UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[asriloni]

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.

I can't agree you'd called that real madrid has poor performance in la liga. Real madrid will not be placed in second place if it has a poor performance in la liga. The only problem is real madrid is always losing against barcelona. The inconsistency that was already faced by la liga was making it loses la liga trophy caused barcelona to be able to take full points from real madrid. Real madrid was focusing to the UCL caused by it had no chance anymore. To be honest, if real madrid is still having a chance the problem is if it does not even reach 5% of chance for madrid to winning la liga.
Putting its strength into something that can't be won will be actually useless. Ancelotti was putting UCL as another important trophy that needs to be won by madrid. Madrid never had an easy game against chelsea. The match against chelsea gonna be a tough game for madrid.

There is also another problem related to the attacking line. Real madrid can only rely upon benzema while benzema can't regularly play for real madrid due to the injury.
Ancellotti was ignoring so many suggestions to buy a good attacker last transfer season. This is also giving a huge impact on the performance of real madrid caused by benzema's back up rodrygo was not able to perform so well.

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.

Well, imo Napoli are the favorites to progress to the SF, they know their opponents very well as they play in the same league (Seria A), and they definitely have the quality of players to beat them. Napoli is the team that has surprised me the most in the CL this season, i actually thought their dominance would only reside in the Italian league, but they are bringing it into the CL, thus the coach and the players deserve an awful amount of credit.

Having said that, we also cannot write off AC Milan, on their own day they are a really tough side to face; and they'd even be happy that people expect them to lose, thus they'd perform under less pressure and would prolly give all of their best into it; the SF awaits one of this Italian teams, but we'd have to wait and see which of them gets there.

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.

yes, I agree that Napoli is now a good and strong team. but in the Champions League, Napoli is not as strong as when they were in Serie A. They got a strong team in Europe. but their opponents in the quarter-finals will be Milan, Napoli could just get the win and qualify for the next phase. maybe it will be different when Napoli has to face City or Madrid in the last 16. Napoli could have difficulty qualifying for this phase. yes, hopefully, Napoli's luck will continue to accompany them to the final match.

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.

Thomas Tuchel is a great coach, and the fact that he has been appointed just some days to their very important champions league game against Manchester City will put Pep on his toes. Thomas Tuchel is tactically smart just as Pep is and I am certain that he will be able to settle in quickly with his new job, the players and meet the expectations of the management really quickly. Now with his new appointment, the game between the two teams (Bayern and Manchester City) just became more unpredictable.

(thinking out loud)
If Chelsea somehow manage to go through Real Madrid and then Bayern on the other hand beat Manchester City, It will be Thomas Tuchel against Todd Boehly. Thomas Tuchel will want to ensure that Todd has no trophy's to celebrate this season.

[rendravolt]

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.

I am truly shocked to hear the news of Julian Nagelsmann's sacking this morning. I don't doubt why Bayern Munich's management fired him, in general coach Julian Nagelsmann was a very good coach and brought Bayern Munich to the quarter finals. On the other hand, Bayern Munich's performance in the domestic league is also very good, even though it had experienced several difficult matches before, but Julian Nagelsmann was able to overcome it all. I agree with your opinion, Bayern Munich should have given Julian Nagelsman a chance until the season ends, if this is the case, the new Bayern Munich coach, Thomas Tuchel, may have a little difficulty in aligning his players later.

While on paper it is seeming that Manchester City is the favourites to progress to the next level of the UEFA Champions League.
But in real life we need to be very sceptical and scared of the outcome of that results.
This is because unlike Bayern Munich, Manchester City Are always faced with a kind of confusion at the middle or beginning of some matches?

When Manchester City is playing clubs like Aston Villa in England, you would understand that they will at a time become confused and almost lose the match until they turn the match up again and win
But if such confusion happens in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, I am sorry that they might not be able to return back to winning.

