UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[püsür]

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.

Chelsea played well but the team needs time to get used to each other. But Kai Havertz should leave this team asap. It will be better for both Chelsea and Havertz. There is potential in the team, there is effort, but the finishing leg is missing and they are out of shape. They will either get a link player like Benzema or they will get a poucher. Both are the type of player who can push this team forward. For Chelsea, we have to wait for the next season, not this season, they formed a new team, new players, getting used to etc. We may see a completely different Chelsea next season.

I have learned something in football I draft from Real Madrid last Champions League season, a match isn't over until it is over, we quickly make assumptions that when a team is underperforming in a match event, people become emotional that they will lose but Real Madrid last year performance was the biggest in Champions League that surprise everyone, how they moved from knockout stage to lose to PSG and won in the second leg and that was how they all did till the final day and Liverpool eventually lost to them, they can still perform the similar thing in their domestic Laliga league that everyone thinks they are hopeless to reach and no doubts, Real Madrid is coming out of this knockout stage successfully.

Real Madrid is the king of the Champions League in terms of its title participation so far. So I've never wondered why a team like Real Madrid was actually able to come off a lot of pressure and win the final.

This season there is a possibility that Real Madrid will not be able to repeat the same success as last season. I know Liverpool are worse in form, but Real Madrid also have some weaknesses that can be exploited. It's good to expect Liverpool to win in the first leg, it's home but everything will be decided in 90 minutes.

I agree with you that Real Madrid deserve that title. I believe they have won the Champions league trophy more times than any other team and the fact that they won it 3 times in a row and 4 times in 5 years makes them worthy of bearing the title, this season they still have opportunity to try and win again but first they have to defeat Liverpool.

In this condition everything is still possible, but looking at Madrid's actual condition, if you look in the mirror from last season, they are also not too favorite, but the conditions are now different. They are the defending champions, on the other hand, they also have experience, and with Liverpool's current condition, can they still be the favorites in this condition? I do not think so. Last season, with the extraordinary performance shown by Liverpool, they still have to accept the harsh reality and this season they are worse than usual. I think with this condition alone I'm already sure that even if Madrid are still not in the favorites to be champions but in this phase they will qualify.

I personally have never worried about Real Madrid in the Champions League as long as Benzema is not injured. But if Benzema is not available then I think our big hopes are not so good this season to defend the title.

Benzima will most likely play this match. He's not injured, but he has physical exhaustion, according to Ancelotti. Obviously, Benzima is the most important player for Real Madrid in this match, so Ancelotti decided to give him a bit of comfort before the match, especially as he's back from an injury.
I think this match is unpredictable. However, I give a small priority to Real Madrid as they have a clear advantage with regard to the previous meetings.

[terrorJR]

I think Liverpool is luckier because the first game is in England.  As a team, they are not very good in the Premier league, but they can perform differently in the Champions league.  The Champions League is an arena where players want to prove themselves.  That's why Liverpool will try very hard to win at home.

This is indeed an advantage, but on the other hand, playing at Anfield is also not something scary because Liverpool's performance is below average.
But indeed at least playing at home will certainly get an injection of encouragement especially this is a revenge match for them but for Madrid I think they will still carry out the same strategy as the previous fianl against Liverpool.

Yes, from the results of the 1st leg match, even though Chelsea's attacks were barrage of attacks without pause, Borussia Dortmund had to pile up all their players in the defense, Chelsea's game was very good with short passes and very good speed. Chelsea's attacks were quite troublesome and even on target several times just because the Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper played brilliantly and this was also Potter's task, namely to fix the opponent's counterattack. There is still a 2nd leg, anything can still happen, I'm sure the 2nd leg at home to Chelsea can reverse the score from Borussia Dortmund.

After an amazing run in the Serie A and Champions League both, Napoli are getting close to playing the first leg of the Frankfurt matchup. I think Napoli are way ahead of their opponent at the moment. Because I can't say Frankfurt are in good condition now. They have started to make point losses a lot and this has caused them to lose momentum.

