UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

I don't know what Pep Guardiola really had in mind in this match, because he didn't make a single substitution to refresh strategy or anything. I understand maybe this is a form of his trust in the players who are on the field. But if that doesn't make any difference and they are stuck I think here Pep has to make substitutions to give them refreshments and hope that the players who come in will be able to be a solution when Manchester City are struggling.

You will make substitutions when you have high hopes in the bench but when you come in with your available best there will not be need for substitution because substitution is to make better changes and impact in the game and not to perform worse. The problem of Manchester City in that match was the midfield. Since Kevin de bruyne was not in the midfield everything was not connecting.

The coach of Manchester City should find a way to get another plan to play Manchester City without KDB in the midfield, that is the only way the club can succeed in hard times like yesterday

[BITCOIN4X]

Leipzig success in holding Manchester City to a draw is proof that their club really has the motivation not to be daunted by Manchester City's achievements. From these results, it is certain that leg 2 will be a mature consideration for Leipzig. At least they are very careful even though it is difficult to beat Manchester City at home later. Pep Guardiola said they were disappointed with this result because they saw that their players were not very effective in attack. Haaland also did not perform optimally in that match. The absence of Kevin De Bruyne has had a major impact on Manchester City's attack sector. Mahrez needs the right ball supply and that has to be Kevin De Bruyne.

I think we just think Leipzig is too strong for Manchester City, but Manchester City's dominance in the match seems to be forgotten. Manchester City were just very unlucky at Leipzig home yesterday, and actually they deserved more to win the match than draw. Leipzig relied solely on defending, counter-attacking and set pieces to create goal opportunities, while they rarely seem to build good attack because Manchester City have been so good.

But there is one thing that is not interesting is, Haaland runs too much without the ball and he just runs waiting for the pass and get into good positions. This strategy may not always work in Haaland's favour, but he is a really good centre-forward at Manchester City.

Manchester City did not play badly in the first half, but they conceded in the second half. Leipzig defended well and did not concede many goals, which is a success for them. I won't be surprised if we see a surprise result in the second match. Everyone thinks that Manchester City will easily win their home game, but if Leipzig has a good strategy, they can win the game

Manchester City are just being unlucky this season, because they have not been playing badly, they hardly score goals this period, having a goal scoring machine like Halland, but don't really know what the problem is with this Manchester City side at the moment. But Manchester City will definitely win the second leg, I don't think Leipzig will give Manchester City tough time, because Manchester City will be playing at home and that will be a big Advantage to the City side.

The problem with Manchester City is the midfield, there is no perfect replacement for Kevin de bruyne and this is always a problem whenever he does not feature for Manchester City because it is only Kevin that connects Haaland effectively. So if Kevin is not in the pitch there will not be correct linkage between the midfield and attack, that is the only problem of Manchester City. So I was not surprised to see them draw with Leipzig. I believe effectively that in the returning match Manchester City will come back very well and qualify for the next round

This simply calls for the signature of James Madison from Leicester City, I'm nkt about to say that Kelvin has been bad but the game before World Cup against Brentford, did he put up a good show ? No, did he during the world cup no too, he had his decision makings wrong during the world cup. He was not even injured but I'll, so what happens if he is Injured for six weeks ? Manchester City would crumble ? I wonder why sign Jack Grealish for so much.

I'm pleased with Leicester City because that was my prediction secretly. They have done well regardless, they remain the only Premier League side not to have lost in this round.

This 1-1 draw made the game in the second leg even more exciting, Leipzig will play more enthusiastically to get a place in the quarterfinals. On paper, Manchester City has everything superior to Leipzig, but who can guess the results of the match correctly.

Nobody can can guess the result of the coming match correctly , only with luck.
And yes i guess we will see in the next game between Manchester City and Leipzig other teams as we have seen days ago.
I think that Leipzig will be try to play straight forward in City and that they will play very agressiv , its also possible that we maybe we will see a penaltie shoot.

