UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

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.

If Napoli was to play Chelsea in the quarter finals then they're getting eliminated. It doesn't matter what form they have been on. Dortmund had all the form but still got eliminated because they lacked the experience of the champions league. This is Napoli first quarter finals but Chelsea has always reached this stages as they even did so last year but got eliminated by the eventual winners Real Madrid. Chelsea will use their experience against them and so will they do if other smaller clubs are been paired with them. I think the only clubs I'm afraid of facing at the moment are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

Those guys are the only clubs I can say will comfortable defeat Chelsea and even at that Chelsea won't go down without a fight but if we're to get paired with Napoli, Benfica, Milan or inter Milan, we're definitely getting through to the next stage. I love it when Chelsea gets underated because we always achieve something whenever that happens. In 2021 we were also underated and was tipped of losing the final but we all know how that went. If Chelsea can avoid those three clubs in the quarter finals then we can still shock the world this season as well.

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.

Real Madrid are a more better team compared to Liverpool who have been beaten by Real Madrid four times in a row in their last head to head meetings. I wonder how long Liverpool will be dominated by Real Madrid and being kicked out of the tournament, obviously Liverpool will finish the season without a trophy.

[kro55]

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.

I cannot agree with you. Apart from Manchester City, Napoli and Bayern Munich teams are very strong this season. The performances of Napoli and Bayern Munich are very consistent now. And so it is not correct that Real Madrid is the only favorite team for this year's title. Munich and Napoli's performances are more consistent than Real Madrid's. And personally, I don't think the Madrid team will win this time. Because Benzema's fitness is not right. He is facing frequent injuries. And without Benzema, Real Madrid's attacking performance is not stable. It is very risky if the team depends on a certain player.

Underestimating a club who has won more games, scored more goals then they have conceded, you match them with a side struggling?
Staggering? Lol.
I'd love to agree but this is football, it's pretty sad you just underestimated Napoli, the beauty of everything is that Napoli are winning the Champions League. And when you talk about experience, you mean from Graham Potter ? This is not happening. Tjis has got to be his first Champions League, he's going back home. We're not supposed to talk about Graham Potter because, with tactics he's poor, Chelsea players are just the once pushing ans propelling the club forward.

Trust me, we have to give credit to them Italians,  We've got three good clubs, Ac Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli soon to ne Italian league giants.

Real Madrid are a more better team compared to Liverpool who have been beaten by Real Madrid four times in a row in their last head to head meetings. I wonder how long Liverpool will be dominated by Real Madrid and being kicked out of the tournament, obviously Liverpool will finish the season without a trophy.

As long as real madrid is still having strong squad like that and liverpool will never able to beat real madrid. Competing with real madrid is something that being avoided by almost all of team in UCL caused by did know how good the track record of real madrid in UCL.

Real madrid was the only team that has been collecting 14 UCL trophies while liverpool was following it at the second position. Liverpool can be defeated easily by real madrid. Losing big aggregates has made liverpool lost all of its hope to win against madrid in santiago bernabeu. The small score as a result was enough to make real madrid will able to win the match and go to the last 8.

Who do you think gonna be next opponent for real madrid? I guess bayern.

[Silence Scream]

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.

Rüdiger is one of the few defenders of world football, but I remember him with his action against Japan in the World Cup.  Despite his bad luck at the time, Real Madrid is playing very well in his career.  He has already become one of the most important players of the team.  He also did some great things against Liverpool.  An important player for Real, I hope they don't lose him.

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.

For me too, Real Madrid remains the favorite to win the Champions League final, who knows what pairings will come out of today's draw, I'll try to see it live, work permitting. In the meantime, Italy hasn't had 3 teams in the quarter-finals since 2006 of the Champions League. Despite the criticisms that are regularly made to the Italian championship, this year it seems that things are going differently, as it still has 6 out of 7 teams still involved in their respective European competitions. Napoli Inter and Milan in the Champions League, Juventus Rome in the Europa League and Fiorentina in the conference League, the only one eliminated was Lazio even if they didn't have a big opponent to beat but they were eliminated anyway

If Liverpool can just focus on finishing in the top four  it will mean they have achieved something this season. Madrid has always been a big threat to Liverpool, in the past five season where both teams met in the Champions League at various stages, Liverpool only managed to get a draw once and the rest were losses. Ancelotti is a tactical coach for sure but the number of goals conceded Liverpool this season was way too abnormal. Klopp needs to revisit his drawing board to ensure he gets a ticket for next season Champions League.

[Luzin]

Who do you think gonna be next opponent for real madrid? I guess bayern.

It's hard to predict, but I hope they meet a team that doesn't make it difficult for them for the next round. Because I hope madrid win the UCL this year. This is because they look to be struggling to win La Liga.  So i hope, they will meet the teams from Serie A. Because there are currently three teams of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli. The draw will be streamed live on UEFA.com from 12:00 CET on Friday 17 March.

[BITCOIN4X]

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.

It means you underestimate the other team's chance to win the match because you are very selfish just because you don't want Real Madrid to lose. Football is game about beating each other up, even the non-favorite team can win over the favorite team as long as they take their chances and defend well. So don't underestimate anyone in the quarter-finals even if you hope Real Madrid will qualify for the semi-finals.

