UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Franctoshi]

The poor performance of PSG in their past games in Ligue 1 has contributed to their home defeat to Bayern Munich side, It really a thing of shame that the essence of bringing Neymar, Messi and Mbappe together in the team which is helping the club to lift the champions league trophy is becoming a total failure.

Bayern Munich had a great performance last night in France, going over there to grab that 3 points has already given them more advantage over their opponent to be able to advance to the next stage.

[Accardo]

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.

Psg have had bad experiences in the last matches.  They got a lot of results that they didn't want and the Bayern Match was very important to fix that.  In the first half they certainly seemed to have been wiped out on the field.  In the second half, they went very well after the goal.  They scored a goal with Mbappe, but the goal was canceled because Mendes was offside before the goal.  I can't criticize Psg too much because Bayern is a strong team.  They played well in the match, but did not win.  They have to win in the rematch.

I think PSG simply played worse than Bayern objectively. Even if Mbappe had scored, the game could have been a draw. But PSG will be much more difficult to play in their next match against Bayern. They need to beat Bayern 2-0 at least. I think Bayern looked much better yesterday. They should win their home game too.

Psg didn't invest enough effort on Bayern yesterday, their game was not as interesting as people expected. Even the cancelled PSG goal looked like a genuine goal, yet, personally, I didn't want a draw because they dulled the impression I had about them before the game began. Having superstar squads like Messi and Neymar, is superb, but utilizing them the right way matters, I don't see why Mbappe didn't play the first half, they were opportunities psg lost during the first half that Mbappe wouldn't have missed if he started the game. The player that replaced Mbappe lacked speed which caused some passes to go back to the Bayern team. I loved the playing charisma bayern played with yesterday and it melted down the energy of PSG players. Hoping to see what happens on their return game. I was wondering if Messi would have scored the goal that led to the red card given to Pavard.

[rendravolt]

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.

True, if only PSG appeared with their flagship MNM trio, the match would be much more exciting. But unfortunately here PSG did not perform so well, at least 1 point aggregate is not too much so that the opportunity for PSG to reverse the aggregate at home to Bayern Munich is still open later. But this is also not an easy thing for PSG to play at home to Bayern Munich, especially since Munich is superior on aggregate, of course they will try to maintain this advantage or even increase their aggregate number with another win.

[Fara Chan]

PSG need to win at home if they want to be in the quarter-finals. If they fail to beat Bayern at home, it will be even more difficult to do so away. This happened in 2021, but it can’t always be like this, it’s a difficult task to beat the Bayern on Allianz Arena, but you shouldn’t count on it. Milan against Tottenham may not be very interesting, I think that Conte will try to draw this match.

I doubt PSG will win this match, even though this is a very important match to win, maybe when PSG's condition drops slightly with our performance we doubt their victory over Bayern Munich, I think Bayern Munich will win the match, and this is the match which is equally important for both Teams, Bayern Munich and PSG I think they have prepared a good strategy in the last 16 match, on the line - Up Mbappe doesn't appear, maybe he will be seen on the bench when he is not fully fit.

For Bayern Munich, the game against PSG is the most awaited even though their performance in the Bundesliga is not very good, but they are motivated to be able to surprise PSG, who are currently not in an ideal formation. A draw can occur if PSG is able to balance the front lines. I know without Mbappe and Messi it makes PSG look dull. The absence of their 2 biggest strengths requires the back line to work harder and avoid fatal mistakes that can open gaps.

Even though Bayern Munich doesn't look very good in the Bundesliga, they can prove it in the Champions and can beat PSG at PSG's home ground, even though the score isn't too big but I'm sure they will win, and through the game that is over, Bayern Munich won the match by taking advantage of the performance PSG which is not ideal at the moment, I think PSG will change in the next meeting away from home, but it is difficult for him, Bayern Munich Also prepare as best as possible in the next game.

[rahmad2nd]

I think PSG should take advantage of the moment in the second leg because they certainly want to advance to the next round, Munich is a club that is difficult to beat in the Champions League, even though I lost my bet for PSG last night at least I'm satisfied to see PSG play well, it's just unlucky to score a goal against Munich goal

PSG has suffered a series of three defeats in all competitions, and one of them was in last night's game against Bayern. IMO, this time Galtier implemented a 4-4-2 formation with a counterattack scenario. unfortunately, the PSG players do not support the system that Galter implements. and yes, there were many blunders made by PSG defenders in the first half, plus Hakimi's poor performance. there was an imbalance in the first half, in fact PSG almost didn't have a chance in the first half. on the contrary, Bayern played very aggressively. Nagelsmann's squad has a lot of chances.

Meanwhile, PSG started to find their rhythm in the second half after Mbappe came on to replace C.Soler. Too bad Mbappe's two goals had to be ruled out for offside and VAR. Next, like it or not Galtier must play his full strength in the second leg and prepare his team to overthrow Bayern later.

