UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[hahay]

I'm sure a lot of us here hat goals in Real - Liverpool right ? The game really looked like no one could score if no one makes a mistake or big luck is involved and that is exactly what happened because Real scored by luck in my opinion but on the other side , Liverpool had no power to score 1 goal ? I mean , it doesn't even looked they were trying or maybe Real is really that good in defense.

Liverpool are not confident about a comeback to even qualify for the quarter-finals, I think it is also difficult for Liverpool to score 4 goals against Madrid without replying, on the contrary, Madrid scored 1 additional goal in this second leg, I think people already know yesterday's match the result is that madrid will advance to the quarter-finals. 

There were a lot of reasons to believe Liverpool would lose, remember they were playing the defending champion with the most experience and victories in the game. Their deficit of 5-2 was too much to overcome, plus they were playing in a stadium with similar size and a similar atmosphere. It's unfortunate that Liverpool is having a bad run of games with a loss against a lower-league team in their last match, this result was not good for Real madrid game

Well, I think we all also realize that it is difficult for Liverpool to come back and moreover the opponent is Real Madrid as the best team in Europe. But at least, even though Liverpool have certainly not qualified, but Liverpool should be ambitious and have the ability to score goals. Because if Liverpool can score goals then of course, Liverpool are still seen as having better morale even though in the end they still don't qualify.

I don't know if the goals scored in the second leg were a lucky or not, but at least with Real Madrid still getting one goal, of course Real Madrid are still playing with better morale. Because if Real Madrid wanted to play more relaxed, basically they could still end the match without a goal, but perhaps because Liverpool were too weak, and then Real Madrid could still win in the second leg.

[ShowOff]

Will real madrid face chelsea again in the last 8? that will be very interesting match to be true.

I will wait tomorrow to see the draw results. I think Real Madrid is more likely to meet one of the Serie A teams than one of the Premier League teams. If that turns out to be true, then I hope Real Madrid will meet Napoli, not Inter or Milan. Napoli is deserve for Real Madrid because I don't expect them to meet the same team in the Champions League as last season. But let's wait for the drawing results tomorrow.

The following is the draws procedure:

UEFA Champions League quarter-final, semi-final and final draws

Can teams from the same country play each other in the Champions League quarter-finals?
Yes, it is an open draw. There are no seedings and no country protection, so clubs can face opposition from the same national association and teams they previously came up against in the group stage.

How does the Champions League quarter-final draw work?
Eight balls containing the names of the quarter-finalists are placed in a large central bowl and shuffled. The first team drawn plays its first match at home, against the second team drawn. The procedure is repeated with the remaining balls in the bowl to complete the quarter-final pairings.

Are the Champions League semi-finals drawn at the same time?
Yes. For the semi-final draw, four balls containing slips of paper marked 'Winners of quarter-final 1' to 'Winners of quarter-final 4' are placed in a large central bowl and shuffled. The first and second balls drawn determine the first semi-final pairing, the first ball drawn representing the home team for the first leg. The procedure is repeated with the remaining balls in the bowl to complete the semi-final pairings.

There will then be a third draw to determine the 'home' side in the final for administrative reasons.

Liverpool is already out of the quarter-finals this season, as their consistent losses have led to the club's inability to meet up with the basic point requirements to qualify for that round, the worst thing is that their loss to real Madrid again last night.

It will be interesting to wait for the results of the draw for the last 8 of the Champions League and I think representatives from one country will most likely meet because the placement of one country plot has been abolished, three representatives from Serie-A, two representatives from the Premier League, one representative from La Liga, one representatives from the Bundesliga and one representative from Portugal.

If Real Madrid meets Napoli then this will be the big match that many football lovers have been waiting for, because the last time they met was in 2017 in the race for a quarter-final ticket which was won by Real Madrid. So it will be very difficult for us to predict the course of the match, especially since Napoli is currently in its best form in both Serie A and the Champions League.

