UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[bbigtart]

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. 

Apart from Liverpool appearing insecure, I see that Real Madrid's defense is very difficult to penetrate, especially Rudiger. This is indeed one of the best defenders at the moment and deserves a very high salary, it's no wonder when he won the Champion at Chelsea because there were Rudiger and Silva, of course they are top defenders who are difficult to pass.

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.

Napoli will likely meet Benfica or Chelsea. I don't know how it will happen but I just know it may happen. And right now, I think the only team that I so much dread is Bayern Munich. I will be so impressed if Bayern meets Napoli or real Madrid cuz I really can't see any team that is capae of Eliminatimg Bayern Munich from the Champion league as it stands, exception of Napoli and real Madrid. Manchester City is not to be trusted at the moment,  though they will do well has they have fort to this stage. Napoli may Eliminate Bayern if luckily such should happen in the quarter final.

with the new rules it is likely that teams from the same league will face each other in the quarter-finals. I don't expect Napoli to get the same opponent, aka from Serie A. I want to see the matches in the quarter-finals more exciting than the round of 16 so that the strongest teams from different leagues can meet each other in quarter finals. maybe napoli vs manchester city is a spectacular match that brings together the two most aggressive stickers in their respective leagues.

but if Napoli get opponents from Serie A teams, for example Inter or AC Milan, of course their chances of qualifying for the next round will be wide open because we know Napoli are quite strong in Serie A.

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.

I agree with that, Napoli's condition is still very good and it would be a shame if they met Madrid because even though their current performance is still good, facing Madrid will obviously be very dangerous, of course.
It would be great if they faced another team first even if it would be difficult but it would be slightly better than meeting Madrid.

Since group stage, Napoli success won 7 of 8 games Champion League in this season and seems how superior their performance not only consistency in domestic league but also Napoli have good achievement in Champion League after qualifying to quarter final. Next tomorrow is drawing schedule match for quarter final and I expected how possibility for Napoli against Manchester City?

In quarter final possibility have many big matches but I don't expected with Real Madrid against with bigger team like Manchester City or Bayern Munich, have expected with Madrid against Benfica or AC Milan seems weakness team and get potential lead until semifinal, but Madrid have experience against bigger team last season and success got Champion League tittle without as favorite team.

[Leviathan.007]

 I expected Real Madrid to win, but I also expected a more meaningful game from Liverpool. Still, they had nothing to lose, this is their last match in the Champions League this season, they could have slammed the door for last, but it is clear that it is difficult for them to play against Real Madrid, although we have to admit that they were much better in defense in the second leg.

Many people already says if in the 2nd leg match between Madrid vs Liverpool will not be interesting because 90% of the chances to qualify is for Madrid. This prediction can be said to be true. 2nd Leg Madrid managed to add 1 goal while Liverpool could not score. Liverpool participation in UCL this season is done, But we have Man City & Chelsea as representatives of the EPL. I think the ideal final for this season is
- Madrid vs Munich or
- Madrid vs City
the rest will be surprise final match (IMO). 

I think it can be more interesting if we see a match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid while on the other side, we can have Napoli and Manchester City because Napoli could perform very well so far and they have Victor Osimhen who is known for his awesome performance in the Napoli while in Manchester City they have Haaland with the same situation, so I think we these two forward players face each other we can see an amazing match.

Manchester City rained goals on Leipzig yesterday. I expected Manchester City to win this match but I didn't expect them to win in such a different way.Manchester City won the match with a dominant football from the beginning to the end of the match.It must be said that they had a very comfortable victory.Manchester City scored 7 goals with 16 hits in 23 shots.It is worth mentioning that 5 goals came from Haaland.He is a really excellent player and he showed himself again in this match.

There's a feeling that not everyone has yet come away from the kind of event Haaland created, it's surprising that they replaced him so early, apparently so he wouldn't break any new records, huh. But actually it was really obvious, it was more of a surprise to me when they played a draw in the first match, I thought they broke, but no, it seemed . I wonder who their opponent will be now...

