UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[SquallLeonhart]

Liverpool lost against Bournemouth 1-0 do you think they will be able to score 4 goals against Real Madrid? They are 1 of the worst teams left in the competition and I hate that every one treats them like they are the team to beat and the come back kings because they are not. They are not the team they were 2 years ago and without Salah they would not be in the Champions League. Salah is getting older and Liverpool are going to miss him because he is already declining in ability.

By that logic they scored 7 against United, why would it be tough for them to score 4 against Real Madrid? I am not saying they will, of course they most probably won't, that would be as unlikely as it gets and I doubt that it could happen. However, this was the team that lost 3-0 to Barcelona and even while being without peak salah, they still won 4-0 against them on second game.

Once again, I am not saying it will happen, all I am saying is that if we keep looking at just one game and decide, we will not get the right answer, you can look at a game where they played bad and think they won't, I will take a look at a game they played well and think they will. I think they won't not because of Bournemouth, but because they have been bad all season.

The second leg match that I think is quite interesting is Porto vs Inter. We know that in the domestic league, Inter often experience inconsistencies to win and they often find it difficult to break down the need to score goals. Meanwhile, Porto in the domestic league has performed quite well so far, but the problem is that in the second leg against Inter they (Porto) will not be strengthened by one of Otavio's key players after receiving a red card in the first leg. However, as the host, Porto certainly has more motivation to surpass the aggregate points and at this time, even though Inter are superior, 1 point on aggregate is not enough to make them safe in the match later.

I can't get your logic man, you were not even mentioning how liverpool could not even make a single goal against bournmouth. The chance for liverpool must be always 50:50. Madrid was not barcelona when it comes to the UCL.
Madrid is having 14 UCL trophies. People were also calling king of UCL. That's why madrid is even tougher compared with barcelona.

The draw has made Real Madrid qualify for the quarter-finals so just defending is already making it difficult for Liverpool, after all I believe Real Madrid will not play defensively but play attacking to increase the aggregate score, Liverpool's defeat to a bottom club yesterday makes me believe Liverpool is not in the right performance really good. i will bet on real madrid and waiting for this game  

Changing the strategy will be very bad for real madrid. Liverpool will able to give so much pressure and this will also make madrid's defenders feel panic. Real madrid can push it even stronger than the first leg. King of ucl will not able to be beaten easily in santiago bernabeu.

Initially I had high hopes for Liverpool after they surprised me by beating MU 7-0. but after seeing the match against Bournemouth I really don't understand what happened to Liverpool. their ups and downs of consistency are really quite severe. so that in the match against Real Madrid it seemed that Liverpool had no hope anymore. but let's just see if they will get a miracle and luck like the match against MU or instead suffer a worse defeat than in the first leg.

I'm not surprised of Liverpool performance after their previous game with Manchester United,  Liverpool has always been this way this season.  There are some previous game that their performance was good but they couldn't maintain the performance later on. Liverpool are good sometimes and poor in performance sometimes too. I'm not convinced if Liverpool can win Real Madrid.

I don't think that logic like that will work. then how about saying they scored 7 goals at Manchester United but failed to win against Bournemouth which can be said to be mediocre for a club of their class.
I think the condition of one big win match doesn't mean everything will be the same because indeed with things like that it's clearly a little complicated when talking about comparisons.
Liverpool's current condition is enough to make me not confident in what they will do because regardless of anything it is very difficult when they are left behind with a large enough aggregate.

which makes it very difficult for Liverpool to win and qualify for the next round of the Champions League because they will play at home to Madrid.
Liverpool's best chance this time if they manage to make their best game is a narrow victory with a 1-goal difference. or even just can play a draw.
but seeing the current situation, there is no reason not to play attacking from the early minutes. no matter how much you lose, the result will be the same. Liverpool can only fight to score as many goals as they can.

Liverpool have close to zero chance of getting into the 1/4 finals. We were 3-0 down against Barca from the 1st leg in 2019 and won the 2nd leg 4-0 to get to the final which we then went on to win. There are two differences now though, one is that the current team is nowhere near as good as the 2019 team, number two is that we are away in the second leg this time.

Basically what I’m saying is don’t waste money on betting Liverpool to qualify, it is not going to happen sadly.
The best odds/bet for me in the CL this season to win it is Napoli. They are a serious dark horse.

Yeah 3 goals difference is really a hard task for Liverpool, maybe betting on over or below option is profitable since Liverpool will try to score many goals and it will make Real Madrid score many goals in order to prevent from Liverpool can beat them. Real Madrid isn't a club which want to play in defense position, so the match should be a lot of goals. Napoli is a dark horse, but they seems doesn't have a good mentality.

It looks like we are getting close to the end of the road for Leipzig and Frankfurt. It is over for Frankfurt already after Napoli got that 2-0 win. Napoli didn't let their opponent become a problem for themselves. Actually Frankfurt were one of the surprising teams and they had potential to make more surprises in the tournament as well. But their performance wasn't good enough to get a win. I don't think they can do more in the second leg in Italy.

On paper, Napoli will not experience significant problems when hosting Frankfurt in the second leg later. moreover, the match will be held at Napoli headquarters. in theory, Napoli would win the game easily. because, previously Napoli toppled Frankfurt with a score of 0-2. so, Napoli only needs a draw to qualify for the next phase. but it looks like Napoli will not let their opponents dictate the course of the game, especially Napoli playing in front of their own supporters. if Napoli passes smoothly to the next round phase, I hope Napoli will show their best version of the game for their opponents later.

On the other hand Leipzig are technically in a better situation than Frankfurt. But still the rematch is in Etihad Stadium so their job will be really difficult. I don't think Manchester City would do the same mistake again in any half. They would go for dominating the match as a whole and finish the job.

