UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[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.

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.

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.

Since the 30th minute, its been a spectacular beautiful game. Powerplay by Chelsea and good chances. The goal by Sterling in minute 44 with luck in the second shot. And now shortly after half-time the penalty. Shot missed by Kai Havertz and then again... crazy. Second shot and then he scores, he fight for that, good game from him. Or the whole game is nice to see.

Chelsea seems like learning much after their first defeat against Dortmund in the first leg. Now, their performance is getting much better and better in every line. It proves the progress and Chelsea now is leading with a score 2 - 0 against Dortmund until the 58 minutes. These leading scores make Chelsea is also leading in the aggregate. But we still cannot guarantee or predict whether Chelsea will exactly win the match or not, or whether there will be acounterattackk from Dortmund or not because there are still many times remaining. Aside from the result, we can see there is good progress by Chelsea so far during this match and they are also dominating the match very well.

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.

Now, Chelsea already leads with 2 goals, the aggregate 2-1 for Chelsea.  
I am surprised that Chelsea played well so far, they seem to be more motivated to qualify for the next stage in UCL. They dominate the match and they become very offensive. If they can keep this good game, no doubt Chelsea to play in the next round. They are playing at home now, they have a bigger chance to qualify.

By the way, Chelsea already made 12 shot attempts, 4 shots on target. While Dortmund only made 5 shot attempts, only 1 shot on target. It is very clear that Chelsea is more superior in this match.

[EFS]

Benfica is just too good for Club Brugge. I guess Belgians should be happy to play in this round but quarter final was only a dream. I was away from TV for 15 minutes and Ramos scored two more goals. At this point Brugge need to defend and finish the game without conceding any more goals.

[nara1892]

Soon we will witness proof for Chelsea against Dortmund because this is indeed one of the matches that I am quite waiting for, especially with the current conditions Dortmund and Chelsea still have a chance even though Dortmund's aggregate is still superior.
Playing at Stampord Bridge even though it's not too scary at the moment for some clubs but it will still benefit Chelsea should be.

As for Benfica's match against Brugge, I don't expect too much from Brugge because the chances are small, although to qualify for this phase they deserve appreciation.

Potter must be able to prove that he and his team can get through this phase because their chances are still quite wide open especially playing at home, and with yesterday's victory in the English league I hope they will continue the winning trend in the champions league as well to prove they can qualify for next round.

Actually I'm quite sure how Chelsea can respond to the match in the second leg, they will be fully optimistic in this important competition, therefore Potter as a tactician must be able to play a role against Chelsea players.

So far the match has been quite exciting and Chelsea have managed to reverse the aggregate after 2 goals have now nested against Dortmund.
VAR and of course the penalty that was repeated became one of the moments of reversal for Chelsea now. The conditions turned slightly and Dortmund had to try again to equalize on aggregate because this was clearly a crucial condition.
There's still enough time for them because seeing from their current condition they are starting to try to make more and more possession of the ball and attack more but they also shouldn't be complacent because a quick counterattack can dash the hopes of those who want to find a balancer on aggregate.

Benfica has indeed met our expectations. Everyone here agrees that Benfica will indeed win easily for the second leg. Because even in the first leg Benfica has done well.

and Chelsea also seems to have got the fans excited again. because at this time Chelsea had also managed to make a 2-0 advantage. And Dortmund seems to have a little trouble in this fight. but Dortmund continued to try to make attacks to equalize. but Chelsea certainly will not allow that. and precisely the 3rd goal could have happened.

Chelsea is leading 2-0,what an interesting second half compared to the first half. Dortmund are gaining possession and struggling to score one goal to make the goal aggregate 2-2 but they haven't broken the deadlock yet. I think if Chelsea is not careful this match might end up in PK. It is  an interesting match because the pressure from Dortmund is getting too much on Chelsea as they are losing their opportunities. It is not yet over and I just hope that Chelsea keep the game on this level or else they might miss their chance of qualifying to the quarter finals.

[Hallroom]

Benfica scored a total of five goals. Brugge have so far failed to defend and attack. Benfica Ramos scored two goals and with this pair of goals he proved that he has a chance to complete the hat-trick. There is still a little time left for the match to end. The last goal of the match came in the 77th minute. In the 87th minute, Brugge made a call to Meijer. Now they should defend the attacks.

Benfica has indeed met our expectations. Everyone here agrees that Benfica will indeed win easily for the second leg. Because even in the first leg Benfica has done well.

To be honest, without the need for further predictions, this is certain, but indeed they are playing at home, which is scarier than the 2nd leg.
The score is now 5-1 (7-1 on aggregate) and this is a score that is no joke because Benfica really doesn't give Club Brugge the slightest hope.
They are the first club to set foot in the top 4 at the moment.

Benfica's performance this night is excellent to be honest and I think they will go all the way to get to the final if they continue with this kind of performance. I think Club Brugge was not prepared for this game because their performance has been very poor since the beginning of the game till the second half and they have been defending poorly that's why Ramos is very lucky to get two great goals within the 15 minutes. It's all over for Club Brugge they can continue next season .

[lalabotax]

Benfica's performance this night is excellent to be honest and I think they will go all the way to get to the final if they continue with this kind of performance.

Benfica was truly extraordinary in being able to conquer Club Brugge with quite a lot of scores. They seem to easily advance to the next round and this is interesting. The 5-1 victory in the second leg match provided a very large aggregate difference for the two.

Chelsea is leading 2-0,what an interesting second half compared to the first half. Dortmund are gaining possession and struggling to score one goal to make the goal aggregate 2-2 but they haven't broken the deadlock yet.

Chelsea has a higher chance in this match. They have been superior during this match and they make bg pressure to Dortmund. Until now the position is still 2-0 which makes Chelsea lead both on aggregate and also this match result. If the condition is still the same like this, the chance for Chelsea to win this match is much higher because they are able to control the game and be more dominant. But, it is still unpredictable because sometimes, we don't know if Dortmund is able to give a hard counter-attack or not. Although Chelsea has been leading, they must be still careful because the aggregate is still small.

Club Brugger has just scored one goal to console themselves but I see it that they are not fit enough to play Benefica who has five goals, two in the first half and three in the second half. Benefica is a good team and might be able to reach the semifinals or finals.

The match has come to an end with 5-1 defeat on Brugger. This is the first time that Brugger has qualified to the round of 16,they even won some big team in their group to qualify to this stage. Benefica has proven themselves that they will be able to win their quarter final match.

Chelsea is winning their match and Dortmund is playing tirelessly to score a goal but they couldn't convert their opportunities to a goal.

Now, Chelsea already leads with 2 goals, the aggregate 2-1 for Chelsea.  
I am surprised that Chelsea played well so far, they seem to be more motivated to qualify for the next stage in UCL. They dominate the match and they become very offensive. If they can keep this good game, no doubt Chelsea to play in the next round. They are playing at home now, they have a bigger chance to qualify.

By the way, Chelsea already made 12 shot attempts, 4 shots on target. While Dortmund only made 5 shot attempts, only 1 shot on target. It is very clear that Chelsea is more superior in this match.

Despite playing so well, They haven't yet killed off the game. 1 Goal from Borussia Dortmund and they are off to Extra time and possible penalties. I guess Graham Potter will stay a little longer after tonight's performance, but we all know he is not completely secure in the long run
