UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[skarais]

you are right Despite performing poorly in the league, there are many teams who are capable of performing well in the Champions League. We have seen Chelsea's performance in 2020-21. Chelsea's performance in the Premier League was very poor. But this team has managed to win the Champions League title. Real Madrid and Manchester City are not at the top of their respective leagues, but they are doing well in the Champions League. However, it is not possible to predict which team will win the title this season. Several teams are favorites to win this year's title. I look forward to seeing the four teams qualify for the semi-finals.

Real Madrid, Manchester City, Napoli and Inter are some of the teams I hope to qualify for the semifinals this season.
I'm also not looking down on Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Benfica or Milan, but I think it's good to expect the top 4 teams above to qualify for the semi-finals based on the odds.

Chelsea is not getting good results in the Premier League, of course that is true. But Chelsea's performance has been very solid and they are a very dangerous team in attack. Bayern Munich is another good team but I tend to think Manchester City are the better favourites.

[Oluwa-btc]

With Tuchel currently coach of Bayern Munich, it looks like Manchester City will not be able to beat Bayern Munich easily. But yes, at least I personally will still be waiting for Bayern Munich's results in the Bundesliga match, because Bayern Munich will play against Dortmund and also against Freiburg in the DFB Pokal and also in the Bundesliga and yes, I think it will not be an easy opponent.

So, if Bayern Munich gets good results, it is possible that Tuchel can apply the right strategy when he plays against Manchester City in the Champions League. Therefore, this match is indeed a match that is difficult to predict, but hopefully after the match I mentioned above it can open the judgment about Tuchel at Bayern Munich in a short time.

Bayern Munich with better Champions League experience, also with their formidable team and now coupled with the fact that Thomas Tuchel has taken charge of the team, He knows Guardiola weak point and how to win him when it comes to the Champions League compition, I see Bayern a little bit ahead of Manchester City, because City are not wholy in their best form this season, so I see the possibility of Bayern Munich progressing to the next round after the two phase of the game.

Pep Guardiola off course shouldn't be written off for this game, because he lost to Thomas Tuchel doesn't mean he'll do same against him this time, anything is bound and sure to happen.
I guess to really don't know the reason why Pep Guardiola has been called the perfectionists,he's got a good team and we'll see Cancelo face Manchester City he seems so much excited from my observations. Bayern Munich are good attacking wise but they conceded unnecessarily this season with a slacking defense

Bayern Munich is not the club it used to be in terms of dominance of the German league. Thomas Tuchel is not a magician, hence I am not expecting him to get an instant result in Bayern Munich. Manchester City has the advantage in this match because it will take sometime for the new coach to stabilize the team. I expect the Bayern team to improve with time because Tuchel needs understand the team. The match between these two teams is unpredictable City might win the first leg but the second leg will be the real battle. Thia match will be a real thriller and a must watch.

The only team in the Champions League I was not expected to see at this stage is Chelsea because they had a bad performance in the previous weeks and I was expecting to see Dortmund at this stage instead of them but regarding the other teams, I guess we can see Manchester City and Napoli at the final match because they both are doing very well, especially Napoli because they have enough time to get recovery from the Serie A games and get themselves ready for champions league games.

[Docnaster]

I don't think Real Madrid is in a good situation right now, they nearly lost the La Liga title to Barcelona and there is o hope for them anymore and this can have a negative effect on the team, however, they have enough time to recover. On the other hand, Bayern Munich started working with a new coach and we can't be sure how they are going to perform even in Bundesliga also he needs some time with his team. While Napoli got a more stable situation.

I don't see league performance and Champions League performance in the same way. Real Madrid always do well in the Champions League. Although they are on the verge of losing the league title but I believe Real Madrid will surprise again in the Champions League. Moreover, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are far ahead in the race to win the Champions League.

One interesting about the Real Madrid and Chelsea UEFA Champions League quarter final encounter is that the two teams are almost out of the race to win their respective leagues. While Real Madrid is 12 points behind their league leaders Barcelona, Chelsea on the  other hand are 10th in their own league table standings.

