UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

Kudos for pep Guardiola men yesterday defeating Leipzig 7:0 is something that doesn't happen in Champions league always. Manchester city was super yesterday night, they outclassed Leipzig at Etihad stadium. I was sure they gonna qualitito the next round of the league. And Manchester city are favourite for the title this season. But they will have to destroy Real Madrid to get it.

It's really unfortunate that the second leg between Porto v Inter only ended in a goalless draw, even though Porto immediately attacked when the match started. But unfortunately, Inter only maintained an aggregate win, so Inter only maximized their defense to keep playing well and disciplined, so that Porto was not lucky enough to turn the opportunities they got into goals.

Although Inter also had several attempts with shots on target, but in the end the match only ended in a goalless draw. Even though I really hope that Porto can score goals in the match, because if that happens then of course Inter will try to respond by playing more attacking.

In my opinion, Inzaghi does not want to take risks that will harm Inter. Inzaghi came to Porto, of course he understood the condition of the opposing team. Porto as the host was indeed very ambitious to avenge the defeat in leg 1. However, Porto's attempt failed due to Inter playing with a strong defense. I think this is part of Inzaghi's smart strategy.

Liverpool will be very careful this time because the Leg 2 they have is quite a valuable bet. Real Madrid will also not feel safe even though they have won in Leg 1. Klopp will give his best game to continue advancing to the quarter-finals phase. It's hard to predict in this match because Liverpool always plays well when their opponents have equal strength.

Not really, I will prefer to say Liverpool is still an unstable team. If they always play well against team with equal strength, they would not lose by 3 goals difference in the 1st leg. If Liverpool want to advance to next round, there is only 1 way to make it come true which is by playing full offensive strategy as they will need win with 4 goals difference. I do not want o underestimate Liverpool but I do not even think they can win in Bernabeu.

I also thought Porto could score at least one goal for Inter to tie the overall score of the two games. But Inter defended well in that game and Porto left the Champions League, although they had a good opportunity to continue to compete. Porto have performed much better this season than in the past, but the strongest wins.

the second leg of the round of 16, namely Napoli Vs Frankfurt today, seems to be a little easy to predict. because Napoli in the first leg had won 2 goals at Frankfurt. whereas today the second leg will take place at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Napoli will certainly be superior in this match as the host. even Napoli have excelled when away matches. so this time in the home match it will certainly be easier for Napoli. maybe it will run the same as the Man City match which managed to beat RB Leipzig easily.

There will be no such defeat as the match with City, but Napoli are the clear favorite, and I noticed that the teams do not try to play at half strength, they play to the end. The same City could play more calmly when they scored the third or fourth goal, but they were not even going to stop. Perhaps Napoli to some extent will behave the same way if they catch the courage. And as for Real Madrid, how they will play, they can say everything is done, a minimal win or a draw will be enough.

Liverpool is your hope to qualify for the Quarterfinals?
Historically, Liverpool should not be underestimated by anyone in the UEFA Champion League tournament, but with their current condition you still hope they qualify. Are you serious?

Then what makes you think I'm not saying anything serious?
Even though Real Madrid is the team with the most achievements in the Champions League, I have never underestimated Liverpool, which incidentally has almost certainly failed in the round of 16.

Liverpool must do everything so that their mission this season does not end with the same team as last season. It's difficult to beat Real Madrid, I admit it but Liverpool have a chance. You can underestimate Liverpool because I think you are a Real Madrid fan, but anyway the chances of winning are for Liverpool.

Real Madrid won't be lowering their game at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ancelotti wants to make history. Moreover, they are currently the only team from La Liga.

We'll see, but I'm support Liverpool to win the second leg.

Klopp will give his best game to continue advancing to the quarter-finals phase. It's hard to predict in this match because Liverpool always plays well when their opponents have equal strength.

The spectacular victory that Man City won today has given a breath of fresh air where Haaland is a field star who seems hungry for goals. The 5 goals created that conquered Leipzig were quite satisfying. Pep Guardiola is proud of the achievement of a Haaland who is so on fire to slay the opponent's defense.

Although in this match, of course, Liverpool must use a strategy that places more emphasis on attack because they need a lot of goals to qualify. And to be honest I doubt Liverpool will win this game. after seeing how inconsistent they have been in the last game. so I will comfortably bet for Real Madrid in this match.

Haaland was extraordinary against RB Leipzig. and this is the result of the laxity of RB Leipzig players in escorting Haaland. when haaland is free then he will be an amazing goalscoring machine. same as at the start of the season in the Premier league.

you don't have to win, even a draw is guaranteed to advance to the quarter-finals, Napoli will represent Italy with Intermilan and Milan will advance to the quarter-finals, I'm not sure that Napoli will beat Frankfurt like Manchester City vs Leipzig with a high score, but I predict Napoli will only win narrowly because they also want to save strength for the quarter-finals later.

