UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Leviathan.007]

From the start, Chelsea really wasn't favored in this match, Chelsea this season is in pretty bad performance with all the problems that this team is currently facing and they have just changed coaches.
of course against a team like Real Madrid it will be very difficult for them, this defeat is very reasonable in my opinion and Real Madrid is now almost certain to qualify for the semifinals.

Right, we all know that. so, it is only natural that Madrid can win easily when they host the match against Chelsea. actually, Chelsea had a good chance in the early minutes, unfortunately they were not able to use it properly. well, now we have seen that what Lampard did, did not have a positive impact. in fact, I would prefer to say that Chelsea were better under Bruno Saltor. it's just that their problem lies with the front-line players. as we know, that Chelsea's forward players are not able to give their best game. in particular, Kai Havertz. well, what can you say, that Chelsea are now under the tutelage of Frank Lampard. The question is, can they turn things around when playing at home. it seems, highly doubtful.

I am actually interested in the AC Milan vs Napoli match, which is quite an interesting match I think and the two teams have almost the same quality.
and losing 1 goal for Napoli is not a difficult thing to be able to turn things around in the second leg later.

For this fight, according to my predictions and expectations. that AC Milan, won the match over Napoli. because, from my point of view, Napoli is too dependent on one star. yes, without Osimhen, they struggle to score goals. in the second leg later, Napoli has the potential to turn things around. it's just that if Osimhen is still injured it will be a loss for them.

I don't think we can have any exact information about the situation of Victor Osimhen in Napoli for the next game they are going to face AC Milan, I thought he can be ready for the second leg because he even had the chance to play for the first leg against AC Milan but if Osimhen does not play for his team another time against Ac Milan I can say Ac Milan was really lucky because they are playing against Napoli while they don't have their most effective player.

Real Madrid managed to win the match with a score of 2-0 and that was enough for them to look into the second leg later and now the possibility for Real Madrid to step into the semifinals of the Champions League this season is quite large.
after seeing the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match in the first leg I think it is very possible for Real Madrid to be able to win again in the second leg, there really is a very significant difference in team quality between these two teams, apart from the winning results Real Madrid were only able to win 2 goals, but I think Chelsea don't have the proper quality to be able to match Real Madrid's game.

Chelsea's appearance in that match was really disappointing, Lampard had so much trouble dealing with Ancelotti's strategy and Chelsea also had weaknesses in attack, where several opportunities that should have been goals were wasted. The red card received by Ben Chilwell also had an influence on the stability of the match, where Chelsea players found it increasingly difficult to keep up with Real Madrid.

I also highlighted Real Madrid's performance in that match, where Ancelotti's men did not play as usual. If you pay attention, Real Madrid should have won more than 2-0 with Chelsea's not-so-good performance. Chelsea's chances will now be much more difficult when playing the second leg even though they are playing at home.

I was pretty irritated reading the comments of the head coach of Napoli, how can he say they're a better side without Victor Oshime?! Oshime has been the best of the best this season for Napoli, definitely he's absence has already been felteand witnessed.
Ac Milan has got work to do at the Diego Maradona Stadium next week, when they had th chance they should have made it two to three goals at home.

I don't even think Frank Lampard is in charge of that selection yesterday, it's Todd Boehly doing all that underground. Abrahimovich selling Chelsea has got to be one of the wrongs that need be righted.

Are you a Napoli fan, my friend? You seem to be quite emotional. I'm curious because, in the last five matches between Napoli and Milan, Milan has won three, even with Osimhen playing in those matches. While Osimhen may be a strong player and currently leading the Serie A, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Manager's statement was incorrect, every team should strive for independence and not rely too heavily on any one player, when the dependent team loses that player, it can become a probelm and even with Osimhen present, Napoli could still have lost yesterday because Milan is an experienced team.

Basically, this result was quite surprising, even one week before the quarter-final match, the two Milan and Napoli teams already had a trial match in the League and the result is that Milan came out winner. And yesterday Milan win again from Napoli, even though it was only a narrow win but this will be even more exciting because the 2nd match will take place at home to Napoli
I still can't believe that Napoli lost to Milan in this important match, but that's a reality that must be accepted

But still Chelsea can't improve their game that doesn't change at all, so I think Chelsea will still be eliminated later because I doubt how Chelsea's game is still not impressive in any match.

They've certainly had a difficult time since Tuchel's sacking and with Potter not bringing any better and also with Lampard I've had to say this is a little skeptical on my part so Chelsea just need a change of management.