So they know that their only chance of winning a major trophy this season is to try as much as possible and win the Champions League. Real Madrid stands a better chance because of the experienced players in their squad and also the Champions League winning mentality the team possess so for Chelsea to win the tie, they're gonna put out an extraordinary performance against the 14 times champions

[Zackgeno96]

Real Madrid has a slightly more favorable draw this season than last season. Then they drew a top European team every game and it was a miracle that they survived some games. But Benzema was in top form at the time and saved them many times. I think against City especially the chance was less than 1% that they would win that game. Lost 1-0 away and trailed 0-1 at home with 5 minutes to play. How can you still win 2-1 you ask? City have already run into zeperds a few times, maybe they have learned from that and are able to take the title this time.

[CLS63]

I see Napoli being a really big favourite against Milan in their matchup in this stage. There is a significant level of difference in strength between these teams currently. We must have seen it already by now. Napoli have already proven that they can beat Milan even in an away match and they are likely to do so again in Naples in a couple of days as well.

Napoli are on an incredible run this season in the Serie A and Champions League both in short. But Milan are still struggling with the same issues at not only defending but also attacking. I don't see Milan being able to eliminate Napoli for now.

[ShowOff]

Look carefully at what I'm saying friends, the percentage I give is based on the consistency of the two teams in the UCL. Did you know that Manchester City doesn't have a good record in the UCL? On the other hand, Bayern Munich has a good record from season to season in the UCL. They are just like Real Madrid who have a winning mentality in the UCL, not like Manchester City who keep failing.

You are right about Bayern Munich, but Manchester City is a team that is trying to win the same title. Manchester City have been favorites for many seasons, but they still failed, but that doesn't mean they will also fail this season even though Bayern Munich have a captivating history in the Champions League.

This season Manchester City is better than last season, but one does not know if they will manage to win the title in the end. There are stages for them to complete, but there is a chance to see them reach the semi-finals.

I expect the Bayern team to improve with time because Tuchel needs understand the team. The match between these two teams is unpredictable City might win the first leg but the second leg will be the real battle. Thia match will be a real thriller and a must watch.

In fact, assuming that Bayern will play their normal football and City will do the same, I see a high probability that Bayern will win easily. Guardiola's teams abuse the control of the ball, but against Bayern (which knows how to control the ball and counterattack and pressure and aritmic football), this has always worked poorly - you can see from the history of meetings with Barcelona. This is the case when one style is clearly stronger than another, even without taking into account the performers. I hope that everything will be so and Tuchel with his tactical decisions will not spoil the whole pattern.

Of course it would be very interesting if Napoli could be in the Champions League final this season against Manchester City (and even if Manchester City could beat Bayern Munich and also Real Madrid) because I'm also not sure that Chelsea can hold Real Madrid from advancing to the next round because Chelsea's performance this season is not very good and also not on par with other teams who are still in the Champions League now.

Napoli is one of the most desirable teams to reach the final, their chances are very high to be there this season. But let's see how far their journey goes this season because Milan is not always bad to be expected to stop Napoli's run in the Champions League. I might be very surprised if in fact it was Milan who made it to the semi-finals, but if it was Napoli then that would be normal.

I'm not entirely pessimistic about Milan's chances, but Milan seem to have a low chance compared to the other two Serie A teams to the semi-finals. The Napoli vs Manchester City final was great, but we have to see what they get in the quarter-finals first.

There is a hard way for any team to be in the final match because there are many strong and sharp teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid  and Bayern Munich for any teams to face directly or indirectly before reaching the final match, I guess if Napoli reaches the final game and even if they don't win the game they still achieved a lot because as far as I they couldn't reach this stage before.

If Napoli can win the game in the quarter finals, they will meet either Inter or Benfica. If Inter wins, then the semifinals, Napoli will meet with a Serie-A team again, which is more likely they are able to win against Inter. If this result is correct, then Napoli have a bigger opportunity to reach the Finals when referring to their achievements in Serie A. But, against Benfica, I think it's still waiting for the results of the 1st leg. because benfica also has good performance in the domestic league, so it's quite difficult for me to say that Napoli will beat them.

yeah but it seems like that napoli will able to make it. I meant let's say about the fact that if napoli is the strongest team in that group. Even though if napoli will be winning against ac milana nd it will be facing intermilan or benfica which can be considered as a bit easy compared with the teams in another side where must have faced real madrid or bayern. The chance for napoli to go to the final is big at this moment. The only problem is benfica is as good as napoli at this moment caused by it was always winning the domestic leaguie and it keeps dominating it rigt now.