I don't think Leipzig stand any chance of playing a draw in Etihad such that the outcome will  lead to penalty shoot out, Guordiola will do everything possible to win the second leg, had Leipzig won yesterday's match with a goal or two goals margin it would have been a difficult for Man City to overturn the goals deficit, however as stand now Man City chances to qualify for the quarterfinals is more brighter than Leipzig, infact Man City won't give any room for complacency in the second leg because UCL trophy had been elusive to club for a long time, it's trophy that Guordiola had put in every effort to win it for the club but unsuccessful.

[Woodie]

Manchester City couldn't stick to the plan very well last night honestly. They should have done much better than this.Especially the second half was very bad for Manchester City.

This was not the first time Manchester city has buried their heads in the sand and gone to sleep... If you watched the Nottingham game in the EPL the did the very same thing switching off in the second half allowing their opponents to comeback for an equalizer, with such inconsistencies in performance this could be a sign something is wrong or they got the news of what's to happen with their cases in England which has negatively affected them.

I still think Manchester City will win comfortably in Etihad and finish the job though.

If they come focused on the, City should carry the day easily!

Talking of Manchester, we are a few minutes of a return leg for the Red devils as they seek to finish what the started against Barca and this wont be an easy one but I fancy them winning tonight...maybe with a 2-1 scoreline.

[Falconer]

The game is still open even though Manchester City are the favorites to go through but Leipzig could pull off surprises. Luckily for them the away goal advantage in longer used. They could just sit comfortably and maybe have to counter Manchester city when the opportunities arrived. City look shaky on counter yesterday which clearly shows that without Debruyne they suffer to create clear cut chances. How city will perform in the second leg will greatly be influenced by Debruyne. I expect a Leipzig passage to the last eights should he not be available

Many people have no doubts about Manchester City's chances in the second leg, myself included.
I think that's normal because the quality of Manchester City is much better and also they will be playing at home. Manchester City's good chance will not be wasted and Leipzig may have to face the fact that they will fall short. Even so, Leipzig also have the same chance because previously it was a draw, and it will definitely be interesting to see who will qualify.

If it is Manchester City about England I have no doubts. It is other clubs in England that are in danger such as Chelsea who will find it difficult to defeat Dortmund in the second half. Another problem is Tottenham which is not doing well currently and then Liverpool who I consider already out of the tournament.

[CLS63]

I really appreciate Leipzig's high effort in the second half of this match. Having this many opportunities against literally the biggest favourite of the title isn't easy for Leipzig actually. But in the second half there was a big opportunity ahead for Leipzig. Because interestingly Manchester City started to show some weaknesses in defense. They gave many more chances to their opponent that it should have been.

This resulted in an unwanted result for Manchester City side maybe. But I think they aren't very unhappy with this result anyway. Because they must be confident about themselves to beat them in the second leg much easier. I don't expect surprises in Etihad.

[BitcoinAccepted]

That was really enjoying the game Liverpool - Real Madrid 2 days ago. Didn't have the opportunity to comment on it earlier. But who would have thought when Liverpool quickly took a 2-0 lead? You have to come from a really high level to score 5 goals in a row at Anfield Road. This Real Madrid is a team that could just win the CL again. They have shown how good they are in important games at crucial moments, often last season with Benzema out of hopeless positions. City was very very disappointing. And no substitutes

Even though wild possibilities can still occur, with the condition Liverpool are currently playing at Barnebeu and having to chase an aggregate of 3 goals this will obviously be very difficult to do.
They are like dead now because regardless of their condition it is really very difficult to get up even if you see their performance in the first leg in the first round was very good in the early minutes but that is not a guarantee because Madrid is still Madrid.

Leipzig is quite smart. They realized in the second half Manchester City weren't doing well and they immediately changed a few players to make them even hotter and with new energy. The result is obviously very good for them even though it's only a draw, but this can be a good capital it's just that in the second half Manchester City really didn't seem serious especially not to change players for 90 minutes this match was really funny. This may not even be seen from other teams.

