UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Marykeller]

• Inter Milan 0 vs 0 FC Porto

Porto now playing with ten men as Otavio has been sent off after picking up the second yellow card. Inter Milan's attacking threat increased with Lukaku coming off the bench for Dzeko, and now with the advantage of having an extra man on the field, the game is within the reach of them winning it, while Porto will be on their toes with the time left to play hoping that this game can end in draw at least after just conceding now.

Porto had a very good chance to score but the keeper for Inter Milan Onana was the difference, his reaction was very good and was able to make two consecutive saves to keep the ball out.

Lukaku scores finally for Inter Milan after Martinez could not connect with the ball he played in earlier on for him. An important goal for Inter Milan to give them the advantage.

Game is now 1-0 in favour of Milan.

The encounter between Inter and Porto wasn't as fascinating to me. Both sides performed miserably, which left me wondering how such terrible play could be coming from professionals.

Inter and Porto didn't put on a very strong first-half display. They both shot the ball up and down without any coordination to score, which made me decide not to watch the second half.

A goal victory for Inter is a good one but they ought to perform better than this in their return leg match against Porto if they need to win

The start of the round of 16 which in my opinion is a bit strange, because no English representative has won in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League this season:

Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea 1-0
AC Milan vs Tottenham 1-0
Liverpool vs Real Madrid 2-5.
RB Leipzig vs Manchester City 1-1

but the draw in the first leg still has a chance in the second leg, unless Liverpool is just a miracle for Liverpool to be able to turn things around in the second leg at home to Real Madrid.

So City is the only team to get a draw in the first leg between EPL teams
Basically City has the advantage of playing home next time while Liverpool chances are tiny since they will play away with a minus 3 goals to return to the point zero..
Chelsea and Spurs will have home games that won't be easy since they are 1 goal behind them.

[Freeveto]

What a game between Manchester city and liepzig, I'm really enjoying it because both teams played very well and crrated many goal attempts, man city dominated the first half but liepzig started the second half with high pressure on city defence and was able to score the equalizer

Underrate Leipzig at your own risk, Leipzig is not a soft nut to crack. You have to play them with all seriousness or watch them do wonders to you, I wasn’t surprise seeing their performances in that game especially in the second half of the game. The attacking spirit and determination to resist defeat was something great. I love their team spirit.

All other england teams except Liverpool have a decent chance to turn it around and pass into the next stage. The best chances Man City has ,but the worst  Liverpool by far and to me they are out of this tournament for sure,it would take a miracle for them to pass into the next stage.

Looks like Premier League clubs are facing with risk of disappearance after the Round of 16 in Champions League. It's not the end for them but risk is here and at least Liverpool almost already said goodbye. Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City will play at homes so they can go next if they can take advantage of home stadiums.

Man City seems like having good pressure at the beginning and they could manage the ball possession and attacks much better than Leipzig. However after Mahrez could make a goal in the 27 minutes. This really made many people optimize so much that Man City would be able to win the match. But after waiting for a long time, their performance seems too boring and did not really give high pressure again. They did more mistakes and couldn't optimize the chances, they missed the chances. However, Leipzig also strengthened their defense much better. man City seems like having some trouble attacking Leipzig's defenses. Well, although this first-leg match result was quite disappointing, at least, they still have second chances in the second leg.

Manchester City controlled ball and the match very well but they wasted too many opportunities. It seems Haaland is not able to help Manchester City a lot in Champions League but I also consider about his decreasing performance in Premier League since World Cup 2022 and his injury.

A draw in the first leg is not the end of the world and the end of Manchester City adventure in Champions League. They still have the second leg at their home, Etihad and they can beat Leipzig there. However with performance of Leipzig in the first leg, Manchester City will not easily beat them after all. They are stronger can win the German club but their players must be careful as Leipzig can score goals any time like they did in the first leg.

It's very disappointing to see manchester city was not unable to win against leipzig. I think that if it's not a problem for city since 1-1 is good enough considering city was playing at red bull arena. The different result will be happening when leipzig must have played in the etihad stadium. I think that real performance of city will be happening when city played at home. The draw was giving city so many advantages over leipzig.

So far city was not also playing bad at red bull arena. City has been more dominating the ball possessions but it was not lucky enough. Both of teams are equal but we don't know how strong city to play in the etihad stadium.

As far as i know that city is always having a good record played in etihad.

Looking at this match, it appears that Manchester City is the most bet.  But how did a strong team like Manchester City draw this game.  Counter-attacking team RB Leipzig did not have much of an attack but succeeded in only a few of those. RB Leipzig didn't attack before half time but Manchester City had more of the ball from the start and attacked more but could not succeed. Towards the end of the match, the match was tied at 1-1 goal. The fans never expected such a performance for Manchester City and many who bet, like me, faced losses.

but the draw in the first leg still has a chance in the second leg, unless Liverpool is just a miracle for Liverpool to be able to turn things around in the second leg at home to Real Madrid.

Even though Chelsea and Tottenham lost in the first leg they still have a chance because their second leg will play in public itself so they have more motivation, only Chelsea is still in doubt because they haven't shown anything good so far, Tottenham with all their inconsistencies still has a chance because they only conceded 1 goal, so did City but for Liverpool it's just a miracle like you said and that miracle requires hard work to make four goals without conceding at Real Madrid home and that's like a dream that is difficult to come true.
However, if these four clubs fail to reach the quarterfinals, it will be very disappointing for EPL fans.

