UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

Benfica just scored in first minute but it was offside.
My money is on Benfica win tonight. Joao Mario is looking for a legit goal now.

It should be pretty easy game for Benfika. They are stronger team and have such a big chance to advance to next round.

Chelsea will lose this match full-time today because Dortmund is a strong team. Although Chelsea win their last match but l it's a bit complicated for them to win tonight's match

I personally think, that Dortmund will win today. Yes it is true, that Dortmund has won 11 games in a row so far in this year but if you have watched the games of Dortmund then it was pretty obvious, that they were really lucky to win a few of those games. In at least 4 or 5 matches of those 11 they were not the better team, but still somehow managed to win it. It was the same in the first leg against Chelsea because the blues had way more big chances to score back then but just were not efficient enough.
The game today is running for a few minutes now and so far Chelsea is completely dominant. If the game continues like that, then it is only a matter of time before Chelsea will score.

[Prince Malik]

Chelsea team will absolutely do everything today to qualify to the next round, if they got eliminated this will absolutely be the end of the season for them, Dortmund have the advantage because they won the first leg with one goal but this may not be enough, Chelsea started the match in a good way and if they continue this way i think they will score one or 2 goals

[Docnaster]

The erratic performance made me worry about Real Madrid. After they won from Liverpool Real Madrid have not been able to win in a few games. But the three-goal difference in the first leg might make me a little more optimistic Real Madrid will qualify in the next phase.
This is because Liverpool just won 7-0 against Man United. Even though mentally Madrid's quality is much better than Man United. Liverpool still have a chance even a little bit. Making three goals at the Bernabeu won't be easy.

Don't worry too much buddy, Real Madrid won't let Liverpool qualify for the quarter-finals even if they win the match.
Liverpool were indeed shocked the world after conquering the red devils with a score of 7-0, it was a fantastic victory for them. However, Liverpool did not look convincing when they met Real Madrid in the Champions League. It's been kind of a curse for Liverpool so far against Real Madrid, I mean Liverpool have struggled to win match, so I'm not going to worry about that.

We never can say never in that Real Madrid and Liverpool tie until it's over. Real Madrid is undoubtedly the biggest club in Europe but no body should write off this Liverpool side despite the shambolic performance in the first leg at Anfield. Big European nights aren't new to the Reds as matter of fact, they've overturned big margin deficits on many occasion and I don't think this tie again Madrid will be an exception irrespective of their quality as a club. We all saw what they did to Manchester United on Sunday and I think Liverpool will cause a huge offset if they score early at Santiago Bernabeu

It should be pretty easy game for Benfika. They are stronger team and have such a big chance to advance to next round.

Benfica, roughly speaking they are 80% they will qualify for the next round. for the ongoing match where the match entered the 30th minute no goals have occurred so far. it looks like the hosts are capable of playing better and have carried out some pretty good attacks.

two yellow cards for Lang and Yaremchuk in this first half I think it will be a bad game for brugge if they play rough in taking the ball from benfica players. Brugge was more ambitious to score early but they found it difficult to do so because benfica has quite a good defence.

[minime0105]

The Blues will really do their best in this match between them and Dormund to move to the next level of this campaign but the visiting team has more advantage in this game considering their exiting home the scored against Chelsea when Chelsea visited them previously, Chelsea at this stage of champions league is very dangerous because of their previous records.

[salad daging]

Yes , Dortmund is in advantage a bit, but 1-0 victory over Chelsea is not a secured victory in my opinion, and if Chelsea should first just get 1 goal it will worsen the situation for Dortmund and put the whole game into starting afresh. If Dortmund had scored up to 2 goals during their first leg, this could have a kind of sealed the game for them and it would have become difficult for Chelsea to turn around looking at their poor performance. However the match is still an open game for both teams and if Chelsea should put more effort in this game they will be able to qualify having them playing at home.

Of course Dortmund will be wary of this in the second leg, of course the strategy that Dortmund will carry out will be more accurate than the first leg in order to prevent opponents from playing openly in their defensive area.

about 10 minutes from now this game will start I really want to see dortmund advance to the next round even though it will require hard work in this second leg.

potter has very little experience to coach a big team especially in ucl all teams will show their best strength. this is something he must realize in this second leg to be able to break the negative assumptions that are directed at him.

Even though Dortmund had been wary of this game in the second leg, Dortmund appeared to dominate possession which was quite good, even recently the free kick from Reus surprised the Chelsea players but Kepa as the goalkeeper was able to brush it off well, in terms of attack I saw in this match Dortmund still continued attack than Chelsea as the host.

That's a lot of doubts and a few other speculations that Potter hasn't had a good experience in the Champions League. Of course, he will be a bit more difficult to deal with even though he has tried as much as possible, but this time Chelsea's attack was still not too aggressive.

[AverageGlabella]

25 minutes into the Chelsea vs Dortmund game and I think Dortmund look the more likely to score and I have impressed with the performance from Emre Can he is breaking up the play when Chelsea get the ball. Chelsea do not look motivated enough to win this game and I think Dortmund will eventually get another goal to make the exaggerate score 2-0. Chelsea have had chances early on in the game but I think they are going to burn out and they are passing side ways more now. As I was typing this out Chelsea nearly score with a save from the goalkeeper and then Havertz hits the post. Dortmund need to start managing the game a little more because that will give Chelsea confidence.

Chelsea lost there first leg with Dortmund in the Signal Iduna Park and with that, they understand what is at stake in this game, what they stand to lose if they don't manage to score and refuse to conceive in this game. Good enough they've got the home advantage and a good spirit from the last week win in the premier league. Though, they've not shown the quality like they could win this game, I think it's still possible for Chelsea to make it out.

