UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[hahay]

Even though Real Madrid and Chelsea are big teams, but at this moment I don't get a good opinion of Chelsea. So, even though this is a big match, but I am very sure that Real Madrid will still win this match to qualify for the semifinals.

Because usually, when there is a big match, the choice will be difficult, like the match between Bayern Munich v Manchester City, this match makes us not gain full confidence to choose Bayern Munich or Manchester City. But for Real Madrid, I have complete confidence that Real Madrid will still win in the first and second leg.

Real Madrid is a ahead of Chelsea this season no doubt, but you need go back to check what happened in their recent meetings in champions league just in the past two seasons, You would see that Chelsea have got a brilliant performance against Madrid.
Despite the fact that Chelsea is not really in their good form in premier league, Still they were able to win Dortmund and got qualified.
So as Champions League seem to be their only trophy hope this season, I do think they're gonna come out to play with full strength against Madrid.

Even though in the second leg last season Chelsea beat Real Madrid, but the reality is that last season Real Madrid was still the team that qualified for the next round. In fact, last season Chelsea's performance was in good performance with Tuchel, but Chelsea still failed to get rid of Real Madrid for the second time in the last two seasons.

Also, at this moment you can compare Liverpool to Chelsea. If Liverpool looks better than Chelsea, but in fact Liverpool does not have the ability to beat Real Madrid. So, what about Chelsea basically this season not being any better than Liverpool, then I think it's clear that Chelsea won't be able to do much to beat Real Madrid.

Tuchel and Guardiola again, this makes the tie more interesting.i have this theory in my head of bayern eliminating Manchester City,then meeting Chelsea at the semis,and eliminating them too,that will make a good headline,and I feel that might just be the case.

I don't even think like that. Do you think bayern's players can adapt to the strategy that was formed by tuchel instantly? There were no lots of changes happening in city. Tuchel knows so well the weak spot owned by city. Facing tuchel for the second time may become a nightmare for guardiola. I don't know whether he will be taking this as another huge challenge or not since tuchel was beating manchester city in the final of ucl 2020/2021.

Bayern will face dortmund and freiburg in DFB pokal. Let's see how good tuchel will be managing bayern munchen as his new club. He has got very big pressures caused by bayern having two trophies that need to be won.
We will not able to speculate the result of bayern vs city if we didn't even see how good or bad bayern is under tuchel.

We know Real Madrid had a much better performance than Chelsea during this season. In the Spanish league, they still compete with Barcelona for the title, and Ancelotti had a good performance in Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Potter is on the verge of being fired and Chelsea had a poor performance in the Premier League, where they are in the middle of the table and do not seem to have much hope.
But still, we can't tell if Real Madrid wins the game because of the previous performance we saw or not.

The Real Madrid team has taken the Champions League very seriously this time. As a result, the team performed somewhat poorly in La Liga. However, even if they do poorly in the Laliga, there is enough potential to move forward. However, the upcoming match with Chelsea will do great things for Real Madrid.

[Distraction]

This is like a last chance for Potter. I mean I assume Chelsea need to win the Champions League title for Potter to be able to stay here.

However this is a really far possibility in my opinion. I remember the 2020/21 season in which Chelsea weren't being counted on to make it to the title. But Tuchel was a great tactician and he prepared really great strategies which carried them to the championship. Everyone was surprised. But I don't expect the same performance this time. Potter doesn't have the same kind of strategies that can help them be that much successful now. They are still a very inconsistent team about scoring multiple goals in a match or keeping a clean sheet.

Tuchel and Guardiola again, this makes the tie more interesting.i have this theory in my head of bayern eliminating Manchester City,then meeting Chelsea at the semis,and eliminating them too,that will make a good headline,and I feel that might just be the case.

So what happens if Pep Guardiola succeeds in breaking your assumptions and desires about Bayern Munich?
Your theory is actually a matter of probability, but you also have to pay attention to other possibilities because Manchester City is not an easy team. In other cases, Tuchel has failed in the Premier League with Chelsea and so far Bayern Munich is another team that might also fail at his hands.

