UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

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.

No, Real Madrid has been buying anybody they wanted since I have known the club, the keep spending money in the market get talents from all over the world and that's why they have been this successful not the mentality that you're talking about. We only noticed the mentality in their road to the finals last season since they perform comebacks after come backs to win the games and even though Chelsea was winning them at their own home stadium, they still performed a comeback although weren't able to win the match but they progress to the next stage if the tournament.

Chelsea can only be scared of Real Madrid when we have injuries problem. Already there are rumors of Reece James going on another injury break and might possibly miss the clash. Only news like this are what I'm afraid off and not playing Real Madrid, didn't Kante own them in both legs? Winning man of the match when he was fit. If we have all our players on fit and on form then why should we be afraid of Real Madrid. Infact they should abe scared because if we destroy their dream of another champions league title then they got nothing to fight for since Barcelona is lifting the la Liga trophy this season.

  How much negativity in your words towards Real Madrid. Is it something personal?
A lot of time has passed since the times of galacticos and Real Madrid is one of the most modest top clubs - a lot of spenders in the transfer market litter with money - PSG, City, Chelsea, etc. while Real make one-off very measured purchases.

By the way, if we are talking about fears, then as a Chelsea fan, tell me what is more terrible - to stay in 10th place or to get into the Conference League?

The PSG team is out of the Champions League target. PSG team officials tried their best to do well in the Champions League but that wish unfortunately did not materialize. However, Real Madrid is very focused on the Champions League.

A comparison of Chelsea's performance this season with Real Madrid gives a good idea of the weakness of the Chelsea team. Chelsea's performances have been completely erratic this season. With such erratic performances, they cannot expect to win against an experienced team like Real Madrid. Even if Chelsea's players are not injured, the team is far behind Madrid. I would say Chelsea has a chance to beat Madrid in this match if two of Madrid's key players, Vini and Benzema, are absent from the match due to injury. Also, I see no chance of Chelsea winning.

All in all, these are great matches that we will soon see in the quarterfinals of the Champiosn League. Real Madrid are clearly better off than Chelsea, but if you look at the market value of the players that represent Chelsea, Chelsea should be ahead. A few years ago, no one cared for Chelsea, and they just won the Champions League from scratch. And in the final they beat rivals Manchester City, so in theory it could be done. Real Madrid is a strong team, but it is not Bayern Munich or Manchester City. I think Real Madrid have a 60% chance of going through, and if you're in the semi-final anything is possible. Also with unattractive football.

Lol it’s obvious he’s a Chelsea fan. CryptopreneurBrainboss is one of the few people here you can know their football club by their posts and you can see their passion. It’s always interesting to read his banter. Of course I’m on the opposite side of the blues.

Indeed, in football anything can happen but for this occasion I will be completely confident for Real Madrid compared to Chelsea. Maybe we can ignore Chelsea's results in the Premier League as well, but I will consider Potter's quality here, and to beat Ancelotti's tactics then of course it will not be easy for Potter to beat him.

So yes, if I do all the considerations then it looks like Chelsea's chances of beating Real Madrid are very low, if not nearly impossible. Also, even though I chose Real Madrid to win, but I'm not a Real Madrid fan and basically I prefer Premier League teams but for Chelsea at this moment I really doubt it.

Chelsea have pretty good players, it's just that they are not in the hands of a great coach. Chelsea this season has been very different, now they are no longer considered a team to be feared in Europe. Since switching ownership, Chelsea seems to have lost its soul.

You have to look at different aspects of Chelsea at the moment. I don't think it's appropriate to compare the Chelsea of then to the Chelsea of now.

Compared to the past it is clear that they are very different now, so I agree with you that it is irrelevant to compare them to the past. I know they are a big team with quality players, but unfortunately in football it is not a measure of whether the team is worthy or not, what is seen is how they are playing now. Are they playing well or not, and I'm sure we will be able to judge from the game they are showing now.

[Issa56]

The PSG team is out of the Champions League target. PSG team officials tried their best to do well in the Champions League but that wish unfortunately did not materialize. However, Real Madrid is very focused on the Champions League.

With the way real Madrid really want the champions league, then they will do everything possible to get it, real Madrid will be playing against Chelsea in their next match, I don't think it will be a easy match for Chelsea, with Chelsea current poor performance, I don't think Chelsea stand any chances of winning real Madrid, I don't know how Chelsea will play it but I don't believe Chelsea will be able to defeat real Madrid. Chelsea performance is poor this season, and they haven't been able to fix themselves, they don't really know where their problem is coming from.