The way for napoli to be qualified becomes even easy compared with another team like chelsea, madrid, city and bayern. These clubs must have fight until the end.

The result from the draw was making me feeling susprised to see that.

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.

Yes, the problem is in Inter's own performance which is still very inconsistent. Sometimes they are able to play very well, effectively, efficiently, and also accurately. So they are still able to provide very satisfying and surprising results. However, it is not uncommon for their appearance to disappoint because of the many wasted opportunities. Here, if Inter have its own challenges, at least to manage its own performance, each player. Meanwhile, Benfica has been playing more consistently

If Inter wins, then the semifinals, Napoli will meet with a Serie-A team again, which is more likely they are able to win against Inter.

But, against Benfica, I think it's still waiting for the results of the 1st leg. because benfica also has good performance in the domestic league, so it's quite difficult for me to say that Napoli will beat them.

Napoli's actual condition at the moment in terms of opportunities for their final is quite large with their current position. Against Milan I think everyone pretty much agrees they are the favorites in this game.
On the other hand, for Benfica and Inter, I'm still not too sure who will win, but one thing is certain, if Napoli wins against Milan, whether it's against Inter or Benfica, their chances will still not change for this season's final.

it is likely that it will happen if Napoli can easily beat their opponents in the quarter-finals. I'm more interested in seeing this final between Napoli vs Benfica where these two teams are the big concern this season. Real madrid vs chelsea will most likely be difficult to guess who will win because I am a little pessimistic about Real Madrid this season.

Manchester city has a formidable opponent in the quarter-finals where Bayern Munich is the opponent. Bayern, which has recently been in the public spotlight for sacking Nagelsmaan and showing Tuchel as the new coach, of course Bayern Munich game will be difficult to predict from what they showed in the previous game because there has been a change of coach.

[Velvet78]

Napoli shouldn't have big problems about moving Milan out of their way in this round. There is a big difference between them already. Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia should be able to make difference as always. After that I would expect Napoli to have a matchup against Inter. And they can get past Inter as well and make it to the final round later on.

Whatever team they face in that round I'm feeling confident that it would be a really competitive game. Because Napoli are also very strong this season. They would do their best to make a big surprise.

Chelsea is the least club in performance among this other clubs,  I'm still surprised how Chelsea managed to be able to remain in Champions league even with their  bad performance. Napoli performance in the Champions league is what I enjoy much I never expected Napoli to be among the best team in the Champions league. It will be nice to see Napoli in the finals, if Napoli reach finals they might win the the champions league. Napoli has become my favourite team in Champions league.

[BlackBoss_]

Chelsea is the least club in performance among this other clubs,  I'm still surprised how Chelsea managed to be able to remain in Champions league even with their  bad performance.

Chelsea won over Dortmund even they got bad result in the first leg. It has two reason, they played better in a second leg at Stamford Bridge and Dortmund did not play well enough to secure their advantage from the first leg.

However going through quarter finals, every club have their chance to go to semi finals and even take the trophy in this season. Chelsea will have to recall about what they got in the past season in two matches with Real Madrid. Especially the second matches in Bernabeu when they even led 3- 0 before letting Real Madrid to come back.

Napoli shouldn't have big problems about moving Milan out of their way in this round. There is a big difference between them already. Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia should be able to make difference as always. After that I would expect Napoli to have a matchup against Inter. And they can get past Inter as well and make it to the final round later on.

Napoli will have to be so careful with AC Milan even they are stronger and have better form, carefulness has its value and importance for Napoli in knock-out matches. AC Milan with their history knows that in Champions League, a stronger club are not always winner. I believe AC Milan will have appropriate tactics like Catenaccio to reduce space for Napoli and dangerous attacks from Napoli. After that they can wait for chances from counter attacks that can make them as winner.
