UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[sovie]

Munich will also be quite difficult to score in the match later. since the group phase, Man City has only conceded against Dortmund and Sevilla when playing at home. and that's not more than 1 goal. Man City is very strong when playing at home. so the first leg is most likely Man City will get the win even with few goals. even without conceding. that could have been avoided by Munich if they played tight by locking up the fearsome front line of Man City. but obviously, it takes some hard work.

This record makes Manchester City even more favored against Bayern Munich later. The possibility of Bayern Munich scoring more goals seems very small, they have to strengthen their defense more so they don't concede many goals. But still, the two teams have almost the same style of play, they are very strong in attack and also strong in defense. Moreover, the presence of Thomas Tuchel as the new coach will certainly have a significant impact on the Die Roten squad. Tuchel is a visionary coach I'm sure he will not stay silent and focus more on attacking games for Bayern Munich.

Manchester City is surely big threat for the Bayern Munich and their title hopes in this season because Pepe is at the top with his strategy and things are clearly favouring him for this title as this could be their first title in years, and they are going to break barriers for this all Haaland is at his best with productivity of goals from him in this season clearly makes him best striker in business even many feeling changes of coach can help Bayern Munich for having better results in coming matches specially in Champions League, but this is not easy as we have on papers even he is visionary coach with his own strategy and game plan.

Pepe's understanding of Bayern Munich game play is also going to help him and with this experience he can bring better result in this match while their focus is currently just Champions League and their all power is also going to use here which will give them positive end of this season.

The Champions League quarter-final matches will be highly competitive. But Manchester City and Real Madrid are the most likely in this league so far. It is expected that any one of these two teams will play the final. Because these two teams are the most qualified.

Chelsea performance may improve before the match but still I am not seeing Chelsea qualifying to next around and knock out Real Madrid this season, all this is due to Chelsea weak finishers, infact Chelsea is not that bad in term of ball possession but seriously lacks finishing players, so they do play in term of ball possession but always lack of scorers.Therefore, I can confidently predict that Real Madrid will defeat Chelsea because I am unable to predict who will get past Real Madrid's formidable defense and go on to score goals for Chelsea.

Currently, Chelsea having some good number of individuals but sadly their coach fail to do things as they needed which is the biggest problem if we have better suitable coach then surely we can expect good result against Real Madrid as well after stunning performance against Dortmund, but Graham Potter is having not solid strategy and his changes during matches are also not giving him any advantage which is surely problem for his team's performance.

Real Madrid is surely doing amazing stuff which is helping them for having second spot into La Liga, and they stun Liverpool in their style as well which make them big threat for the Chelsea future in Champions League in this season.

Chelsea Potter era is very low in quality compared to when trained by Tuchel. I am still pessimistic about Chelsea's current performance who will face Real Madrid. The Chelsea versus Dortmund match is a different match, the quality of the two is almost the same so the victory of the Blues over the German representative is not something extraordinary.

Real Madrid still lowered his best squad when serving Chelsea. Despite having a myriad of experienced players, Ancelotti is still aware of Potter forces. Los Blancos has the ambition to continue to advance to the next round.

If you look at Chelsea overall appearance this season, there has been a relatively strong decline compared to the previous season. This is none other than because historically they have experienced a transition of major changes in their squad due to the large signings in the transfer window and changes in coaches making Chelsea need time to find a match for their game strategy again.

When they beat Dortmund in the second leg I was pretty sure they found form but that didn't happen as they lost another domestic league game.

Therefore I am also very pessimistic that Chelsea will be able to beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. Even though real madrid has also been in an unstable condition lately, I think they are very strong in the champions league.

All teams that have progressed to the quarter finals of the champions league are capable of winning the title, they basically just have to play only 5 games more to lift the trophy which is the two legs in quarter and semi finals then the finals. You can't tell me Chelsea doesn't have quality players in their squad, what you could say is we lack the experience which is very true because even our coach hasn't won a champion league before but so was Thomas Tuchel when he came to Chelsea.

We have the players who are worthy of been called champions of Europe. We already have previous champions in the squad and the additional forces we have are quite capable of defeating Real Madrid. Real Madrid aren't even upto the form they were when the lifted the trophy last season. We just have to take this first leg very serious and since Real Madrid will be at home, they'll be under more pressure to win so we can take advantage of that and counter attack them while they press us even though that's not their style but I feel they'll want to have more of the ball to dominate since they're playing at home.

