UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

It is understandable feeling because their manager is new and they are starting a fresh page which means that it will be a trouble to have that type of reset button hit right before meeting City. Whereas City has been building this team for years to get that UCL title, doesn't mean they will, there is a good chance they won't and they will lose instead and that's understandable, but that doesn't mean that they will lose, it's going to be a tough situation in the end and I believe that we shouldn't really be worried about it at all.

There will be 3 matches for Bayern before the match against Manchester City, 2 of them in the Bundesliga and the third in the German Cup. Therefore, Tuchel has some tests that could give him the ability to find the best lineup for the match against Manchester City. However, he's an experienced coach who knows both German and English teams very well, so I think the possibility of Bayern qualifying over Manchester City remains high, and even better than the case where Nagelsmann was the coach.

Real Madrid versus Napoli in the final, right? Real might be the frontrunner to snatch that trophy, but don't underestimate Napoli. They've been on fire in every game, and with that massive 19-point lead in Serie A, it's all eyes on the Champions League now. Plus, Gennaro Gattuso has been straight-up killin' it as their coach.

I doubt Real Madrid can reach the final this season, although I hope so. Realistically, there are few teams that look better than them, especially when they will face the winner from Bayern and Manchester City if they qualify for the semi final. On the other hand, Napoli seem very powerful and ambitious team this season. We also shouldn't forget that they have reached this stage for the first time in their history.

[Getmon]

There are three very dangerous teams in the quarter-finals, the others don't have much chance for the trophy. I don't expect much of a surprise result in the quarter-finals. Napoli Manchester City and Real Madrid will advance to a semi-final. I guess one of these teams will win the cup, but it is very difficult to say which one. I hardly expect one of the teams I mentioned to be eliminated in the quarterfinals. In the Napoli-Milan match, if Napoli scores early, they can score more goals in a row. Milan are not in very good shape at the moment or they are a level or two down from Napoli. Despite this, I think the rate given for Napoli is not bad. There is no team in the league that can stop Napoli. Milan will not be able to do this in the quarter-finals, let's see the matches are so fun

Frankly, I look up that Bayern Munich has a fair possibility of winning its match up with Manchester City. It is not right at this crucial time to fire Nagelsmann. In their respective leagues, Real Madrid and Manchester City were also not having the best times. Despite the loss of Sadio Mane and Manuel Neuer, Nagelsmann is competitive and unbeaten in the Champions League. There are reports of how the players feel about the dismissal of Nagelsmann, which could affect their upcoming matches.

Tuchel will immediately undergo heavy tests. Bayern Munich will play in its next four matches, Dortmund, twice with Freiburg and Manchester City.

I may agree with you about Benfica, but for once Benfica is not the favorite team to be expected to reach the Champions League final this season. Benfica could surprise in the quarter-finals even though they have been hugely underrated so far, but I just believe they will not be as strong as expected to qualify for the final.

Indeed, Benfica is a strong team, we cannot underestimate this. Moreover, if we consider from how their performance so far during the previous matches. I think they did very great matches. However, as you said, Benfica is not the favorite team to be in the final. If they are able to overcome Inter very well and continue to the semi-finals, this will be exactly amazing. But, we also know that Inter commonly will have bigger motivation in UCL, whatever their performance, I don't think they will let themselves lose chances in this UCL. 

I even going to bet on benfica to beat inter.

They are losing once and draw twice  in the domestic league , making them have the confident that they needed in such big stage against inter milan who perform just average for me, nothing special. I bet benfica would become the team that surprised us all this season at champions league.

It's not easy to predict the outcome of these matches my friend which makes them just so exciting and enjoyable to follow. I believe that both Chelsea and Bayern Munich have the same chances of winning against Real Madrid and Manchester City. The white house has’nt been performing well in LaLiga lately and with a big possibility of losing it this year to Barcelona because of their gameplay strategy which has become predictable to all teams. Their defense is getting weaker with every match, and their recent loss to Barcelona was a disaster. I think Chelsea will play the same way Barcelona did against them.
As for Bayern Munich, I think they have a 70% chance of winning against Manchester City, despite their great performance this year and Halaand's impressive goal-scoring records every match. I have a feeling that there will be a surprise in this Champions League. My prediction for the final is Bayern Munich vs Napoli.