Benfica on the other hand has advance there aggregate to a 4:0 for Club Bruges. Club Bruges is obviously out as, I don't see a way around this for them. Benfica isn't an easy team and with the advantage they've got over the game now, the game is done.

[AverageGlabella]

Havertz scored but Raheem Sterling was flagged offside. It was a very good goal and Dortmund need to settle down because Chelsea are starting to dominate the game and I think a lot of people were not expecting Chelsea to look this good they are looking like the Chelsea that won the Premier League a couple of years ago. They are playing one touch football and putting in aggressive tackles and I think Dortmund have been caught off guard and are struggling to settle in the game. I think Dortmund need to slow the game down and pass the ball more to stop Chelsea after so many chances. Chelsea nearly scored again as I type this reply and they have had 3 chances this game that they should have scored and 1 offside goal.

5 minutes left until the 2nd half and Dortmund just got yellow card for wasting time so they are trying to slow the game down. If Dortmund can make it to 2nd half at 0-0 I think they will play better in the 2nd half and Chelsea will be forced to make changes because of their game in the Premier League against Leicester City.

Benfica vs Club Brugge, 2-0 in half time. Indeed, Benfica is certain to qualify for the next round, because they are not only leading from the away team at this time they are also dominating this match. Yes Now the aggregate is 4-0 and Benfica really did not disappoint, meanwhile Club Brugge will go home with deep sadness, they failed to qualify for the next round. I also think this game is over, congrats to Benfica.

[AverageGlabella]

Dortmund do not make it to 2nd half without conceding. Raheem Sterling has made up for his error of being caught offside and getting the goal ruled out because he has scored for Chelsea. Dortmund starting playing better after they conceded I do not understand why it took going a goal down to react like this. We just had a chance to score but it was cleared by the Chelsea defender. 1-0 to Chelsea at half time and I hope Dortmund can pull it together because I was not expecting the performance from Chelsea but I think it is because Dortmund is having a very bad game and I think if we can play a little better in the 2nd half the Chelsea defense looks weak and we will get a goal.

[marbet85]

This match is a little haotic. Sule in 40min yellow card for grab time, it's not good but I hope in second half they score something.

[un_rank]

It is still early in the competition, yet Benfica are already showing to be the dark horses of this season's competition. They play very compactly, defending and attacking as a unit and seem to score for fun. They would be a potential banana peel for whoever draws them in th =e quarter final.

Chelsea have all to play for in the second half and so do Dortmund. You have the feeling that Graham Potter is fighting to keep his position at the club with a loss almost spelling the end of his stint at the Blues.

[Distraction]

Dortmund have been just trying to keep the score advantage to the end. They have had a big dominance in ball possession also.

However they still couldn't prevent Chelsea from having so many goal attempts. We have all must have known how problematic Chelsea have been with scoring goals for a long time. They had to try so many times before Sterling scored the goal. But finally they have reached their target which will make the matchup more interesting at the same time. As of now I don't expect Dortmund to stay passive. They should be increasing their productivity also. Otherwise this will just encourage Chelsea to finish the job in 90 minutes.

[GiftedMAN]

Good performance from the home team Chelsea they were so brilliant in the last 20 minutes before the half time and they got rewarded with a goal from Raheem Sterling in the 43 minutes to end the halftime.
Chelsea have been the better side in the first half and they need one more goal to move to the next round of the competition.


Benfica on the other hand have shown good quality as they get pass Club Brugge with 2 goals in the first half to stay ahead of them and increase their chances of qualifications to the next round.

I think this has been a long competition journey but Benfica got an equal opponent under Club Brugge, now it has shown indeed for Benfica as a dark horse that can overthrow opponents easily in this phase even in the first leg or in the second leg for Benfica this is not a heavy burden and now they have stepped up to keep securing tickets in the next.

Chelsea have all to play for in the second half and so do Dortmund. You have the feeling that Graham Potter is fighting to keep his position at the club with a loss almost spelling the end of his stint at the Blues.

Chelsea have secured one goal this is a bit of a relief for Chelsea and there is still hope in the second half can they score one more goal to ensure that this team will qualify for the next round they are still struggling enough and now we can see in the second half what happens later, will there be a counterattack from Dortmund or Chelsea will add even better attacks now that they are playing very evenly.

[minime0105]

With what is playing out this night in the champions league in the encounter between Chelsea and Dortmund, Chelsea is really performing beyond expectation and with the look of things Chelsea might defeat their visitors in this match because Chelsea has 3 shots on goal against their rival only 1 shot and Chelsea was able to convert 1 out of the 3 shots which is not bad for the blues, I see Chelsea coming out victoriously in this game.

Chelsea took the lead with the help of Rahem Sterling 1-0 for the first half. with a temporary aggregate of 1-1 and we will soon witness the second half which will begin soon. Chelsea can use the second half to double their lead and this should be their main focus. The game in the first half looked quite interesting where Chelsea were able to make 11 shots. This is a pretty good performance by Chelsea in the Champions League.

they have to win this game. I think the unity in achieving victory will be carried out with all their might in the second half. Hopefully potter can make the right substitutions to adjust the scheme in pursuit of victory. I hope no extratime happens. The second half will be quite crucial for both teams.

The London boys are in a good performance tonight not as many fans had expected owing to their serial defeats lately ,but fortunately the game tonight is rather going their favour which am sure they will definitely assimilate the three points tonight unlike other days.