I do not think so. I mean sure they have spent a lot of money on players all the time, but that doesn't mean that they got "everyone" they wanted. Just the biggest example I can think of would be Mbappe, it is because that happened very recently and that means dude wasn't interested, or even if he was, he was offered so much more money that it was really crazy for him to even consider that as an option.

So long story short there is a bit of a trouble where we are talking about Mbappe wasn't bought by Real and they couldn't get "anyone" they want. This probably happened before as well, some players just stay at their club but they did buy most players they wanted, and that's a plus for sure.

Real Madrid is without a doubt the most successful team internationally of the 8 remaining teams. A lot of attention is paid to the teams Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but what about Napoli? They don't drop stitches at all, both in the CL and in the national competition they chop everything that comes their way and the game is also very nice to watch. I think Napoli can make it to the final, but AC Milan is a cunning and experienced opponent. It would be a shame if Napoli just played 2 lesser matches against AC Milan and then flew out. On the other hand, AC Milan has also lost connection with the European top, so they can also use a little success.

There is no reason to make Chelsea fear Real Madrid because inevitably Real Madrid is their opponent in the quarter-finals. Chelsea are not lacking in talent from their players, they are a good team to expect something good from their results. I don't always see Real Madrid as the favorite team as long as the opponent can also have a good impact on his game. It's just that I doubt Potter and his strategy a little because after all, strategy plays a role in the outcome of the match.

Real Madrid has weaknesses this season, but they are not as weak as imagined when they appeared in the Champions League. Many people support Madrid because this team is the one that has won the most Champions League titles, because of that most of them are quite confident about Real Madrid without seeing the weak side.

The favor factor to Napoli is huge. Benfica has also not achieved European success for a long time. Looking at the CL victory, Porto is the last team to win the CL under Mourinho's leadership. I thought somewhere around 2009. The chance is quite small that Benfica will do this, but the game against Inter Milan is a 50% game in which Benfica could really continue. And also important for the coefficient list that Benfica puts in a good result. For itself but also for competitor Porto. Napoli seems to me clearly too strong for Benfica and Inter Milan, but the differences are not extreme.

Benfica has been the dark horse of the UEFA Champions League competition this season and they'll want to progress beyond the quarter final stage which is they'll be a hard nut to crack for Napoli
But Napoli knows what is at stake already and I think they're equal to the task. The attacking and entertaining style of football we have seen so far from the Napoli team this season makes one of the best teams remaining in the competition and judging by their own route to the final this season, I'll be very shocked not to see them play in Istanbul come May

That's why there are bunch of people complaineds about him to the chelsea and they wanna see potter to be sacked but consider chelsea has been agreed to make potter's contract to be the biggest contract that has ever signed in the history of football and chelsea thinks for twice before decide to sack him.
That proves that if todd has zero knowledge about football. He was wasting bunch of money for useless coach like him instead of signed the old one with so many experiences like the special one.

You have to look at different aspects of Chelsea at the moment. I don't think it's appropriate to compare the Chelsea of then to the Chelsea of now.

Chelsea under tuchel is always going all offensive and it's played so well compared to when chelsea was under tuchel. Even though when chelsea was changings all of its midfielders with defensive midfielders and this club was still able to concede a goal to its opponent. The fact that if chelsea is still weak at this moment. Just because it was getting three wins in a row and it doesn't mean chelsea already back again to its best performance again.

As much as I love an underdog story, I don't think Napoli would be able to win the final. According to my predication, Napoli will get to the final, they'll defeat both of the Milan teams to get there. That is if Inter Milan makes it to the semis because to me the Inter vs Benfica fixture is the most difficult to predict. A perfect 50/50 match.
The way i see it, the only club Napoli can actually win in the final is Chelsea and its highly unlikely for Chelsea to make it to the final. Either of Bayern or Man City will defeat Napoli in the final. If Madrid also makes it to the final they will defeat Napoli. I'm mot saying it is impossible for Napoli to win the champions league this season but their chances are too slim.

Real Madrid have really taken themselves seriously in the Champions League this season and the team has really performed well in the entire league so far. The Real Madrid team has a good chance of reaching the final of the Champions League.

It's very disappointing how some of you folks keep underrating Real Madrid, the most successful team in the UCL, every other season. What is even funny is they are the defending Champions, and they even eliminated Chelsea last season but look how some people think they won't even make it past Chelsea  

Mehn! Do some of you folks even watch UCL?

[Asiska02]

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.

Potter's overall performance in the team, even after acquiring more new players, all prove futile and unproductive. This made everyone not rely on the team again. Chelsea has a good record in the Champions League, but not under the current coach. I doubt Potter has had any Champions League experience before now, and it will be difficult for him to beat Real Madrid easily. I'm hoping that the players' previous Champions League experience and individual brilliance will help them beat Real Madrid.