[rendravolt]

Manchester City became the fourth team from England to fail to win in the round of 16 against Leipzig last night. We know previously that there were Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool who also failed to win in this round. This result made me quite surprised that throughout the match Manchester City rarely got chances and they only scored goals through passing errors from opposing defenders, while Leipzig actually played quite well by scoring goals from a corner kick and being greeted by a header from Gvardiol. The result was a draw until the last minute and now the two teams have to fight again to get the aggregate points.

Pep Guardiola for 90 minutes also didn't make any substitutions, that's actually very unfortunate considering there should have been a refresher on the players so they could change the direction of the game more. Pep Guardiola and his players must rise at the Etihad Stadium later in the second leg so they can qualify for the quarter-finals.

Leipzig cannot be underestimated even though they are not the favorite team in the Bundesliga. but what it's shown to contain Haaland and the others is pretty good. I'm sure many will accept defeat in betting on this match.
but the question is, why did City play the full match until the end of the match without substitutions? after they conceded in the 70th minute, at least there was still time to freshen up some composure to get the winning goal in the remaining time. there may be other considerations from the coach.

What is the point of not substituting when you need to win? At times, Pep's team gambled too much and failed to score a winning goal because it lacked urgency, lazy back passes, and sustained offensive effort. Their current style of play irritates me. It was the same style of play that led them to draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. With that play, Pep, you cannot win a Champions League. In the second leg, Pep needs to be serious.

After the first half, I predicted that RB Leipzig would strengthen their attacks and focus on the counter-attack which they did. A draw is a very good result for the Geman side because they now have the opportunity to play with the hope of qualifying for the next round. Manchester City will be playing under pressure in Etihad because they wouldn't want to make any mistakes.

I heard a rumor that Inter Milan is considering sending Romelu Lukaku back to Chelsea because his wage bill and his performance are not commensurate. It seems the Belgian striker is proving them wrong. He has given Inter a huge advantage and I know the club management will be having a rethink.

It seems the German teams are performing far better than the English teams in this year's Champions League. The EPL teams might all be knocked out of this prestigious competition if they fail to improve in their next games.

A draw against Manchester City is not that bad i guess and its a good chance for them in City , but there it will be really hard to get something out there.
I just have seen the review from the game and it looks like that Haaland hasnt got his best day on this game.
Leipzig has played very well and got a few more chances in the second halftime.

Based on this game, I already said that the game between Manchester City and Leipzig will not be very easy. We enjoyed a really amazing game. Leipzig although a much weaker team than Manchester City today but their game was very enjoyable. Manchester City was very aggressive in the first half, but Leipzig shined in the second half. This match eventually turned into a draw in a hard-fought battle between the two teams. Manchester City and Leipzig result 1-1. All we can say regardless was a fantastic match that we enjoyed.

RB leipzig deserves to be appreciated. because they can come up with a different strategy for the second half. They adapted to the pattern of play shown by Manchester City in the first half. and the pattern of attack built in the second half by RB leipzig was outstanding and it worked to be an equaliser. And I think the Manchester City players in the second half looked tired too. what I saw was that there were no substitutions at Manchester city in that match. or maybe i missed it?

Manchester City controlled the game, but that did not allow them to win the match even though they had taken the lead in the first half. Entering the second half, Leipzig were bolder in going out to attack after in the first half they implemented a defense that was so deep, almost all of Leipzig's players were in their own defense area. I thought in the second half there might be an extra goal from Manchester City, but it was Leipzig who could score that goal. I failed to win when I bet this match.

Liverpool's chance is almost zero. Madrid was able making a crazy comeback when it played on anfield. The same thing gonna happen once madrid will be playing at home. This will be a very difficult situation for liverpool even though klopp may be motivated its players to win against madrid but it seems like that madrid was in the differnet level compared with liverpool. Anyone will be betting on madrid. Liverpool had no chance to win against madrid in the second leg. Klopp must accept its team must be stopped in santiago bernabeu

[bekti3]

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.

And it really happened, their condition in the first half was actually very good and with the advantage they scored very well in the first half, but disaster happened in the second half. After Leipzig started to make some changes, especially in the second half by including several forward players like Nkunku, Manchester City were really under pressure. On the other hand they also didn't make any real changes and seemed like they didn't intend to play in the second half which made it even more difficult for Manchester City.

I had already knew that the game would be difficult for Manchester city as Debruyne wasn’t in the line up. Manchester City players didn’t play Haaland at all, even when he makes timed runs they decided to play the ball backwards and rebuild and that's very unfair of them which will cost the team. No speed no urgency, lazy back passes, no serious sustained attack, who will tell Pep to be making changes early. At this rate any silverware will be a tall order. Poor play.

I can see Leipzig were performing better in the second half that they got several attempts to scores goals and it makes Leipzig can equalized the score but Leipzig missed the opportunities to win the match at home and this result was extremely unfavorable for them because for second leg they will playing away at Manchester City home and this would be hard match for them
And for Manchester City this result indeed not too satisfied because before the match most people including me predict they will overcomes Leipzig but at least they didn't lose from this match and for second leg i am sure Manchester City will performing better and win the match

With complete backup information and strategies, Liverpool is completely out. In the Champions League, they are no match for the Los Blancos; they consistently lose to Real Madrid. There won't be any miracles; this is football, not some sort of place of worship where people pray for problems to be solved, and the best club that plays with smart strategy wins. Remember that Real Madrid is not Barcelona, who are more easily weaker during comebacks, so trying to make a comeback against them is impossible. Huge surprise to see how poorly English clubs have performed in the Champions League. It's terrible that in the round of 16 of the Champions League, no English club won their first leg. These are the game results for the first leg of of the round of 16 for english clubs.
Dortmund 1-0 Chelsea
AC Milan. 1-0 Tottenham
Liverpool 2-5 Real Madrid
RB Leipzig 1-1 Man City