Yes, it looks like they have lost their mentality after losing the first leg at home with a crushing score too. It's very sad when they don't do anything in this match, but I still appreciate their efforts to fight until the end. I actually turned to Jurgen Klopp and how his expression was throughout the match, from what I saw, the coach had indeed resigned himself to the outcome of the game in their last game in the Champions League this season. He really looked like a confused person in that match.

This draw will decide whether we are going to lose some big names in the quarter finals already. In a worst case scenario we have two matchups between Real Madrid, Bayern, Man City and Napoli. I wouldn't like that. I hope for some of the bigger names to reach the final. Sure the best teams hopefully win, no matter who that is, but that's up to everyone's taste in the end.

First of all let's wait and see whether the UEFA is able to conduct the draw without any mistakes as they happened some time ago. Obviously, there were claims that it might have been rigged, but that probably goes a bit too far.

I'm curious about how far Chelsea can make it in the Champions League from now on. Because they had pretty big problems against Dortmund despite having so many goal opportunities. The first leg was very bad for them as for finishing. The second leg was quite unexpected for me because Dortmund just let them play very comfortably. This time Chelsea were capable of scoring goals thankfully.

But it is really not easy for them to go on like this as long as they become inconsistent. They need to turn this into a habit to score multiple goals in a match. We don't have the old Chelsea which defend amazingly and win matches with scores like 1-0. Their defending isn't that good now.

[alastantiger]

After many attempts, the current Napoli team is rewriting Italian history by becoming the first set of teams to reach the quarter-finals. I never had any doubts about their first leg, and the second leg is a complete confirmation of the first with an aggregate of 5-0, something some of the best teams couldn't do and they proudly did. The next stage of the Quater Final is what I'm worried about; it may be too difficult to get through in my opinion. Inter has played Napoli a couple of times and they are second in their domestic league, but they always win or draw Napoli; I hope that doesn't happen again in this stage of the Quater Final.

Napoli's performance is stunning. And they deserve to be in the quarter finals. With a good striker like Osimhen who did a wonderful heading and he keeps scoring in all the league. Osimhen is on fire this season. He is one big player Napoli wouldn't want to loose. Their team work was excellence.  And like they saying goes about team work "team work makes the dream work". They are on the edge of victory and if they eventually win the champions league, Osimhen will move to the Premier league.

Napoli's performance is getting stronger day by day. The players of the team are gaining confidence. Also the bonding between them is very strong now. And if the team is able to maintain the consistency of this performance, and if no important players of the team face injuries, then the Napoli team has a great chance of winning the Champions League title this season. Napoli's performance seems more consistent to me than Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Manchester City.

Real Madrid plays much better than Liverpool regardless of whether the goal they scored against them was luck or not. Real Madrid does put up their best effort to win matches in the championship than any other league game they are into, in respect of the team they are playing against.

Liverpool is been kicked out of the championship league, even the premier league's top position. So they are going to end up this year with no single trophy (trophyless)

How can Liverpool have such good confidence after their heavy defeat in the first leg with 2-5? I never expected them to win the second leg, in the end my hopes were right even though I predicted Real Madrid could win 3-1 in the second leg. But it doesn't matter, the final aggregate is 6-2 to qualify for the quarter-finals, fantastic.

Then next, I think our move would have been difficult had Napoli and Bayern Munich been opponents for the draw. I know Napoli is good, Munich is good and both teams are really going to make it difficult for Real Madrid. I don't expect either of these two teams to meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, but if they do then I hope we have a solution to qualify.

It is clear that many people say that Real Madrid will advance to the next round and this has been proven by the results of the matches that have been completed. In addition, Liverpool this season has not been good enough with the performance they have shown in most of the matches played by Liverpool so the result he got against Real Madrid is a very decent result even though it is very painful for Liverpool fans.

Liverpool are not in their best form in the English league, but they have impressed in the Champions League with only 1 defeat in the group stage. I can only imagine that if Liverpool had not met Real Madrid they would have advanced to the quarter-finals this season, but unfortunately Liverpool are still having a hard time beating Real Madrid.