[Velvet78]

Benfica - Inter is a really competitive matchup on paper but I still see Inter one step ahead of their opponent. Benfica have had a great season so far though. They are very likely to finish the season as the Liga Portugal champions now. In addition to that they have been doing really well in the Champions League so far as well. Their group stage performance was really impressive and it was the same against Club Brugge in the previous round.

Inter have newly eliminated Porto which is another team in the same domestic league with Benfica. I wonder how things will go against Benfica. Benfica had better look for getting an advantage in the first leg.

Is Thomas Tuchel the new boss at Bayern Munich?
This information is literally new to me and  something I'll take a look at but, I think if he is, he would do great.
He joined up in Chelsea and won them a champions league, now his joined up in Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich isn't a bad team, aren't doing any badly as well and Tuchel is a good/experienced coach. He could show his quality yo be much better than what his last days at Chelsea was.

Bayern Munich vs Manchester City would be such a tough game for them both as, they are both teams that could win the league if they could get pass Real Madrid of course.

[JoyMarsha]

In few time Manchester City and Bayern Munich will be meeting and some Bayern Munich fans are not very sure if Bayern Munich can be able to defeat Manchester City,  because of the new coach the club has. Some fans thinks it will be challenging for the coach to start a game with Manchester City at this time of the season.

It is understandable feeling because their manager is new and they are starting a fresh page which means that it will be a trouble to have that type of reset button hit right before meeting City. Whereas City has been building this team for years to get that UCL title, doesn't mean they will, there is a good chance they won't and they will lose instead and that's understandable, but that doesn't mean that they will lose, it's going to be a tough situation in the end and I believe that we shouldn't really be worried about it at all.

I feel like there is this underlying issue where Tuchel is great, newly there, but great, hence it's not really know which team will win.

I believe Bayern Munich fired their coach and hired Tuchel in his place for private reasons of the champions league. Tuchel was deemed more qualified and experienced than the outgoing coach to lead Bayern Munich players against Manchester City, which must be due to the champions league.
From the perspective of the fans, Bayern Munich's decision to fire their coach may have been the wrong one, but that doesn't mean Tuchel won't be utilizing his newly found club and players well to be able to play against Manchester City to win them at least.

Tuchel is a great coach but changing the coach in such situation will surely not a good idea, man city is an horrible club and everyone wish to not play against them in the champoins league, they are very organized and their coach is perfectly controling the situation in the club and this will surely give them a big advantage against Bayern

Nagelsman is one of most youngest talented coaches recent days and it is too long since a last time we saw a young coach like him, Andre Villa-Boas is the last young coach you got great achievement with Porto. However later, he failed in Chelsea, Tottenham and other clubs. Hope that Nagelsman after a failure in Bayern Munich will continue to grow up his career.

When Tuchel got his first success, he was older than Nagelsman and many seasons later, after Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea, he won a first Champions League with Chelsea that is a biggest achievement for his career so far. I believe Bayern Munich put their belief in Tuchel that he will help them to go to semi finals or even win Champions League. Their bet on Tuchel with possible last five matches in Champions League.

I believe if they only want Bundesliga, they would have not fired Nagelsman.

There are still enough times for tuchel to adapt to the situation in the club. Tuchel is experienced enough to handle a team like bayern. he has been successfully handling chelsea and giving chelsea a few trophies. Bayern is a few steps away from UCL trophies. As long as the team can consistently win the game and bayern will be able to take UCL trophy this season. this gonna be another big achievement by tuchel if he will able to repeat the same history as when he was at chelsea.
it's gonna he a very big challenge to beat manchester city in upcoming game. The good thing is if haaland faces injury in international break.

That was giving advantage to the bayern if haaland will not able to perform until the match day between city vs bayern. I just pray for haaland will be able to recover after the match city vs bayern.

Maybe i looked like a bad guy but since i was supporting munchen and that will give so many advantages to the bayern.

