UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Luzin]

Chelsea when facing real madrid in the champions league there will be a slight difference in their team because Chelsea will play under the tutelage of Bruno Saltor who has a little difficulty predicting their game because Chelsea under Saltor direction may be that they will perform better. Indeed, Real Madrid met again with EPL representatives Chelsea in the quarter-finals after Real Madrid met Liverpool in the last 16.  I think this is a pretty big chance for Real Madrid in this match because in terms of the performance of their opponents they been relatively unstable lately.

After a string of poor results in the EPL are they still capable of making a surprise in the UCL. Yes, it's a mystery, why Chelsea are bad in the EPL quite well in the UCL. First leg they will go to the Bernabeu, it looks quite difficult to win. Real Madrid can always take advantage of the opportunity to play at home. The second leg may be an opportunity for Chelsea due to play at Stamford Bridge. I'm not sure about Chelsea, but they have a chance to make a big surprise. But I'm still committed to Real Madrid going to the semi-finals.

Real Madrid's opponents in the quarter-finals of the Champions League are powerful Chelsea. Despite Chelsea's poor performance in other leagues, the team will be keen not to miss out on the Champions League quarter-finals. For which they will play with their best in that match. But I am ahead of Real Madrid in the match.

Chelsea was not as powerful as your thought. I was not discrediting chelsea in this case but the fact that already told us the truth if chelsea is not as good as before. The new era of chelsea is making the club goes down even deeper in the premier league.
I will not be surprised to see that if chelsea will be losing in the first leg. That being said that if chelsea will not be playing so good against real madrid as chelsea must have passed the transition to the new coach again after potter got sacked by todd.

Some star players of chelsea will come back once chelsea will face madrid. I hope that the new coach will not make a mistake by putting some useless players in the line up. There shall always be kante and ben chilwell in the line up.

Stupid players like cucurella who were always making blunders shall be removed from the main squad of UCL. I just hope that chelsea will able to force the match to be draw in santiago bernabeu

I agree with you. Real Madrid have been far behind in Chelsea's performance in comparison. Real Madrid are more likely to secure victory in the Champions League quarter-finals. Because considering the performance of other leagues, Real Madrid is ahead of Chelsea in all aspects.

Chelsea are not so powerful this season, they are inconsistent, in the bottom half of the EPL table and just recently fired their manager, so it is all going wrong for Chelsea at the moment. I think it would be quite easy for Real Madrid to eliminate Chelsea, just as it was easy for them to eliminate Liverpool in the RO16. Chelsea have a good and young squad, but quite a lot of them lack the experience that Real Madrid's players have in the CL. I predict City are going to defeat Bayern, and Real Madrid are going to eliminate Chelsea, thus we are then going to have a repeat of last season's CL SF between City and Real Madrid.

Potter got fired, well it was expected, the only question was how much Boehly had the patience. It would seem that Chelsea is still in the Champions League and perhaps dismissal before the Champions League match with Real is not the best time, but with the replacement of the coach, Boehly pulled as much as he could. Real Madrid will benefit the most in this situation.

Exactly it was playing stupid from Boehly to fire the coach at such a delicate time when next week they will be facing Real Madrid in the Champions League.Boehly is behaving like a little kid honestly spending a lot of money and buying players like he is playing "Football Manager" up to over 270 million pounds and the results we all saw them up until now.I know that the results do not justify Potter but I also think that Boehly rushed in this decision,I am sure we will see even more bad results from Chelsea in the remaining part of the season and I don't doubt that they will be eliminated with a tennis result in Champions League.

Very surprising the warm-up match between Napoli vs AC Milan had to show Napoli bad performance. Even though we expect Napoli to excel on paper the meeting between the two is. Napoli did not do even a single goal in return. What I'm worried about is the second game in the Champions League and this defeat will be a picture for Napoli. Hopefully, we don't see Napoli fall at this stage. Napoli defeat in Serie A against AC Milan certainly made S. Pioli's troops more confident to continue their winning trend in the Champions League.

