UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Uruhara]

Definitely, playing against Bayern Munich is a lot more tougher than playing against Leipzig and Manchester will need to be at their best performance to scale past this one. Bayern Munich have been unbeaten in the Champions league this season so I am not expecting an easy test for Manchester city in this meeting, hopefully Guardiola will be depending on Haaland to be at his best also to help them defeat Bayern Munich.

Against Bayern is a nightmare in the Champions League. even PSG, which is filled with star players, must admit Bayern's superiority over them. Bayern have never even lost since the group stage and also in the round of 16. Bayern won all the matches in the group stage and in the round of 16 without leaving a draw there. that's an achievement that I think is difficult for other teams to emulate. so I see that even Man City will have difficulty competing against Bayern in the quarter-finals later. if Mbappe and Messi can be overcome by Bayern. then they can certainly handle a Haaland too. this might be a tough match. but I see Bayern could be superior.

Benfica - Inter matchup is a candidate to be a really competitive one honestly. Besides it has been a very long time since these teams played against each other the last time. I mean it was like 19 years ago.    Therefore I'm curious about which side can outweigh the other here. I guess they would like to weigh themselves first in the first leg. The match is in Portugal so Inter would play more safe I assume.

It would be for the benefit of them also. Because Benfica are a team that are really strong in their attacking line. They have been really productive so far in the season. They need to get as good advantage as possible home to be able to do better in Italy later on. But it is still doubtful if they can do this or have the same scenario as Porto.

Obviously, Bayern Munich is no small nor a pushover team and Manchester City do need to be at their very best in order to defeat them. It wouldn’t be an easy game, that’s for sure.

Personally, I don’t see Pep depending solely on a player and I wouldn’t advise depending on a single player. Haaland is a great player and a good finisher, no doubt but he still needs the help of his teammates in order to score goals. And I believe Manchester City could still play really well without the help of Haaland on the squad. But with Haaland on the squad, it would somewhat increase their chances at a win.

Every day strange things happen in football. This thing are enough to give us reasons not to doubt the football possibilities. Liverpool in EPL we're doing exceptionally great after winning Manchester united, but meeting a club like zbobemouth who is already close in relegation zone.
What I'm saying in essence is that Bapoli can wake up not to see this match in their favor . AC Milan is also a well known giant team in Italy.

That is why, Milan needs more than usual performance. If their performance is still the same as what they are so far, this will not be good for them. Moreover, Napoli is really in their high motivation. I know that nothing is impossible and some time, everything can happen with any surprises. But this must be also some reasons. As long as Milan can play much better, it is probably. But, football is more thn it is.

Bayern Munich can be more dangerous than any team in the Champions League because they won the game against PSG with many stars they and they had a good performance against this team. Bayern Munich is also busy with racing with Dortmund in Bundesliga but they can still give some players rest in the games whenever they can to shave a fresh team against Manchester City in the champions league.

Absolutely, Bayern Munich is the favorite team to win UCL and they have a good squad. They eliminated PSG in the previous round with aggregate 3-0. These simply show how strong Bayern Munich is. Fo me, Bayern Munich has a bigger chance to win and qualify for the next round. I don't underestimate Man City and Pep Guardiola. Man City has Haaland, Bruyne, and other top players. But it isn't enough to defeat Bayern Munich because they have better luck and experience in UCL competition.

[Docnaster]

Given that everyone assumes that Manchester City will easily defeat Bayern, despite the fact that Bayern also has a strong record, and despite the fact that Manchester City is a good team, I often feel that the team is overhyped. I know they are good, but they also have clubs and good players who score goals, so don't be surprised if Manchester City doesn't even sniff the trophy this season. But good luck to them when they resume back the league.

I think the recent performance of Manchester City and perhaps the also amount of goals scored in their recent games is what’s edging people on to think that Manchester City would defeat Bayern though not as easily as you say. Bayern Munich is a big team with equally amazing players as Manchester City. Even without Lewandoski who I think was their star player, they’re still playing great football with Mane.
I actually won’t be surprised if Manchester City doesn’t win the game against Bayern or go ahead to win the trophy at the end. This is football where the result could go either ways and in this case, both teams are equally strong. What is sure is that the game would be an interesting one.