It's a pity for Haaland. Pep's decision to take him off so early is probably to avoid breaking the record. It makes no sense to take off a player who has scored 5 goals on the way to a new record. What Pep did is very wrong and from what I see on social media there is a big lynching.
I didn't expect it to be so easy but I expected City to have a comfortable game at home, I thought they wouldn't push any harder when they had a comfortable score in the first half but it wasn't like that. They kept scoring goals in the second half.

Yes, maybe he did wrong, but a player like that still has a lot of time to break all the records, he is young and apparently he is not going to give up his position, I'm sure he will break those records. As for the other matches, they were quite boring I think, madrid and liverpool played with a minimum score, amazingly, liverpool already 4 times in a row leaves the tournament thanks to Real Madrid

I'm also very curious about Napoli's performance when they meet big clubs in the UCL later. Are they going to be as effective and as good as usual or not. Napoli is a club beyond expectations. They really have a very good impression this season. Their performance is very consistent and they can always take advantage of opportunities to win. But indeed, there will be many obstacles in the quarter-finals later, moreover many big clubs have passed.

They didn't even make a real breakthrough in the second half as their scheme read Madrid.
In the second half, Madrid really controlled the game, even the long bait that Madrid always did was very successful to make it difficult for Liverpool to anticipate that.
Klopp also couldn't do much here because they were already difficult in the first half and the second half had no chance of a comeback.

Pep Guardiola's de

As for the other matches, they were quite boring I think, madrid and liverpool played with a minimum score, amazingly, liverpool already 4 times in a row leaves the tournament thanks to Real Madrid

Pep Guardiola's decision to take off Erling Haaland was absolutely deliberate and he admitted it the the post match conference yesterday citing that he's too young to break Leo Messi's record of most goals scored in a single UEFA Champions League match.

Guardiola's love for Leo Messi can never be over emphasised despite the fact that he's stopped managing him for since a decade ago. He still wants him to be respected as the best player ever in the history of football. I would have be infuriated by that substitution I was the one in question but I love the way the young lad managed the situation

I still hope these 4 teams don't meet that soon because indeed it would be very unfortunate if the big clubs met in the top 8 because the hope is clear that the semi-finals will be much more exciting it seems.
Even so, the 4 clubs that you mention here now are candidates that really deserve to be seen how they navigate the Champions League this season.

I think it's the right decision from Guardiola, because he wants to elicit the best of Haaland, and Leipzig wasn't that good in that match, so letting Haaland score additional goals in that match won't help Halland or the team. Therefore, Guardiola substituted him in order to save his ambition for another match, in which the team would be in need of his goals. However, scoring 5 goals in one match will remain a big achievement.

As for the other matches, they were quite boring I think, madrid and liverpool played with a minimum score, amazingly, liverpool already 4 times in a row leaves the tournament thanks to Real Madrid

Real Madrid is the hero of this competition, not only Liverpool, there is also Bayern Munich, who get kicked out many times by Real Madrid. That is the reason why all other European teams hate Real Madrid. Indeed, every time we expect them to get kicked out, they continue and win the title, so from now on, I won't exclude them from the heaviest competitors for the title this season.

Haaland the monster. Except for the penalty goal, all the goals were a combination of determination and Halland's skill with positioning in the style of Inzaghi. A frightening combination. The term is the ball that is looking for Halaand. If Halaand is not replaced, maybe he will score again and break Messi's record as the top scorer in one match in the Champions League. What you say may be true, Pep doesn't want Lionel Messi's record to be snatched away by Haaland.

Leo has been a very iconic figure since a long time now and, it has always been a tough competition with his rival, Ronaldo. They aren't actually rivals in real life,..it's just the way we try to figure out the whole thing though.
Erling halland on the other hand was raised from the academy and hasn't flopped since then, not even when he was signed for man City, talk more of his base club, Dortmund. I think he's making a crucial step towards achieving the Golden boat; that's something Leo has been awarded alot more times than Neymar, talk more of halland.

I'm quite excited about the draw tomorrow. Real Madrid are still my secret favourite for the Champions League title honestly. Because they are already a very dominant team in this tournament and nothing has changed by this season as well. They should be seen as the biggest threat for any of the teams that have made it to the quarter final round.

Real Madrid are like a nightmare for Manchester City considering their last matchup here. If they get another draw against each other again then I will be very curious about it.