I understand that Boehly is a businessman, but he is irrational when it comes to decisions, especially with the players and the manager; I often wonder who slips suggestions in his ears. When it comes to replacing players and coaches, timing is everything. He fired Tuchel in the middle of the season when Chelsea's performance was not as terrible as Potter's. Graham Potter's reckless Chelsea performance this season was something they should have spotted before arriving, but they needed cheap labor; meanwhile, Tuchel is sailing at Bayern. I hope Chelsea does not move from bad to worse because they have already experienced average to bad performances.

Yes, it was very surprising that Napoli was slaughtered very badly conceding 4 goals at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, obviously it was a surprising result. Even though yesterday match was played in the domestic league but yes Milan squad will be more confident and also seems will be motivated to win at this big event. Spalletti will have to think a little harder to win in the first leg at San Siro and get the advantage on goal difference, but the problem is Napoli goal machine currently injured so they will find it difficult to scored.

This loss can as a surprise to me but nothing is impossible in football. I didn't expect Napoli to lose with such a margin without scoring a goal because the team has one of the best-attacking force in Europe. The loss might negatively affect their morale but they have to put this loss behind them and fight in the Champions League. Hopefully, Victor Osinhem will be fit for their next meeting.

It seems the funds at their disposal is making the management of Chelsea reckless in spending. They seem to be signing players without plans or needs analysis. They have spent almost more than any other team in the Premiership yet they have the lowest output or performance. The best thing for the club now is to struggle to be in the Premiership and identify a sound coach that will replace the interim coach and prepare for next season. I am not also writing off the possibility of a miracle happening in the Champions league.

Things might get really interesting if Chelsea bring the right manager for themselves. But there isn't a definition of this in me yet.

They need to make their choice wisely about a manager. I mean that they should be careful about the strategies and tactics of that manager. If they don't match Chelsea then there is no meaning in signing him. I know that they are in a critical time period now so this is exactly why they should be careful with their choices as of now. Their chance against Real Madrid will still not be high though. But if they sign a solid manager then they can at least fight harder in this round against Real Madrid. Nagelsmann seems to be one step ahead now.

Chelsea really have a lot of great players who can build a strong team. But currently the Chelsea team can be said to have completely lost their rhythm. But agree with you, maybe if a new coach is added to the team, the team will regain its strength with new tactics.

[tygeade]

The overall condition of Chelsea's squad is poor. At the same time, their coach could not stabilize the team. I wouldn't say that Chelsea's poor performance is only due to the failure of the coach. Their squad was also not strong enough. If the squad is not strong then it is not possible to rely on the coach alone to perform consistently well. And so the Chelsea management should try to strengthen the team by appointing an experienced coach. Chelsea management definitely needs to add experienced players to the team. Chelsea management should make a big fund to add new players to the squad next season.

Let's see how they are going to be now that Potter is out. I have always said that Potter wasn't the guy that could make this team better. All these managers that try to overreach to their positions will end up being too bad. You know what kind of manager I like when we are talking about big clubs?

Either a manager that has already managed a big club and had some success before, which would be the only acceptable thing for Chelsea right now, or a manager that is new to manager position if you want to take a risk, but been an assistant manager to someone successful for a long time, like Arteta for example. That would be the only thing that could make sense as an alternative. Not a small club manager.

Changing coaches at this moment I don't think is promising for Chelsea to improve their performance for the better and also, the fact is Potter is under contract for quite a long time. So, I think it's impossible for Chelsea to sack Potter at this moment because after all, with a long contract and it's still Potter's first season, I'm sure these factors will not make Chelsea plan to sign Nagelsmann.

Anyway, Chelsea should have been able to accept and deal with situations like this because after all, the results they are getting now are the result of the changes they have made and they didn't just happen. So, whatever Chelsea's plans are at this moment, I personally still believe that Chelsea have no chance of beating Real Madrid.

With the current conditions, this is actually a little difficult, especially in this case, the possibility of a new coach, of course, there are two, namely the same as what Tuchel did at Dortmund, who was immediately praised or did not rule out the possibility of returning, for example, to Potter.
Things are still unpredictable now, but for the Champions League with a new change of coach and the team's not-so-good performance and mental condition right now I'm still not too sure they can advance to the semi-finals.