Over the years, UEFA Champions League results has proven that to progress in the competition you must have a good knowledge of how play in the competition. As a matter it's over two decades that  first-timer won the club football's biggest trophy so it'll take Manchester City a whole lot to do it this season. Their match against Bayern Munich won't be an easy one for city as people might think because the Bayern Munich team I've seen pkay this season has a never give up mentality. Pep Guardiola would want to make history but I don't think it'll be an easy task for them

What happened with Bayern they have sacked Negalsmann and appointed Tuchel as their new coach. this is a strategy that I think the management of bayern munich is very focused on the champions league for this season. Tuchel is a great coach he has a pretty good strategy in his coaching career.  one of these factors may be their preparation to face Manchester City in the quarter-finals and most likely the match between Bayern Munich vs Manchester City will be even more fierce with the presence of Tuchel in the Bayern Munich team.

I think Tuchel will be a coach who is quite influential for the team he coaches, especially in the Champions League where Tuchel was very successful with Chelsea after delivering the UCL trophy in the 2020-2021 season. So, can Tuchel make another surprise in the Champions League this season, it's worth watching.

Bayern Munich has more chances to qualify for the next round. There other good performing teams in the Champions league but the effort and strength from Bayern Munich is different. Looking from the success of other teams in their games this season,  Bayern Munich has done better, this give them more edge of becoming the champions of champions league. Manchester City have also performed well this season but I'm not sure if they can win champions league this season.

Indeed, in this case something that can be said to be impossible can happen, but as long as Milan's performance is like it is now and Napoli is still showing its dominance, it is clear that this will be very difficult for Milan.
They have met several times this season in the domestic league and both teams already know each other's weaknesses and strengths considering they are in the same league.
Conditions like this will obviously be very difficult for Milan, especially with Napoli's current condition.

The funny thing about the champions league is that no one seems to care much about Chelsea or Milan, and instead, the teams that are getting the most attention are Manchester City, Real Madrid, Napoli, and Bayern. Everyone is currently anticipating the next round of the champions league, and talking about Real Madrid playing against Chelsea just gives real Madrid  another advantage in the league  because is a sure win, knowing  already  that la liga is already at the tips of Barcelona finger already.
Is already  a zero chance for Chelsea to win because  Madrid will channel  all energy  to the champions league.

The UEFEA competition is mainly for elite clubs with full incredible performance. Countlessly are aiming at the cup but there are clubs that have high points of probability to lift the cup, team like Real Madrid. It's on a different level when we see the Los blancos performance in UCL games, they're serious compared to other European clubs. Talking about Chelsea having a zero chance to beat real Madrid, I absolutely think we should wait until the Los blancos eliminate the blues from UCl before jumping into conclusion.

We shall try to realize haaland as a player that was always losing against Bayern. I do believe that haaland will be doing what he can to beat bayern. Bayern is far superior compared to manchester city. I'd liked to see this match final match but it comes even earlier than what i thought before.
Bayern was also trying to take the new coach as a way to beat manchester city. The new contract for tuchel is already expected to be clear next days. This gonna be another epic comeback for him against city while city has beaten by chelsea in the final two years ago.
It seems so hard to know which team that's gonna win the match. Pep must have faced tuchel again which is bad for him. Bayern is coming up with different strategy that will make its opponnet. unfamiliar with it.

I will try to pick bayern instead of city. Tuchel was also increasing my confidence with my choice. that's very very good match to be waited.

let's see how tuchel will be preventing haaland to make so many goals. Bayern is now having some good defenders.

Bayern Munich has a new manager in the person of Thomas Tuchel and that should be a big worry for Manchester City as a team and Erling Haaland as their star striker because Thomas Tuchel is known for how well he drills his defense line
Before now, I was expecting Manchester City to defile all odds and beat Bayern which I know would have been a difficult task for them but now that Thomas Tuchel has taken over it will be more difficult task for the Citizens. The tie will be Pep Guardiola's biggest test of the season and he must prove to Manchester City's heirarchy that he's equal to the task

[OcTradism]

Bayern Munich has a new manager in the person of Thomas Tuchel

Bayern Munich sack Julian Nagelsmann and prepare to appoint Thomas Tuchel.

Nagelsman was sacked because of Bayern poor performance in Bundesliga and they can lose it in this season to Dortmund. It is not familiar feeling for Bayern Munich as they easily dominate Bundesliga in many seasons and in its long history.

that should be a big worry for Manchester City as a team and Erling Haaland as their star striker because Thomas Tuchel is known for how well he drills his defense line

Maybe Bayern Munich hope that Tuchel will repeat his success with Chelsea. He brought Chelsea to their second Champions League after joining them in middle of season. Some coaches have very special traits and destiny and maybe Tuchel will be considered as a golden alternative coach if he brings Bayern to Champions League title in next 2 months.