Bayern Munich is a great team, Pep Guardiola also failed with him in the Champions League. Tuchel is good, but I doubt he will repay people's faith in the Champions League this season by going through to the semi-finals to the final. It's a shame, I believe Manchester City will reach the semi final regardless of how Bayern Munich are at the moment.

AC Milan were unfortunately eliminated from the Champions League. AC Milan put up a great fight with Tottenham but despite their best efforts, AC Milan failed to secure a quarter-final victory.

The match in the quarter finals hasn't happened yet and there's no need to be that sure even though Napoli are currently very strong and it's very likely that Milan will be eliminated but still their chance is still there now at least if they focus on the Champions League their chance is still there to try to make the match a success. tie in 2 legs.
Sounds a bit difficult but when it comes to surprises like this one hope is still there.

[RockBell]

I read several comments about Chelsea's coach being given too much of a chance because Chelsea's performance is not currently in a good shape. Let's see what the faith of Chelsea's coach will be after seeing that Bayern Munich fired their coach despite having quite some success in the Bundesliga with about 53 points, a record of two losses and three wins in their last five matches, and despite that the management feels Julian Nagelsmann is nothing performing well is not even up to two years that he was appointed.

[rahmad2nd]

Apart from the game between Manchester City and Bayern Munich I think the next big game will be between Chelsea and Real Madrid and I am certain this game will be widely anticipated by football lovers around the world, also Chelsea will need to be at their best because this will be a tougher test than playing against Dortmund.

Many people are already looking forward to this big match because the depth of the squad for Man City or Bayern Munich has the same defense. Plus the issue of Tuchel who will become the new coach will clearly play an important role in breaking into Man City's defense. For Real Madrid's match against Chelsea, for me, this is quite difficult, even though Chelsea is in doubt about its performance in the Premier League. But we will surely be surprised by Potter who will openly focus on the Champions League this season.

I think otherwise, Bayern Munich's progress to the next round phase will be stopped by The Citizen. although as we know, it can actually be said that these two teams are equally strong. but what happens within Bayern Munich could become a new problem in the future, because the dismissal of Nagelmanss carried out by Bayern Munich's management is something that smells of controversy. then is it possible, just because Thomas Tuchel becomes Bayern's new coach, will automatically beat Manchester City. is it that easy, or does Pep not have as great an ability as Tuchel. even I feel, this is too much.

I hope that after the change of coach Bayern Munich will not experience significant obstacles. I mean, have no problems with the team's overall performance. because what Baryern Munich's management is doing can have a negative impact, it could even be more than that, Bayern will experience a decline in performance. by the way, this is just my personal assumption and speculation and does not describe what will happen next.

For the Madrid vs Chelsea match, I won't have much to comment on for now. at least, we will first witness these two teams carry out their matches in their domestic league.

It's only natural that many would say that when looking at Chelsea's current performance, because they sacked Thomas Tuchel even quicker after Chelsea didn't go the way they wanted. But Graham Potter now has a lot of opportunities from Chelsea even though he failed to bring Chelsea even better. Even I think Thomas Tuchel is better than their coach now. It's possible that Chelsea's management doesn't want to rush into sacking, because they don't want to feel the same way after they fired the previous coach.

I actually think it is more probable that Manchester City is going to beat Bayern Munich. On the other hand, Bayern Munich beating Manchester City is actually a possibility here. Because I believe Manchester City is the better team. And even if I don't say a better team, I have to say the form of Manchester City is better compared to Bayern Munich.

Thomas Tuchel will receive contracts in the next hours to sign as new Bayern coach — contract will be valid until June 2025, two year & half deal as expected. #FCBayern

First training session, on Monday.

Tuchel didn’t hesitate — he was leading candidate and wanted the job.

I think this decision was very sudden especially because Julian Nagelsmann has successfully brought Bayern Munich to this stage. But good, this is good news for Manchester City and not bad news.

I read in an article Guardiola have a five wins against Tuchel in their ten matches, meanwhile Tuchel was only able 3 wins and the rest match with a draws. This is a good statistics for Guardiola, also current Manchester City squad is really great, so I also assume that is good news for Manchester city. Previously I predicted Bayern Munich would be able to stop Manchester City in UCL, but now I'm not too sure.