But at least, armed with a match in the first leg. Leipzig still has a chance to qualify for the next round phase. although, the probability that they have is very small. I'm sure Marco Rose is well aware that to keep up with the game from Manchester City will be difficult for his team. also, this fight will be held at the Etihad Stadium, the headquarters of The Citizen. however, in any case, Leipzig will play all out to provide fierce resistance for their opponents.

On the other hand, on paper Man City will easily overthrow Leipzig when fighting at the Etihad Stadium, City headquarters. strong motivation to play in front of his own supporters, will make City play very aggressively to finish the fight and ensure passage to the next phase. So overall I agree with what you're saying.

Inter - Porto has been one of the competitive matchups so far. Maybe not the majority of people are interested in this one because of its being a little boring.

Because there was only one goal in the first leg although there were so many goal attempts by both sides. Especially Inter were really bad at finding the target despite their being the winning side by 1-0. They wasted so many goal chances but hopefully they will be better next time. Porto have one of their important players missing due to a red card in the second leg - Otavio. But it is still going to be played in Portugal which is an advantage for them. Inter would try to secure their advantage first. Maybe this matchup might extend to extra time at least. But I still expect Inter to be the team advancing to next round.

It seems like that napoli and real madrid already got guaranteed spots due to the aggregates against its opponent, while the hardest matches to predict are the winners from city vs leipzig and inter vs porto.

That's my prediction for rest of matches in the last 16. That will be very interesting thing to see that the draw for last 8.

It seems like that all if big clubs will be trying even harder in last 8. City vs leipzig seems good enough to be watched.

I think Napoli, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Inter Milan will secure the victory in the Round of 16 matches. Because these teams are favorites in all aspects, each team is very responsible for their performance. But the Round of 8 matches will be fantastic.

Does anyone remember Liverpool's great comeback against Barcelona a few years ago, when they overcame a three-goal deficit against Barcelona and won 4:0?
After that miraculous turnaround and great victory against Barcelona, Liverpool then became European champions for the last time.
Already from these examples it can be seen that Liverpool is an expert in great reversals and unexpected victories, so they should not be underestimated in the match against Real.
Liverpool have no chance of winning any other trophy this season and for them the match against Real is the match of the season and they will certainly play at the highest possible level.
The team that recently disastrously defeated Manchester United with 7:0 must be taken very seriously.

Don't give them high hopes, Liverpool couldn't break down Bournemouth yesterday, and also with a penalty awarded, it was shot wide by Salah. I found that miss embarrassing and also the player smiling after lossing such a big big chance to help take a point from the game.
Now if you talk about history, they currently lacked those player's, yes Real Madrid might be also struggling but you don't expect such comeback with such a squad. The simple truth about everything is that Liverpool can not qualify against Real Madrid.

Besides, Real Madrid didn't do so bad yesterday, as they came from behind to win the game narrowing the points just if Barcelona drops point tonight.

Real Madrid isn't a club which want to play in defense position, so the match should be a lot of goals. Napoli is a dark horse, but they seems doesn't have a good mentality.

I think everyone is free to choose to bet for any team and we cannot limit their freedom, if they still have high confidence in Liverpool then it is their right to make their own choice. But the problem is that they have to be ready to accept all the risks, because usually they will expect to win because they get high odds but are not ready to accept the worst risks.

Also, I agree with you that Napoli really don't have a very good mentality when it comes to the Champions League. But who knows, maybe because in this season Napoli has good dominance in Serie A, it is possible that the positive trend that Napoli has can have a good impact on the Champions League as well.

It's a shame that Liverpool played at home to Real Madrid in the 1st leg. But still enthusiastic, there is still hope in the 2nd leg, even though it is difficult, you still have to be optimistic, even though the result will definitely be losing to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabue. Because I'm sure that this match belonged to Real Madrid, apart from being superior on aggregate, Real Madrid also got positive results in Laliga, on the other hand, Liverpool lost to the team at the bottom of the standings.

Two clubs that are difficult to predict that qualify for the last 8. Maybe City have a chance to qualify, but between Porto vs Inter, I'm sure Inter will get a ticket to the top 8. I expected the game to be a draw, but to my knowledge the away goal advantage has been removed. But Inter have bagged 1 goal.

However, as the host, Porto certainly has more motivation to surpass the aggregate points and at this time, even though Inter are superior, 1 point on aggregate is not enough to make them safe in the match later.

This will be a little difficult to predict because the conditions are the same as when Tottenham met Milan and Chelsea met Dortmund.
The condition of the two teams is still possible at this time even though the aggregate is 1 goal for Inter. But when looking at the first leg, 1 goal can also be considered as luck in my opinion, so this condition can still happen for Porto and Inter in this match.
Whatever the result, I will clearly enjoy this fight without betting because in my opinion, the risk is still quite large.

Since after Real Madrid was able to score Liverpool very high number of goals up to 5, I don't have any special hope in Liverpool that they could do any wonders against Real Madrid in the Champions League, even if they will have to perform any wonders it is not against Real Madrid. Liverpool wanted to give people false hope when they defeated Manchester United by seven goals. People thought that they could change their narrative and get some goals against Real Madrid. But it did not take long before Liverpool prove them wrong by losing to Bournamouth which is a relegation team in the English Premier League.

If inter Milan are at their best then of course I agree Inter Milan will be the underdogs in the second leg against Porto. but If Inter Milan's condition is not at their best then I doubt Inter milan will qualify for the next stage. and in the Serie A match this week Inter really disappointed me because they had to lose to Spezia. but I hope in the Champions League they won't make a mistake. although Porto are hosting this time. but Inter Milan should have won the game. But Porto certainly won't let things go smoothly for Inter. and Porto could have turned things around.
