UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[bekti3]

I expect a clear victory by Manchester City tonight. I don't think Leipzig have the strength to resist them much now. I'm aware of how good Leipzig have been in the Bundesliga. And they have done quite a good job in the Champions League as well. They defeated Real Madrid home in a group match. However I think this is the end for them. Besides Real Madrid wouldn't lose that match to them easily if it was a much more important match for them.

Leipzig will come across one of the biggest challenges in the Champions League and fail most probably. A victory by two goals for Manchester City seems nice to me.

The kick off starts now even though they are currently playing away but I have no doubts about Manchester City especially with the current conditions.
Kevin De Bruyne was unable to play in this game but this did not weaken Manchester City and now the minutes went by it looked like Manchester City wanted to create conditions where they had to save more balls.

The absence of Kevin De Bruyne will certainly reduce creativity in the midfield, because the brain of Manchester City's game lies with the Belgian player. But of course Pep Guardiola has prepared an alternative to cover the hole left by KDB and it is clear that the scheme that will be played will be slightly different.

Manchester City are indeed very favored in tonight's match, but of course Leipzig will not just give up, they will definitely take advantage of all situations to win in the first leg which takes place at their own turf.

Great victory for Real Madrid. This team cannot be stopped. They might win another edition of the UEFA Champions League.
Trent Alexander Arnold was horrible at defending his zone and almost all attacks by Real were there.
David Alaba was also bad at defense, but his injury and the replacement by Nacho stabilized Real's defense and had a tremendous impact over the game. Vinicius Jr. and Benzema are unstoppable in attack. Valverde also did a great job.
What surprised me is Thibaut Courtois making mistakes. This isn't normal for him. Anyway, great game with lots of goals. It was real pleasure for the football fans to watch.

First half I didn't have much hope for Madrid after they lost 2-0 until the twentieth minute. I think Liverpool will again add a lot of more goals. But it turns out that I was wrong Real Madrid is amazing. They can turn things around. The three-goal gap is quite large at the moment Madrid have put one foot in the next phase. Even this result is beyond my prediction, because Madrid have been in trouble in the last few games. So this three-goal difference makes me very happy because I'm playing madrid.

Real Madrid had a big win last night, I can certainly give them the title of Champions league giants with these performance and other outstanding performances in the recent years, though Liverpool started well but were very poor defensively to concede 5 goals and throwing away a 2 goal lead. I’m disappointed at Liverpool’s performance, they had a good game in the English premier league, I thought they would bring that energy to the champions league. Now it is even more difficult to win after the second leg with aggregate.

Real Madrid is indeed able to show extraordinary mentality. Ancelotti's team is one of the teams that often wins comebacks after previously falling behind in the Champions League match. So with a victory with a fairly landslide score, it is very likely that Madird has locked a ticket to the quarter-finals. Then for Liverpool, their era can be said to be over.

The surprising thing about the Real Madrid team is, how they manage to stay calm even in the face of impending danger, it amazes me! Ancelotti too shows little reactions to this. His always as calm as ever and have great believe in his team. From 2 goals down to another stronge side like Liverpool, to scoring 5 goals without any response from Liverpool and beating them in a 2:5 goals Real Madrid win. Its something only Real Madrid can do and not just for a time but, over and over again.
Klopp is sure to have learnt a thing or two from yesterday's disappointment. This tells how his team has deteriorated!

That is a really good point. We have witnessed it so many times now. As you have said, they stay calm in these situations and even in the away games. That is one of the great things about Real Madrid. And I think they manage to do this with their key veteran players like Modric and Benzema. Modric plays extraordinarily good, even in the old age. He must be one of the few players every team and every coach in the world would want on their team. The presence of Modric in the midfield gives a lot of confidence to Real. He is extremely clever, very technical. There is not one wasted pass in the match by him. He literally almost played perfectly.

Manchester City led by 1 goal after scoring from a passing mistake made at the back of RB Leipzig. Manchester City took control of the game by continuing to press in the half. With this goal, it should have made RB Leipzig bolder to attack, because if they continue to hold back in deep defense, it will be more difficult for them to equalize by relying solely on counterattacks. But with a risk because by attacking definitely a gap in the defense line will open.

Is just 20mins into the game and Manchester City are already leading by a goal difference courtesy of rihad mahrez. I knew Manchester City are going to win this game because Leipzig are a little inexperience when it come to playing in the champions league and they don't stand a chance against this high attacking Manchester City side. I think haaland is still going to input his name in today's score sheet. Leipzig can only try and stop more goals from coming because with current tempo of the match they are definitely more goals coming from both sides.