Haaland must be getting so many applauses from city's fans. I meant if that will not happen if haaland didn't make 5 goals in a row against leipzig. Pep was only changing the players and it was giving very big impact.
Manchester city was not even performing differently compared with the first leg. I think that if it's gonna be a signal that manchester city was seriously targeting UCL as the main target for this season. Pep was thinking if EPL was a common thing but UCL is the most difficult trophy to be won even though city was always playing in UCL any season.

The problem is if it's not the same like the domestic league when you have so many lives to come back. Any club has only one chance in UCL. Once the club unable to win against competitor and it will be eliminated from the competition.

Yes, they don't have to win to qualify for the next round, even a draw is enough for them. It's a big opportunity for them to be able to talk a lot more in the Champions League, maybe they are not talked about as much as Real Madrid, Manchester City or the others, but we all know they have had a very good season this season. They are only a few steps away from registering a title in Serie A, and they also have to show the same in the Champions League and compete with other strong teams.

Haaland is a real phenomenon, left no chance for Leipzig, not only that I do not remember 5 goals scored in the Champions League, but at the age of 20 years Haaland already managed to score 33 goals, more than Wayne Rooney, Robben or Kaka, and these guys were real masters of what few. We are lucky to watch players like Messi and Ronaldo, but I think that if Haaland and Mbappe keep up the pace, they can compete with Ronaldo and Messi both in trophies and number of goals scored.

[Nheer]

Erling Haaland's great positioning and prolific power in front of goal is what I've never doubted despite the recent criticisms. He is naturally born to play in that center forward position and he does it with so much ease but my own only problem with his style of play is his inability to play in deeper positions when the team is having bad game and probably dribble few players and create chances for himself or his teammates to score.

He's always stationed in his top 9 position waiting for great passes come his way so he can convert them. He's a great footballer we know but for him to be seen in the same level with Mbappe, he should be playmaking sometimes.

Manchester City's big win in this match and everyone was amazed and focused on one player, namely Erling Haaland who scored 5 goals, this was extraordinary.
Regardless of the criticism that has been leveled at him lately, the statistics cannot be covered that Erling Haaland is an extraordinary player, in his first season with Man City he was immediately able to adapt quickly and contributed a lot.
I don't compare him to any player but for now at Man City he is the best striker.

What we're know is Real Madrid can pull an upset, while the other club seems unlikely to pull an upset. The match Liverpool vs Real Madrid is happen on Real Madrid's home too, do you think Liverpool will win with big margins in Real Madrid's home? I don't believe it.

Since Real Madrid already secure 3 points in order to qualify for the next round, I think they wouldn't mind if the match end in draw or lose for maximum of 2 goals.

yes, that's true, it's impossible for Liverpool to turn things around, especially since their team's performance is currently very bad.
Real Madrid are the kings of Europe, they have a very strong mentality, it is very difficult to beat them especially now that Real Madrid has won Agg 3 goals.

Critics always follow those who are good just like Cristiano Ronaldo, Halland have been criticized by both Man City fans and Fans from different clubs some will go on to say He is an 18 yard striker and can only score tap ins and easy goals while some would be waiting for his longest non goal scoring streak just to criticize him. I believe the major role of a striker is to score goals and it doesn’t matter how you score them. Halland is a very good striker and a prolific goal scorer and so far he has been brilliant for his club this season he is the highest goal scorer in both premier league and the Champions league its not an easy task to accomplish. Play making is the role of a striker and no one should expect Halland to be much involved in playing because he is meant to be scoring goals.

It will be difficult for Liverpool to turn around this 3 goals though its not impossible. Real Madrid are very experienced in terms of the Champions league its more like they own the league so they can’t be beaten easily especially when they are 3 goals up. It not over until its over but I’d still say Liverpool are eliminated already.

I do not want o underestimate Liverpool but I do not even think they can win in Bernabeu.

Even though Liverpool play a full attacking game, it seems that the mission of making miracles is difficult because Liverpool have been so inconsistent this season. And it is evident that after the 7-0 win over Manchester United, Liverpool lost 0-1 at Bournemouth, it is difficult for Livervool to turn things around because the opponent is Real Madrid, a very good and strong team overall.
Liverpool need 4 goals to qualify for the next round, and it's not an easy score for any team to chase it even though the UCL is full of surprises but I doubt Liverpool can turn things around in this second leg.