Even though Bayern Munich doesn't look very good in the Bundesliga, they can prove it in the Champions and can beat PSG at PSG's home ground, even though the score isn't too big but I'm sure they will win, and through the game that is over, Bayern Munich won the match by taking advantage of the performance PSG which is not ideal at the moment, I think PSG will change in the next meeting away from home, but it is difficult for him, Bayern Munich Also prepare as best as possible in the next game.

In the Champions League, every team that is in it will always show a slightly different performance from what is usually shown in their respective domestic leagues, and I am not surprised when I see Bayern Munich being able to win at home to PSG in the last 16 of the Champions League, even though before the match started I had believed that PSG could win, but in reality it was not. So, also for the match at home to Bayern Munich, it will also be very difficult to predict who will win because these two teams both have extraordinary abilities in scoring goals.

The poor performance of PSG in their past games in Ligue 1 has contributed to their home defeat to Bayern Munich side, It really a thing of shame that the essence of bringing Neymar, Messi and Mbappe together in the team which is helping the club to lift the champions league trophy is becoming a total failure.
Bayern Munich had a great performance last night in France, going over there to grab that 3 points has already given them more advantage over their opponent to be able to advance to the next stage.

The thing with having Messi, Neymar and Mbappe playing together in one team at the same time is obviously great because those three players are always able to create great chances to score even out of completely nowhere. Yesterday was another proof for that because even though Paris was the weaker team yesterday it still felt like they are able to score a goal at almost anytime.
That being said, it is also a disadvantage if you are playing with Mbappe, Neymar and Messi because they are doign literally nothign to support the defense of their team and that is a huge factor in today's football. Other teams are defending with 10 players while PSG is only defending with 7. That is also a reason why PSG has not won the CL so far in my opinion.

[execijutiere]

Milan vs Tottenham was a balanced game. We know that both teams have been out of form and doing badly lately. Nevertheless, both teams played here in search of a win to forget these bad results. Since Milan were the hosts, they had the advantage and that's what happened.  Milan won the match with a single goal.
In the PSG-Munich match, I think Bayern Munich played overwhelmingly. PSG didn't even exist in the first half. PSG recovered a bit in the second half but couldn't find a goal and had to be defeated.

[hahay]

Even though Messi plays at PSG but as far as I remember, Messi still hasn't been able to beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League event, at least these bad results have continued since Messi was still playing at Barcelona. Indeed, this case is not just about one player and I am aware of that, but in this case I think even though PSG are playing at home and the reality is PSG still can't play more aggressively.

Because after all, in the first half PSG really didn't have an attempted attack or pressure on the Bayern Munich defense, whereas in this match PSG played at home. Supposedly, because PSG are playing at home PSG should be able to play more attacking from the first half, but PSG played so cautious that they didn't have many attempts to make goal attempts and that's a shame.

Mbappe has been making an ultimatum to the PSG's director if PSG will be losing against bayern and mbappe will be leaving from the club. it's such a shame for a player like mbappe was not able winning UCL while his friend thiago silva after moving to the chelsea was able to take UCL trophy.
Mbappe will be frustated once he will not able to pass bayern.

This is what already stated by mbappe after referee was refusing his goal due to the off side

“We have to remember the end, we have a disadvantage but we saw that we were able to put them in difficulty, all our players must be in good health and go there to win at home and qualify.

(On his return from injury) It was complicated, unpredictable… I wasn’t supposed to play, I wanted to help my friends, bring energy, we tried everything, we worked day and night and I was able to play a bit … It’s not what I wanted, I always want to play but sometimes you have to be content with what you can do, and today I could only do that.

(On the return match) Above all, we need all our players to be in good health, that everyone eats well, sleeps well, and we have seen that when we are full we are able to play forward, to play attacking football and they were not uncomfortable. My goal refused? It’s the new football, there’s VAR… If there’s an offside, don’t worry, you have to switch quickly. We have to keep the positive and go there to qualify because with what I have seen, there is room.

The second leg must be a set price for PSG even though it is playing at home to Bayern Munich, IMO PSG is able to press even more aggressively. I know Mbappe may not be fully fit because he entered in the second half so he didn't show his full game at half time and the important thing is that 1 goal behind is not big enough as it should be even though we know Bayern munich will always be strong in every match.

Galtier as a coach must be able to find good gaps to redeem Bayern Munich's defense later, with good enough attack power he should be able to create goal opportunities, but I hope that in the second leg it will be PSG's comeback.

Since Milan were the hosts, they had the advantage and that's what happened.  Milan won the match with a single goal.

