2022–23 UEFA Champions League

I've searched forums a bit but no luck. What is best way to reserve champions league final tickets for 2023 in Istanbul?

 

Spurs v Marseille? Good home win to start the campaign.

 

Marseille unbeaten in 6, 5 wins and a draw. Spurs unbeaten in 6, 4 wins and 2 draws. This, I think will be close.

 

Club Brugge from Pot 4 got a 0-0 at Atletico Madrid to advance with 2 games left.

Juventus lost 2-0 at Maccabi Haifa of Israel, who won their first Group Stage game since 2002. That leaves Juventus 5 points behind the top two. They must win at Benfica and hosting Paris-Saint Germain, and needs one of them to not beat Maccabi Haifa, whose 7.000 coefficients is extremely low for a Group Stage club. Italy also has AC Milan in third. Inter is second, and is playing now at Barcelona. If Barcelona wins by at least 2 to win the head-to-head tiebreaker, Inter will be in bad shape.

The only perfect clubs are Napoli, who advanced, and Bayern Munich, who leads 2-0 in their fourth game at Viktoria Plzen of Czech Republic, and could advance today. Club Brugge, Napoli, Real Madrid (10 points), and Manchester City (10 points) advanced.

 

Interesting how Spurs won with no Kulu, Son and Richarlison. Looking forward to January signings to strengthen the squad further. Should a coach bring the top names back when they're fit or continue with a winning team? Long standing dilemma for a coach.

 

4 teams finished this year's CL group stage without winning a single game: Rangers and Viktoria Plzen on 0 points, Celtic on 2 points (2 draws), and Copenhagen on 3 points (3 draws).

In previous years (just did some quick research):

2021-22: 4 winless teams (Besiktas, Dynamo Kyiv, Malmo, Shakhtar Donetsk) - Besiktas finished on 0 points

2020-21: 5 winless teams (Lokomotiv Moscow, Midtjylland, Rennes, Ferencvaros, Zenit St Petersburg) - no one finished on 0 points but three separate teams (Rennes, Ferencvaros, Zenit) finished on 1 apiece

2019-20: 5 winless teams (Club Brugge, Galatasaray, Genk, Lille, Slavia Prague) - the worst were Genk and Lille with only 1 point apiece, and Club Brugge and Galatasaray were both in Group A, meaning that Group A had 2 teams fail to record a single win

2018-19: 4 winless teams (Monaco, PSV, AEK Athens, Hoffenheim) - AEK Athens finished on 0 points

*2017-18: 7 winless teams (Benfica, Olympiacos, Qarabag, Maribor, Monaco, Borussia Dortmund, APOEL)

*2016-17: 7 winless teams (Ludogorets Razgrad, Basel, Celtic, PSV, CSKA Moscow, Club Brugge, Dinamo Zagreb)

*2015-16: 2 winless teams (Astana, Maccabi Tel Aviv)

*2014-15: 3 winless teams (Galatasaray, APOEL, Maribor)

*2013-14: 4 winless teams (Real Sociedad, Anderlecht, Steaua Bucuresti, Marseille)

*2012-13: 4 winless teams (Dinamo Zagreb, Montpellier, Manchester City , Nordsjaelland)

*Seasons which took place before the most recent change in country slot allocations in 2018-19

Is the 32-team CL group stage not competitive enough? I wonder how the proposed revamp in a couple seasons' time will affect this, I get the feeling things will get even worse...

 

based on the European ranking, PSG vs Bayern is the most strongest double from Round of 16. I use a simple "system" to calculate the power (index) of a match: average of the positions of the involved teams.

3.5 - Paris Saint-Germain (6th) vs FC Bayern Munchen (1st)
4.0 - Liverpool FC (3rd) vs Real Madrid CF (5th)
7.5 - RB Leipzig (13th) vs Manchester City (2nd)
8.0 - Inter (9th) vs FC Porto (7th)
11.0 - Borussia Dortmund (18th) vs Chelsea FC (4th)
18.0 - Club Brugge K.V. (26th) vs SL Benfica (12th)
24.5 - Eintracht Frankfurt (29th) vs SSC Napoli (20th)
28.0 - AC Milan (32th) vs Tottenham Hotspur (24th)

 

I'm surprised that there is so little discussion here about PSG vs Bayern today (March 8, 2023). Maybe this is the wrong part of the forum?

I'm looking forward to the game. I wonder what Neymar's absence will do to PSG's chances.

 

Probably will grow their chances from 1% to 2% or something like that I never thought PSG had a chance at this double, but they played well in the first leg. It's normal, as what name they have in the team

 

I know. This match is HUGE, some of the best players in the world of this century so far are on the pitch tonight, but there is very little hype which is strange in the aftermath of the epic World Cup Final.

 

I've watched most PSG games this season and they have some serious weaknesses that they get away with in Ligue 1 but they have immense firepower in Messi and Mbappé. It will be a tight game, the pressure is on, neither of the Titans want to go out in Round of 16, it will be EPIC!

 

I think only the top-price seats are available now, they are $2000.

Did anyone hear about Champions League final tickets? Why they are not accepting applications yet. Usually it was in March.

 

Maybe Turkey earthquake disrupted this?

 

they are probably waiting for quarterfinals to end. I'd expect it end of next week, or even week after.

with new rules and payment after allocation nearly impossible to get anyway
