Graham Potter has done an incredible job in bringing Chelsea's team this far , since his take over as Chelsea's manager he hasn't lost any game so far, has gotten 3 draws and all wining, with this performance what he should do now is focus on how to make Chelsea become a better team than this and not be on pressure playing other games.
Yes, i totally agree with this statement of yours, because to me, there is equally no best way to make Chelsea a better team than what Graham Potter has already started by both winning and drawng all recent matches with no lost. All he needs is just time, as he is barely less than 2months old as the new manager of Chelsea, appointed on 8 September 2022. And it will equally not be fair trying to compare his performance to that of Erik teng hang of Man-U and Pep Guardiola of Man-city who has been manager for quite a long time.

Barcelona are in trouble at UCL. But they played very well in the domestic league. Their next game was against Munich and Plzen, the first meeting Barcelona lost against Munich was against Plzen, Barcelona won. Tomorrow they should also be able to win against Munich although it seems very difficult, Xavi certainly must be able to work hard to maintain the hope of qualifying for the knockout phase. Furthermore even though they had to go to Viktoria Plzen's house it was an easier game so I think Barcelona should have won. I predict Barcelona to be able to gain 4 points. After that they will wait for another game.
There is one game left to qualify for the UEFA knockout stages, where Chelsea have already secured one ticket in the matches they have played, while AC Mila and FC Salzburg still have a chance, considering the current number of points is only one difference, moreover AC Milan will face FC Salzburg, If AC Mila draws and wins, then one ticket has been secured by Milan, and vice versa for Salzburg.
This will be an important match for both, considering the result of win or loss determines both clubs advance to the next round.
The last match for AC Milan in the group stage will take place at AC Milan and I am more confident that AC Milan can play well and win the match, although FC Salzburg will also try to secure its position in order to qualify for the round of 16. But it will be a very difficult thing for FC Salzburg because AC Milan will also not let their opponent win at home for the last match. And that last game looks like it will be very fierce for these two teams.This will be an important match for both, considering the result of win or loss determines both clubs advance to the next round.
Milan also have to learn from their previous match against Chelsea. Oliver Giroud should not be careless in the slightest, all their efforts and mentality must be shown in a very crucial match later. If Milan is able to qualify, it will be a brilliant record for them, because Milan has not felt qualified for the knockout phase for a very long time.
It turns out that the game Barcelona - Bayern will be really interesting if Inter does not win against Victoria, that is, there are very few chances for this. In my opinion, such games should be held simultaneously so as not to deprive the competition of intrigue. In the Champions League, even without this, a huge number of games are not interesting and do not contain any intrigue, so depriving the game of intrigue with such a loud sign is a crime. By the way, Bayern is apparently in a great mood and ready to play - Muller continues to troll Lewandowski on social networks.
Although football games have off days, I don't think Barcelona will beat Bayern Munich today. Even if they do, Inter will do everything they can to beat Victoria Plzen, who have lost all of their group stage matches so far. Inter Milan will host Victoria, so they have a good chance of winning, and even if they draw, they will qualify if Barcelona loses or draws today. But anything can happen in football; if Barcelona wins today, their final matches will determine who qualifies, assuming Inter also loses, which is unlikely. 
While most of us are upset on Juventus , can we take some time and appreciate Benfica ? They are on a roll this year in UCL and last night proved us again that they are indeed a better team than Juventus.
For Juve....I'm still shocked to see Allegri still a coach in this morning as I was 100% sure that he will be dismissed...

You are right, we have to praise them and naturally we have to talk about it (Benfica) because they are winners, and they have played tirelessly, which has made Juventus look like amateurs against them in the Champions League this season by winning the game at the Allianz Stadium and also win at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica.

Instead I see Inter will play hard in this match, they need a win to keep their chances of qualifying for the next round. On the other hand, Bayern Munic views this match as a prestige, automatically Bayern Munich will be eager to beat Barcelona and come out as grub champions.While Barcelona are not in a favorable condition, in the first leg Barcelona lost 2-0 to Munich, Barcelona's current position is three points behind Inter, while Inter have a great chance to beat Viktoria Plzen.
It's just a technical issue with the Champions League schedule, but it's not a big deal.

