UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

At least he has done that with Chelsea. Maybe it can happen to Tuchel at Bayern Munich. There's always a chance to do that, Tuchel once in the EPL he had good experience. So I think he knows enough how to play Man City. Before Chelsea, he had also been at Dortmund and PSG. So I have no doubt about his experience. It may take adaptation but it doesn't take long. There are still a few games for the Bundesliga, while for the UCL they have enough time to break so I think it doesn't matter.

Tuchel has never won EPL. He is having good experience in UCL but not in EPL. Chelsea was winning its last EPl on 2018. let's give tuchel some times. Tuchel has not yet faced the first match in the bundesliga. People are always judging even before the first match has started.

I don't know why people are always thinking like that. As bavarian and im very optimistic about the result that will be delivered by tuchel. The win against dortmund will be boosting mentality from all of players in bayern
let tuchel do his job against dortmund very soon and we can see whether bayern become even better.

There will always be pros or cons and that's normal in football. The non sense thing if people judge him while he has not even played a game with bayern.

He joined Chelsea only a few months after bringing PSG to a Champions League final but failed under feet of Bayern Munich. PSG sacked him and Chelsea hired him but see, he won a Champions League with Chelsea with a goal from Kai Harvertz. Now Bayern Munich hoped that he will repeat it with them as an alternative coach who will win another Champions League.

Tuchel did good management at Mainz, Dortmund, PSG, Chelsea even he did not won too many titles with them. At Dortmund, they simply failed under a giant Bayern Munich, that is reasonable. In PSG, many coaches failed with them in Champions League not only Tuchel but he failed in the only Champions League final they have.

Tuchel has never won EPL. He is having good experience in UCL but not in EPL. Chelsea was winning its last EPl on 2018.

Tuchel did not have much experience in Premier League as he joined them in winter on 26 January 2021 and a few months later he was fired by Chelsea on 7 September 2022. With that limited time, he did not have enough experience with Premier League.

Thomas Tuchel career with Wiki

[Jatiluhung]

@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.

Correct. Thomas tuchel is an experienced coach and actually a very reliable coach. even when he was at Chelsea he donated many trophies to Chelsea. one of them is the champions league trophy. so I think it doesn't take much time for Tuchel to adapt to the Bayern Munich team. and I'm pretty sure he also has a lot to know about the opponent Bayern will face in the UCL quarter-finals, namely Man City. and it's true that there is still time for Thomas Tuchel to adjust the strategy he made to apply to Bayern.

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.

Actually, this is a little bit risky to do.
But, who knows? It will be very interesting if Benfica can beat Inter, Inter must be surprised enough. But exactly, Benfica is also an unpredictable club that can be in the quarter-finals of the Champions League so far. But, in fact, they have been performing amazingly, like what Napoli has been doing so far. Moreover, most statistics offer about the win probability on Benfica. Indeed, Inter must not underestimate Benfica in this case. their first leg match must be watched out and learned.

For example, if later in the first leg Inter lose, surely they will learn how to overcome Benfica in the second leg with a better strategy to outperform the aggregate results at home later. But indeed Benfica is an opponent who is quite defeated for Inter at this time, considering that Inter's performance is still below Benfica in the domestic league or UCL. But for sure if there is any miracle I think it will only come to inter and for benfica I am very sure they will get rid of inter in the QF stage.

I think it is an advantage for Manchester city to face Bayer Munich because they suddenly replaced the coach.
Bayern Munich players and coaches certainly have to adjust their strategy in terms of the game.
But in the future I agree with you that Tuchel will be able to revive Bayern Munich's game, so as to be able to win more trophies, it does not rule out that Bayer Munchen will get a league title next season, because Tuchel is one of the coaches who has had many achievements.

When he faced a Premier League team, of course he already understood very well how their game would look like, so he already had an idea of what to do when facing a Premier League team. There may be an adjustment for Thomas Tuchel, because somehow there has to be an adaptation for someone who has just joined the team. He must be able to show that he deserves to be at Bayern Munich.

