UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Pokapoka124]

Madrid can't lose for anyone at this crucial point....I'm solely a Barcelona fan, but I can't dare to guarantee a win against Madrid.
As at the last match, everything went wrong when Barcelona took possession on the ball and -- after all they tried, it was impossible to make a goal -- then, just at the closure of the match, an own goal came from militao... That was a pretty big flop.
Since these is a different tournament entirely, they'll have to keep their finger crossed -- let's assume they are able to defeat against Bayern, then they'll have to Play finally against Napoli.

Real Madrid have been the most consistent team in the last 6 years in regards to the champions league and this season they are fired up as usual for the Champions league title. History is about to be repeated again this season, The same way Real Madrid eliminated Chelsea and Liverpool last season. Real Madrid have already defeated Liverpool and now been paired to eliminate Chelsea. This is so interesting, I will be keeping my fingers crossed and anticipating the return of the champions league games.

Despite the fact that it can be worked with, I am very certain there will be an upset in the predictions. Even though Manchester City is predicted to win the cup, they have not been consistent in the league or other cups.

[Smartvirus]

I don't see anyway in which Manchester City would manage it to winning the UCL. The trophy is sure within the teams in the middle and that would be Napoli, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Manchester City don't look like a team that could get it done and I think they might have to face Real Madrid again. If they can manage it to beat the champions, then they could have a chance else, they can as well go have therr focus on the EPL alongside with Arsenal after being eliminated from the Europa by Sporting CP last night.

There are no exact predictions. I think some surprises will happen in the quarter-final match. this is football when a weak team is taken for granted but they are a team that is fully consistent to beat its opponents. indeed Manchester City has a strong enough squad depth to become champions after they showed how strong they are when they beat Leipzig with an aggregate of 8-1. Apart from that we might think that Chelsea is not too strong after they struggled in the domestic league to get a victory but they also have a very strong squad and that could be a miracle factor for them in the Champions league.

From the Serie A team, Napoli have had a pretty good pace this season, they even have a little advantage because their opponents are from the same league, so it's no stranger that Napoli can take advantage of their strengths to beat AC Milan.

An interesting draw, it goes both ways.
Real Madrid/Chelsea
Manchester City/Bayern Munich
I see that the 4 clubs have the ability, performance, and are even considered to be the clubs to be feared this season in the UCL.
Whereas
AC Milan/SSC Napoli
Benfica/Inter
even though this club is considered the best in the league, for me it is unlikely that the four clubs will be able to lift the UCL trophy this season.
I'm sure Madrid and Bayern will qualify for the semi-finals. Next Napoli and Benfica.
However, we will see the results from April 12.

I agree that Real Madrid and Napoli seem to qualify for the semi-final round because they will play against weaker teams.

How do you mean by real Madrid having to play against a weaker team? It's necessary I remind you that this is UCL and no team should be underrated especially not the likes of Chelsea who have had to beat through teams like Bayern, real Madrid, and even Barcelona at this very stage in their two UCL competition that they won in 2012 and 2021 and there's every possibility that such could repeat itself. Believe me man, Chelsea is a team to beat when it comes to the UCL.

Manchester City don't have a bad history against Bayern Munich. Now they are in much better condition thanks to Haaland. He put on an amazing show against Leipzig by scoring 5 goals and nearly breaking a record by himself. He will be the biggest threat to Bayern Munich. This time he won't find Lewandowski against himself to compete as well. If he makes difference in this matchup it will be really difficult for Bayern Munich to advance.

I think you have a good point here, but we shouldn't forget that Bayern Munich also has a good lineup. What gives Bayern the advantage, in my opinion, is the tactical commitment and winning mentality they always show against all competitors. Hence, this match will undoubtedly be the most exciting match in this round. On the other hand, the winner of this match will face the winner of Real Madrid and Chelsea in the semi-final. Real Madrid will most likely qualify considering the bad situation Chelsea have been suffering from this season, thus whoever qualifies from Man City and Bayern Munich will look for revenge from Real Madrid.
The odds look like favoring Man City in the first leg, which is normal as the match will take place in their stadium, but I can't underestimate Bayern in this match, because strong teams show their mentality and personality in matches like this.

[coinlocket$]

Yeah, City and Napoli are the most likely final.

Napoli at this moment is very strong and hard to beat, the right side of the matches table is very week so they can beat all of them.

[ILuckyGuyI]

This is really a very special season for Napoli as they can even make it to the finale with this level of performance.

