UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[puloweh555]

Honestly, I personally thought that Napoli would win the match very well. But the Milan team is suddenly able to produce extraordinary performances. From that point of view, Napoli tried very hard to win or draw the match. But the Milan team's defense lineup has shown extraordinary skill.

At first glance, we see that Pioli often plays a 4-2-3-1 formation, but actually when he plays, his formation changes to 4-3-2-1, where Ismaben is more pressed into a free role, you know. know. you could say AC Milan's position is now number 10, Ismaben, Leao and Diaz are deeper, the defensive midfielders are Tonalli and Krunic with this formation, Milan plays much more flexible.

For Krunic, Krunic actually didn't play too well. He played in leg 1 how many times did he make mistakes luckily Tonalli played well and so did Tomori. Tomori last season was good now he is not consistent but in that game he was good then he played bad. these two players this season have been Milan's weak points, fortunately Napoli don't seem to realize that they are exploring more of the left position filled by Theo. Napoli, if they want to win in leg 2, they must learn from their mistakes in leg 1. I think later in leg 2, the Napoli vs Ac Milan match will go well.

I strongly believe in Napoli's victory in this second match.

The conditions are still possible but indeed the results of the previous 2 matches against Milan must clearly be taken into consideration.
The good thing about this is that Napoli now has at least some confidence in Osimhen who is 100 per cent ready for this match. At least this could be a more motivational kick for them in the match that will take place at their home. Hopefully Osimhen can change Napoli's previous condition, especially for finishing problems.

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.

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.

Before this season i always be underestimate Napoli to win champion league because just like i said before Napoli is always be underdog status because in the last several season they even cannot able reach to quarterfinal before and indeed Napoli highest achievement is came this season that they were always be performing well in every competitions and one thing for sure their journey until quarterfinal were very easy compared to other teams because since group stage until quarterfinal Napoli always be gets the weaker opponents than him

And if i am not mistaken the winner between Napoli vs Milan will be faced the winner Inter vs Benfica and if scheme is true then probably Napoli chances to advance to the final match is quite high because they can be avoiding strong teams such as Bayern or Real Madrid on semifinal match and this time probably they will fight for the title in the final match and they have good possibilities to get their first trophy in this competition

Yes, that's how you say it, that's why many Madrid fans say they want a possible final to be between Real Madrid and Milan, and even though it's technically possible, you have to worry about your performance with the team that I Consider it not so surprising but if one of the toughest, personally I would have liked to see the Napoli vs Bayern match, First to test the level of Titans and second to see Bayern's performance with a new coach and against a team that is plugged in They have won many victories, both in the UCL and in Serie A.

I think it is over for Bayern Munich in this tournament this season. They should have performed better against Manchester City in the second half. They were really weak at defending and Manchester City were one of the best teams to benefit from this golden opportunity. Manchester City have the most effective attacking line among the teams left here now. Haaland did his trick again and literally carried the team to a 3-0 victory.

His contribution with a goal and an assist both was really worth watching for me. He has already been a goal machine since the beginning of the season. Bayern Munich must have been aware of this danger already but they still couldn't prevent this. Actually Haaland wasn't effective in the first half but they couldn't stop him in the other one. Even if Manchester City don't win in Allianz Arena they should still be advancing comfortably with the help of this score advantage.

bayern have a mountain to climb having lost to city in the champion league, they were right in the tie until the 70th minute and now needs least 3goals

I cannot deny that Haaland is one of the best players in the world, for me City has great potential, and it is really due to Haaland, of course without detracting from the work that Pep Guardiola has done, it is a very complete team, too It is somewhat difficult to assimilate that Bayern have lost with such a goal difference, I don't know what happened to them, but that can happen to any team, it is something that cannot be denied, football is like that, and although many do not believe in Bayern , technically they can still pass, we don't know if they will win for the next game, fútbol always surprises.

This 1-0 defeat must be a huge disappointment for Napoli. You can look at it in different ways of course. Napoli had a great chance within 2 minutes. And in the first 20 minutes they should have scored at least 2-3 goals. If you don't, you're bringing the trouble on yourself. But if Napoli reach their level as they can play, then we get to see a nice game in Naples. I wouldn't dare say who the favorite is now after the first game. AC Milan was very good in the league match against Napoli when they won 0-4. Would Benfica have no chance at all in Milan at Inter?

Honestly, I personally thought that Napoli would win the match very well. But the Milan team is suddenly able to produce extraordinary performances. From that point of view, Napoli tried very hard to win or draw the match. But the Milan team's defense lineup has shown extraordinary skill.

