UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

About the rematch between Napoli and Milan I feel very positive for Napoli this time. It was the same for the first leg as well by the way but Napoli couldn't become very effective due to lacking Osimhen's finishing skills. But they were still able to create so many goal opportunities. They at least prevented a bigger loss while they were wasting so many chances. But this time things must be more different. I have started to believe in Napoli's advancing to the next stage more than ever thanks to Osimhen's returnal.

I'm just indecisive about if they can eliminate Milan in regular time. It depends on the resistance level of Milan defense actually. But defending hasn't been the best thing they do in this season so we never know. If they can't keep full concentration on the match then Napoli have the power to make use of it.

Osimhen is a very important player for Napoli. With his recovery from his injury, it is hoped that Osimhen will perform well with his team when playing against AC Milan. so, it's only natural that Napoli is the favorite to win the second leg later over AC Milan. after all, this match will be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, headquarters of Napoli. lagging behind on aggregate 1-0, making Napoli have to play it all out to turn things around and win the match. I'm sure Napoli will be more in control of the game. it's just that, AC Milan will not let Napoli win the fight so easily.

Moreover, Milan has won the aggregate in the first leg, plus has the motivation to overthrow Napoli for the third time this season.  so, it was not an easy matter for Luciano Spalleti's team to win the battle. in fact, the Milan coach only needed a draw to qualify for the next round phase. Well, let's just wait because this fight will be held in the next two days.

I wasn't expecting such thing like winning both of the games from Inter. Because Benfica have technically been doing much better than Inter this season in general.

Benfica are getting closer to the Liga Portugal title every week. They lost their last two games which led to Porto's decreasing the point difference to 4 points though. But still there are six weeks remaining and Benfica are the closest team to make it. Their Champions League performance has also been impressive in general. Their group stage performance against PSG was also great. When I thought of all of this I waited for them to play solid against Inter. But there was just a loss by 2-0 at the end. I don't think they can make a comeback from this situation.

I was even very surprised by the results. because I also predict that Benfica is a strong team that can trouble Inter Milan. because even Inter Milan is in an inconsistent condition in Serie A. And it's different from Benfica who continues to show good performance in every match in the Portuguese league. But it seems that Inter Milan's experience in the Champion's league is much better. so Inter Milan's mentality is far above Benfica. but in the second leg I think Benfica could make a surprise.

[hahay]

right now Bayern's performance is very bad in the bundesliga especially when they have to face Manchester city. I really can't think of how they can turn this situation around in the second leg later, and in my opinion it's almost impossible even though Bayern will be playing at home.

Manchester City ensure that they made good use of their advantage at home to give themselves a very good lead, If Bayern will win Manchester city to qualify to the next round, they will need to put pressure on them from the starting of the game to the end and ensure that they play overall better than Manchester City. This is a very difficult thing for any team to currently do against Manchester City with how good they are. Even if you dominate the first half, they will play better in the second half. Bayern have a chance, but it is a very little one.

Basically, Bayern Munich has no chance of turning things around, because beating Manchester City with a big score is a very difficult task. Also, even though for example Bayern Munich can beat Manchester City, then of course the victory that Bayern Munich gets may only be with a low score like 1-0 or 2-1.

So yes, for me personally Bayern Munich has no chance of qualifying, because Manchester City still has a very good squad and of course Haaland's sharpness will mean that Manchester City will still be able to score goals. Therefore, I personally have no doubt that Manchester City will not lose in this second leg, but a draw is still possible and that means Manchester City will still qualify for the semifinals.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich will never be able to beat Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Because Manchester City is leading 3-0 in the first leg, Bayern Munich must win at least 4-0 in the second leg. Which I think Bayern Munich will never do.

Milan lost their opportunity of qualifying to the next stage after the won Napoli 1-0. They were suppose to use the absence of Oshimen as an advantage for them to score more goals just like what they did in their domestic league against Napoli that they won 4-0. Milan 1-0 victory in the first leg is not enough for them to qualify.

As long as Oshimen will play in the second leg,definitely Napoli will win the game. We saw how they missed good opportunities of scoring which was impossible due to the lack of a good striker. Now that their hit man is back,so many opportunities will not be wasted,he will convert them to goals. Milan struggled on the first leg to secure their victory,Napoli needs to win from 2 goals up,for them to qualify to the semifinals because I don't think Milan will be able to score any goal in that match.