It mostly depends on what team they will face until that round of course. They got a lucky draw for the quarter finals in fact. Milan are one of the teams that can eliminate as long as they apply their usual game plan. Napoli have already been much more successful than Milan in this season. They beat Milan in San Siro in the Serie A also. I expect them to eliminate Milan by winning both games here too. A finale like Manchester City - Napoli would definitely be interesting. But I just can't see a finale without Real Madrid for this season too.

[alpamar99]

This seems to be the case, however I would guess that Milan if forced to do it could choose to go for the Champions League and ignore their local league while Napoli cannot afford to do this, this could give a small edge to Milan as their players not only will be more focused on this tournament but they could even enjoy more rest as well and be on a better physical shape than the players of Napoli.

I actually think the opposite.
At the moment Napoli are in very comfortable conditions in their domestic league with an advantage of 18 points obviously this is something comfortable and can ignore Serie A for a while because indeed this will not be a problem either for them if they do that. it's just that this will not be able to do Milan.
Their position in the top 4 of Serie A is still very threatened so they are also in a difficult choice here.

[Rengga Jati]

Manchester City can do the thing PSG couldn't against Bayern Munich to be honest. I believe they have a bigger chance than PSG to eliminate them. Guardiola's system is way better than Galtier's that's for sure. PSG had a great trio in their hands but they just couldn't benefit from players like them. Their problem was definitely with the management so Galtier was at fault about that elimination I'm afraid.

When I saw the announcement of the quarter-final board and saw the list, I was really surprised.
Bayern - Man City will be the most interesting match in this quarter-final round. They are a strong team, no doubt, they are very tough on many fronts. I'm sure many people favor Man City because of Haaland, however, Bayern also has a very strong defense and fierce resistance. moreover, they have also been able to eliminate PSG, which has Mbappe and Messi. Therefore, it is still very difficult to determine who will be the winner of this match. Bayern was really unlucky because they had to face strong teams from the start.

[Moeda]

There might be a surprise this season in the UCL, namely Manchester City. Many predict that the UCL will fall into the hands of Manchester City this season. But how can you cross it out. Yes, of course dealing with Bayern Munich is not something easy for Manchester City. Even Bayern Munich has knocked PSG out of the UCL.

This prediction is not much different from what PSG predicted. Many think that PSG will win the UCL this season, arguing that a great trio can combine well, but in reality they can't do much in the UCL. Likewise with Manchester City with Haaland's ability. UCL matches are not individual matches, but how can they work well together in a match. Apart from that, we have watched together how Bayern's playing style is so fast, and has a solid back line. It's possible that Haaland's speed is more dominating than the Bayern defenders, but dangerous crossings will prevent him from moving freely. Apart from that, the experience at UCL is also the most important part.

But for Bayern Munich and Benfica, I am not sure that they will be easy to go to the next round. Man City has a strong squad, they even have Haaland as a machine goal now. I think Man City is stronger than Bayern Munich.

As I also explained earlier, Haaland is indeed one of the best players and can even be said to be a goal machine this season. But can the players move the same when Haaland is hindered continuously. Bayern is not a club that plays with a defensive style that can provide space for Manchester City by moving freely in Bayern's goal area. For me, Leipzig is not comparable to Bayern in terms of style of play. So it was quite difficult for Manchester City to get space to carry out attacks on Bayern's goal. Yes, that's just my view, maybe the reality will be reversed.

Even though Man City can beat Bayern Munich, King UCL Real Madrid will be waiting in the semifinals next (I'm sure Real Madrid will win against Chelsea).

I think it really depends on the outcome of the match between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. If Manchester City qualify for the semi-finals, then Madrid will have that chance, but if Bayern Munich qualify for the semi-finals, it may be difficult for Real Madrid to get the next ticket.

They always hype up Manchester City season in season out, but well all know how it always ends. When it comes to winning UCL, pedigree also matters a lot, and City don't have any. I wouldn't be surprised if Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter Milan or AC Milan lifts this one.

I will be here to remind people of how Manchester City bottled it up once again   

[nurilham]

I think you have a good point here, but we shouldn't forget that Bayern Munich also has a good lineup. What gives Bayern the advantage, in my opinion, is the tactical commitment and winning mentality they always show against all competitors. Hence, this match will undoubtedly be the most exciting match in this round. On the other hand, the winner of this match will face the winner of Real Madrid and Chelsea in the semi-final. Real Madrid will most likely qualify considering the bad situation Chelsea have been suffering from this season, thus whoever qualifies from Man City and Bayern Munich will look for revenge from Real Madrid.

