UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

indeed winning with a narrow score has not provided comfort for ac milan but they have better capital to look at the second leg. I hope AC Milan can repeat the big win at home to Napoli.

But this goal could still give them a big advantage as they will start the next match without pressure, while Napoli will be required to score fast in order to get everything to the zero point. Despite the performance of Napoli in the Serie A this season, Milan has great history in the Champions League with 7 titles. On the other hand, Napoli has no history in this competition, but that doesn't deny that they are trying to achieve something this season. However, these two defeats against Milan in both Serie A and the Champions League could affect them psychologically in the next match.

For Napoli they will try hard to score early because this will affect their spirit to dominate the game. Ac milan will be lucky enough if they are able to maintain the advantage they have and for sure they will play carefully in the second leg later.  automatically Napoli will play more aggressively to put pressure on ac milan to break the opponent's mentality if they are able to score early.

In terms of experience, Ac Milan is the perfect team in the Champions League. They can repeat this if they can beat Napoli in the second leg later. Osimhen will play in the second leg that is a big strength for Napoli to get a win in the second leg.

Yeah right. That AC Milan has experience and a long history in the Champions League. so mentally the Milan team is much more prepared. but actually Napoli just had bad luck at the moment. because they have lost in 2 consecutive meetings from Ac Milan as a result of Napoli having a forward crisis at the moment. especially since Osimhen is yet to recover from injury. because if Osimhen had not had the injury then I think the result would have been different this time.

in the second leg Napoli will indeed be in a slightly depressed condition because they have left behind by 1 goal in the first leg. but if Napoli's injured forwards come back then I think Napoli can make a splash in the second leg.

Chelsea management's major mistake was to sack their former coach Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea's performances have been somewhat erratic since the start of the season. Given Tuchel enough time, he might have been able to stabilize the team. But Chelsea management sacked their coach. And the new coach could not improve the team. Instead, Chelsea's performance has been weaker. And now Chelsea's performance is very weak. It is very unlikely that Chelsea can get back on track this season.

Change of ownership and then sacking of Thomas Tuchel bring down badly this one of the best club in Premier League because new management completely fail to understand the chemistry of this club, and they have done few changes which have bad impact on this club and its success now they need a long time strategy for having better and successful unit which bring golden days back, and they are able to win trophies again.

Graham Potter was not experienced for managing club like Chelsea so his strategy and few changes hurt them badly now we have Frank Lampard which is doing caretaker duty which is not easy but most chances he will try to have things in positive way even there is no chance for them to have rank near 7 number in league table or beat Real Madrid in second leg.

Napoli has no more experience in Champion League and lead until quarter final is this season become best achievement, but has good performance in domestic league not guarantee for Napoli winning against AC Milan. Seems has psychologically effect after Napoli defeating in domestic league with 4-0 and Milan can continue the impressive performance on second leg indeed won 1-0.

For Napoli chance lead to semifinal is not close, they have second leg and 90 minutes for scoring two goals above if want get first experience lead until semifinal of champion league. Serie A team seems dominance in champion league quarter final because they have three team and potential with final stage have participants from Serie A after Inter winning 2-0 on first leg and potential with Serie A semifinal match.

Osimhen will try for sure to do the difference in the next match against Milan. It is only a question of mentality, Osimhen could be that something of more that can let Napoli try to reach semi-finals. Also, on tuesday there

will be many fans so I expect a really funny match, in my opinion Napoli will beat Milan and will go to the semifinal, they are too angry  (but who I am? Let's see what will happen)

At a given time in life or season of any club, a particular player will become their pathway to success. The current world champion was shouldered by Messi. Benzema was instrumental in the trophies of Real Madrid last season. Osimhen is Napoli's hitman for this season. His absence will always affect their performance. I am sure that Victor would have scored in any or both of the two last marches with Milan. But the second leg champions league game will be a cracker. I think Milan's coach will reserve two players to properly mark Victor. He might not score any goals in the return leg but he will definitely be part of Napoli's goals.