Thomas Tuchel have good reputation in Champion League after success winning this tittle when becoming Chelsea manger on first time season, not only with Chelsea Tuchel have good experienced when success bring PSG to final Champion League stage although defeated by Bayern Munich.

Speculation about Bayern Munich performance in Champion League keep 100% winning record on quarter final or new manager Thomas Tuchel failed keep winning trend for Bayern under Julian Nagelsmann era, Manchester City is not easy against team on quarter final for Bayern but Tuchel have good experience against Pep Guardiola and won on Champion League final stage last several season against with Manchester City.

It's not just about having a good reputation even the most famous coaches can fail if they join at a bad time, for example, we all know Mourinho is a coach with too much reputation and he is one of the most famous coaches in the world, but in SerieA his team is on 5th place. While Napoli's coach is not nad famous and he is in the first place.
I'm just saying Bayern Munich could beat PSG with their coach and they could have a good chance in the champions league but we don't know how they perform with Tuchel.

[Docnaster]

Chelsea VS Real Madrid, I believe Chelsea will use this opportunity to eliminate Real Madrid for people to believe that things has changed positively in Chelsea club because, their coach has worked on many challenges to allow the players to work together to maintain the winning. Chelsea can loose other titles but it will be difficult for them to loose this champions league title than to try their best to ensure they stand well through the game to prove to people that they are the strongest team in this season. Chelsea will be my favorite team in this game because their coach will like to do something that will make him not to experience sack letter from the Chelsea president.

Maybe beating Real Madrid could be progress against them, but what are their chances of beating Real Madrid in this round? that's the question. The reason is now that Real Madrid has a bigger chance than Chelsea. Chelsea may be focusing on the Champions League after they failed in the Premiere League, but Real Madrid will also feel the same because in La Liga they also have almost no chance now.

Chelsea's UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against Real Madrid I think shouldn't be as easily predictable as so many people thinking. Some football faithfuls are thinking that it'll be an easy pass for Real Madrid while others think that Chelsea will want to prove a point that they're are still one of the giants of European football by eliminating Real Madrid.

That being said I think the fact that the two clubs and especially Chelsea has lost out in winning their respective domestic league and sees the UEFA Champions League trophy as the only their only chance of winning a major silverware this season, they'll be playing to their full strength in that fixture. In as much as I want the Chelsea team to win, realistically, I think Real Madrid are gonna win the tie

[ILuckyGuyI]

Honestly I was seeing Manchester City one step ahead before the manager change at Bayern Munich. But now I have started to be doubtful about this situation.

Because now I believe that Bayern Munich would start playing more consistently with Tuchel. In fact they weren't doing bad with Nagelsmann in the Champions League. The only inconsistence was in the Bundesliga and it seems like most people think like the reason of this change was that. Anyway Tuchel can be a better choice for Bayern Munich honestly. He already managed Dortmund which are another strong German team. He won even the Champions League title with Chelsea in the 20/21 season while they weren't even close to being favourite.

I expect him to make a big difference here also therefore we can watch a really competitive matchup in this round.

~snip~

Actually the first leg is always a pretty important match. but unfortunately the first leg looks like it will be the most difficult match for Chelsea. I admit Chelsea have had some improvements. but still against Real Madrid is the most difficult task in the Champions League. in addition to the first leg which will be held at home to Real Madrid. certainly will make the advantage more in favor of Real Madrid. But I expect a more interesting match in the fight. I hope Chelsea provide meaningful resistance in that match. although it might be quite difficult to win. but I want to see how the young forwards of Chelsea fight against the more experienced Real Madrid players and even some who are not young anymore. i thought it would be interesting.

You know what ... everyone around the globe would surely underestimating chelsea and saying real madrid far better and would score a lot of goals and through the semi final easily , that's normal ... even chelsea fans themselves admitted that their team are in the worst situation and fucked up.

Just like the last meet between them , chelsea often surprising real madrid recently.

You know why, it's only natural that many will favor Real Madrid in this match. First, as we know, how Chelsea is currently performing. how when they won the game over Dortmund, and how they went through their matches in local competitions. so, everything is considered by us. well, it's only natural that Real Madrid is the favorite to qualify for the next round.