A lot of things have changed at Chelsea since Todd Boehly acquired Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea is a strong team that has made many achievements, but they will not be as great as before if they are not wise in management. Of course I agree that a good coach is the most important thing to support a good team performance, but with Graham Potter and Lampard Chelsea will not be fine.

Luis Enrique and Julian Nagelsmann should be one of the good candidates for a long term Chelsea coach, but I would probably agree if Chelsea were coached by Luis Enrique. But let's see who will be the next Chelsea coach, both great and prestigious.

About the second leg later, I don't know what will happen even though playing on their own sometimes doesn't imply they will win, even if you say a draw is good enough, I myself still can't say it's good.

Chelsea's chances of qualifying for the semi-finals are very slim, but the decision must be made within 90 minutes. Lampard is still struggling to find solutions in striker of Chelsea in his last 2 matches, but I think he will make some changes up striker in the second leg.

[Pokapoka124]

I expected Real Madrid to beat Chelsea even before the game because Chelsea have not been in good form before the game and it is no shocking display for Real Madrid judging from how well they have been performing in the Champions league in the past years, Chelsea were indeed lucky to have conceded just two goals in the match.

[Marykeller]

Now what to say about Chelsea? because of the fact that they really can't be relied on as a team this season. I'm not surprised by this result, because from the start Chelsea was not favored and it was only hope for them to make a surprise in the match. An aggregate of 2 goals is difficult for them in the second leg later. But like what they did with Borussia Dortmund, so I still give them a bit of hope.

Chelsea's 2 goals loss to Real Madrid will now make Chelsea seat up in the premier league since they have felt hesitant to win matches in the premier league and have only been hoping to perform better in championship league matches by reaching the quarterfinals. Now they don't have a lot of hope in their champions league encounter against Real Madrid because they can't effectively score two goals against Real Madrid in the return leg without Real Madrid also scoring a goal at least before the game is through.

Before you start giving Chelsea hope. Don't forget that Real Madrid is not Borussia Dortmund.  They can't do the same mistake they did to lose to Chelsea

[slapper]

Well this finally really happened because indeed bringing Napoli without Osimhen seems to be very difficult now.
On the other hand for the second half they also have to lose Anguissa in midfield which is clearly going to be another burden for them.

Without Osimhen, Napoli lost half of their attacking power and Kravatskhelia lost his most favorite team-mate. Napoli tried to find an equalizer but Maignan again saved AC Milan and they again won over Napoli just within a few days.

With this win at home and a big win at Naples days ago in Serie A, AC Milan will move to Naples for a second leg with very strong confidence that they will have a first semi final in Champions League after about one decade. Napoli in their side, must pray themselves that Osimhen will be ready for that match. As they will need their best striker to find a win at home and keep up their hope to be one of four clubs in semi finals.

There is nothing wrong with Napoli's game because they do it as usual, it's just that the difference in this match is that they still need a finisher who is hungry for goals and when Osimhen is not in the squad, they lose a frightening finisher in attack who makes their attacks and opportunities wasted.

Maignan brought AC Milan to a win with his excellent saves and he will be one of biggest hopes of AC Milan at Naples.

Napoli's gotta put in some serious grind if they wanna strut into the semis. No doubt, Milan's defense is a tough nut to crack, but I'm vibin' with Napoli's power to rally. They gotta keep their eyes on the prize and not stress too much about Milan.

Hold up, though, let's flip the script and get critical for a sec. Is it really just about missing Osimhen, or are we dealing with some deeper drama? And how can Napoli level up to squash these probs and elevate their play? These are the kinda mind-benders we oughta tackle if we're lookin' to cheer our squads to the top.

Napoli was very favored at first. but when the news came that Osimhen had not recovered from his injury and could not play in the first leg of the quarter-finals yesterday, I felt that Napoli's defeat was not too surprising. because well, even in Serie A, Napoli lost to Milan when Napoli played without Osimhen. I hope that in the second leg Osimhen has recovered and can play for Napoli.

but I was more surprised by the results of Benfica vs Inter Milan. Benfica has been clearly favored for a long time. but it seems that Inter Milan was able to win quite convincingly in the first leg.

[Furious 7]

Chelsea is currently in the relegation zone due to the impact of Potter's leadership which was too bad in the past, causing many once a problem that must be resolved by Lampard.