At this stage it is still difficult to decide who wins the champions league trophy this season but I think the results of the quarter final stage will give a glimpse at who to expect to be champions at the end of the season. Right now I’m betting on Real Madrid.

He lacks experience, but it's not a weak team. It depends how they deal with it. I can tell you that at the moment their morale is skyrocketing, so they could reserve some big surprises in the Champions League as well: don't underestimate that.

[BRINIRHA]

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.

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 know Milan is more experienced in the Champions League. But this time I'm really not sure about Milan's performance. they even struggled to qualify from the last 16 round. Maybe Mentally Milan is superior. but in their current form of play which has been on the decline we should be able to see that there is a lot to improve in the Milan team. As for Napoli at the moment they have surprised us. not only in Serie A. but Napoli also appeared extraordinary in the Champions League. Even Napoli escaped from the group stage and round of 16 without significant obstacles. but there is still plenty of time for Milan to improve their team's performance. but neither are Napoli who will not let this good opportunity slip away from them.

Man city is in a good form and I think this match will be based on experience when the players are on field. Any team that losses focus or get confused based on the game pattern of its opponent will be defeated. I see Man city like a club that do get trap at the middle of the tournament due to lack of determination. Bayern is a club that are very desperate in whatever game they are playing,we have seen their previous performance in this league in the past years,all these put together makes me see that if Man city doesn't take this match more serious,they will be defeated.

The winner will be coming from the chelsea vs real madrid / bayern vs city's side. I saw if the winners from these matches will be having more chances to win UCL for sure. It seems like that if these days people are having so many faith in the result between these matches. It's unlikely another side that is already fulfilled by almost all of italian league has a chance to win UCL these seasons. It's caused by some strong teams in UCL competing with each other just like real madrid vs chelsea. I think that chelsea or madrid will be winning UCL this time.
These clubs have winner mentality that has not been owned by another team. it must be noted that if napoli was also never winning UCL. That being said that if chelsea vs madrid will become very very good match. Bayern with tuchel as a new coach is also having biggest chace to win UCL as well.

We did know that tuchel was winning UCL when he was coaching chelsea and I think that bayern's management was taking the risk by sacking naglesmann to put tuchel in caused by it was aiming for UCL.

When the draw took place I was quite surprised when I saw Napoli face AC Milan in the Champions League because I was quite worried that AC Milan could provide a lot of resistance for Napoli because Napoli is the strongest team right now not only in Serie A but in the Champions League they are also very strong this season. But yes these two representatives of Serie A will provide strong competition in the champions league and surely these two teams will play better than what they have in Serie A.

even for the next match I think these two teams will meet in the Serie A match Week 28 in both Napoli and Ac milan I think they have pretty good strength this season. So, if you look at experience, AC Milan has everything in the Champions League.

There is no doubt that Bayern is a strong team. Manchester City is also a very strong team. However, there are recent rumors that Bayern Munich has decided to sack their coach Nagelsmann. And sacking a coach before such an important Champions League match is a very risky decision. There is no way to say that coach Nagelsmann is a bad coach. He has done quite well with Bayern Munich. If Nagelsmann is sent off before the game against Manchester City, the impact will definitely be felt in the match. And I guess Guardiola will make good use of this opportunity and beat the Bayern Munich team.

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.

After having double in last season this year again their start was best but sadly due to injuries and having not suitable replacements they lost their momentum and also lost top rank in La Liga but still they are doing impressive in Champions League which is good for them and Ancelotti which is doing good in last few years here now after losing their chance into La Liga they are performing exceptionally in Champions League and now have quarter-final against badly struggling club Chelsea which done good in last few matches but still this is not enough for having spot into last four.

Winner of this match is going to face winner of Manchester City vs Bayern Munich which is also another big hurdle and here we can expect good performance from Real Madrid as well.