Napoli's problem still looks the same from the last few matches, namely their weak finishing. For this second leg, Spaletti will have to create some conditions where things like that are minimized and of course the presence of Osimhen now can be one of the conditions that are quite good for them.
Apart from that they were quite the favorites from the start of the group stage and it would be a shame if they failed in the quarter finals.

Napoli certainly deserved a much better result, but this is the Champions League, the most difficult competition in the world, where every mistake pays dearly.
The fact is that Napoli played without their best striker, but now they have a very difficult rematch against Milan, and I would say that now Milan has a slightly better chance of reaching the semifinals of the competition.

You are right, losing their best striker has made Napoli have to pay dearly for the first leg defeat. But Napoli are still lucky because Milan doesn't have many goal advantages where it seems that 1 goal will never be safe for them. I agree Milan have increased their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals, but they haven't deserved to have their fun before making sure of that in the second leg.

The second leg between Napoli vs Milan will certainly be even fiercer, I believe that. Milan seems to realize that playing at home to Napoli is never easy, but they beat Napoli 0-4 recently at the same stadium for a Serie A game. The Champions League is tough, but Milan have good confidence against Napoli.

Without Victor Osimhen Napoli are not the strongest team and that is they have to accept defeat in the first leg but even with 1 goal behind it is still a little difficult for Napoli even though they will play at home and Milan will definitely defend their game so as not to concede more goals with Aggregate goals now of course Milan is still a little in the advantage.

We will see in the second leg later, whether Napoli have to accept defeat again or instead they come back to qualify for the semifinals but you are right that Milan have beaten Napoli at home, they will have the confidence to beat them again in the UCL.

At least this will be crucial.

Just like me, even after the defeat in Serie A, I still think Napoli will win in the Champions League. The defeat in the league maybe part of Napoli's preparation for the UCL or because their position has been secure in the league make Napoli tend to play more relaxed.  The reality is that the defeat continue when the two met again in the CL quarter-finals
I hope Napoli make corrections after this defeat and will play even better in the second leg

I too was one of those people who predicted a different outcome from their last meeting. However, what happened was that Napoli lost again by a narrow score. It's a shame they couldn't win this game to make it easier for them in the second leg later. AC Milan seems serious enough to be able to talk more about this Champions League. The second leg they will definitely play their best to be able to maintain the advantage they got in the first leg.

[safari88]

The next games for next week are the games of Chelsea and Napoli, both playing at home. Chelsea has already been eliminated from all bookmakers, but how certain is that really? 2-0 is a good result for Real, but Real has also proved vulnerable in other games and Chelsea even led 0-3 in Madrid the last time both teams played against each other. No harbinger or guarantee, just some info. Those are numbers Chelsea should hold on to, just a shame they lost to Brighton in the league today. They have a new trainer, but he can't do magic either, of course.

After Napoli's 4-0 defeat against Milan in Serie A I thought it was just an accident. Expected Napoli to dominate the Champions League and beat Milan easily. But we don't see that. Napoli lost 1-0 against Milan in the Champions League match. Milan's defense is very strong. Napoli players could not score any goal despite attacking a lot. As Milan already won 1-0 in the first leg. They will try to draw the match in the second leg. And because Milan's defense is so strong. And so it will be very difficult for Napoli to win the match. But the match is Napoli's home match. Napoli have the ability to beat Milan by a big margin if the home Napoli players are confident.

all of that will be difficult to do considering Ac milan will continue to focus on their game to play better than what they showed during the first leg match. the second leg will be a match of life and death both ac milan and napoli they will give all their strength for the second leg later.

The advantage for Napoli is the return of Osimhen to the team and they are hosts for the second leg but that doesn't mean that Ac Milan chances are quite small in the second leg because they have winning capital which makes them more confident in facing Napoli in the second leg.

Napoli has struggled in the past two weeks and has fallen shot of the intimidating performance that's left leading the league table by an almost 20 points difference. But in the past two weeks, they were without their biggest threat and their in form inform striker Victor Osimhen but the good news now is that he's back to the team and so the second leg of UEFA Champions League quarter final encounter with AC Milan will not be an easy match as Napoli will try to make amends to their shortcomings by emphatically wining the match

AC Milan has shown a winning mentality ahead of Napoli; they've met twice recently and won both games. Napoli lost to them in both Serie A and the Champions League. The second leg encounter will still be difficult to predict who will win because Napoli’s key scorer Osimhen will be present; perhaps this will increase the players' confidence to play to win AC Milan in the Champions League second leg.

It's time for second leg.

Tuesday 18th April

Considering everything these are my prediction.