If you can't concentrate on your game completely against a team like Napoli then your chance of getting an advantageous result drops down sharply. I expect Napoli to beat them in Germany honestly. Maybe it would be by one goal but I still expect them to get the win.

Revenge with Liverpool's not-so-good condition doesn't look like it's going to be easy, because apart from that Liverpool must really fight with more enthusiasm at home. What Liverpool is facing is a team that is currently not in a bad condition so that makes it a little more difficult for the Liverpool team. And I also agree with what you are saying because Real Madrid will continue to use its best strategy against Liverpool in the Champions League, moreover Real Madrid is a team that takes the Champions League very seriously every season.

I just hope Chelsea would not play like the way they played before. This is another opportunity before the great Chelsea team and also in there home to display there ability and make sure they give us a straight winning. Chelsea had been losing matches consistently and I wish this time around would be better. I can't just imagine a small winning Chelsea for no reason.
This win can boost Chelsea score a little bit on the table. Everyone is looking forward to this game even those that are not Chelsea fans. This is our home so Chelsea has to win this match or there adversaries will laugh at them.

Chelsea didn't play badly in that game, we all could see that they were just unlucky to not have the advantages at the first half of the game as Chelsea showed many times their quality. Félix has two clear chances that could have given us the lead so it wasn't like we played that badly and also the goal difference is just one goal so we're still in this competition and I believe we can outscore them at Stanford bridge with atleast two goals to steal the quarter finals from them. A scoreline of 2-0 in favor of Chelsea and we have progressed to the next stage.

In the return leg, Graham Potter should make sure he pairs Kovačić with Enzo Fernandez and then involves Mason Mount in the game. We could all see the difference he brought to the team when he was substituted on. We should play a midfielder of three, attack of three as well and drop Kai Havertz and Ziyech. He should play Mudryk Felix and Madueke then a defense of back four which should involve, Ben chilwel, Badiashile, Tiago silver and then Reece James. I don't see us losing that game with this lineup.

It is true that Benzema is experiencing physical fatigue and in the match against Osasuna in the domestic league it is likely that he will be absent to maintain his stamina and for the match against Liverpool in the UCL will be his priority. When talking about the Real Madrid vs Liverpool meeting in the UCL, it is very clear that Real Madrid has the advantage to win this match, even though there are problems in the context above, I think that there are still quite a lot of options for Real Madrid players so Ancelotti is not too bothered about this.

Chelsea must be able to create quick goals to make them equalize on aggregate first. Because if they can score a quick goal, it will increase their morale because they can make the game a draw again. Regardless of what the result is for them, I think they will be able to score goals in the second leg, but I can't say for sure whether they will make a comeback or not, it's hard to predict.

chelsea percentage to win in leg 2 against dortmund reaches 60%, but i also really agree with what you said, Chelsea must be able to score goals quickly so that the confidence of the other players builds up, with big money boehly spent to rebuild Chelsea, let's hope it doesn't disappoint.

I think Liverpool is luckier because the first game is in England.  As a team, they are not very good in the Premier league, but they can perform differently in the Champions league.  The Champions League is an arena where players want to prove themselves.  That's why Liverpool will try very hard to win at home.

liverpool has a minimal chance of winning against madrid even though this match will take place at anfield stadium, we can't deny that mentality is a very important thing in UCL matches and madrid is a team that has that, i'm sure ancelotti will not take this match lightly and will use madrid's full power.

Liverpool shall not miss the opportunity to play at home first against real madrid. The problem is now if im not even sure if liverpool has been getting back its best performance.

Gakpo and nunez have become a main concern in this case. Gakpo and Nunez may not able to perform so well against real madrid. Real madrid was not everton as a club who placed in the relegation zone. Real madrid was a team with most of UCL trophies and it's still above liverpool.

Liverpool needs also to rely on its luck. Benzema will become a key for madrid to defeat liverpool.

I'm not sure if Real Madrid have advantage to win against Liverpool, because if you look on the bookies, Real Madrid become an underdog. I think we need to see the result of Real Madrid vs Osasuna first, if Real Madrid can score at least 2 goals, I believe they have a good chance to beat Liverpool. Another problem Toni Kroos will be absent too, Tchouameni doesn't have stable performance like Kroos.

