By the way, when does the Champions League round 16 debut start? I'm quite curious to see the list of these 16 teams
Now is the time to wait for the draw for the round of 16, and the first leg will start in February 2023 according to the schedule on the official website.

The date and time are still subject to change, but it seems I'm more impatient for the World Cup than for the Champions League last 16. The draw for the round of 16 will take place on November 7, 2022, it will be thrilling considering that the seeded team will likely have a tough opponent as there are several strong teams in the runners up.

Man City played impressively yesterday, the first half didn't go in their favor of  scoring. Sevilla scored first but this goal didn't bother them as they kept on playing in courage and dominating the match till this first half was over. Immediately the second half started Man city showed Sevilla that they remain the best in the group by scoring two goal in seven minute. Manchester City won the match 3-1.
In the second half City played excellently with the help of changes that Gardiola did. If they continue in this form,it is possible that they will get to the final stage. Both English team won their match yesterday,Chelsea won 2-1.

Well it is not a big surprise to me that Manchester City has also won their last game of the group stage yesterday. In the end they are the strongest team in the world right now for me and they are again the big favorite to win the Champions League title this year, together with Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain and maybe Real Madrid. The thing is though is that it is not enough to be the best team and to show the best performance. You also need to be efficient with your chances and of course you also need a little bit of luck on your side in order to really win the champions League title. ManCity also was the best team last year but they were very unlucky when they were eliminated by Real Madrid.
I have no doubts about the ability of Manchester City this season because they were so strong in the group stage and were able to advance to the next round as group winners. But to say that Manchester City will be able to win the UCL trophy this season can certainly be achieved if they are able to beat the teams that are their opponents in the next round. Bayern Munich is also a strong candidate for the title this season because since Sadio Mane arrival, Bayern Munich game has become more aggressive. real madrid will probably need to work harder to get back to being champions this season.

As a result, Tottenham won in a dramatic ending and left the group from the first place, but even a draw guaranteed them access to the playoffs. The result of the game Sporting - Eintracht really surprised me, Eintracht found the strength to beat Sporting away, to which they lost at home 0-3 and deservedly reached the playoffs. If all groups were this intricate and intriguing until the very last tour  Roll Eyes

Tottenham needed just a draw to qualify for the Champions League round of 16. And so in this match, Tottenham's aim was to get 1 point from the match by any means. That's why Tottenham players didn't attack much. They wanted to keep the defence strong. But they were lucky, so managed to score in extra time to get the full 3 points.

Frankfurt and Sporting were equally likely to qualify for the next round. But Sporting continued their poor performance like in their previous matches. They have lost three and drawn one in their last four matches. Their performance is severely degraded.

I think Tottenham originally played to win this game, but as they say, the team plays as the opponent allows it, so they had to defend too. The first place is always better than the second one, since the chances of getting a weaker opponent in the playoffs are much higher, plus before this game Tottenham had a series of failures and if it continued (even a draw here would be a failure), then questions would already arise for Conte.

Unexpectedly Milan was able to win a ticket to the round of 16 and become runner-up, although they did not perform well in the preliminary round, losing twice, drawing once and winning three times.

As a Milan fan, I am happy with Milan's achievements in the UCL this time. But I still have doubts about AC Milan's chances of reaching the semifinals. Milan players are still not completely good, this is a serious threat. Because, when AC Milan plays against Torino, they can lose, of course the teams that AC Milan will face can be much stronger and better when playing in the UCL. This is what Pioli should pay attention to. Milan need better preparation to be able to win game after game to be able to reach at least the semifinals.
The loss to Torino was due to last week's hectic schedule for AC Milan and the Pioli did quite well where he saved a lot of energy for the life and death match against RB Salzburg and in fact they did quite well by winning with a big score. indeed AC Milan is not very strong this season because they are often inconsistent in some matches in the domestic league but I think AC Milan will work hard in the Champions League matches. we will see who is the next opponent from ac milan in the round of 16 and i hope that ac milan can give a tight fight whoever the opponent later. we should appreciate the performance of AC milan this season they are a team full of surprises.

Ancelotti yet again was with a good experiment with his Real Madrid team yesterday, having his youngsters at the forefront of Real Madrid attacks with M. Asensio and Rodrygo switching plays as false 9. They played such a good football and could have got ebn more goals than they had but there passes where mainly short and got interrupted often.
Thibaut Courtois did a good job saving that penalty, it came with some power but Courtois decided just right.
This match was not important for Celtic and therefore any Real Madrid squad would look good with such an opponent. Ancelotti is a very good coach and now he also needs to think about preparing young players for the next seasons, but a good test for them will be in matches with motivated opponents, and matches like yesterday just boost their confidence a little.
Experiments like that are good when facing opponents who are far below them, so the risk of failure resulting in defeat will be slightly minimized. But they cannot do that if their opponent is as strong or even stronger than them, because it will be very risky for the final result of the match. I believe Carlo Ancellotti could actually employ a different strategy, he has to show that he is not as tactical poor as people say.

Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb In the full time game between these two teams, Chelsea scored 2 goals and Dinamo Zagreb scored 1 goal. We saw Dinamo Zagreb score a goal in the first 7 minutes. And shortly after that Chelsea scored in the 18th minute to equalize and again.  Chelsea went ahead with another goal at 30 minutes of the game. And after that there were no more goals in this match. However, Dinamo Zagreb tried hard to score another goal to draw the match but they didn't get that chance.