Real W
Milan W

City W
Inter W


The game with more doubts is Napoli Milan, with Napoli playing at home and recovering Osimhen BUT losing their 2 defenders.

If only Milan can play with and expiriciend attacker with a weaker defender... (You right Giroud will do a great game and it will dominate)

The second leg encounter will still be difficult to predict who will win because Napoli’s key scorer Osimhen will be present; perhaps this will increase the players' confidence to play to win AC Milan in the Champions League second leg.

In the second leg, maybe the Napoli players will indeed have higher confidence with the presence of their mainstay striker, Victor Osimhen. but actually the condition of the Napoli team cannot be said to be in good condition. because several other players are still injured and are still in the recovery stage. but at least the presence of Osimhen on the field can make the focus of the Milan players a little distracted. especially the back line will definitely focus more on blocking Osimhen in that match. but it will give the other Napoli players good enough space to make their usual sharp attacks. today Napoli, Inter and Milan had poor results in Serie A. These three clubs compactly showed an unusual match. especially Inter Milan who had to suffer defeat by Monza. maybe the coaches of these three teams really plan to only use the game to the fullest for the second leg later in the Champions League. so it's no wonder today's results in Serie A weren't good enough for these three teams. because for a while these three teams are focused on facing the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

it is possible that the second leg will belong to Napoli if they are able to play aggressively from the early minutes. Osimhen will be a big enough hero for Napoli if he is able to bring victory to Napoli in the second leg later.

I believe Napoli can turn things around because losing 1-0 to AC Milan in the first leg has not broken their hopes because they lost by a narrow score. Spalletti must be able to get Napoli to end their bad streak against AC Milan if they are to qualify for the next round.
In the Bayern Munich vs Manchester City match, I believe that Manchester City will be able to control this match because they won a big win in the first leg. Only a miracle can turn things around for Bayern Munich.

Yes, AC Milan stay dominant in the matches against Napoli. In one of its encounter Milan managed to score 4-0 against Napoli. From there it have won 2-1 against Lecce and the other one is drawn against Verona. The upcoming match is more important and the the odds were completely in favour of AC Milan which used to vary when the match is live. This time Napoli will record its win against AC Milan under the guidance from Luciano Spalletti as it is something pre written that AC Milan wins against Napoli as the last four encounters were in favour of AC Milan.

Benfica disappointed me a lot in the first game against Inter, I expected much more from them.
Of course, there is always a chance in football, but honestly, if Inter in return plays at a high level again, Benfica will have no chance of winning.

In the game between Napoli and Ac Milan, I think the reason of why Napoli lost the game was because of their Nigerian forward Osimhen was absent in this game and they proved they can't have a good performance without Osimhen, According to some news Osimhen will be ready for the second leg and the 1-0 result is not so bad for Napoli that's why I think Ac Milan should be scared for the second leg.

The second leg between napoli and ac milan will be an explosive atmosphere because napoli will definitely come out with full offensive football looking to overturn the tide to their favour and like you said one goal difference is really a narrow Victory and with knowing what napoli are capable of, i think they can manage to squeeze themselves in the next round which is the semi finals. But as for Bayern Munich and Manchester City, i think Manchester City are still going to win at the Munich stadium because this Bayern team are not capable of withstanding the attacking force of Manchester City and with haaland at his best he will be looking to fulfill all revenge scores he has with this bayern team.

Op has never updated on the team selection options for the team that will become the UCL champion this season.  Even though the team that had been eliminated should have been crossed out from the poll results.

In my opinion the strongest teams in the ucl after the first leg finished were manchester city, real madrid, inter milan and ac milan because they were able to secure victory in the first leg.

But for the second leg it could be that there will be a stronger change, it could be that Napoli will make an extraordinary comeback as well as Benfica.

[Velvet78]

Manchester City are quite close to the semi finals now after getting a very solid win like 3-0 over Bayern Munich. Honestly I was waiting for Manchester City to win in Etihad but this was way more than my expectations. Especially in the second half Bayern Munich were pretty bad against them. It was like the game Manchester City played against Leipzig in this half.

Bayern Munich have nothing to lose from now on. They will need to take much bigger risks and Manchester City are just the team to benefit from that.

Napoli knows they have already gotten the italian league championship that is why they don't put too much effort in their games. I think the Champions league match is something they would not want  to lose easily,   Napoli  will still remain tough in  their performance in Champions league.

Good they finally have him backhe was indeed missed by the fans in the first leg
Another boring and baring game with no goals
Having Oshime back is like having the prime Lionel Messi back within your squad so much conference in the player