I personally think, that the chances of Bayern Munich, to advance into the semi final of the Champions League have become higher, now that Thomas Tuchel is their coach and not less like you suggest. In my opinion Tuchel is just a better football coach than Nagelsmann. So far in this season Bayern Munich was performing well in the Champions League, but that was mostly because in CL games players are motivated anyway so that is not a big achievement of the coach.
Also i think that the ten matches of Guardiola vs Tuchel also include a few when Pep was coach of Bayern and Tuchel of Borussia Dortmund. Obviously Pep has won more of those matches because Bayern is just a way stronger team than Borussia Dortmund. So those statistics does not mean that much.

[LUCKMCFLY]

PSG had plenty of chances to take the lead against Bayern Munich, which actually didn't play well at all. De Ligt's role was especially important, he removed a ball on the line. Otherwise it would have become 0-1 and then you get a completely different game. Then PSG would have really had a great chance to progress. It was of course the cracker of the eighth finals, and the fact is that PSG again failed to win the CL. Would players still want to stay? You have stars in this team but no star team. Real Madrid could also go far, but the draw is after the next round next week.

I agree that Bayern Munich was not as dominate as the end result may suggest but i also don't think that PSG really had plenty of chances to take the lead. They maybe had 2 chances to score in the first half and the biggest one of those was after that huge mistake of Bayerns goalkeeper but, as you already said, De Ligt saved the ball from the line.
In the second half though Bayern was the better team and if we are looking at both games, then i think it was completely deserved that Bayern Munich advanced into the next round.

This is another huge blow for Paris Saint Germain and i think it is possible that this is the end of that big star team. Messi does not want to stay, Mbappe also wants to leave probably and PSG already wanted to sell Neymar before the start of this season.

Well here the mistake was made by all of PSG as a team, they did not know how to balance the advantage they wanted to take, they have the best players in the world, they have the best and the second best, but they could not, obviously something is wrong there, and it is the director coach who didn't know how to manage, if you have the best stars in the world gathered in a team and you don't win, it's obviously not the fault of the stars, it's the fault of the one who leads them, in fact it seems very strange to me that last season they didn't do without the services of the PSG coach, I would have fought to have Zidane, because they have the money to pay for him.

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.

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

For me, City has a break between Haaland and Pep Guardiola, they already take Him out Twice when the player is more active, and that has put Haalan in a bad mood, everyone speculates that Pep is Taking care of Messi's record, now for On the other hand, Bayern is very focused and will not Let anything in the world Win, it will be a very Difficult game, it is actually a very good duel between these two teams, they will be the best and they will have many benefits when a team scores the goal, because it will generate a Lot of confidence , it all depends on how they will face this tremendous game.

Erling Haaland 'burden' on dressing room claims and Man City exit plan outlined by dad

Erling Haaland may be settling into life at Manchester City and breaking club records with every new week at the Etihad Stadium, but there are concerns the striker's heroic exploits won't last long in the Premier League. The players' father Alfie has been open in outlining their plans to take Haaland on what is essentially a tour around Europe as he aims to play for the biggest clubs in the world.

This is like a last chance for Potter. I mean I assume Chelsea need to win the Champions League title for Potter to be able to stay here.

However this is a really far possibility in my opinion. I remember the 2020/21 season in which Chelsea weren't being counted on to make it to the title. But Tuchel was a great tactician and he prepared really great strategies which carried them to the championship. Everyone was surprised. But I don't expect the same performance this time. Potter doesn't have the same kind of strategies that can help them be that much successful now. They are still a very inconsistent team about scoring multiple goals in a match or keeping a clean sheet.

Thomas Tuchel is great tactician after success bring Chelsea winning Champion League trophy season 2020/2021, but his capacities questionable after Chelsea have inconsistent performance and his position replacing by Graham Potter. Seems most terrible with Chelsea performance under Graham Potter era than Thomas Tuchel but Chelsea success qualify to quarter final in Champion League.

