UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[BitcoinAccepted]

Champions League is on different level for Chelsea and borussia Dortmund after slight win in the game. Karim Adeyemi is superb with stellar performance on the pitch, backup with the long runs and skills that served a big threat to the visitors in the signal park stadium. On the other side, Blues die perform tackling on Jude Bellingham and Karim Adeyemi, who were the threats in the game. Graham Potter have all the chances to bounced back to the game but he hesitated to start the right players on the pitch.

It was also to be expected that Chelsea would lose, after all, they have hardly been able to spend any money on new players, so they have not been able to get many reinforcements. But they deserved a draw. Chelsea can still surprise, just look at what happened 2 seasons ago. Chelsea won the CL. I don't know how Madrid will do in the CL, but for Liverpool this is the only competition where they can still get a result. They are out for the rest of the competition. Would it also have an effect on Man City that they have broken so many rules? Or would that only go into the CL next season? Of all the teams, Napoli made the most impression.

No, I don't think Chelsea was unlucky as you think rather they lacked they ability to score goals with the chances they created in the gameand that made them to lose without scoring even 1 goal. And for the Chelsea coach, I think he is not fit to be the Chelsea manager because the team is bigger than him. The Chelsea coach needs to get angry with some of the players when they are underperforming and I ecpeced him to talk to his players before the second jalf so that they will aim the hoal post very well since they had several goals attempts that hit the bar but, unfortunately, he keeps losing and he is not concerned about making a good change in his formation.

Results are really not getting better and all Graham does is to applaud his player's who miss clear cut chances leading to goal.
I still expect Borrussia Dortmund to knock em out next time they meet at London, as far as Graham Potter remains the coach of Chelsea they will never go further than this level. Chelsea for Christ Sake is a big club who deserves a better and bigger coach for these talented player's.

They have to start scoring goals from the next game they'll play during the Premier League game. I hope they finally impress the fans and wins comfortably.

Chelsea have to literally rebuild the team correctly. A new coach and a whole new strategy is necessary to get back to the team on its feet.
The situation there is unsustainable like that and Dortmund isn't even a hard team comparing to the others playing in Champions League.
Next week we have the other EPL unsuccessful team this season = Liverpool that will face Real Madrid. Odds are slightly in favour of Liverpool, maybe because playing home, but Real Madrid seems favourite for me.

lionel messi must have bad nightmares when he hears the name "Bayern Munich". since may 6, 2015, messi has not won a game against the team from munich.
the last victory was the match of barcelona against munich on may 6, 2015 in the stadium Camp Nou.
barcelona won then with 3:0 against munich. after that, there were only defeats. the last one yesterday with 0:1 in Paris. that is a damn long negative series.

can messi end this long negative streak on march 8 in munich ? i think....no 

It is certainly possible that Lionel Messi could end the long negative streak against Bayern Munich on March 8, but it is unlikely. Bayern Munich is a formidable opponent and have been in excellent form this season. Messi and PSG will have to be at their very best if they are to have any chance of ending the streak.

Next week the most striking matchup seems to be like Liverpool v Real Madrid. Liverpool are the favourite side for taking the victory here but I wouldn't trust them fully now. Because they are still a quite unbalanced team. I must admit that there were positive things in the match against Everton. It has been a long time since we saw them that much effective in scoring goals. But there is a big question mark about whether they can maintain this effort against Real Madrid as well.

The match is in Anfield maybe but it doesn't matter where it is played in this kind of big matches actually. Real Madrid are much different in the Champions League which is why they have dominated the tournament most of the time. Considering Liverpool's current condition I wouldn't be surprised to see a draw at the end of this leg.

[armanda90]

Benfica one step closer to quarter final after winning 0-2 from Club Brugge  at the first leg and seems the only one team having good capital for second leg and will play as home team, another team having good capital for second leg are Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan after winning 1-0 on first leg.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur still not close yet their chance qualify to next round because second leg will play at their home and should winning above two goals if want keep exist in Champion League, usually all Primer League team participants always have bigger chance qualify to quarter final on every season.

[kawetsriyanto]

A difficult match for Real Madrid later, because Liverpool will be playing at home although Liverpool are currently in a poor performance in the Premier League, but in the UCL this team is very dangerous. Previously, in the UCL final Real Madrid lucky to win because Liverpool really dominated that match, so I personally would not favor Real Madrid in this first leg.