On the other hand, even though Madrid's performance is currently experiencing a decline. however, in terms of readiness, team mentality, and especially winning mentality, Madrid is above Chelsea. after all, it looks like Don Carlo will focus his team more on this competition than on his domestic league competition.
However, in a match anything can happen. we are well aware, that every result will be determined when the battle is held. but since we are talking in the scope of speculation and predictions, it is clear that Madrid is the favourite, without taking Chelsea for granted.

The best coach can't do much if he doesn't train the best or at least one of the best teams.
Do you think that Pep would have such good results with Manchester City if his owners did not have the money to bring him the best players in the world?
Still, even he can't win the Champions League without Messi  
It is really questionable how much Tuchel can do in such a short time at Bayern before key games in the championship and the Champions League.
I think Manchester City is currently in a better situation and a slight favorite against Bayern.

Tuchel is a visionary coach I'm sure he will not stay silent and focus more on attacking games for Bayern Munich.

In addition to a solid defense, Manchester City has a striker who makes it difficult for the opponent's defense to keep up with his movements. Haaland is still Pep Guardiola top choice as a striker on the Manchester City front line, Haaland goal productivity is a threat to Bayern Munich. Pep Guardiola certainly has a special strategy for dealing with his former club, he really understands Bayern Munich style of play which still leaves him with the adoption of the game he once used.
Mastery of the midfield can make Bayern Munich unable to develop its game, Guardiola must take advantage of all the opportunities that exist to bring Manchester City through to the semifinals.

The Manchester City team has been performing well in the past. But when Pep Guardiola wisely added Haaland to the team, Manchester City became the most powerful. In later matches, Haaland started to score brilliantly and since then Manchester City became the best team.

I admit Manchester City have grown since the arrival of Erling Haaland
But to admit they are the strongest or best, I'm not completely sure because in the League they still lost on points to Arsenal, while in the Champions League I think it's too early to interpret because the Champions League has just enter the quarter final, there is still several stages for Manchester City before being recognized as the best team of the season.

It will be difficult for any team to play against Real Madrid and to be honest, for Chelsea to reach the quarter-finals, it's quite an achievement, given the form the team is in. They were lucky with Dortmund, because in the second leg, Dortmund played frankly worse in attack, and the defense was not the best, because before that Chelsea had few scored goals. Real Madrid will beat Chelsea, I have no doubt about it.

Chelsea will repeat the same fate as the previous meeting against Real Madrid and it is indeed like fate that must be accepted that Chelsea is not equal to being able to beat Real Madrid. Especially with Chelsea's inconsistent performance, they should be lucky enough to get to this round but we shouldn't underestimate Chelsea, sometimes they could be lucky if Real Madrid made one fatal mistake in each leg. But I don't think that will happen for Real Madrid either, considering they have the most UCL titles so far, so for sure their squad is very evenly distributed in every position.

[SatoPrincess]

Football isn't always about who has more experience or the better team. Most times it take who wants it more to win a game. If Real Madrid didn't win this trophy for this season, they can always win the next as they're favorite every season but Chelsea mightn't have a chance next season since their spot isn't guaranteed yet because we're far away from the top four spot but achieving that isn't impossible either as you can never tell what the international breaks might do to players when they come back. I hear people saying that since the current coach of Real Madrid was a former Chelsea coach that he knows Chelsea's style of play..

Please which style of play are they talking about because Chelsea changes playing pattern for most of their coaches and the players Carlo Ancelotti coach isn't the same as the ones Graham Potter is coaching. I can't wait to see the looks on people faces when Chelsea advance to the semi finals then they can start believing Chelsea could possibly win the Champions League this season. As a fan I'm even more scared of Bayern Munich then Real Madrid and then we have our former coach Thomas Tuchel taking charge of Bayern Munich, I can't wait for Chelsea to play him.

Having the talented players, and even the financial power of the club doesn’t not guarantee trophies. A team looking to win trophies need to have that winning mentality and determination to go against all odds to achieve their desired goal for the season. That has been the spirit of Real Madrid in all the years they got the trophies they have to their name. I think I saw the same mentality when Chelsea won the Champions league with Tuchel, the squad wasn't even star studded. To be honest I’d be scared if I was a Chelsea fan.

Do you think even with the latest number of acquired players, Chelsea deserves a round win because they are actually in form? I don't think so, my friend. They had the balls last season and the reason was that Tuchel had a record of Champions League in the bag, Someone like Potter, who hasn't won any, can't defeat Real Madrid, and even Liverpool, who isn't having the best of times, couldn't win a round, let alone Chelsea, who is still ranked 10th in their domestic league unless Real Madrid wants to play their usual jargons like they used to, but will they do that in the Quarter-final? No!