Muller shouldn't have done that, because they were once a team in Munich and are not enviable. 
PSG VS Maccabi
What an excellent victory PSG had yesterday, Messi has shown he remains better than Ronaldo with his marvelous second goal shot which he took from outside the box. This goal has made Messi the highest goal scorer from outside the box since 2004/2005 UCL,it has also broken Ronaldo's from outside side the box. Ronaldo has scored 22 goals and yesterday's Messi's goal made his 23 since they were on the same goals until yesterday's match.
There's something to also note about last night's game despite the fact that Maccabi Tell Aviv were mercilessly beaten. The way the Three: Messi, Neymar and Mbappe worked together in sync and all had their names on the score sheet it seems they have settled their differences and decided to work as a team.What an excellent victory PSG had yesterday, Messi has shown he remains better than Ronaldo with his marvelous second goal shot which he took from outside the box.

Messi is not someone who is desperate for goals else he would have taken that chance in the 84th min, instead he made it possible for Soler to also be in the score sheet.

RM vs Leipzig
Real Madrid lost yesterday to Leipzig, the match was incredible, the way Leipzig team played Real Madrid with courage and confidence scoring two goals in the first 18 minutes of the match. This kept Real Madrid unbalanced and is the first team to win them this season This is the second time Leipzig is winning their three straight matches in the group stage.
A brilliant PK by Rodrygo at the 94th minutes which ended the match at 3-2 lost.

What a beautiful game that of Benfica yesterday night.I am sorry for Juventus but Benfica this year is in top form both at home in the domestic league and both here at the Champions League.I did not expect anything except a win from them yesterday night and no that is not because Juventus is suffering and not playing the well both in Serie A and here but because even top teams like PSG could not win in Lisbona and that is a clear indication about the form of Benfica.It is great seeing them passing the group stage and hopefully they go much further.
I'm surprised that tomorrow's games Inter - Victoria and Barcelona - Bayern will be held at different times. If Inter wins, Barcelona will automatically go to the Europa League, regardless of the result of the game with Bayern. It turns out that Barcelona will know their fate in advance (if Inter wins) and this can hit their morale and motivation hard.
I think that with this outcome, the game Barcelona - Bayern (which has already taken first place in advance) turns into a friendly one. I think that this will not suit anyone who likes to watch uncompromising football.
The match in Group C is getting more and more interesting to watch, where Xavi Hernandez's squad must fight even harder to advance to the next round, although that hope is determined by Inter's match against Viktoria Plzen.I think that with this outcome, the game Barcelona - Bayern (which has already taken first place in advance) turns into a friendly one. I think that this will not suit anyone who likes to watch uncompromising football.
Xavi's team is more pressured than Bayern Munich, who has already made sure to qualify for the next phase, if Barcelona draws this match, and Inter's match results also draw, it is certain that Barcelona must return to the Europa League. Moreover, if Inter win, it is certain that they will lift the suitcase faster.
Speaking of opportunities, it looks like Barcelona are very unlikely to qualify, because Inter are facing a not so tough club, even in the first leg Inter were able to beat Viktoria Plzen two goals without replying at their home.

The defeat in the previous first leg was a lesson for dortmund so that in the second leg you can at least get 1 point at home, previously I thought Dortmund would lose again especially now that Haalaand is on fire in terms of scoring goals, but defense and also good performance from Kobel able to dampen the game from manchester city and force them to play a draw until the game was over, an additional 1 point for dortmund was enough to lock up 1 place in the round of 16 accompanying manchester city who has already qualified as group winners.
Actually, there was a result that suits both teams, although if Mahrez had managed to score a penalty, then City could have won. But since only a draw was enough for City, they did not form the match and everything ended as it should. The teams in Group H scored 16 goals in total in two matches, and Benfica and PSG have already reached the playoffs, while Juventus and Maccabi will have to decide in the last round who will get the UEFA League.
With the way Manchester City played against Dortmund yesterday, I thought Man city just didn't want to win that much. They played with a kind of laxity, but it is quite understandable that they qualified despite the draw. Haarland was marked very carefully and although a penalty was missed, let's hope they make it through to the final rounds were other teams won't be as gentle as Dortmund.
Before the match yesterday, Manchester City was leading their group with good point different, I think last night they played with laxity and was too relaxed in that match. Looking at their fixtures last night from their defence line, they played with more of central defenders and was more conscious of their midfield than attack, they also drop two of their attacking mid fielder , the likes of Kelvin Debruyne and Benado Silver who could have make good different in the match.
With their position in the group I think their game plan was at least to get a draw from that match so that they will maintain their lead in the group and which they achieved in the end of the game.
While most of us are upset on Juventus , can we take some time and appreciate Benfica ? They are on a roll this year in UCL and last night proved us again that they are indeed a better team than Juventus.