Chelsea are still in the middle of the table at the moment, Potter does have bad leadership. but that didn't take Chelsea very far down the table. Lampard does have a pretty tough job, but Chelsea still has a chance to finish in a better position in the Premier League. while in the Champions League, Chelsea are unfortunate to meet Madrid in the quarter-finals. because that's clearly a difficult opponent for Chelsea to face in the club's current situation. Lampard should just focus on the remaining matches in the Premier League this season.

It would be better if something like that happened, especially by looking at their condition in the last few matches for the EPL it would still be a little tough because there are still some big opponents to face.
On the other hand, the Champions League is actually focused or not with an aggregate of 2 goals at the moment and with Chelsea's current condition it is clear that this will be very difficult considering they are also still very bad for their attack line even if we see them from the last few matches that have been carried out even in 4 matches (EPL and Champions League yesterday) They haven't scored a goal since the draw against Everton in mid-March.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

But still Chelsea can't improve their game that doesn't change at all, so I think Chelsea will still be eliminated later because I doubt how Chelsea's game is still not impressive in any match.
They've certainly had a difficult time since Tuchel's sacking and with Potter not bringing any better and also with Lampard I've had to say this is a little skeptical on my part so Chelsea just need a change of management.

We have to stop talking about Thomas Tuchel, he's now history or isn't he the same Thomas Tuchel that's bottling his job at Bayern Munich. Tuchel success at Chelsea didn't have everything to do with his coaching skills instead the players were determined to win and they won games. If Thomas Tuchel was that good as we're all saying, why hasn't he replicated same wins with Bayern Munich or won the champion league with other top clubs that he has managed. Let take Real Madrid as an example, it doesn't matter which coach is present but they'll always do well in the champions league because it's a culture on the club.

As for the game against Real Madrid, it was a disappointing loss and I'm still surprised we could play that badly against Real Madrid and I put all the blame on Frank Lampard. His selections were all wrong, we could have sealed the fate of that game in the first few minutes of the game as we were having chances after chances but didn't have anyone that could score in the team. The team lacked a striker and Chelsea need to resolved this crises by signing someone that'll be winning to play even though we don't get champions league football next season. I think if Kai Havertz would had started that game, we would had gotten something from that game. I haven't lost hope though, 2:0 isn't that hard of a result to comeback from to progress.

[Leviathan.007]

Real Madrid's win was very sad as the game became very normal due to the red card of the Chelsea player. And despite having the chance to draw the game, Chelsea went one goal short and Real Madrid went ahead. As a result, if the goal difference is 2-0, Chelsea is bound to lose.
Chelsea in particular had very few attacks and Real Madrid had the ball for most of the match. And as a home ground, Real Madrid's win is a must.

The Chelsea team has been really poor this season, they need a very good coach. they was no way that Chelsea where going to win that game. Real Madrid are the king of champions League, no matter how poor they are in the Laliga, ones it comes to the champions league, they play as if they are in the best form of there life, Real Madrid are the better side, they are in second position in the Spanish Laliga even if they have not been really good this season, while Chelsea on the other hand have been very poor this season, they are not even sure yet of qualifying for any European competitions next season.

Now what to say about Chelsea? because of the fact that they really can't be relied on as a team this season. I'm not surprised by this result, because from the start Chelsea was not favored and it was only hope for them to make a surprise in the match. An aggregate of 2 goals is difficult for them in the second leg later. But like what they did with Borussia Dortmund, so I still give them a bit of hope.

They are not in a good situation this season in Chelsea which is a good reason to say Real Madrid can easily win this game against Chelsea but just a few weeks ago when Chelsea was performing badly in the premier league they beat Drttmound while I was thinking Dround can easily win that game against Chelsea, but this time Real Madrid scored two goals in the first leg which can help them a lot pass this stage.

[BRINIRHA]

Real Madrid will certainly play more comfortably in the second leg later. And vice versa Chelsea will have a more difficult match in the second leg. because Chelsea had to catch up with 2 goals in the first leg. and I think we could have said earlier that Real Madrid were one step ahead to qualify for the semi-finals. because even a draw in the second leg also led Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals. I don't see any surprises in the second leg later. but Chelsea's performance in the first leg yesterday was also not too bad. joao felix and the Chelsea forward did quite well. but yeah, Chelsea struggled to get out of the pressure that Real Madrid continued to build throughout the match.