Klopp must have realized what Liverpool are lacking this season especially in the Champions League, so he should be able to quite cover the same gap next season if he stays at Liverpool longer. Meanwhile, Klopp must struggling to qualify for the Champions League next season after being left behind by many points from Tottenham until Week 26.

The strongest team in the Champions League this season I think is Bayern Munich and that is clear from the opponents they have beaten to qualify for the top 8. For the draw that will be held tomorrow will give a strong meaning who the opponents they will face. i want to see bayern munich vs real madrid and manchester city vs napoli. if this happens it must be very exciting and most likely if their match is a match that will provide an answer as to who will be the champion this season.

team from serie A, they have three representatives in the round of 8 and i think they have a good chance to be champions this season. I think that if the UCL trophy is successfully obtained by Serie A team then Serie A will most likely become a very competitive league next season.

Napoli have made it to the quarter finals and I'm wondering what team they will have a matchup against. I would really like to see Napoli facing one of the biggest title contenders left because Napoli's performance in such a matchup would give us a better idea about them in the Champions League. Actually I know they faced Liverpool in the group stage. One of those matches were a pure destruction by Napoli.

But Liverpool haven't had a good season anyway so I wonder how strong Napoli can play against teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Real Madrid would be their biggest counter I assume. Napoli might have even a bigger chance against the other two teams.

When Liverpool was matched against Real Madrid, it was already predetermined that Liverpool won't scale through to the quarter finals. Just how could they have with this lack of form and against one of the best teams that have proven themselves over in the UCL.
They lost but not awfullly like it was in the first leg and the Benzema's goal for Real Madrid was just a must score with that positioning and Vinicious Jnr found him real good too.

Napoli on the other hand, I sort of expected a draw from them given the fact that, they already had a 2 goals advantage from the first half but, the were just unstoppable yesterday and Frankfurt couldn't manage to get a goal in both legs. Napoli is just that good this season.

I don't want Napoli to get Real Madrid for the quarter-final draw this season. I'm not afraid and actually I have no reason to be afraid because I know which team I support. Whoever Real Madrid will play against this season is a challenge, even if it's Benfica. Tomorrow is draw day for the quarter-finals, I'm really curious.

The second leg is very different for Liverpool, but Liverpool are no match for Real Madrid. So the Liverpool defeat was predicted, it came true. Even if Liverpool are good in some areas, we can handle it.

[FanEagle]

I would guess that we are going to have at least one great game coming up, and then we are going to have at least one meaningless game as well. Milan, Benfica, Chelsea, Inter, these are teams that I do not think that have a chance against a team like Real Madrid or City. Obviously, Benfica is the weakest looking one, I am not saying they would lose to other weak teams, we could see even Chelsea, which spend 500+ million, end up losing to Benfica with the way they play in the league.

However, if Real or City matches with Benfica, or any of the other weaker teams, that's going to be an easy game without a doubt. We will probably have either Bayern or City or Madrid to face each other though, that would be a big game.

[Distraction]

A draw among Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich would be like an early finale. I'm really worried about Real Madrid's opponent already actually.

You all know the reason for that. Real Madrid are just dominating the Champions League with their huge experience. Maybe they don't have the best squad in the tournament technically but still they are able to win the title here. It is mainly due to being very experienced and using the right strategies even against the biggest title contenders. Liverpool were one of them on paper but we have all witnessed how Real Madrid crushed them on aggregate. I don't know which team can deal with them really for now.

Real Madrid basically has what it takes to win CL trophies. I second everything you said, tbh i don't think they have the best squad in the competition, but they just know how to win CL games, even when they aren't at their best, last season from the RO16 to the Final, their opponents were better than them imo, but it was Real Madrid that progressed to the final and eventually won it.

Having said that, Ancelotti also deserves an awful amount of praise, i admire how he keeps things simple with his team, no confusing tactics and all that, he just puts them in their natural positions and gives them the gameplan, which they execute to perfection more often than not, maybe Pep should learn how to keep things simple from Ancelotti's book, maybe then he'd be able to win the CL with City.