I had higher expectations from Tottenham. I would say they played very badly. AC Milan's defense is weak now. They are not in good form. Milan conceded 5 and 4 goals against Sassuolo and Lazio respectively. In such a situation, if Tottenham had played an attacking strategy in this match, they would have been able to break Milan's defense. But Tottenham did not play an attacking strategy in this match. They have very few attacks. And as a result, they were defeated. I would say poor match strategy was the main reason for Tottenham's defeat.

Even though neither team is at its best, it might be safe to say that Tottenham, despite losing to Leicester in their most recent match, was able to handle Man City. However, Milan was the host of this match, and they were aware of its significance in comparison to their Serie matches. Even though the defense of AC Milan is susceptible, Tottenham just allowed four goals in their most recent matchup with Leicester too. Hugo Lloris could have changed things. The injury of Lloris suffered costs Tottenham too.

[aylabadia05]

I would like to say to @coinlocket$ that both of my predictions were wrong. I gave a prediction that PSG would win against Bayern Munich Leg 1 but the result was Messi and his friends lost.
AC Milan vs Tottenham Hotspur match my prediction was also wrong where I gave a prediction if the match result was a draw, but in reality Spurs lost.

Of your two predictions in the two matches yesterday only one was wrong, namely the prediction of Tottenham's win, because AC Milan managed to excel through a quick goal in the first half scored by Brahim Diaz in the 7th minute.

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.

For the Leg 1 Round of 16 Dortmund vs Chelsea match, I chose to give an answer if Dortmund would win and would choose to draw the Club Brugge vs Benfica match.

The only reason why totthenham didn't score when Milan conceded so many goals against sassuolo and lazio was the style of play. I was definitely expecting a goal from totthenham in this match but they didn't score. As you said Milan have been having defensive problems in recent games and it's a pity for them that totthenham couldn't score in such a match. On Milan's side, it's worth saying that it was a win that will make them forget their bad results in the league.

I think it's not that Spurs didn't play attacking football, it's just that they don't play well and they don't have the players who can build a team's game and can score... That's why they lost, although Milan are also in bad form at the moment... I was betting on Spurs to win but was convinced yesterday that it was a bad idea...

[Unsoldier]

 VAR took away PSG's comeback because of a 0.1 cm offsides - it's awful. I'm speechless after that. It's time for a new rule in soccer: "offside only counts if it's more than 10cm." VAR and offsides rob us of soccer, of adrenaline, of a comeback. These things are "Football" for us. It makes me sad that soccer is collapsing and I want soccer to be more interesting.

The only goal of AC Milan, who are now ranked fifth in their domestic league, is to secure a place in the champions league for the upcoming season. But when they defeated the visitors in the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in the Champions League game, they really shocked me. In the early minutes of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur players were hesitant to expose their weaknesses to their opponents. However, the rossoneri took advantage of their opportunities, and we are now leading 1-0. The Spurs struggle on the field despite applying constant pressure to the hosts, but it wasn't easy for them either. Stefano Pioli is pleased with their success and Malick and Leao's outstanding performance.

[hyudien]

Club Brugge will face quite a strong opponent where currently Benfica leads Group H above PSG. Benfica, which has played so far without defeat, is an advantage for them to continue to extend their position from PSG's pursuit. Meanwhile, Club Brugge can still surprise Benfica because so far they have started with an unpredictable game. Experiencing a 1x defeat for Club Brugge is still enough to be able to provide resistance for Benfica, who are now without Enzo Fernandez, having lost a bit of strength.

VAR took away PSG's comeback because of a 0.1 cm offsides - it's awful. I'm speechless after that. It's time for a new rule in soccer: "offside only counts if it's more than 10cm." VAR and offsides rob us of soccer, of adrenaline, of a comeback. These things are "Football" for us. It makes me sad that soccer is collapsing and I want soccer to be more interesting.

VAR is still VAR that is still controlled by humans. So it would be too risky if VAR rules all forms of regulation on the pitch where we have lost a lot of moments. VAR is increasingly controversial about its use. It is true that VAR is useful in helping referees to be more observant, but sometimes the use of VAR also causes quite a bit of controversy. Who controls the VAR and it depends on how it is used, it is difficult to avoid problems when VAR is already playing a role on the pitch.

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

Again, again and again Bayern Munich is an obstacle for PSG to qualify for the next round, even though Bayern Munich now no longer has its flagship striker who moved to Barcelona but still Bayern Munich is a team that is hard to beat in the champions league, experience and mentality that Bayern Munich has able to destroy the depth of the star squad owned by PSG, even though it only lost 1-0 and PSG still has a chance in the second leg later, but at least this defeat can make PSG work harder when playing at the Allianz Arena later.

Bayern Munich is known for doing very well I'm Champions league. Right from the time the fixture was made, I had no doubt that Bayern will qualify.  Even when the rumour of Manuel Neuer came after that of Mane. I still believed that Bayern Munich will qualify. In the second half, if Mbappe would be around they could give a nice fight.