Tuchel's sacking was unexpected, but logical from the point of view of an owner who was expecting a title fight. Chelsea after 6 games had 10 points and a loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. The fact that Potter was unable to remedy the situation is another matter. But judging by the amounts that Boel spends, his ambitions are great and he will continue to try to raise Chelsea (not this season, of course).

I think changing the coach can be working for any team if they chose a suitable coach for their team just like Bayern Munich and Tuchel. They hired a coach and they performed much better against Dortmund. Regarding Chelsea, they fired Potter finding a new coach who can help this team is a real pain for them, they should be thinking about a coach to help them have a better situation for the rest of this season and then invest in him for next season.

I just don't think so, the new coach certainly won't be able to unite the strengths of this team right away, on the contrary, everything takes time and process for the new coach.
in terms of the quality of the players in the Chelsea squad it is very good but with the problems they are facing this season I am very pessimistic that their journey can go further in the UCL this season.
moreover, the opponent they will face is Real Madrid, the king of Europe who has a very good mentality on the UCL stage, I think the chances for Chelsea are very small.

I wouldn't say that Chelsea's squad is weak. Their squad is quite strong. They have talented players like Aubameyang, Pulisic and Sterling in their attack. Aubameyang is a great player. We saw some excellent performances from Aubameyang with Barcelona. Also Pulisic and Sterling are very talented. Chelsea also has excellent players in the midfield like Enzo Fernandez and Kante. And the defense has experienced players like Thiago Silva and Koulibaly. Despite having so many talented players, Chelsea's performance was very poor.
Chelsea has sacked their coach. If their new coach is experienced, he will undoubtedly be able to strengthen the team. But the new coach also needs some time to build a friendly relationship with the team players. Real Madrid is also an experienced team. And they are in a very good rhythm. In such a situation, it is very unlikely that an unstable team like Chelsea will win against Madrid.

Bayern Munich changing coach by this time is what we call try your luck, anything can happen and they shouldn't expect much from Tuchel in this critical time of the champions League.  This is a wrong timing of bringing a coach to win the Champions league.  I'm  not too sure about Bayern for now.

In fact, behind the success of every team, the team coach has one of the most important roles. Currently, the Chelsea team coach lacks a lot of strategy. As a result, the balance of the team is not right. However, Chelsea have some great players in the team who will regain their strength only if the rest of the players get along well.

What's wrong with the new Bayern Munich coach at this point? Because from experience, obviously Thomas Tuchel has it and I don't think it would be wrong for Bayern Munich to use Thomas Tuchel at the moment although some people say it won't be good enough for the Champions League this season but Thomas Tuchel knows who they are going to face in the league Champion this season in the Quarter-Finals so he will also provide a pretty good strategy for Bayern Munich when they face Manchester City later.

No one said Chelsea is a weak team, Chelsea is a big team but can't play as a solid team now.
However, if we compare Chelsea and Real Madrid, Real Madrid surely plays more solidly and has a better experience in UCL competition.

You can't expect Aubameyang to give a big contribution if he only sits on the bench. Lately, I rarely see Aubameyang played as the starter. Chelsea coach prefers to choose Felix, Sterling, or Haverts as the striker. Moreover, Aubameyang is no eligibility until June 29 in UCL. So, it is clear that he can't play in UCL against Real Madrid.

In the Premier League, Chelsea will definitely not be able to change anything this season, and all they could count on was the Champions League, but sacking Potter before the match with Real is a very serious step. Tomorrow they play with Liverpool, on Saturday with the Wolves, the schedule is tight, but most likely the Champions League will remain a priority.

I see that either Pochettino or Negelsman are being considered in place of Potter. But in the case of Negelsmann, Chelsea will have to pay Bayern a hefty compensation, and Bayern could refuse as they risk facing him in the semi-finals. Therefore, in order to choose this particular option, Chelsea will have to wait until the end of their performance in European competition.

I like the variant with Negelsman, I think that with such funding he could get a good result. By the way, I thought that Negelsman would not be left without a team for a long time, this could happen in the near future.