Yeah I agree, right now Victor Osimhen is man of the moment for the Napoli and their success in Serie A and Champions League with his absence they already suffered badly in their last two games against AC Milan so now most chances he will be available for the second leg and done his job for having dream end of this season because currently they are having good combination which can bring success for them with they are already at the top of league in Serie A and their new challenge is reaching into last four of the Champions League.

If they are able to do this surely this could be amazing stuff now we have to watch AC Milan how they will handle this all and their last two successes will give them confidence for the third win or draw, or their season is going to end in Champions League with this match.

If in the second leg it turns out that Osimhen has recovered and is playing for Napoli against AC Milan. then maybe I wouldn't hesitate to bet on Napoli in that game. because I'm pretty sure the match will be more interesting and Napoli will be favored in that match. But that doesn't mean I underestimate AC Milan. because I also know that Milan is a strong team and also has a superior mentality in the Champions League than Napoli. but I feel confident in Napoli's superiority because when Osimhen is present on the field, I always see Napoli's players become more confident in building attacks. which will make Napoli's attack line even sharper if Osimhen is around.

No matter how hard you do it, Victor Oshime can not be halted especially this season, he's being a victor for the Napoli side, although, the head coach Luciano Spalletti has been a boneheaded person for saying they can win without Victor Oshime, so how far did it go ?

He's been the number nine in the world currently even with all of the best attacking midfielder's to give him support, he's been banging goals and pushing the team upwards. He's had a huge role for his side being sixteen points past Lazio in the Seria A standing. In the next game he will be present at the Diego Maradona Stadium. He'll be victorious alongside his squad against Ac Milan.

Victor Osimhen is a real goal machine guys
he scored a lot of goals and Napoli doesn't work 100% without him
i have a lot of respect for this player, who scored 21 goals!

Two times napoli was playing against ac milan without osimhen. Napoli was losing two times in a row against ac milan. That proves how important osimhen is to the club. The secondary striker can do nothing against ac milan. Victor osimhen sometimes was giving some golden chances for their team mates to make goals. Kvarat doesn't have chemistry with elmas. That is also giving a huge impact on the team.

The great news is if spalletti already confirmed that osimhen will be playing in the second leg.

Luciano Spalletti confirmed that Victor Osimhen would join Napoli for their upcoming clash against Hellas Verona and looked back on the Champions League quarter-final loss to Milan.

The chance for napoli to make its comeback against ac milan is still there since napoli was only losing 1-0 in the first leg against ac milan.

I hope that kvarat and osimhen will make lots of goal against ac milan in the second leg.

Napoli had to fight hard to beat Ac milan. Two consecutive defeats made the mentality fall when facing Ac milan. I would even judge that people would really believe that Osimhen comeback would have a good impact on Napoli and that is very natural because he is the heart of Napoli in scoring goals.  However, what Napoli should be aware of is the revival of Leao and Giroud performance in the second leg later because the two Ac Milan stars were able to provide quite a strong problem for Napoli's back line.

For a big score I think it might be difficult to happen even if this were to become a reality only the team that scored the first goal would do that. most likely the score of the second leg will end with a thin score even if a draw is a pretty big chance.

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.

It's absolutely a huge insult to Thomas Tuchel when we compare him to Frank Lampard and that I think isn't even cool for football fans. The problem and poor results that Chelsea is currently facing is the lack of patience from the new owner Todd Boehly in sacking Thomas Tuchel because of his poor start to the season and I think he did that because he wasn't at the club's heirarchy when Tuchel was appointed. Chelsea would've been serious contenders in the biggest available competitions if he had allowed Tuchel to remain as the manager and support Tuchel by spending the same huge amount of money Chelsea has spent this in the last two transfer windows on Tuchel's preferred players.

Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked because of his poor performance but instead sacked because of the disagreement he was having with the then new owners of Chelsea in regards to the transfer window. If you remember correctly, Todd Boehly was highly interested in Cristiano Ronaldo due to the benefits of having a star player in the squad but Thomas Tuchel had other plans and I think this was were their issue started from. Also if you remember, Todd Boehly take over came with sacking other personals that was in Abramovich administration so Thomas Tuchel had to go. When he was sacked, their where statement form football journalist that the sacking had nothing to do with the bad form the team was on but other factors like what I have said above contributed.

I'm not a big fan of Frank Lampard as a coach but I believe he'll become a great coach someday, he just needs to relax and go back to learning because just been a good player and a club legend doesn't mean that you'll automatically become a great coach. Frank Lampard isn't ready to become a top coach yet, he needs to go back to manage teams in the championshilp as Vincent company has done then promote that team to the premier league and that's how his path to the premier league would had gone and he'll gather enough experience that way to lead teams to success in the premier league.

Napoli's players are shaken after their defeat by AC Milan. In the next match, expect Napoli to be as impressive as before as losing a match won't make any big changes in the team. So I hope this match will ensure Napoli victory.

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 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.
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.

1-0 is not a big problem for napoli. Ac milan will be playing away for the second leg. The good news is osimhen will able to play against ac milan. This will be a good signal for napoli. Osimhen is top scorer in serie a. He will become a nightmare for ac milane in the second leg.

I think that there shall be no need to feel worried about napoli even though napoli was losing its aggregate against ac milan. Since napoli will able to use full squads in the next leg. This can become very good. Ac milan needs to prepare its defensive line caused by napoli will come with full power at its home.
Glad to see that a controversial referee was already deactivated by UEFA caused of his controversial decision in the previous match when napoli was facing ac milan. He will not become a referee again until the end of UCL.

UEFA has been taking such a great decision by deactivating him from the rest of match in UCL. I hope that the second match will be led by far referee.

I think Napoli can reverse the result, I even made a post citing the reasons why I believe so: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5408355.msg62092524#msg62092524

Talking about champions league, it is never guaranteed a qualification by winning the first game, how many times haven't we seen historic comebacks?
A 1-0 loss is not a catastrophe. Contrary to what happened to Bayern, that is a tragedy, 3-0 is a lot.

A campaign as good as the one Napoli has been doing this season, in my opinion they deserve the spot, there are 3 Italian teams alive in the Champions League, and Napoli is the leader in the national championship, italian level is good again.

Benfica is also in a very complicated situation, and also once again, my opinion is that they won't be able to beat Inter by 2 or more goals difference, unfortunately.
I was hoping for Benfica to classify, but losing 2-0 playing in Portugal, made it very complicated.

The aggregate advantage in the first leg has made Milan even more confident to play the second leg later at home to Napoli. But indeed, the absence of Osimhen in several Napoli matches made it very difficult for them to beat Milan.

If we look at Napoli's domestic league match today they benched Kvaratskhelia, surely Spalletti wants to rest him before the match against milan in the second leg starts next week. It seems that in the second leg later we will also be presented with a duet from Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, which is likely he (Osimhen) has recovered from injury right in that match.

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.

IMO, Napoli rely too much on Osimhen as a goal machine for them. when Osimhen was absent due to injury, Napoli found it difficult to win his matches, both in the Domestic league or when they traveled to San Siro, Milan's headquarters in the Champions League competition. In the first leg, I said that Milan would win the game and it did. apart from playing at their own headquarters, Milan benefited from Napoli's position which was not strengthened by their star players. which in the end, Napoli struggled to break into Milan's goal. as a result, Milan won the fight.

well, in the second leg later. I am quite optimistic that the fight will take place with high tension. moreover, if it is certain that Osimhem will play in the match. lagging behind 1-0 on aggregate, making Napoli show the best version of the game. that means, Napoli will play it out to overthrow Milan. even so, we can not speculate too far. because, we don't have the latest information about these two teams yet. So, let's just wait for the two teams to meet in the second leg on April 19.