I agree with you. Facing Manchester City at this moment will not be easy for Bayern Munich. Because they changed coaches, I wouldn't say coach Tuchel is inexperienced. He is quite an experienced coach. However, it takes time to adapt to a new team and it is very difficult to take charge of a big club like Bayern Munich. However, before facing Manchester City, Bayern Munich will play three matches against Dortmund, and Freiburg. I am looking forward to seeing how Bayern Munich performs in these three matches. If Munich can perform consistently well in these three matches, Bayern Munich can be expected to perform well against Manchester City as well.

It would be a huge stunt if Real Madrid won the Cl again. They have now won the title no less than 4 times in the past 10 years. That's really a lot. And City not even once. Everyone would like to see Napoli with the cup at the end of the season, they play the best football and make the most impression.

I also want to see a team that is different from last season to win the Champions League this season, especially a team like Napoli who are currently looking quite strong in their own domestic league and there is still a chance to advance to the next round in the Champions League. So it would be extraordinary if a team like Napoli this season could get two big trophies from two different big competitions.

No doubt Napoli is playing  well in the league and performing beyond expectation in the champions league, but the champions league this season wont be easy for them. we can only wish, but the cup is for the experienced ones, Napoli doesn't have champions league experience. none of Napoli players in this squad has won the champions league before. so it will be tough for them to clinch the cup this season.
i predicted  Real madrid vs Napoli finals, but Real Madrid are favourite to win again.

Correct. It seems that many of us are expecting a new team to win the UCL trophy this season. and I personally also see this opportunity owned by Napoli. because after all Napoli did make a very good impression that they have in Serie A. who top the standings with an absolutely incredible points difference. and at least Napoli in the quarter-finals has an opponent they should be able to overcome, namely Milan. so that the opportunity to qualify for the semi-finals becomes more wide open for Napoli.

[asriloni]

The next match of napoli vs acmilan in serie a will begin before UCL and you will have chance to see how strong napoli is against ac milan soon. I would not be suprised to see ac milan loses with huge goals against napoli. Napoli was on a different level right now.
I think that it doesn't even matter a lot whether napoli had/had not history in the eufa champion league but the thing that must be remembered is if napoli is really strong this time. You can't even argue this caused by napoli is even holding scudetto even when there are still many matches remaining at this moment. The duel between napoli vs ac milan will become a way to determine which club that potentially to win the match in UCL

I think that the result in UCL will not be different in the match in serie a, Napoli is aiming to get full points from ac milan.

Let's see how osimhen and kvarat will be so crazy to play against ac milan. There is not better striker in serie a than osimhen. Rafael leao is nothing right now rather than an ordinary player in ac milan.

I respectfully disagree with you on several points because I do not believe that Napoli will put in less effort during this match and risk injuries before their more important Champions League match. Napoli is currently at the top of the Serie A standings with their best performance and 19 point lead over the second place team which is more than enough to secure the championship title this year. However, I believe that every match is important for maintaining their momentum and competitive levl, and as a professional football team, they will not take any game lightly but with less important players.
Furthermore, while losing a player like Osimhen due to injury would be a setback I think Napoli will change their gameplay by playing overly cautious football. It is possible that they may rotate some players to avoid fatigue or give other squad members a chance to prove themselves but I don't believe they would deliberately underperform in the meantime.
On the other hand AC Milan is likely to put in maximum effort to win both matches, as they are close to the second spot in the Serie A standings and also have a chance to reach the semifinals or even finals of the Champions League. But after all Italian teams are more unpredictable than other champions since every team has its strengths and weaknesses and predicting the outcome of any football match is always tricky.

No prob, it's free for anyone to express their opinion about the upcoming match. I think that it's hard for napoli not to use some key players like osimhen and kvarat. I did know if the injuries might become a threat to osimhen. I just try to be realistic by seeing the result from the previous matches.
I am really doubtful about performance of ac milan to face napoli. As you can see that how ac milan was getting poor results in previous matches. I can't even believe something big to come from ac milan right now.

that's why i doubt if ac milan will give a tough game to napoli. Ac milan could not even beat salernitana and it was losing against udinese. Im saying like that caused by i have some reasons why ac milan will not be able to win against napoli.