Leipzig looked different in this match they did nothing in 45 minutes just look at the statistics, it's clear that Macnhesyer City dominates from all sides
as the home team Leipzig should take advantage of this moment to get points because in the 2nd leg they won't be able to do much City must have done the same
In another match between Inter and Porto it seems that there has been no change in the score both teams played more carefully.

the game was quite interesting for Manchester City in the first leg because playing at the Leipzig headquarters Manchester City was able to control well the course of the match where Pep Guardiola foster children were able to record 75% possession statistics in the first half and Mahrez opened the scoring for Manchester City in the 27th minute.

strangely for Leipzig they haven't managed a single attempted attack for Manchester City in the first half. I think there will be a lot of goals in this match that will occur in the second half if the game from Leipzig is more enduring in the second half later. Haaland had several chances in the first half but he didn't finish well.

Seeing Vini with the number 20 on his back reminds me a lot of Higuain. El Pipa really liked to make that play: he dribbles the goalkeeper and goes inside. Vini is faster and it doesn't work out for him.Like Higuaín, Vini misses a lot of chances, with the difference that Pipa did much better with that move, he almost always scored it and all the Real Madrid fans were happy.
The problem is that he failed in the most important games, like against Lyon in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

You watch Real Madrid in the UCL, you would find a different Real Madrid in the Laliga and you would ask yourself,  what's the difference?
At the very least, it is the same team and the clubs in the UCL are top teams compared to teams in the Laliga but, the level of competition Real Madrid puts in the UCL is top class. 5 goals, I so didn't expect that. Goalkeeper errors on both ends that resulted in goals, that some karma in the game and after Vini Jnr had his brace, I was looking out for Karim Benzema and he came through with a brace too. Benzema is such a charismatic player and his surly leading the Real Madrid team to greater heights.

The first half for two matches in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 has come to an end.
with a score of 0-1 for the RB Leipzig vs Man City match (Man City's advantage) and 0-0 for the Inter Milan vs Porto match.

Inter Milan played quite well. but still in the first round not seen high aggressiveness. so the game seems a little boring. But for Man city he continues to control the game. However, not many good chances were created in the first half. I hope the second half of the match will be more interesting.

[armanda90]

Half time

• Inter Milan 0 vs 0 FC Porto
• RB Leipzig 0 vs 1 Manchester City

Seems boring match this time about two matches result awhile on first time because only Manchester City scored one goal, difference with last night where have excited match between Liverpool vs Real Madrid have four goals in first half with score 2-2. FC Porto and RB Leipzig looks try with playing defensive and make attacking when have opportunity, lest waiting with second half for both matches will any goals added although I am not excited for watching on second half.

It's half-time and the game is still 0-1 in favor of Manchester City. Leipzig is showing no sign of equalizing this goal because they just had one goal on target and they don't have a any control over the game. Manchester City are playing as if they are in Etihad, having 74% ball possession and have 7 shots and 2 on target. I expect Liepzig coach Marco Rose to come out with a winning strategy in the second half to atleast get a draw from this match because they might not stand any chance of winning the away match in England. They should use the counter attack but much attention should also be placed on the defense because Manchester City has a very dangerous attack.

[emrecemsan]

I have heard that Guardiola made an interesting statement. He said that people might still find him unsuccessful even if Manchester City make it to the Champions League title this season. I don't agree with this opinion to tell the truth. Because right now the missing piece of the puzzle is the Champions League title for Manchester City. The championships in the English Premier League must have already made the fans very happy. Even if they fail in winning that title again but winning the Champions League title only should be enough to make the fans happy.

Leipzig isn't a big obstacle and they would surely get past this easily. But they need to be better in big matchups from now on. If we see another Real Madrid matchup it would be pretty interesting.

[BIT-BENDER]

Every English team is having it very hard the knockout round of the UEFA champions league. All three of Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all lost their matches and Liverpool lost theirs in a very embarrassing fashion.

Manchester city is currently salvaging the day for English team as they are up by one goal in their match and hopefully they can come out with a victory.

Turns out I wasn't the only one feeling bored with both matches today. looks like you feel the same way. the game tempo of both matches today was really slow. not many high-aggressive attacks occur. different from yesterday's match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool. even the Napoli vs Frankfurt match was a little interesting.

but let's see in the second half that just started. maybe there will be changes in the second half. but as long as the team I support wins then it doesn't matter.

Madrid were extraordinary no doubt but Liverpool were awful. The two goals they scored just happened. The started the game well and all of a sudden they fell apart. Immediately Madrid scored I knew they would win because they kept pressing Liverpool. Liverpool were just awful especially after Madrid equalized. Madrid would still win the second leg in Spain.
Klopp should just leave Liverpool. That team needs something different. There is nothing more Klopp can do right now for that team.

That's because Manchester City have not found a worthy opponent so just wait for when they face a stronger team like PSG, Madrid or Napoli
From season to season Manchester City has always been able to reach the semi-finals or even  final unfortunately it always ends in defeat
Do you think Manchester City have a bigger chance this season especially after the arrival of Haaland?

[BRINIRHA]

RB leipzig seems to implement a new strategy for the second half. they became more aggressive in building attacks. and this thinking is quite effective. and the match got very interesting in the second half. I hope Man City will also increase their aggressiveness and return to building a pretty good attack like in the first half. RB Leipzig was several times able to build attacks that were quite dangerous to Man City's goal.