[Frankolala]

I think it can be more interesting if we see a match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid while on the other side, we can have Napoli and Manchester City because Napoli could perform very well so far and they have Victor Osimhen who is known for his awesome performance in the Napoli while in Manchester City they have Haaland with the same situation, so I think we these two forward players face each other we can see an amazing match.

Even so, the 4 clubs that you mention here now are candidates that really deserve to be seen how they navigate the Champions League this season.

I just believe that any club Real Madrid plays will go home in the next round because presently,I don't think that among the clubs that qualified, any of them will be able to win Real Madrid if they meet. Napoli is a good club with Oshimen scoring goals in all his matches,I don't know if they will be able to play Real Madrid.

Chelsea is a club that might be able to play Madrid due to their last records in the league but I don't think Potter and his boys will be able to display those professional performance which Chelsea do display when playing against a big club in the UCL. We hope to see the poll and to know which club will be playing with the other.

[Zlantann]

I'm also very curious about Napoli's performance when they meet big clubs in the UCL later. Are they going to be as effective and as good as usual or not. Napoli is a club beyond expectations. They really have a very good impression this season. Their performance is very consistent and they can always take advantage of opportunities to win. But indeed, there will be many obstacles in the quarter-finals later, moreover many big clubs have passed.

This Napoli team is the one of the best teams currently in the Champions League. They have scored more goals and conceded little. Which shows that they are scoring and defending very well. They have won many top class clubs in Italy therefore I don't expect any big team to be a huge challenge to this current Napoli team. But like you said maybe playing teams like Manchester City or Real Madrid might give is a clear picture of the quality or worth of the Napoli team.

I'm quite excited about the draw tomorrow. Real Madrid are still my secret favourite for the Champions League title honestly. Because they are already a very dominant team in this tournament and nothing has changed by this season as well. They should be seen as the biggest threat for any of the teams that have made it to the quarter final round.

Real Madrid are like a nightmare for Manchester City considering their last matchup here. If they get another draw against each other again then I will be very curious about it.

I want Real Madrid to play against Chelsea and let Napoli play Manchester City. These are matches I want to watch because I want to see how strong Chelsea have become and I also want Napoli to disapprove people's view that they have not met a strong team. This match will be a litmus test for all these teams.

[bekti3]

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.

Madrid has always been a frightening specter even though its conditions are not very good in the domestic league.
Last season they destroyed 3 EPL clubs and now 1 has been knocked out by them.
To be honest I wanted a semi-final rematch last season Even though it is certain that in this case Manchester City will still be the same as before but this is also to see if their ego from last season is still there with too much confidence when the game is not over.

[JoyMarsha]

I don't know which team can deal with them really for now.

Manchester City is the only team I'm watching that has the potential to compete with Real Madrid. Now that Manchester City players are at the top of their game, I simply hope they can play again as soon as possible. At least Manchester City will get their revenge.
For a team to be able to deal with Real Madrid it is to mark off Real Madrid's key players "Benzema and Junior Vinicius". Once any team succeeds in doing that, Real Madrid will have no winning pressure.

[izsara]

Real Madrid vs Liverpool 40+ into the match and both clubs have not made any attempt to make a goal score, and despite Real Madrid's, dominance of the field their player still could not convert all the chances into goals, I know the difference is for g to come in the second half of the match.

Looking at several conditions of opportunity it seems that the second leg is slightly less intense in terms of intensity compared to the first leg.
But there have been several chances that were actually quite good in this first half it's just that they seem to be too careful. I think the match will be more interesting in the second half because regardless of anything Liverpool will definitely change their scheme.

Like it or not, Liverpool really have to change their game scheme, a total attack can be an option because it is very clear that Real Madrid is the favorite to qualify. If they play like they did in the first half it will benefit Real Madrid a lot, because Real Madrid will definitely play them to keep the score level until the end of the game. They have lost on aggregate with not a few goals too, so Liverpool really have to go all out to attack.

In the end this did not happen, Liverpool's hopes of improving the scheme failed miserably because they seemed to be trapped by Madrid in the second half.
This is actually a bad condition for Liverpool, instead of reducing the aggregate, they actually multiply and have lost for the 4th time in the last 4 matches against Madrid.