I agree, Manchester City played very well yesterday and Haaland was fantastic and it's a real shame that he didn't get the chance to stay until the end of the game and break the Champions League record for most goals in one game.
As for the Champions League, Manchester City have been trying to win this competition for a very long time, but so far they have failed.
Their goal every season is the same, to be champions of England and champions of Europe, nothing has changed.
Unlike when he was in charge of Barcelona, Pep is failing to win the Champions League, first with Bayern and now with Manchester City, despite having the finances to bring any player he wants to the club.
Has his magic disappeared or will Pep finally manage to win the Champions League with Manchester this season? It's hard to say after one game. The time will show.
The Champions League is such a competition that a few minutes of deconcentration can take everything away from you. Remember their match with Real last season in Madrid.

I agree with you that tonight's Real Madrid against Liverpool match is hard to predict, but I think Liverpool's fate was decided in the first game. They certainly won't be able to repeat the feat of Manchester City's yesterdays game  and won't beat Real Madrid by a big score. I even think Real Madrid can win again.

It's very hard to beat Napoli at their home ground even i have to say Frankfurt will be defeated again today and Napoli is on fire currently that their performance in Serie A and champion league were very outstanding even since last season Napoli still had 11 matches unbeatable at home for this competition and scoring 3 goals against Napoli it just like mission impossible for Frankfurt

About Napoli striker Victor Osimhen indeed in Serie A he was very sharp and as top scorer but in champion league i don't know why his performance isn't too impressive that since group stage Osimhen only able to scoring 2 goals however for betting options everything is just clear that pick for Napoli win is very good choice although this option has low odds @1.43 but it's safe bets

Well the rule that away goals count twice is gone so a 3-0 for Liverpool or any other victory with 3 goals difference would be enough for Liverpool to get into the overtime. Of course this is very very hard to achieve against a team like Real Madrid, that has so much experience, especially in this competition, but i still think that it is not impossible. If Liverpool is able to score their first goal pretty early or at least in the first half, then i think everything is possible, because even a team like Real Madrid will become very nervous, if Liverpool would be up with 2-0 in the 70th minute or so. Of course it is way more likely, that Real will play defensively and wait for counter attacks to score and even win the second game too.

Glad to see my choice was coming true. Porto was not able even make a single goal against intermilan. Intermilan has been qualified for the last 8 as we all manchester city by winning with very big scores against leipzig. It must be a very easy prediction. It's better for porto to keep trining to execute the golden chance that came to the club. I meant to look at how it was so hard for porto against intermilan. Glad to see that haaland was making 5 scores alone against leipzig. it seems like that the performance in the bundesliga was also affecting the performance from the club in UCL.

I guess that if halaand can add more goals if pep was not deciding to replace him with another player. What a super game from haaland.

I already suspected that the scores for Intermilan and Porto would be a draw because they were equally strong, at least seeing 2 representatives of Italy namely Intermilan and Milan qualify for the quarter-finals and in the other match Manchester City won with a big score, I think everyone thinks the same as me Manchester City will win the match because they are playing at home and in front of their supporters, of course they want to give their best, but who would have thought that the score would go crazy up to 7 - 0 and that is really a high score.

Although Inter Milan managed to qualify for the quarter-finals, the team's performance could not be said to be too strong. They were venomous in both matches against Porto. After winning the first leg, Inter Milan aimed to draw the match in the second leg. Porto's players attacked a lot throughout the match. On the other hand, Inter Milan played defensively. We don't see many attacks from Inter Milan players.

Porto of course was a bit unlucky in the end, when in the 95th minute when Marko Grujic hit the crossbar and there was no offside, so that could save, but Inter still managed to leave the gate intact.
In general, since '11 Inter did not get past 1 / 4, but then the composition of Inter was stronger, Eto'o also played in the attack.

Given the fact that Milan also got through to the quarterfinals, it happened for the first time since 2006 when two teams from Serie A reached the quarterfinals at the same time. 
Today, according to the idea, Napoli should go to them, so there will be generally 3 teams from the Serie A.

About Napoli striker Victor Osimhen indeed in Serie A he was very sharp and as top scorer but in champion league i don't know why his performance isn't too impressive that since group stage Osimhen only able to scoring 2 goals

It is a good thing that other players can also score goals for Napoli, if they have only been depending on Victor Osimhen to score goals for them, they would have struggled all season both in the league and in the Champions League. The Napoli players are all having their best moments as a team, and if Victor Osimhen doesn't score, they somehow still find ways to win games. Victor may not be scoring now, but his presence gives his team confidence that they can score. He has the ability to score important goals for them.