[Ratash]

I think Napoli team has the higher chance of getting to the finals compared to the others because they will be facing milan and then if they get past them they will either face inter or benfica, Napoli are much stronger this season so they should be able to get past these teams.

No!

We'll see what they can do now with their current form. I wouldn't say they are out now, because after all they still have a chance to go further in the Champions League this season. It's just that they are faced with a strong opponent like Real Madrid, it will be a real test for them in this game. I'm on Real Madrid's side, but I still give them chances to surprise.

This is first experience for Potter to playing on champion league and with the lack of experience and the decline of Chelsea performance under him i think i can understand why most people very doubt Potter can able to bring Chelsea to beat Real Madrid and if we compared between the coaches from two teams obviously Ancelotti is clearly better than Potter because before train Chelsea Potter only spend his time to train small teams

Real Madrid probably is not too strong such as last season because at their domestic league Madrid performance is quite unstable and they have to hard struggle to pursuing Barcelona for race title but in champion league Real Madrid has been change became an one of the strongest team in this competition and very hard to beat them even Liverpool has no chances against them and Chelsea destiny probably will not so different such as Liverpool that their journey will be stopped on quarterfinal because obviously Real Madrid will be overcomes them

[naira]

I think Napoli team has the higher chance of getting to the finals compared to the others because they will be facing milan and then if they get past them they will either face inter or benfica, Napoli are much stronger this season so they should be able to get past these teams.

This is what I hope that Napoli is potentially in the Final and waiting to see which club to face. Because for now, the real battle is in the matches between Madrid vs Chelsea and Bayern Munich vs Manchester City. However, I will not exaggerate too much, it is possible that Napoli will face something unexpected because their opponents in the final will be of much better quality.
Graham Potter and Ancelotti will compete in strategies, but on top of that Ancelotti's experience remains superior plus the mentality of last season's players remains the same and with a composition that is not much different. Thomas Tuchel's first appearance will be highly anticipated and the new coach's style of play is definitely different from Nagelsmann's.

I think that no matter whom they would be going to face, they would play fearless. The reason for my thinking is that Napoli is not playing like a one hit wonder that could play amateurish tomorrow again. They have a serious system and strategy and they stick to it but do nothing else. They found the perfect balance for now and everyone on the field is committed to do the hard work that is required to also make up for mistakes from others. They are very hard to defend and also very tough to crack in their defensive third of the field. I want to see them in the final and find out how a club like Manchester City or Bayern or Real would do against them.

[judas]

I'm afraid Chelsea don't have much place to run in this round of the Champions League. Real Madrid should be able to eliminate them without serious difficulties. If we were watching the same Chelsea with Tuchel in the previous years then I wouldn't have been so sure of that. But now they are just an unreliable team to me and most of us surely. Potter still can't make an important level of impact on the team.

They are horrible in the Premier League as well. They have done a nice job in the Champions League so far though. But Dortmund could have actually eliminated them anyway. They played so poorly in the second leg and this was an opportunity for Chelsea to take. But now Real Madrid is a much more serious opponent and Chelsea's job is very difficult.

[CryptoPanda]

Benfica are in a really comfortable position in the Liga Portugal now. They are ten points ahead and maintaining their lead now. While there are nine weeks to go until the end of the season, I expect them to secure their league title earlier easily. I'm talking about this because I think that this will be a big help for Benfica in the Champions League.

They can focus on the Champions League much more from now on. They are having a very productive season so they would like to take advantage of this as much as possible. The next obstacle in the Champions League is Inter. I must admit that Benfica have a much tougher work to do compared to the previous round. Inter have eliminated Porto new which are another Portuguese team. They would be ready to play strongly against Benfica also. As the first leg is in Portugal, Benfica had better fight with all they've got to get advantageous in Giuseppe Meazza.

Benfica are having a good season this session and with 10 points lead and 9 games left to the end of the season they have much advantage because with the level and form at which they are firing I don't their is a chance for the team behind them to catch up. Against Inter Milan in the Champions league I think Benfica will be able to match their opponents and give them a tough time, playing the first leg at home Benfica could win because they will be very motivated and having the fans cheer and motivate them they have a huge advantage over Inter.
