich win at the Parc des Princes, and PSG have been very unlucky during the match.

If we look at the PSG vs Bayern Munich match of the Super Sixteen yesterday, we can see that PSG's performance against Bayern Munich was really disappointing. Bayern Munich were playing a lot of attacking games from the start.  At first they managed to make a few attacks. But PSG's defense was able to resist those attacks.  But later K. Coman's goal (53') led Bayan Munich to 1-0. Then both teams tried hard to score, but in the end neither team could score. Later the result of the game went in favor of Bayern Munich. However, in this match PSG managed to make only nine shots of which only four shots were on target but Bayern Munich managed to make 19 shots against them with 7 shots on target.

But every player must be quite aware that they must give their best to repay all the trust of the coach and his team to win something big.

The defeat in the 1st leg which occurred at home was certainly a heavy blow for PSG. Linoel Messi's steps to advance to the quarterfinals can be said to be very difficult even though the opportunity is still open.

But Bayern also still has shortcomings that PSG might take advantage of in the second leg later. It was proven that when Mbappe entered, Bayern's defense became very chaotic. It's just that the PSG coach, Galtier, was less observant in reading the situation on the field and was late to include Mbappe. So he has to carry that burden.

[bering]

Too bad for Bayern in that first half that they couldn't score a goal after completing dominating the game, luckily they have been able to score in this half and kept a clean record so far. Neymar has not played so well, PSG suddenly had more chances when Mbappe was subbed in, had he been played on time, they would have had better chance than they did. The goal that PSG managed to score that was ruled out for offside by VAR will be talked about, but on the brighter side of things, PSG will have a second chance and a goal down is something they can recover from in the second leg.

Yes, unfortunately Bayern couldn't score in the first half, I see Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was unlucky there were a lot of good opportunity for this guy. Alphonso Davies give a good pass for Kingsley Coman, so Bayern got a scored and I think that's a pretty good goal from Coman. I'm quite disappointed with Galtier, If Mbappe play on the first half maybe PSG can scored. But yeah you're right, I also believe PSG in the second leg they can recover and can play better, because in this first leg PSG striker are not in good performance.

1-0 is not high score but this is important winning because Bayern has get it from away matches and PSG have do work more hard if want to qualified because at least they have to scoring 2 goals in the second leg and it won't be easy because Bayern at home were very strong and during group stage Bayern were unbeatable even Barcelona and Inter has been lose at there

Regarding the match why Gatlier played Mbappe not since beginning of match i will assume Mbappe still not fully recover so it's risky to playing him since early minutes and actually PSG game were better after Mbappe played even 10 minutes before second half ended i can see PSG has make some attempts through an Mbappe, Neymar and Messi but unfortunately they still can't even equalized the score

[Furious 7]

Match between PSG and Bayern today, PSG as the host of this match didn't give a good fight, this home side has not been playing well lately seeing a team like PSG always disappointing fans is not a good one, despite that it was a 1:0 win against them in favour of the away side, when we look at the total analysis of this match we will understand that Bayern did well in everything both dangerous attack and  the possession than the host team so judging with this the visiting team deserve the victorious outcome

But indeed the result is still the same as many people have predicted even though in this match they forced their star players but the result was still a victory for Bayern.
The match actually went fiercely and that was a really good condition, it's just that looking at ball possession, opportunities and of course Bayern clearly understands better and with this result they are a little safer even though the 2nd leg can sometimes be unexpected.

[indah rezqi]

1-0 is not high score but this is important winning because Bayern has get it from away matches and PSG have do work more hard if want to qualified because at least they have to scoring 2 goals in the second leg and it won't be easy because Bayern at home were very strong and during group stage Bayern were unbeatable even Barcelona and Inter has been lose at there

Regarding the match why Gatlier played Mbappe not since beginning of match i will assume Mbappe still not fully recover so it's risky to playing him since early minutes and actually PSG game were better after Mbappe played even 10 minutes before second half ended i can see PSG has make some attempts through an Mbappe, Neymar and Messi but unfortunately they still can't even equalized the score

Many people think that PSG's 0-1 defeat has allowed Bayern Munich to easily qualify for the quarter-finals. PSG basically still has a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals if they win the second leg at the Allianz Arena with a good score difference. That is possible even though Bayern Munich have won the first leg. PSG's victory is not something impossible, but they have to work harder to win it.

The second round will be played in March, but to judge this match we only have to see how both of them perform in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga. Each of the two teams have 3 games before the second leg, and a lot of things will change for that game I think.