[naira]

And of all the clubs that qualify, maybe Napoli vs Milan and Benfica vs Inter will be a smoother path than watching the matches between Manchester City vs Bayern and Liverpool vs Madrid. As a strong competitor, Napoli are used to fighting Milan, even early next month in Serie A, the two will meet. So it's just a matter of looking at the difference in the strength of each one which is already very different.

Until now I still stand between Bayern and Manchester City. It is very difficult to make a choice where this season the two clubs have shown fantastic results. Whoever wins will have a big impact to continue advancing to the finals with full confidence.

I predict that this season Real Madrid has the potential to be without a title. It's not without reason that Los Blancos' performance is currently unstable, so almost the average Madrid player at this time seems to be running out of energy. The current Madrid squad is still heavily decorated with old players, they are getting old and can no longer be expected to perform as prime as last season.

In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been able to fly the white flag. For the Champions League, it is likely that Ancelotti's troops will only travel to the semifinals.

at least I have decided which one I will like the favorite of the 3 matches. namely Napoli, Benfica and Real Madrid. but for this 1 match, namely Man City vs Bayern, it is indeed more difficult for us to decide which one will be superior. however both of them have been outstanding in the Champions League even since the group stage be it Man City or Bayern. neither of them have lost yet. actually I want to favor Man City but if we remember how Bayern could beat PSG then I will be confused again. because it could be Bayern who will be favored in this match. but yeah, whoever wins from this match, I think, be it Bayern or Man City, then it looks like they will qualify for the final.

[shogun47]

That is the surprising part of the Champions League this season. The underdogs play very strong in their domestic leagues (Napoli and Benfica) and the big favorites are all not ranked first in their leagues and also have some struggle once in a while. This is the chance for some new team to finally become the Champions League winner this year. Usually you wouldn't say that Napoli or even Benfica have a chance to win it, but this is year it is a different situation. More and more I lean towards Napoli being the real favorite here. Usually I would have said Manchester City, but Napoli is working like a perfect engine. They are probably the opponent who is most uncomfortable for any team to play against. You just know their results and even though they don't have the biggest name in the soccer world, every other team now knows that they are extremely hard to beat.

I know most persons will love to experience an unexpected team win the Champions league but I doubt that because despite the top favourites having one or two poor performances here and there they seem to move their focus to the champions league and play better in the UCL. I think in the end one of the top favourites will still come out victorious.

But I think that the term "unexpected" is also a question of timing when you declare a team an unexpected or expected winner. Before this season started, not many would have thought that Napoli at this point in time would be among the top favorites for the Champions League title. That is why Napoli would still be an unexpected to winner to me, looking at it from a pre season standpoint. And considering their whole season and performances (actually no luck, just skill), they would be a well deserved winner in the end if they are able to keep their level until the very end.

Whenever two heavyweight teams like this meet, it is more often than not difficult to call. Anyway the two teams haven't really been at their exceptional best this season, they are both in second position in their respective leagues, but i know that wouldn't matter in this CL encounter.

There is news that Bayern Munich are on the verge of firing Julian Nagelsmann and replacing him with Thomas Tuchel, i do not know why they are changing their manager at this pivotal moment in the season, with important games coming up for them against Dortmund and Manchester City, whatever the board has in mind, i do hope it works for them, because i think City might actually have the advantage in this game because of this, the new manager might not have ample time to study his players and know what is the best way to win this QF tie.

Napoli have been unpredictable this season, not only in the Champions League, even in Serie A, in my opinion, they have been unexpected by having a very large difference in points than the other teams. Napoli have great hopes of being able to talk more in the Champions League this season, moreover they also have a great chance to advance to the next round after they met AC Milan in the draw. And it's also very likely that if they can qualify they will meet another Serie A team.

This will be a bad season for Ancelotti and his players during this season, he is an experienced and honorable coach in Real Madrid also he got many superstar players on his team which can a reason to say people expect much more from him and his team, he lost the Laliga and there is not much hope for his team, also we cannot be sure if, with the current performance of Real Madrid, they can win the title of the champions league in this season.