AC Milan has to do everything to get a win in this match, their third in the group with four points. Dinamo also has four points and at the bottom of the group. It's an interesting game, both team need a win to advance ahead to Europa league because I don't see the possibility for them to advance to the knockout stage of UEFA, Chelsea and FC salzburg will qualify to the next stage. In they draw again today and either AC Milan or Dinamo won, then one can say the group is still open. Chelsea only need a draw and one winning to qualify to the next stage. I believe they can get a win today.
There is one game left to qualify for the UEFA knockout stages, where Chelsea have already secured one ticket in the matches they have played, while AC Mila and FC Salzburg still have a chance, considering the current number of points is only one difference, moreover AC Milan will face FC Salzburg, If AC Mila draws and wins, then one ticket has been secured by Milan, and vice versa for Salzburg.This will be an important match for both, considering the result of win or loss determines both clubs advance to the next round.
When it comes to AC Milan's prospects of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League, they have quite a big chance. Moreover, I believe Milan will beat Salzburg in their last meeting at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the sixth round.
Despite needing just a point to finish second behind Chelsea, Milan's players are adamant they will be aiming for the three points against Salzburg and they must not falter let alone lose. This is because they played in front of Milanisti.
Dortmund is entirely under pressure from Man City. City dominated the match. unfortunately, City did not get enough opportunities. even with such strong ball possession. It still has not made City penetrate Dortmund's defense.
Dortmund has tried hard, at least not to lose like the meeting in the first leg. Dortmund uses the right strategy. they learned from the defeat in the previous session.

The last match for AC Milan in the group stage will take place at AC Milan and I am more confident that AC Milan can play well and win the match, although FC Salzburg will also try to secure its position in order to qualify for the round of 16. But it will be a very difficult thing for FC Salzburg because AC Milan will also not let their opponent win at home for the last match. And that last game looks like it will be very fierce for these two teams.

Yesterday’s matches wasn’t that interesting at least for me since most of the teams already knows who’s qualified for the next stage, Real Madrid took the first lose in champions league this year PSG scored 7 goals against Haifa, i wasn’t waiting for that score with Manchester City against Borussia Dortmund they both had a lot of chances to score but nobody did it even there was a missed penalty by Haland.
Anyway today I’m so excited for the latch of Barcelone against Bayern Munich which is very important for Barcelone to win it in case they want to qualify to the next round otherwise more chances for Inter Milan beside Bayern Munich, the match is very exciting since we saw that Barcelone could win their last matches easily and Xavi gained a bit of his trust back with new strategies of playing. Especially after changing the defense old player such as piqué and alba

Coming top at the group stage match is a good job looking at where Chelsea was headed to at the starting of the EUFA group stage matches under Thomas Tuchel.
Manchester City are back against Dortmund which we know Manchester City are safe and they don't need any more points but this time it will be different but it's more interesting Dortmund is a slightly more dangerous opponent but I think I have hope for Manchester with @1.73 chances on the other side The hosts certainly need points but I think even if Dortmun loses tonight there is still hope in the next match to win.
I watched that game and even though it was a 0-0 in the end it was a pretty good match to watch in my opinion. Manchester City had a way higher ball possession than Dortmund but that was to be expected. Dortmund though had 3 or 4 pretty good chances to score a goal after counter attacks in the first half so Dortmund could have definitely scored at least one goal there.
In the second half Dortmund also started strong but after 10 Minutes or so they lost control over the game. Manchester City even got a penalty but Mahrez did not make that one. Overall i would say the draw is a fair result. ManCity was qualified for the knockout stage before the match anyway.
Dortmund has tried hard, at least not to lose like the meeting in the first leg. Dortmund uses the right strategy. they learned from the defeat in the previous session.

well this match, which is between Milan vs. RB Salzburg, will be quite tense. because the result of this match really determines the fate of whether or not one of these two teams will qualify. But I personally look more at Milan's advantage in the match. considering the condition of Milan which is better than before. but Salzburg are also a strong team so it's going to be a tough game for sure. Congratulations to Chelsea for securing the ticket. This will be an important match for both, considering the result of win or loss determines both clubs advance to the next round.