Manchester City is in another level of game coordination and team understanding. After watching the English Premier League match between Manchester City and Leicester City. I understood that Manchester City is very much out to win the Champions League of this season. The only club that is able to stop Manchester City is Real Madrid. Manchester City squad cohesion is very strong and the bonding between Kelvin and Haaland is very strong with that linkage. And either of them not having injuries Manchester City is sure of getting to the final of the Champions League.

For the return leg with Bayern, I did not see the opportunity of Bayern Munich to win Manchester City amidst the understanding between Mane and Sane and the rest of the team.

Bayern Munich will never be able to beat Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Because Manchester City is leading 3-0 in the first leg, Bayern Munich must win at least 4-0 in the second leg. Which I think Bayern Munich will never do.

This season Manchester City is different from a few seasons ago in the Champions League. Not because of the results in the 1st leg, but overall they are better than Bayern Munich who are having some internal problems.
In our opinion, the situation had an impact on their performance.

Last season, Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga, 8 points difference with Dortmund, who are their competitors.
This season Bayern Munich in 28 new games have collected 59 points. The difference with Dortmund is only 2.

Based on the results of leg 1, Manchester City will be difficult to stop because 3 goals without reply can only happen if there is a miracle so that the game can go to extra time.

Despite a narrow aggregate lead for Milan, that won't keep them safe for 90 minutes and things like a lot of goals can still happen. Therefore if Milan want to get rid of Napoli in the QF round then they have to carry out a total attack without any doubts.

On the other hand, Napoli benefited greatly because as the host and the return of the Napoli duo this season Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia made Napoli even more confident in being able to get rid of Milan by surpassing the number of aggregate points. Maybe I won't see extra time in this game or penalty shootouts because 90 minutes is enough time for Napoli to destroy Milan's hopes.

I'm not so sure Napoli will win, although I also think Napoli are favourites to win this game... But the last two meetings have been for Milan, with one of the games being won 0-4 away... This is complicated by the fact that they are clubs from the same league who know each other very well. I guess it all depends on the tactics the coach chooses... Whoever has the better strategy will win...

Osimhen's return is a threat to Milan. Of course this has to be true, considering that so far this season Osimhen is one of the most productive strikers in Serie A. Napoli have lost 2 defeats to Milan during Osimhen's absence, so in the second leg Milan will really feel the threat of the striker. .

But after all, Osimhen is not the savior who is always able to make Napoli win. The second leg is so important for both teams, Milan will definitely fight for a ticket to the semi-finals this season regardless of who is the favorite in the second leg. Napoli will obviously be the favourites, but Milan has an advantage that must be maintained.

There are still many opportunities that Napoli can take good advantage of. This thin speed should be able to motivate the Napoli players to launch a full attack in Leg 2. Not only Milan will do this, but Napoli is the most anticipated candidate to reach the final. With the opportunity to play in Leg 2, of course the final result will be difficult to predict because both clubs will do their best. Milan may not have been ideal in the league but this time they want to revive their history after a long absence.

Napoli without the osimhen & Kvaratskhelia duo playing full time un the recent matches since 19 march were really bad downturn ... in the last 4 matches they are losing it two times draw once and win it for one time only after the whole season they are nearly become invincible .

Osimhen absence really make a huge impact , this time he is ready to play 90 minutes in a crucial match against ac milan who leading 1 - 0 at the frist leg of UCL , i bet napoli will still fail.

Personally I think the second leg is really unpredictable. Napoli will certainly play Osimhen from the first half, it will definitely increase their strength in attack. While the two teams have comparable chances even if Milan lead the first leg with a victory. I would not fully think Napoli will fail, but I tend to think Milan can advance to the next round this season.

Anyone can still qualify from this quarter-final stage, but perhaps what is less interesting is that we will again see two Serie A teams likely to batlle in the semi-finals. Inter is very likely to qualify, so one between Napoli and Milan will meet Inter in the semi-finals.

I think it will be very difficult to predict the result of this match. Milan has been playing well against Napoli recently, they beat them recently in the Italian championship even 4:0 at home, but this is still a different game, the most important game of the season for both teams.
Napoli is playing at home and their main striker Osimhen is back, which gives them a slight advantage in return.
On the other hand, Napoli will be under a lot of pressure and if Milan impose their game, like in the championship game, then it will be very difficult for Napoli.
In the first game, Napoli missed an opportunity for a much better result, and now a lot will depend on who will score the first goal.

Although Milan beat Napoli by a huge margin in the previous match, I think Napoli won't make those machete mistakes in the second leg and might be able to beat Milan in a big way. Because I think the Napoli team is a team with a different performance.

