CL 2022/23 Predictions

Lets kick off this CL season with a few predictions:

Which two teams will reach the final?

Who is your dark horse for this year's CL?

Which 'unconventional' team will dazzle and make an unprecedented run to the semis? (Dortmund, Ajax, Roma, etc)

Which player will have a breakout CL year?

Which top team will make an early exit? (R16 and Groups)

Will Neymar be injured again in spring?

Who will be top scorer in the CL this season?

I've given up on predicting who wins the CL this early.

No one saw Madrid winning in 2022.

No one saw Chelsea winning in 2021.

No one saw Bayern winning in 2020. I mean at the start of the season Kovac was still their coach.

Which two teams will reach the final?

Bayern Munich and Man City.

Reckon this is Bayern's year

Who is your dark horse for this year's CL?

Real Madrid

Na seriously, none of the smaller teams give me the going the distance vibes. It'll be the usual suspects going far.

Which 'unconventional' team will dazzle and make an unprecedented run to the semis? (Dortmund, Ajax, Roma, etc)

None I don't think. I want to say Spurs or Rangers but I wouldn't bet on it.

Which player will have a breakout CL year?

Musiala, Tchouaméni or Leao

Which top team will make an early exit? (R16 and Groups)

Barca and QSG

Will Neymar be injured again in spring?

No, don't think so

Who will be top scorer in the CL this season?

Haaland

Can’t see Bayern winning tbh. They don’t have enough numbers defending counters. They’re also a team that has had a culture of spamming crosses for this last decade. Losing Lewa their man reference point and not replacing him with a similar player can hurt them when they’re down a goal.

They still create many chances and defence doesn't have to be the best in order to win CL. I think we proved that last year. Bayern will always be a threat. I just have a tingling feeling that this might be their year