[flipme]

Even though Chelsea lost, but I can still appreciate Chelsea because Chelsea managed to only lose by 2-0, even though Chelsea also played with only 10 players from the 59th minute. So yes, even though Chelsea lost, but I can't say that it was a bad result too, because considering the situation and conditions experienced by Chelsea at this moment too.

So, it would be pretty good if Chelsea didn't concede more goals but yes, after all Chelsea have no chance of beating Real Madrid in this moment. So, when Chelsea can keep Real Madrid from not scoring too many goals, then I think that's enough for Chelsea.

Chelsea are far from their legendary years. They're having a really bad season in the league. On the other hand, Real Madrid are also having a bad season in the league, but no matter how bad they are, they take on a completely different identity when they play in the champions league game. That's why I always respect them in this trophy. Also, it was good to see Kante back on the field in this match. He was one of Chelsea's best players. In this match, he both shouldered the defense burden of the team and became a key player in the team's attacks

[herurist]

Well, regardless of what the conditions of Chelsea and Madrid will not change now because you can see from Chelsea's current condition they are like leaving this competition even though the second leg has not been played yet.
They still have a lot of gaps on every front. even though the midfield and wings are still quite good but their finishing is also bad. Now I think the aggregate advantage of 2 goals will actually increase for the second leg later even though they will be playing at Stampord Bridge.

[judas]

I think it is over for Bayern Munich in this tournament this season. They should have performed better against Manchester City in the second half. They were really weak at defending and Manchester City were one of the best teams to benefit from this golden opportunity. Manchester City have the most effective attacking line among the teams left here now. Haaland did his trick again and literally carried the team to a 3-0 victory.

His contribution with a goal and an assist both was really worth watching for me. He has already been a goal machine since the beginning of the season. Bayern Munich must have been aware of this danger already but they still couldn't prevent this. Actually Haaland wasn't effective in the first half but they couldn't stop him in the other one. Even if Manchester City don't win in Allianz Arena they should still be advancing comfortably with the help of this score advantage.

[Falconer]

They are not in a good situation this season in Chelsea which is a good reason to say Real Madrid can easily win this game against Chelsea but just a few weeks ago when Chelsea was performing badly in the premier league they beat Drttmound while I was thinking Dround can easily win that game against Chelsea, but this time Real Madrid scored two goals in the first leg which can help them a lot pass this stage.

The advantage of 2 goals will certainly help Real Madrid secure a ticket to the semifinals this season. I sure hope Real Madrid can also win the second leg at Stamford Bridge, too good to hope given Chelsea's not-so-good form. We really made it difficult for Chelsea to find a goal in the first leg, and I'm sure we can do that once again in the second leg as well.

I'm starting to expect Manchester City to be a worthy opponent for the semi-final against Real Madrid. Manchester City is certainly very likely to secure a semi-final ticket too after winning 3 goals against Bayern, so I hope it's really a great match.

bayern have a mountain to climb having lost to city in the champion league, they were right in the tie until the 70th minute and now needs least 3goals

Munich does not have the cards to do so. even if they killed Haaland, it wouldn't be enough. Man City is one of the most fertile teams in Europe. they have a very dangerous front line. while Munich has not been so stable in their game this season. even though they struggled to adapt at the start of the season. and it bothers the squad to win.
we can't say Bayern missed the chance. even though it is difficult, even with a small possibility Bayern still has a chance and a miracle. even if it is to force Man City to extra time.

[Wiwo]

If I should speculate the result of the second leg between Real Madrid and Chelsea I will say it will be more exciting and the goals will be multiple compared to their last match yesterday where Real Madrid managed to win against Chelsea with just one goal to none.

But the second leg of their meeting will be a completion of what real Madrid already started in the first leg and since we know how weak and crisis-ridden Chelsea has been for a while now with the multiple changes of coach it is evident that Chelsea lacks the motivation to match up to Real Madrid pressure.

[Coyster]

bayern have a mountain to climb having lost to city in the champion league, they were right in the tie until the 70th minute and now needs least 3goals

Yeah, they need 3 goals, not even to win the game, but to level the scoreline and prolly take the game to extra time, City have to completely go to sleep for that to happen, and that's not something that happens quite often. City are known for scoring quite a lot of goals, and it is difficult to outscore them, even more by a large margin. The odds are completely in City's favor, if Bayern come into that game all flying forward looking for goals, it leaves gaps in their defense, and City are good at exploiting such, if Bayern are patient to wait for their time, City would be content with that as they already have a huge lead, i cannot see a way back for Bayern Munich.