Napoli is far above ac milan right now. i would like to say that if ac milan will put more effort caused by it was not safe yet in serie a. roma and atalanta is very close to the ac milan.

Napoli, Real Madrid, and Manchester City are unlikely teams to win the title. Also, we are neglecting. Benfica has been performing exceptionally well in the Champions League this season. Benfica also won the last match against Club Brugge 5-1. This group should not be neglected either. The way they are performing so far, I wouldn't be surprised to see Benfica in the Champions League final. Benfica will play against Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. Inter Milan's performance is not regular. So Benfica has a chance to win this match. I think the semi-final will be between Napoli vs Benfica.

You have a lot of faith in this club Benfica, which is fine because they're doing extremely well right now and the opponent they'll be facing can easily be passed through to the semifinals. But seeing them in the finals is something I'm certain is extremely unlikely. Consider any of the other teams they could face after successfully passing through AC Milan; do you think they'll win and advance to the finals?

Napoli is really playing great this season in the Italian championship and the Champions League, but that doesn't mean much.
The same could be said for the last few seasons for PSG or Manchester City, but these two clubs still failed to win the Champions League.
On the other hand, the Champions League was won by Real and Chelsea in the last few years, although they were not very good and convincing in the national championships.
That is why it is still early for any serious predictions, and we have a lot of serious candidates for the title of European champion.

All the teams in the champions league are famous and they deserve the title this season because they had a good performance so far, but I don't think any team other than Napoli is close to the champions league, they had an amazing performance so far and they have enough gap in the league to give some rest to some players they have to they won't have any stamina problem comparing to other teams.

If you have a money bet on Benfica, you should analyse your predictions again because Sportbooks will be happy with your wager. I mean, look at the other 3 teams, do you really think with Benfica's performance, they can reach the final where Napoli, Inter, and Ac Milan are standing, I beg to differ. I understand they perform exceptionally in the group stage and knockout stage but the team they played against in the knockout stage is not that good IMO, they barely made it out of the group stage. I'm confident that Napoli will do anything to further their journey to the final even if they meet with Benfica.

You are right. It is much more difficult to predict which team will win the Champions League title. Manchester City and PSG were the favorites for the title in the last few seasons. But they could not win the title. On the other hand, the Chelsea team won the title in the 2020-21 season. No one expects Chelsea to win the Champions League title. And so I would say every team that qualified for the quarter-finals has a chance to win the Champions League title. It is impossible to predict which team will win the title so early.

I don't think Napoli should be considered favorites to win so soon. Of course this time they are in very good form and deserve to reach the final. It cannot be said that if luck is good, they can win the Champions League by winning the final as well. On the other hand, we will never leave Bayern Munich and Real Madrid behind. There is still a long way to go to win the Champions League. It is true that reaching the final is much easier for Napoli.

[RILWAN]

Napoli's condition of avoiding being the favourite club is a real advantage for them this season because indeed with this the possibility that they will be in the final is very high considering that currently their bracket is only filled by other Serie A clubs Inter and Milan and one more Benfica. They just need to show their dominance here as they did in the group stage then it will be great for Napoli.

Napolis chance of becoming the favourite clubs this season is greatly threatened by other smaller clubs in their categories just like you mentioned, clubs like benfica will pause a great threat to their success in that season.

[Strongkored]

You are right. It is much more difficult to predict which team will win the Champions League title. Manchester City and PSG were the favorites for the title in the last few seasons. But they could not win the title. On the other hand, the Chelsea team won the title in the 2020-21 season. No one expects Chelsea to win the Champions League title. And so I would say every team that qualified for the quarter-finals has a chance to win the Champions League title. It is impossible to predict which team will win the title so early.

Maybe by first going through the first leg of the quarterfinals we can start predicting which team will have the ability to be able to compete in the finals later, because these quarterfinals are the best teams who even though they didn't perform satisfactorily in the local league but they managed to beat their opponents in this competition, if the assessment is the results in the league then Napoli and Benfica have a chance to reach the final but other teams have better statistics in the champions league Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, so it's really early enough to say which team will win because every team has a same chance because football is often unpredictable.