[reagansimms]

Tuchel is a manager who is quite experienced. His decision to join Bayern Munich certainly has its own challenges. The former coach who was successful with Chelsea will certainly be faced with problems in the internal team. He must first stabilize the atmosphere in the locker room after the sacking of Nagelsmann.

Then before serving Manchester City, we can see the Bavarian's performance against Dortmund in the Bundesliga. If he is successful in carrying out his duties, it means that he has hope when he looks at the champions league stage.

And in my opinion this season Manchester City are very strong and they seem very ready to play anyone in Europe. Pep Guardiola is very ambitious to bring the team from Manchester to win the Champions League for the first time.

It didn't take long for Tuchel to stabilize the atmosphere in the Bayern Munich squad, the coach and players are very experienced, they are no strangers to the conditions that have recently befallen Bayern Munich due to the sudden dismissal of Nagelsmann.
Tuchel is very fortunate to be appointed as coach of Bayern Munich, he will continue what Nagelsmann has built since the start of the season. He just needs to maintain the quality of his players to get past every obstacle, one of the tough hurdles he had to overcome against Manchester City in the quarter-finals. If he is able to bring Munich to appear in the Final and win the UCL trophy, he will be the luckiest man.

[Jatiluhung]

Benfica and Napoli are praised by the media, but am I wrong or did Benfica not leave such a great impression at all? Of course the numbers are in favor of Benfica, that they are unbeaten in a group together with PSG and Juventus, that was very good, but the game image is completely different if you compare it to Napoli. I might see Benfica continue against Inter Milan, but against Napoli they seem to me to have no chance actually. And teams such as Bayern Munich and Manchester City are also 2 sizes too big for Benfica. On paper you would say that Manchester City - Napoli will be the final. In any case, a new winner because Napoli has won the uefa cup once in the 88-89 season and manchester City has never won the cup.

Benfica might indeed win the match against Inter Milan later and qualify for the semi-finals. but I'm also not sure Benfica will qualify for the final. what makes Benfica unbeatable at the moment is their defense which is quite extraordinary. if we remember the Benfica vs PSG match we can see that PSG was continuously attacking Benfisa at that time. but the PSG forward struggled even then. and two matches against PSG ended in a draw. so I can't underestimate Benfica. but when compared to Napoli then I think Napoli will indeed be superior.

Apart from Chelsea, in my opinion, they still tend to be inconsistent this season even though they are still in the Champions League. But if you compare him at the moment with Manchester City of course Chelsea are very far behind this season.

But if we compare Manchester City with the opponents that Manchester City will face in the Champions League in the current round, I think the opponents are also quite good and not so bad this season because Bayern Munich can still beat big teams like PSG and not that Bayern Munich unable to beat others like Manchester City in the Champions League this season although that still may not work for Bayern Munich.

[X-ray]

I even going to bet on benfica to beat inter.

Benfica looks far superior right now. If we are judging from the performance of intermilan and this club faces terrible results in serie a. I see no reason for intermilan to win against benfica. Benfica may be able to dominate the match against intermilan. If we are juding from h2h betwen both and it's happened a very long time ago. It's more than half of a century. it's not reliable anymore to be used as data. It will better to use the performance in domestic league as a data to be compared.

They are losing once and draw twice  in the domestic league , making them have the confident that they needed in such big stage against inter milan who perform just average for me, nothing special. I bet benfica would become the team that surprised us all this season at champions league.

Benfica is still continue its win streak. From 25 matches played and benfica was getting 22 wins 1 loss and 2 draws. That means benfica is having good performance right now. intermilan must be so careful with benfica. Benfica was able destroying its opponent before.
I see that if benfica is aiming to do the same thing against intermilan. Intermilan in a difficult situation if it will be losing in the first leg against benfica. Intermilan will be playing away for the first leg.