After sacking by Chelsea, right now Thomas Tuchel have official announce as new Bayer Munich manager, will he be success extended 100% win record from Bayern Munich on next round? or Bayern Munich will disappointed after sacking Julian Nagelsmann have been success give fantastic winning trend in champion league.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

It's only natural that many would say that when looking at Chelsea's current performance, because they sacked Thomas Tuchel even quicker after Chelsea didn't go the way they wanted. But Graham Potter now has a lot of opportunities from Chelsea even though he failed to bring Chelsea even better. Even I think Thomas Tuchel is better than their coach now. It's possible that Chelsea's management doesn't want to rush into sacking, because they don't want to feel the same way after they fired the previous coach.

Todd Boehly has a project with Graham Potter so we should stop thinking the club will fire a manager when they know what they're doing. Immediately they see that the project won't work with Graham Potter, they'll have him fired and hire a new manager. For now we just have to trust the management of the club, already they have invested so much that if they allow the club to fail they'll be the ones to be affected the most, they could lose partnerships, sponsorships etc and all this will affect the revenue of the club. Thomas Tuchel had success with Chelsea wasn't totally on his coaching skills but because it the players that was built by Lampard.

We already had the talents and he just came in to do few amend and it worked out for him. Chelsea gave Thomas Tuchel his first champion league trophy and not the other way round which is something he couldn't do with PSG. Sometimes it isn't about the managers coaching but are the players ready to play for the manager. We could see the difference when the players played what was instructed to them by Graham Potter, Chelsea are now in the quarter finals of the competition and that's something many people didn't see happening. Just as they doubted Chelsea ability to defeat Dortmund so they're doubting us defeating Real Madrid forgetting that we won them the last time we meant.

[Silberman]

I read several comments about Chelsea's coach being given too much of a chance because Chelsea's performance is not currently in a good shape. Let's see what the faith of Chelsea's coach will be after seeing that Bayern Munich fired their coach despite having quite some success in the Bundesliga with about 53 points, a record of two losses and three wins in their last five matches, and despite that the management feels Julian Nagelsmann is nothing performing well is not even up to two years that he was appointed.

It's possible that Chelsea's management doesn't want to rush into sacking, because they don't want to feel the same way after they fired the previous coach.

This is one of the only explanation that make sense to try to justify the actions of the management of Chelsea, some fans and some players liked Tuchel but the management still got rid of him and then they brought Potter, and while the results of Potter have not been good they are afraid that if they fire him then they will be admitting in a way that they made a mistake by hiring Potter, and this is a mistake they cannot even try to avoid as they were to ones to make that decision, so they are hoping that somehow the performance of Chelsea improves and they do not have to fire Potter and admit their mistakes.

This statistic does not give Manchester City an advantage over Bayern Munich in their quarterfinal matchup, but they should be better prepared now that a coach with more Champions League experience has taken over at Bayern Munich. The match will be more interesting now that we have two experienced coaches who will want to add to their head-to-head wins.

Why do you think so? What would Tuchel now change that Bayern Munich did wrong against PSG? Bayern won 8 out of 8 Champions League games this season. They have delivered big time in the Champions League or did you think that it was close against PSG at some point? It might even be the opposite when Tuchel decides to put some players on the bench that played before. There might be some turmoil in the team as they have to get along with each other in perhaps a new formation. We will see what he is going to do, but I completely disagree that there could be some "obvious Tuchel effect" such that Bayern beats Manchester City. It could have happened the same way with Nagelsmann.

[CLS63]

I think Bayern Munich's changing their manager is a really significant move just before facing Manchester City here. It can upset the balances very much I mean. I was really surprised to hear about the news first. Because I wasn't expecting any such move from Bayern Munich team while they were in a title race in both tournaments - Bundesliga and Champions League.

But this can result in really positive for Bayern Munich as well. Because Tuchel knows the Bundesliga teams very well. He would be able to adapt to Bayern Munich quickly I assume. Even his experience would be enough for him to do so. Guardiola doesn't have a very good history against Tuchel in the Champions League as well. You know how Chelsea defeated Manchester City in the Champions League finale in the 2020/21 season.