This could be the worst timing for Chelsea to be playing against Borussia Dortmund in the Uefa Champions League, Borussia Dortmund are currently sitting on a wonderful form in the Bundesliga league and vice versa Chelsea are clearly struggling to even score goals at the moment. With the home fans cheering for Borussia Dortmund, I think Borussia Dortmund should be able to beat Chelsea at the final whistle.

PSG, who hosted Bayern Munich, had to admit the advantage of the away team after Coman scored. That was the only legitimate goal in the match even though PSG had scored a goal which was later disallowed for offside. VAR has helped Bayern Munich win at the Parc des Princes, and PSG have been very unlucky during the match.

It's caused by there are so many superstars in PSG. Majority of people wanna see how good the performance is from superstars of PSG. There are messi, neymar and mbappe. These players are also having so many followers which was making the hype for the match between bayern against PSG were so big compared with totenham against ac milan. I personally didn't also pay much attention to the ac milan against totneham. I just know milan has broken another milestone by defeating totenham with 1-0 as the final result. Some comments were coming from acmilan's players like leao who has been saying if milan could able scored lots of goals against totenham and tonali which was saying totenham's movement quite easy to be predicted before.

[rendravolt]

We know that these two teams PSG vs Bayern Munich will be a match that is always looked forward to in the champions league and indeed these two teams can be said to be almost balanced, but sometimes a pretty good result is not necessarily good for the losing team and this is what PSG experienced. They appeared confident at home and it looks like Messi, who was previously doubtful due to injury, was included in the starting lineup, while it seems Kylian Mbappe, who has not fully recovered, will also have to wait his turn on the bench.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich, who appeared with a full squad, was able to solve the need for goals in the 53rd minute through Kingley Coman's kick and at the same time closed this match with a score of 0-1 for Bayern Munich's victory. After that goal, Kylian Mbappe came on in the 57th minute to replace Carlos Soler, but indeed there were 2 goals from Kylian Mbappe that were disallowed by the referee and that made PSG unable to move to turn things around. In the second leg later I hope PSG will appear at full strength and hopefully they can catch up on this aggregate, even though it sounds difficult but I'm sure they can.

[Strongkored]

This could be the worst timing for Chelsea to be playing against Borussia Dortmund in the Uefa Champions League, Borussia Dortmund are currently sitting on a wonderful form in the Bundesliga league and vice versa Chelsea are clearly struggling to even score goals at the moment. With the home fans cheering for Borussia Dortmund, I think Borussia Dortmund should be able to beat Chelsea at the final whistle.

In today's first leg, Dortmund will very likely score a lot of goals and beat Chelsea. Dortmund has a pretty good average goal compared to Chelsea. As you said, Chelsea is even difficult to score when dealing with a team that can be said to be weak.

Brugge vs Benfica can be said to be a match that is not given much attention, dealing with Brugge is an advantage for Benfica and they are a team that can be said to be certain to go to the quarterfinals.

[Awaklara]

In the second leg later I hope PSG will appear at full strength and hopefully they can catch up on this aggregate, even though it sounds difficult but I'm sure they can.

in the second leg, Munich will play at home. and that will make them even more aggressive. even playing away from Munich was quite aggressive by making 18 shots. different things are shown by PSG. and to perform better in the second leg, PSG must play totally with their best squad.
I bet on the match for a draw. but Munich turned out to be superior. things might have been different if PSG had used their 3 best strikers from the start.

[Bitinity]

But Bayern also still has shortcomings that PSG might take advantage of in the second leg later. It was proven that when Mbappe entered, Bayern's defense became very chaotic. It's just that the PSG coach, Galtier, was less observant in reading the situation on the field and was late to include Mbappe.

This is what I'm wondering why the coach did not place Mbappe in the starting lineups. By comparing the statistic between the 1st and 2nd half, it shows that PSG was improved a lot in the 2nd half. It means that the substitutions made in the beginning of the 2nd half was a success although they were conceded the winning goal by Bayern in the 2nd half as well. I'm sure Galtier has evaluated the match in order to play better in the 2nd leg. 1-0 is not that difficult as long as they can do much better performance in the 2nd leg.

With the home fans cheering for Borussia Dortmund, I think Borussia Dortmund should be able to beat Chelsea at the final whistle.

This is a very frightening and heart beating period for Chelsea fans. They have a team that is filled with top-class talented players that lacks coordination and strategy. Coach Graham Potter seems to be confused and helpless when it comes to tactics. Based on current performance Borussia Dortmund has the advantage but this is the Champions League and not the EPL. We have seen teams that are struggling in their local league putting up some wonderful performances in the CL. The Chelsea team is still through its transformational stage but this doesn't allow any opponent to underrate them. Winning the Champions League seems to be the only way Chelsea can be part of European football next year, thus the players will put in their best.