Before now, I was expecting Manchester City to defile all odds and beat Bayern which I know would have been a difficult task for them but now that Thomas Tuchel has taken over it will be more difficult task for the Citizens. The tie will be Pep Guardiola's biggest test of the season and he must prove to Manchester City's heirarchy that he's equal to the task

Even without appearance of Tuchel (he has yet been appointed), Manchester City would feel fearful when the opponent is Bayern Munich. I don't think Tuchel can help Bayern Munich too much to control Haaland. He left Bundesliga many seasons ago and did not work there when Haaland joined Bundesliga. However, I am not doubtful about Tuchel ability and perhaps he is a better coach than Nagelsman.

I cannot call Julian Nagelsmann an inexperienced coach. He has been able to stabilize the Bayern Munich team. Although Bayern Munich faced big problems after Lewandowski left the team, now the team is very stable. And it was possible because of Julian Nagelsmann. However, the Munich management decided to sack him. Julian Nagelsmann should not be sacked by the Munich manager right now. Because in the Champions League match, they will play against Manchester City in next match. In this situation, Thomas Tuchel does not seem to be able to win such a high-voltage match in the beginning if he takes charge of the team. The Munich management should have sacked Julian Nagelsmann next season.

Madrid will be the favorite in Real Madrid vs Chelsea match. Because even though the Chelsea team is strong, their performances this season have been erratic. The new coach has not stabilized the team yet. And if the performance is unstable, it will become more difficult to win against a big team like Real Madrid. Madrid coach Ancelotti is very smart. He knows very well how to prepare a Champions League match strategy.

With many combination of factors, from history, recent forms, players they have, coaches they have, Real Madrid are stronger than Chelsea. Both clubs seem to have no interest in their domestic leagues. With Real Madrid, it's impossible to catch Barcelona and with Chelsea, it's impossible to catch top four.
In Champions League, they have due chances to win it and only a few matches will decide they are winner in this season or not. Real Madrid have a very good coach with long successful experience in Champions League. I have to mention that Carlo Ancelotti is a coach that helped Real Madrid to end their bad streak of many seasons in Champions League and made their Decima (10th Champions League) dream becomes true. A rest of story belong to history as they won 4 more in recent years.

I agree with you. Madrid and Chelsea are unlikely to do well in the domestic league. Real Madrid is now 12 points behind Barcelona. It has become almost impossible for Madrid to continue the title fight with Barcelona. And so now they will definitely want to win the Champions League title. On the other hand, Chelsea's position in the Premier League is very weak. Out of 27 matches, the team managed to win only 10 matches. Although Chelsea is back in a bit of form now, I consider Madrid as the favorite against Chelsea. My prediction is that Madrid will win both matches against Chelsea.

As long as Milan can play much better, it is probably. But, football is more thn it is.

I don't doubt when we talk about the champions league, Milan is always good when they play in that event because they only have mental champions which Napoli doesn't have. We know Napoli is good in Local League, it's so much different which Milan because they have lost 1-2 when meet before, and maybe get lost also in the 2nd meet on Seri A. but, when we talk about the champions league, Milan won't just let it go, because Milan has 7 trophies, they have menttaly champions and will try to add one more time.

I cannot agree with you. Have you seen Napoli's performance in the Champions League this season? Napoli played well in every match. Dominated both matches against Frankfurt in the Round of 16. They also qualified for the round of 16 by winning the first 5 matches of the group stage. Napoli topped Group A. After performing so well, how do you say this team is not good in the Champions League? Maybe in the past, the Napoli team did not do well in the Champions League. But this season the scenario is completely different.

As Napoli have been performing since the start of the season, they have the potential to secure victory in the quarter-final match. Because a great confidence has been created among the players of the team. And confidence works great in the game of football. Analyzing everything, it is understood that the chances of securing the victory of Napoli in the quarter-finals of the Champions League are very high.

Real Madrid are currently performing very poorly in La Liga. But I think one of the reasons for this poor performance is that they are currently focusing more on the Champions League. However, despite their poor performance in La Liga, Real Madrid are in a good position. That is why Real Madrid is more focused on the Champions League and wants to ensure victory in the quarter-final match.