I was thought Benfica performance will be decline because they were losing some key players such as Nunez or the latest is Enzo Fernandez but clearly i was wrong about that because Benfica still able to resumes their outstanding performance that in champion league and Portugal league they can managed their performance and it's quite stable until now and apparently Benfica were never lack of talented players because after the players which i mention above were leave the team and now appears Goncalo Ramos which now was into the radar for several big clubs

Benfica statistics during this season were fantastic although they cannot be compared with Manchester City or Real Madrid which is champion favourite but their performance were clearly better than Inter and first leg Benfica will be playing as a host and Inter have to be careful to them because Benfica is very tough at home and for betting options based on the current odds we can see this time Benfica is the favourite and Inter had underdog status

I don't think it will be very easy to win against Manchester City. For Tuchel, it will be a big match and obviously there will be pressure that how to win the match. But it is true that Tuchel is an experienced one who did a great work for Chelsea. It was quite similar situation for Chelsea also.

Benfica might indeed win the match against Inter Milan later and qualify for the semi-finals. but I'm also not sure Benfica will qualify for the final. what makes Benfica unbeatable at the moment is their defense which is quite extraordinary. if we remember the Benfica vs PSG match we can see that PSG was continuously attacking Benfisa at that time. but the PSG forward struggled even then. and two matches against PSG ended in a draw. so I can't underestimate Benfica. but when compared to Napoli then I think Napoli will indeed be superior.

Benfica is on their best form now and they have enough chance to beat Inter Milan. It is really tough to break the defense line of Benfica. Not only defense but also their attack line is also solid to score goal. I don't think Inter Milan will be able to qualify. Inter Milan should try to find out opportunity to implement in the game for fighting against strong opponent Benfica.

I think Pep will have a special strategy to fight Bayern Munich later because Pep is a former Munich coach so maybe he understands better how Manchester City can win against Bayern Munich later. Manchester City has Haaland who is ready to become a goal machine there, BTW speaking of Chelsea, don't underestimate them because Chelsea might surprise them by holding Madrid to a draw or winning narrowly.

[Oneandpure]

There will be 3 matches for Bayern before the match against Manchester City, 2 of them in the Bundesliga and the third in the German Cup. Therefore, Tuchel has some tests that could give him the ability to find the best lineup for the match against Manchester City. However, he's an experienced coach who knows both German and English teams very well, so I think the possibility of Bayern qualifying over Manchester City remains high, and even better than the case where Nagelsmann was the coach.

Seems not easy for three matches later before facing Manchester City in Champion League, next match against Dortmund and capacities about Tuchel questionable does he right choose replacing Julian Nagelsmann position after winning all games in Champion League? or Tuchel can bring Bayern Munich have consistent performance than Julian Nagelsmann between domestic league and Champion League.

Become reunion for Tuchel after sacking from Chelsea manager and he know about the weakness from Manchester City, exactly become nightmare for City winning Champion League last two season after Tuchel give Champion League tittle for Chelsea and defeated Manchester City on final stage.

@reagansimms I doubt that Tuchel can beat City right away, because he’s barely got time to settle in and understand the squad properly hence I feel that City will will defeat them badly by scoring many goals. Also in the long run Tuchel can work wonders for them, but in the short term I expect him to suffer many defeats as the timing of his appointment is horribly wrong.

this is all funny because tuchel was coach of dortmund, he knows dortmond and the bundesliga well, since he was coach of Mainz and also started his career in the under-15 of VfB Stuttgart, so he is a guy who is in at home, in that regard, bayern was right in the choice, another point that I even found funny is that tuchel was in the premier league and already beat City in the champions league, he was also coach of PSG, which means that tuchel knows a lot of teams and the country league, I just found it very strange that last season chelsea did not play well, sometimes it even seemed that chelsea players were sabotaging so that tuchel was fired, of course this is just my assumption

Also in the long run Tuchel can work wonders for them, but in the short term I expect him to suffer many defeats as the timing of his appointment is horribly wrong.

I also commented on this, because even a genius coach needs a lot of time to adapt to the team, expecting that bringing tuchel right away bayern will win everything in a short time can be a mistake, of course as I said above tuchel knows the bundesliga very well , he knows the champions league very well and the premier league teams like chelsea and also bayern has good players, but the problem always comes from what formation and players he has to put in and that forces him to have to experiment and of course the experiments will be done in each game, this change of coach so sudden and knowing that the season doesn't have many games left to finish could be a very hasty decision and could have disastrous consequences