[salad daging]

I was even very surprised by the results. because I also predict that Benfica is a strong team that can trouble Inter Milan. because even Inter Milan is in an inconsistent condition in Serie A. And it's different from Benfica who continues to show good performance in every match in the Portuguese league. But it seems that Inter Milan's experience in the Champion's league is much better. so Inter Milan's mentality is far above Benfica. but in the second leg I think Benfica could make a surprise.

Last week's match alone, Inter Milan could not win at home. This adds to their bad record in Serie A for the last few matches, but this is completely different when in the UCL, Inter Milan is still quite sure of the mentality they have, even though you can see the statistics are different, but we'll see how it will be a surprise in the second leg whether Inter Milan is able to maintain or if they return to balance.

We can see later that Benfica will play very aggressively to pursue the highest aggregate goal, with goals at this time of course being tough for Benfica, but they still have opportunities at home as motivation for the game in front of their fans.

Indeed, with Napoli favored until the final match, the opponent will face more difficult. But before we go any further into the final round, Napoli really need to win at home to ensure their next move. For Milan, indeed this team has been asleep for a long time and with the history they have in the champions league, they are still a strong candidate for the semifinals even though at this time their chances are quite small with the return of the full squad that belongs to Napoli in the second leg later.

[skarais]

In the first game, Napoli missed an opportunity for a much better result, and now a lot will depend on who will score the first goal.

If in the first leg Milan has a high probability of winning, then in the second leg the probability shows that Napoli is the favourite. I think it's influenced by the return of their best striker, but in any case Milan still has a chance to hold Napoli to a draw at least. Whoever scores the first goal I think they will win, and I think this is one of the plans that Luciano Spalletti is very likely to hope for tomorrow.

The pressure is on for Napoli, they haven't won 2 match in a row at home recently including against Verona yesterday. Even though Osimhen played in that match as substitute, Napoli still failed to win the match which ended 0-0.

[Slow death]

Anyone can still qualify from this quarter-final stage, but perhaps what is less interesting is that we will again see two Serie A teams likely to batlle in the semi-finals. Inter is very likely to qualify, so one between Napoli and Milan will meet Inter in the semi-finals.

seeing the performance of milan that has serious problems in the attack, just see that in the last 3 games of milan in all competitions they have not been able to score more than 1 goal and napoli also without their main striker has not scored many goals but has also shown good defense, in my opinion if napoli plays with their main striker from the beginning of the game then napoli can win this game, the central problem without a doubt is if napoli could manage to score 2 goals in this game, because milan does not will play in the attack, they will play to defend the result that already benefits them a lot

I was even very surprised by the results. because I also predict that Benfica is a strong team that can trouble Inter Milan. because even Inter Milan is in an inconsistent condition in Serie A. And it's different from Benfica who continues to show good performance in every match in the Portuguese league.

knowing that benfica in all seasons when it comes to the end of the season they start with bad performances so I see benfica not being able to pass to another phase, and it is absolutely certain that benfica will not be able to score 3 goals without conceding a goal in that game, that is impossible, benfica will not advance in the next phase, inter that even with a mediocre performance managed to be lucky to play against a weak team, but I also doubt very much that in the next phase it will be against napoli or milan inter will not do well, it will be by the way. that's why if milan or napoli go through, they'll be very lucky to play against inter

[ShowOff]

But before we go any further into the final round, Napoli really need to win at home to ensure their next move. For Milan, indeed this team has been asleep for a long time and with the history they have in the champions league, they are still a strong candidate for the semifinals even though at this time their chances are quite small with the return of the full squad that belongs to Napoli in the second leg later.

Napoli can't just win without worrying about failure. Milan have found a good rhythm in their two meetings against Napoli, even now I am very sure to hope that the Milan derby will be presented in the Champions League semi-finals this season. Napoli excelled in the second leg because they were playing at home, but were not automatically able to beat Milan, who had an aggregate advantage.

In the press conference on 17 April 2023, I thought Pioli was very enthusiastic about going into the second leg with maturity. Milan have tried to create the best moments of the season, but their job is still tough because of Napoli's characteristics as a strong team this season.

PIOLI: "A DELICATE BUT MOTIVATING MATCH"

"I think it's great to play matches at this level, also because of the atmosphere they generate. It will certainly fire the Napoli players up, but the same will apply to us. There's not much separating the sides after the first leg; we have a very small advantage but need to finish the job by playing at a really high level. We'll need to manage possession well, and the team that do better with their chances will win. Napoli started better than us at San Siro, and this should serve as a lesson for us: a good approach could be key."