Whoever Real Madrid plays in the quarter-finals, in my opinion, their chances of winning are just as great. If it's Napoli, then it's very likely that Real Madrid will fail this season. I will say no to Real Madrid this season even if many of you disagree with me.

Every season, Real Madrid is always the favorite in this prestigious tournament in Europe. Not without reason until now El Real is the real ruler with the 14 Champions League titles they have. But in the title race this season, Madrid are not as strong as the previous season even though they have now penetrated the quarterfinals. I hope Real Madrid doesn't go head-to-head with Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

This season marked the rise of the Italian team. Serie A still has its representatives in the Champions League until the quarterfinals. But I don't think the three teams have been fully tested, but I think that only Napoli have high hopes but that depends on the draw as well.

It is like a circle. In some seasons, La Liga clubs dominate Europe, then it is time for Premier League or Bundesliga. I barely see domination from Bundesliga clubs but with La Liga, Premier League and Serie A, it happened many times already.

In this season, clubs from Italy are not too strong as they have many problems themselves but by one way or another, they played well and went far in Champions League and Europa League. They must continue it in quarter finals to make Italy football great again.

Coming to quarter finals has little meaning but it will be great achievement if they reach to semi finals. They also need luckiness from draw ceremony to avoid internal meetings in quarter finals.

the percentage of AC Milan and Napoli in being able to win the UCL this season is very small compared to the other remaining teams, if you look at the strength of the teams, the two representatives of Serie A are not the favorites to win the title.
we see the strength of other teams realistically, even though they can place 2 of their representatives in the quarter-finals, that doesn't mean that Serie A this season is much better than last season or other leagues.

[shogun47]

Are you really still impressed by their performances? They have played the first leg against Frankfurt so brutally effective and strong that this performance didn'T surprise me whatsoever. For me personally they are one of the favorites for the Champions League title by now without a doubt. They are too constant to be underestimated now. It's not a team that had some lucky games over the course of the season. They control every single game and the few points they lost in the Serie A wasn't because they were the weaker team, it was just because things didn't play out that well that day.

Now let's see who they are going to face next. But I am sure no matter who the opponent is, none of them will be happy if their draw turns out to be Napoli as the next opponent.

For Napoli, everything can end as soon as Bayern or City become their rivals, but Real and Benfica are likely to be able to beat them in the same way. I'm still very skeptical about Napoli in the Champions League, although I agree that Spalletti managed to make Napoli a very good team. We do not have to wait long, tomorrow we will be able to find out all the couples for the 1/4 finals.

I am absolutely convinced that Bayern would be as concerned playing against Napoli as they would be when they were to play against Real Madrid or City. Napoli is no mediocre team this season. They are brutally well organized in their game. Nobody is pulling off unnecessary ticks or experiments. Everyone sticks to their role on the pitch and fulfill it with 100% dedication and precision. I have hardly seen a team that plays soccer so disciplined as Napoli is playing this season. You just can't create chances against them, and if you do be guaranteed that they are perfectly set up to counter your attack successfully. It is impressive to watch their games.

Theirs hopes were finally destroyed, it was quite a shame that they couldn't even score in the second leg, Liverpool were completely different from last season where they could still get to the final even though they lost in the end. The heavy draw and also their condition which was under last season caused the failure.

Waiting for the draw for the quarter-finals, if Napoli will face one of the teams from the city of Milan I'm a little sure they can make it to the semifinals, but Bayern, City and Real Madrid will be the favorites to continue advancing to the semifinals, Chelsea can be surprising at times, but their form is still in question.

Overall yes, the chances for these 2 teams are smaller compared to other strong teams such as Madrid, Man city and Bayern Munich
But Napoli I think they can't be underestimated they are the strongest team in Serie A right now with strength on all lines
I think only Madrid can stop them or the situation could be different if through a penalty.

Napoli, Real Madrid are very likely in the Champions League. Real Madrid is currently the best team in the Champions League. On the other hand, Napoli are trying their best to move forward. The next matches of the Champions League will be very competitive.

What exactly tells you that Real Madrid is any better than Napoli right now? Sure you can look at it historically and say that Real Madrid has so many titles while Napoli has none, but that doesn't make sense right in this moment. Except if you argue that the experience sets Real Madrid apart from the rest. That might perhaps be a point, but I would say that that comes into play especially in the final of this tournament, not so much in a quarter or semi final.

Now it 's only less than two hours to go until we will all know what the next matches will be. I am excited like hell for it.

I think there are at least 4 teams that have the potential to reach the final and win the title, they are:
1. Napoli
2. Real Madrid
3. Manchester City
4. Bayern Munchen

Even if all teams had a chance to make it to the finals I think one or two of the four finals favorites would enter. I'd expect Real Madrid to be in the final, but I wouldn't be too eager to say if we weren't really good in the quarter-finals. Now is the time to look forward to the quarter-finals, and so far I've been waiting to see who Real Madrid will play against.

I agree with you that one shouldn't underestimate Napoli even though they are not as big favorites as the other teams left in the Champions League this season. They are very strong, and in fact they have been very consistent this season compared to other teams in Serie A. Especially if they manage to claim the title earlier in Serie A, they will focus on the Champions League, and I think with their points advantage in Serie A , they can do that now.