We also have another match between Frankfurt and Napoli, I strongly believe Napoli will win, the odds is high too for @2.12, a worthy match to make a bet.

Chelsea must be able to create quick goals to make them equalize on aggregate first. Because if they can score a quick goal, it will increase their morale because they can make the game a draw again. Regardless of what the result is for them, I think they will be able to score goals in the second leg, but I can't say for sure whether they will make a comeback or not, it's hard to predict.

Chelsea is trying to buy many superstar players and soon they will have a stronger team but right now and regarding their match against Dortmund let's say they could win the last match against this team and the German star Karim Adeyemi scored an amazing goal for Dortmund while Chelsea couldn't do anything even Chelsea had more shots on target and more opportunities but still they lost the game and should try harder for next match in they play against Dortmund in Stamford Bridge later.

Actually, from the Chelsea vs Dortmund match, we can already see that there has been a good improvement in Chelsea's performance. But Dortmund, who are currently in their best performance, are certainly very difficult to beat. But in the second leg I think Chelsea can be even better. currently Graham potter is under pressure so he will definitely make a better strategy in the next match. to save himself and the club's reputation.

[fuguebtc]

besides that Chelsea also lost in the first leg which will make their players have to try hard in the second leg later. the advantage for chelsea is that they host the second leg so the opportunity is still wide open for them.

I don't think Chelsea will have an extra advantage in home matches. Chelsea managed to get 18 points in 10 Premier League home matches. The condition of the Chelsea team is now unstable. As a result, they also failed to take advantage of home matches. Not only are Chelsea's players out of form, their overall match strategy is also poor. In such circumstances, I think it is unlikely that Chelsea will win the second leg against Dortmund by a margin of 2-0. Because the Dortmund team is not weak. They are strong and experienced enough this season. And now their performance is stable. So I would say the second leg will be a draw. And Dortmund will qualify for the next round.

I don't deny that Chelsea are bad in the Premier League, but when I saw their performance in the first leg of the Champions League when they narrowly lost to Borussia Dortmund, I gave them more confidence. I think it was a different look from the Chelsea I usually see. One thing they have to fix is to try to play as effectively as possible so they don't waste too many chances in the second leg match later. Chelsea still have high hopes and it is true that homecoming in the second leg will give them an advantage.

Chelsea's performance in the first leg against Dortmund was not bad. They played very well. And they were able to create many good attacks and scoring chances. But due to the mistakes of the forward players, no goal can be scored. Also the performance of Dortmund's defenders was outstanding. And if Dortmund can maintain that performance in the second leg, I don't see Chelsea winning the match. Because Chelsea's attack is weak. Although the coach can solve the internal problems of the team, he needs an experienced striker to strengthen the attack.

Real Madrid become an underdog? are you kidding when you say that? I am a Liverpool supporter, but I have to be realistic when assessing the 2 teams that will compete. Yes, I expected a lot to see Liverpool win this match, but again, when I see my current team, it is a separate doubt for me to see Liverpool in this match. I only hope that Jurgen Klopp can come up with a surprise strategy that can bring Liverpool to the best results at the end of the match.

you are right Chelsea players played very well against Dortmund compared to the last matches. There has been a change in their match strategy. And the overall performance of the players was good. But they could not score any goals. Because the Dortmund team is very strong now. Dortmund's attack and defense are very strong. If Chelsea is to win the second leg and qualify for the quarter-finals, their forwards will need to perform well.

It's difficult for me to believe Chelsea will score goals in the second leg. Chelsea's biggest problems is creating chances and scoring goals. They have not scored more than 1 goal in a match the whole of this year. Dortmund on the other hand is a team that know how to score goals.
If Chelsea can stop Dortmund from scoring and they themselves are able to score two goals then they can qualify, but I highly doubt that. I believe Dortmund will win the second leg too.

Real Madrid is pretty much in the Champions League, but I don't see much chance of Real Madrid winning the title. Real Madrid is considered as the best team in La Liga. There are many big teams in the Champions League who have fought each other to the max.