They didn't want the win if not they would had utilized the early moment of the game that they had the momentum. Chelsea came into the game unprepared which lead to th the Dinamo side getting a goal in just the 7th minutes. Now if the Dinamo side had built on that goal and not allow Chelsea get the rhyme they needed to get back into the game then the scoreline would had been different. Kudos to Chelsea though as even though they have already top the group and qualifed for the round of 16, they needed this win to boost their confidence against arsenal in the premier league.

There comeback just give them more positivity going into that game as there's every chance that arsenal will be on the front foot and want to score first so they can put Chelsea under pressure. The coach has to manage the game as it did against the Dinamo side and motivate the boys into equalizing and probably going ahead in that game as that's a more important match than last night game.

But unfortunately Milan is a non-seeded team that will most likely face other top teams in the last 16. Milan's journey in the last 16 may be very difficult considering the current seeded team looks very strong like Manchester City, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

I wouldn't be surprised if Milan's journey had to stop in the last 16 this season if Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Manchester City were the opponents. But if it's Porto, Tottenham or Benfica then I think Milan have a chance to qualify for the next round.

If we look at the final position for Milan, then they have a chance to meet strong teams like you said, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

Milan's journey in the round of 16 will be very difficult, if they face a strong team, and I also think Milan's current strength will be quite heavy against Porto, Tottenham and Befica, even though these three teams are not favourites.

It is a big celebration for AC Milan, as at last season they got kicked out in the group stage after finishing fourth in group C with only one game won. This season they got so much improvement  having played against RB Salzburg , Chelsea and Domino Zagreb and their worst performances was against Chelsea both home and away. Giroud made soo much contribution in seeing the proceed to the next stage. He made the biggest contributions equating his goals to his assists.

I must say that in the 1/16 finals there are actually no "weak" teams.
Yes, there are Rangers teams with a score of minus 20 in goals scored, but all the teams that made it to the 1/16 are either champions of their leagues or silver medalists.
Benfica generally bypassed PSG in the group, although the possibilities of the latter are much higher.
Tottenham also went through a strong group and only in the last match left the group.
So whoever is Milan's opponent, it will be an extremely strong team, but there are no invincible teams, so let's wish Milan good luck.

Paris club won the Juventus vs PSG match. PSG reached the highest point of the group after beating Juventus 2-1. The game saw a very good game between the two teams, 2 Stigers were in the field of PSG team. However, another striker Neymar Jr. did not participate in the match. In this game, Mbappe scored the first goal and PSG won the second goal Juan Bernat. If the Juventus players had played better, this match would have been a draw. But they did not play that well against the PSG team due to which Juventus lost and dropped their group points.
Well right. if Juventus could be at their best then the match could end in a draw. But PSG deserved to win in that match. because PSG played very well. but juventus isn't too bad either. considering the opponent Juventus are facing is PSG which is a very strong team. and the match was also very interesting. but I think Juventus can still play better. as long as they can fix their current weakness. But PSG's level of play is slightly above Juventus. so it's only natural that PSG are included in one of the strong candidates to get the title this season.

In this match I thought Real Madrid would win, but the goal difference would not be more than 1 or 2. Because their main striker Benzema was not in the squad. But even then Real Madrid's performance surprised me. They secured an impressive 5-1 win. Real Madrid's players dominated the entire match. Celtic had some good attacks, but Madrid's defenders performed well. At the same time, Real Madrid's overall performance was very good due to the outstanding performances of the midfielders.

I just don't think the teams that have already qualified for the last 16 are still motivated to win big, like Manchester City, Real Madrid and a few others. A little sorry for not choosing all the favorite teams to be included in the multi bet that I made, I only included a few of them but especially for PSG and Benfica I personally am very sure they will still win 100%.
No need to be sorry mate, the day you get to 8nclude all is the day they get to mess up your bet. You just be happy you did your bit and it worked out or didn't it.

AC Milan won with a big score last night they were able to make the whole stadium happy with the goals they scored. I praise Olivier Giroud performance last night by successfully becoming man of the match in that match, Giroud was able to score an early goal which made the atmosphere of the match better controlled by AC Milan. By successfully contributing 2 goals and 2 assists, Olivier Giroud seemed to have rediscovered his sharpness because before he seemed to have difficulty scoring goals in the domestic league. With this result AC Milan was able to secure 1 ticket for the round of 16 along with Chelsea who were able to win the group.
I join to congratulating to Milan and Giroud. Milan seems to be out of the group for the first time since the 2013/2014 season. Milan, I think, will decorate the group round with their game, the team plays very interesting and open football.
Olivier Giroud seemed to have a second youth. 2 goals and 2 assists is a great result. It seemed that after so many transitions, Giroud would quietly get lost somewhere and disappear in the 2th squad, but no, he was still able to find his game.
It is a big celebration for AC Milan, as at last season they got kicked out in the group stage after finishing fourth in group C with only one game won.

I was surprised when I began to see the goals of Benfica increasing from 3 to 6 in the final group match. I was wondering why they needed to score big goals since they will qualify as second position. I was wondering before I knew they are ahead of PSG. They are in same points but they are ahead because of h2h with Psg
One thing you might think about Benfica is that they want to avoid a tough opponent in the last 16. Becoming the top in group would allow them to drawn weaker opponents compared to second place, so here they were really trying hard on a successful mission. This means that each group leader will meet the second team in another group for the round of 16 if I understand the rules correctly.

So because of this, PSG who are the second team in group H will very likely get a strong opponent in the last 16 so it will cost them a lot. Napoli, Porto, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid are the teams that are likely to meet PSG in the last 16, and I don't think this will make it easy for PSG to qualify for the next round.

This's the rules: How does the Champions League round of 16 draw work?

Quote