I don't think the match will be difficult for Real Madrid.
It is very obvious that Liverpool performance looks very bad lately, they are no longer as strong as in the previous season. In EPL, they are even only in 9th place. In UCL, they are lucky that they can qualify for the current round, they still didn't face so strong opponents previously. Real Madrid is a specialist for UCL title, they will have no problem facing Liverpool. Moreover, with the current condition with Liverpool, I assume Real Madrid will be easier to defeat them with convincing goals. It will be no problem that the match to be in Liverpool home, it is not the first time to face Liverpool in Anfield.

It is certainly possible that Lionel Messi could end the long negative streak against Bayern Munich on March 8, but it is unlikely. Bayern Munich is a formidable opponent and have been in excellent form this season. Messi and PSG will have to be at their very best if they are to have any chance of ending the streak.

We can see how this will happen or not based on how the PSG coach will manage the tactic later. Because there is not only Messi who becomes the star in PSG, but Mbapee actually also is If talking about Neymar, I don't think it will be probably because his performance is now very decreasing. But Mbapee, is also very good player right now. If both Messi and Mbapee can maximize the chance, it is probably. But once more, Bayern has a strong squad, moreover, their midlines and defenders are very strong. Next, they will play against Bayern in the Allianz, so it may be more difficult there.

In fact, if you look at Club Brugge's current achievements, reaching the knockout phase as it is now, it's actually very good for them because regardless of the size of a club that is not favored like them, they are doing well in the group phase and are in their current condition competing with big clubs already. very good regardless of the result they got in this game.

I agree with you, that Club Brugge's achievements in the UCL this season are indeed very great, although later if they can't beat Benfica's aggregate points, at least Club Brugge has tried their best. On the other hand, Benfica, who are the favorites in the play-off round this time, it seems that they are very motivated by the results of last night's match and that can be a good capital for the second leg later.

The first leg ended with the advantage of benfica with an aggregate of 2 goals now.
It was a difficult condition for Club Brugge but it was predicted from the start that it would be like this.
The second leg will be at home to Benfica which is indeed very difficult for them to win but that doesn't mean the opportunity is closed even though I don't really have high hopes for this.

I didn't expect such a performance from Chelsea, I must say they surprised me. The first half was a different game and the second half was different. Both teams were equal in the first half and Chelsea dominated the second half. But they struggled to score goals. Still, this performance gave some fans hope for the team to recover.
There is not much to say about the Club Brugge - Benfica match. The difference in performance and quality between the two teams is obvious. Benfica would have won comfortably even if it was away. This result didn't surprise me either. They could have scored more goals.

Chelsea give hope to their fans I agree with that, because in this first leg match I can say that their game was more promising even though in the end they still had to narrowly lose by 1 goal to Borussia Dortmund. They still have a chance in the second leg later, they will also be more motivated to avenge their defeat and turn things around so they can get rid of Borussia Dortmund.

The chance is still there, it's just that they have to try harder.
From yesterday's first leg, there were a number of things that clearly proved that they were still a little lacking, although in this case Dortmund were also very good and we have to admit that the condition of Dortmund's defense was very disciplined.
Potter had to create a slightly new scheme because Dortmund's counterattack was quite fast and they lost in that condition where the players were always left behind and were late in anticipating when a counterattack was carried out.
At least the second leg later they have to consider that so they don't miss again like the first leg.

[Rengga Jati]

Bayern Munich won against PSG by a narrow margin of 1-0. So the match of the second leg of these two teams will become more competitive. Both teams will play to win. And PSG's situation is not good now though. However, I think both teams still have equal chances to qualify for the quarter-finals.

This will probably benefit Bayern because they are superior when playing at PSG's home. And later, of course, they will be even more enthusiastic when playing at home. Even though actually PSG has superstars, especially on the front lines, attacking lines. They have Messi, Mbappe, and also Neymar. But, could it be that the tactic was wrong? Because their attacks seemed less effective. This is certainly not because of lucky or unluckily, but something is wrong here.

The match between Liverpool vs Real Madrid will be also the enxt most interesting match to watch. This is also a high tension match moroevr for Liverpool that has big willingnessto defeat Real Madrid afetr so long time. But, as long as Real Madrid can relaly maximal and Benzema is in the rgeat fit codiiton, I really hope Real madrid  can enchance tehir eprformance and make a victory.