[emrecemsan]

Inter were worse than I expected against Porto. The main problem was related to finding the target for them. They had so many goal attempts during the match but only 4 of them were on target. While Inter have very capable attackers in their squad this shouldn't be a problem for them normally. The player to save the team was even Lukaku who was out-of-form actually. This was an opportunity for him to prove himself again to the team of course and this would be an extra credit for his profile.

But Inter will need to do better than this in the rematch. Porto are a quite durable team right now. If they got ahead first in the second leg then I don't think this match would end in 90 minutes.

[Ryu_Ar1]

A very well composed Multi should be destroyed at the hands of Manchester City. They didn't do well in this second half.
What's funnier is when their game doesn't improve but Pep still maintains his starting composition and doesn't make any improvements there. I think even though the second leg will be at the Etihad later, this draw clearly makes them actually not well.

I did a multi bet today too and I included a double chance for City - I knew they were a shady team and they could fail away because they are confident that they will be able to decide the issue in their favor at home. And by the way, I also bet on Inter, I think you have to admit that Inter went over the edge today and their victory is like luck. In general, Inter disappointed me more than City.

Even though the belief still exists for Manchester City, this bet hurts a little, even though their chances of securing the first leg are very large.
Talking about Inter, I'm actually a bit skeptical, but indeed luck with the red card can be maximized well, but with this condition, I think it's a good lesson because this can be a reminder for me for Leg 2 later.

Seriously the match was kind of surprising to me, I don't really know what happened to Liverpool players, Liverpool scored two goals in less than 15 minutes of the match, I don't know why they should allow Real Madrid score 5 goals, I don't really expect something like that to happen to Liverpool, they are not a small club, Real Madrid winning them with 5 goals is really shameful, how will they be so foolish to allow Real Madrid to score 5 goals, immediately Liverpool scored the second goal, most people believed that they will win the match, but Liverpool disappointed most people.

The reason why Chelsea couldn't beat Dortmund is clear to me they are not even at the top of the table and racing with other teams while people think their coach is guilty of this bad performance from this team and he is very much close to getting fired because this performance they have shown so far while Dortmund is getting close to become the champion of Bundesliga and racing with Bayern Munich this season also they are much more motivated compared to Chelsea.

In the first half, Leipzig played quite successfully in the bus and the fact that they conceded a goal does not mean anything - it could have not happened, and I would say that Leipzig showed a good game in defense. In the second half, they were able to beat City in attack as well. Against this background, there is no certainty that City will win the second game - what if this time the bus will work and Leipzig will be able to score a goal on the counterattack? Will the City then be able to open them after that?

Manchester City were the strong favorites to win this tournament, along with PSG and Bayern Munich. But how different are the cards now? Yesterday it went well in the 1nd half, but with a score of only 0-1, that is a dangerous position. If you add up all the chances and also take the game image into account, 1-1 is still okay. But in the 2nd half, Leipzig deserved more, but was very sloppy with the chances. It could also have been 3-1 for Leipzig. I'm curious about the return in England, but I still expect Leipzig to be eliminated.

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.

That is why playing beautifully with higher ball possession will not be worth if they cannot utilize and optimize the chance to make goals more than the opponent and resulting in a drawn match. Because whatever the match, the point is to win and make a victory to be able to continue to the next round. That really agrees with me. I agree with you that Man City really missed many chances and couldn't utilize their moment to make more goals. that was very dispatching.

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,

Indeed, I am sure that Man City has learned many things in this first leg. They need something more special and stronger when they are playing at home later. They need to optimize every chance that they can make it optimally. No choice, they must win the next match by making more goals.

[SirLancelot]

I can see one way or another Chelsea or Spurs ending up win a win and going to next stage, which I think Chelsea won't be able to do because they are too bad, but maybe there is a slight chance that Spurs could, which is still a small chance but they will play at home so they might.

But, I can't see Liverpool somehow managing to beat Real with 3 goal difference, that's not going to happen, that's one matchup we can close the book on from the first game, it was 5-2 and that's just way too much to end up having any type of issues and I believe that we will not end up with anything that is shocking about that game, it will be a boring game with nothing changing from first game at all.