Agree. Bayern players have a good mentality. Bayern Munich has better experience against a strong team, they already eliminated PSG in the previous round. So, if they will face Man City in this round, it is not really surprising for them. While for Man City, it may be a big pressure to play against Bayern Munich. Although Haaland is on fire in the last match, Bayern knows well how to deal with Haaland since he played for years in Bundesliga previously. However, it will be a tight match, both Man City and Bayern Munich have strong squads.

After being loaned out to Bayern Munich, Joao Cancelo will face his old team, Manchester City, in the UCL quarterfinal match. It will undoubtedly be difficult to witness the tie. Both Pep Guardiola and Julian Nagelsmann are good coaches who understand how to cope with competitive elite clubs. Betting on the game is challenging because both clubs are well-versed in the champions league, and their performances are magnificent and amazing with top-notch players.

This will be an emotional encounter for Joao Cancelo playing against City in the UCL quarter final. I am not so sure whether he will feature in this game but I am expecting a very interesting and entertaining game between this two giants and it just so unfortunate one of them will have to progress to the next round ahead of the other. I am definitely stacking my bets on Manchester City to progress to the next round.

[execijutiere]

When I look at the pairings, I see one match that can be called an early final and that is of course City vs Munich. Both teams were heavy favorites before the games started.
The matches are good in general and it is certain that we will watch matches with high viewing pleasure.I never even thought that I would watch an Italian derby in the quarterfinal matches in the Champions League.Milan-Napoli match is actually the side that will pass the round, but it will still be a good match.I think Napoli will comfortably pass the round.

This can clearly prove that indeed Cancelo is still worthy.
On the other hand, I also hope that Mane can play in this match because, seeing his condition, they see that Mane and Manchester City were rivals when he was at Liverpool as well as Haaland, who met Bayern when he was at Dortmund.
This is clearly going to be quite a dramatic match and worth watching.

Who would have thought that Bayern Munich would face Man City in the quarter-round after previously they also had to face a strong team? It's a very tough test for Bayern Munich this season. However, at least they could always produce surprising results. However, on the other hand, Man City is not a lowly team, they have quality players and extraordinary tactics on various fronts. So maybe this will make it more difficult for Bayern Munich later. It is also the same happened to Man City itself, they also got a very strong opponent in this quarter-final.

[Leviathan.007]

It seems that this season Napoli has a chance to qualify for the Champions League final after seeing the draw results in the quarter finals, Napoli against AC Milan on quarter final and the winning team against between the winner Benfica vs Inter Milan. Based on Napoli performance in domestic league success defeated Milan seems have chance success qualifying to semifinal and waiting between Benfica or Inter will be easy Napoli opponent..

Have advantage after looking quarter final drawing match because they will not face the winner between Manchester City vs Bayern Munich and Real Madrid vs Chelsea in semifinal, but Napoli have to win first against Milan if want have chance to semifinal or final stage.

Napoli performed very well during this season in both Serie A and in the champions league, also there are lucky because they are playing against AC Milan this team is also from Serie A and last time Napoli won the game against AC Milan with a 2-1 result, and during the last five games they had Nopali won three times and lost two times so I expect them to win the game in the champions league.

There have been predictions about Napoli winning the league, but those making those predictions should also take into account teams like Real Madrid, Bayern, and Manchester City. One thing I like about Napoli is that they never lose focus and they also have good motivation from their management, and they also have a very good defense. Let's see which team will win this match. I was also surprised to see Manchester City playing against Bayern. This match will not only be entertaining, but it will also be a battle between the two clubs. this season's winner will come as a surprise.

this time benfica was very lucky, they will play against inter, knowing that inter is a team that is not doing well, i think it is a good chance for benfica to win this game and move to another phase, in my opinion benfica is better than inter on paper, napoli was also very lucky to have to play against milan who are also another team that are not doing well in terms of performance, they have problems in attack and defense, while napoli has did very well in attack and defense

real madrid is also fine, they are going to play against chelsea which is also an unstable team like liverpool, maybe chelsea is a little worse than liverpool, that's why i hope that real madrid can win this game and pass for another phase, as for city against bayern, honestly i see city winning this game and managing to pass to another phase, city's biggest opponent that can cause them big headaches will be if they happen to be against real madrid, bayern is not strong like in the past