Agree with this because indeed this can be proof whether Liverpool really have to end now or indeed they can avenge the defeats in the previous 2 finals.
On the other hand, if this is indeed a victory again for Madrid, then it is very unfortunate that Liverpool have to lose again and do not rule out the possibility that they will also find it difficult to be in the Champions League zone next season, especially with their current conditions.
Madrid are also the reigning champions today so they will not be willing to leave in the last 16 so this will be great to watch.

[Docnaster]

Of the 4 matches that have been completed in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, maybe only Benfica won the game comfortably. Yes, it happened because their opponent was Club Brugge, which was not favored more than Benfica. With the 2 goals they won, it will make them even more comfortable when holding the second leg at their own cage, because if it's like that then they just need to hold back and try to set the tempo of the game and as much as possible so that Club Brugge can't create an aggregate shrinks and even equalizes. I think they will do well in the second leg.

Qualifying for the next round will not be difficult for Benfica. Club Brugge is not a strong team. And this team is not in good form right now. If Benfica's players can perform somewhat consistently then they will be able to beat Club Brugge again in the second leg.

Bayern Munich won against PSG by a narrow margin of 1-0. So the match of the second leg of these two teams will become more competitive. Both teams will play to win. And PSG's situation is not good now though. However, I think both teams still have equal chances to qualify for the quarter-finals.

 I  can recall what happened to Napoli in the round of 16 phases of the 2012 champion league when Chelsea won their first champions league title. Chelsea was considered a weaker team than the current club Brugge, but they triumphantly overcame Napoli in the second leg after losing about 2 goals for them in the first leg. Champion league knock-out stages to the final Phase are always unpredictable so u might be wrong to conclude that Benfica is already done with the round of 16 just after the first leg.

I don't know the kind of expectation you had for Chelsea. To me Chelsea didn’t do more than I expected them and they also didn't perform less than I expected them. What they performed is what they were supposed to perform until next season when the signings they are having now will blend well with the team. Then you will see the new birthed Chelsea where every match would be approached with confidence.

[Prince Malik]

I think the result between Dortmund and Chelsea is very logic because the clubs is having two defferent situation in their championship, Dortmund is having a run of 6 victories in a row in all competitions while Chelsea team Keep struggling in the medal of the standings in the EPL, Chelsea must do everything to get the qualification from the second match because that's all what left for them in my opinion

[Velvet78]

Liverpool - Real Madrid game is really going to be quite interesting. Liverpool have been a much better team in the Champions League so far compared to their look in the English Premier League. But their last performance against Everton in their league was also something really good. But we will see if they can play solidly against a team like Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have been their nightmare so far. They have lost so many times to Real Madrid and they would like to put an end to this as a result. But they have a really difficult job about it. Because Real Madrid are actually the most feared team in the tournament secretly as they have won this title many times recently as well.

Well , a lot of unexpected events happened in champions league .. remember barcelona who lost 4-0 at the first leg but then get through the next round after beating psg 6-1 making the aggregate 6-5 , crazy indeed football especially a competition like champions league often provide such things.

Tottenham , chelsea , psg and brugge who lost at the first leg could still do more at the second leg , remember just remember.

Most of us have given up on Chelsea even before the season began and judging from their previous performance in tge last season and the many crises that have rocked the club which have affected their player's motivation, it is undoubtedly sure that Chelsea will not make any positive impact in this season.
-Chelsea needs a total reformation to be able to get the club on track if not, Chelsea will continue to ride on past glory which is not good for the future of the club.
-I hope before the start of the next season Chelsea will have all that sorted out to have a different good result next season since they have lost out on this season.

The scenario could still be like that, especially for now, the defeats of Tottenham and Chelsea are still not too far away. But for Club Brugge actually it's still a bit difficult I think because from the start they were the underdogs.
But even though Brugge are stuck here, I think this is the best achievement for them, regardless they have had a big advantage after qualifying for this phase.

You are right about Liverpool's performance this season hasn’t been the same as previous seasons after parting ways with key players like Sadio Mané. However, they have shown a promising gameplay in the UEFA Champion's League, having advanced to the 1/8 finals wasn’t an easy challenge where we could see many big teams fail getting here. Their next opponent Real Madrid is a very strong team in UCL playing with a different face despite their struggles in LaLiga we are going to witness a beautiful match next week in my opinion.
