UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[aylabadia05]

Surely many will favor Real Madrid in this match. Because everyone also realizes that Chelsea is really getting worse at the moment. Even Lampard has not been able to get good enough results for Chelsea after he became coach at Chelsea until the end of the season. But I don't think Chelsea will let this game go easy for Real Madrid. Chelsea, as the host, also did not want to disappoint their supporters again. so Chelsea's motivation in this match should really be very high.

I also favored Real Madrid to qualify for the semifinals, but in the second leg at Stamford Bridge I was more certain that it would be a draw.
I expect high spirits will occur to convince the Stamford Bridge public that Chelsea always try to give their best.
Chelsea is not in the best shape realized by Carlo Ancelotti, but Ancelotti will also aim for goals in London from the early minutes to avoid Chelsea scoring 2 goals.

What if Chelsea will manage to qualify tonight ? How many of us can predict a Chelsea victory ?  Personally , I do see some chances for Chelsea just because they do have a great team that have the necessary potential to beat all the teams if I can say that but the rest is really up to them because Lampard didn't have much time to prepare this game but I'm sure he had a lot of time to motivate them and explain to them what UCL really means for Chelsea club.

Real ...what can we say about them ? They are hungry for another UCL trophy and they will fight for it without any doubts.

That's true, but we also can't rule out some of the shortcomings that occur in the depths of Chelsea. Even with a fairly ideal squad, when Lampard's quality was insufficient, in the end the players couldn't go any further. The success of a club is not built in a short time and that is true for Lampard. Leading at Chelsea for about 1 week and according to calculations the process of building the ideal squad by developing the potential of its players is not enough for now. We see that Chelsea is 2 points behind and their task in Leg 2 is to automatically target those 3 points even though Madrid doesn't score. Therefore the possibility of Chelsea winning is very minimal.

Frank Lampard might be a good player for Chelsea in the past, but I do not think he is ready to lead Chelsea as a manager yet. Chelsea has kept on losing games recently despite Frank Lampard putting in his best effort to try and improve the team result, I guess Real Madrid might be too strong for Chelsea to overcome and we might see Chelsea losing another game today.

Each time I make predictions I like acknowledging the unpredictability of the game of football because it is filled with surprises. Frank Lampard was sacked by Everton became of his underperformance, hence I don't expect him to perform a miracle in a more complicated club like Chelsea. Since his appointment, nothing has changed and today might not be an exception. The current Real Madrid team has the prospect of winning any team in the champions league and triumphing over a struggling team like Chelsea will not be a big deal. If Chelsea allows Real to score first in that game, then they might not recover. What the Blues need now is determination, teamwork, and ruthless diligence.

I agree, I mean if you are not good enough for Everton then I am sorry but you are not good enough for Chelsea neither, that much should have been obvious for everyone. However, I think Chelsea realized that this season will not be good anyway and they will focus on the next season, which means he is just the interim manager at the moment and they will look for someone else.

I imagined Nagelsmann as well just like everyone else, but since they spent so much money on the players, I guess they have a bigger deal in their mind as well. If they could get someone with a huge name and put him in charge, that's going to be something amazing without a doubt, we are going to end up seeing something that will make so much difference for them, with a proper manager they can be so much better.

[puloweh555]

Someone can be successful as a player, but that does not guarantee that he will also be successful as a coach. Frank Lampard has no doubt that he was a reliable player in the past, but to become a coach, in my opinion, now is not the time. He must first learn a lot to be able to repeat the same success when he became a player on the field. He still needs a process to achieve that.

I also think the same as you, I can't expect more that Chelsea can comeback in leg 2 against Real Madrdi, maybe it's even a miracle to see Chelsea win again even until the end of the competition in the EPL (if still coached by Frank Lampard) I can only I hope Chelsea doesn't get relegated.

Manchester City has a good chance of making the semi-finals due to the goals they scored in the first leg of their match against Bayern Munich at Etihad Stadium, so they will not be under too much pressure when they travel to Munich for the second leg.

Now let's be realistic. In my opinion the best team this year is Man City and this is undeniable. Even though there is a term football is not mathematics but I believe this year is theirs. Especially in leg 2. It is rather impossible for Bayern Munich to score 4 more goals against Man City to advance to the semifinals unless Man City experiences non-technical matters.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I expect Real to do what’s required tonight to advance to the semi final. The other tie is where it gets interesting though, Milan lead 1-0 on aggregate but Napoli at home are something else. I have a real feeling that they will turn the tie on its head and get to the semi final. Victor Osimhen will have a big say I think, he’s ready to explode on the biggest stage as an elite, world class striker.

Real Madrid are having good advantage over Chelsea at the moment. Their qualifying for the semi-finals is already very visible. The concern now should be if Chelsea can avoid conceding more goals at home today. It is really sad the blues had to end the season trophyless. Milan on the other hand have been lucky in their last two meetings with Napoli both in the Champions League and Domestic League. I don't know if Victor Oshimen is back to the team to improve Napoli's attack. If he is still absent Milan might have advantage over Napoli

Chelsea beating Real Madrid today is very possible based of past records but hugely not possible with this current squad, the coach and management. I hate to say but at the moment, it's impossible for Chelsea to eliminate Real Madrid. Chelsea may win today but they won't qualify. Real Madrid is just too good for Chelsea. Chelsea is facing Real Madrid at the wrong time and I don’t see any miracle happening tonight but Real Madrid will still score.

I also favored Real Madrid to qualify for the semifinals, but in the second leg at Stamford Bridge I was more certain that it would be a draw.

Chelsea is not in the best shape realized by Carlo Ancelotti, but Ancelotti will also aim for goals in London from the early minutes to avoid Chelsea scoring 2 goals.

Real Madrid are in a better shape than Chelsea and if Chelsea fail to control Modric, Vinicius and Benzema, they will fail in a second match. It sounds impossible for the to control those players as they already failed in a first match.

More than that, Real Madrid also have Rodrygo who is another Vinicius and Kroos can make good key passes too. The return of Kante could not help Chelsea to control Modric in a first match and they will get more issues in a second leg. Real Madrid won't easily lose big advantage with two leading goals even at Stamford Bridge. In general, Chelsea players are not at their best personal forms as well as their whole team are in bad streak too.

But I don't think Chelsea will let this game go easy for Real Madrid. Chelsea, as the host, also did not want to disappoint their supporters again. so Chelsea's motivation in this match should really be very high.

Well, however Real Madrid must remain vigilant with all possibilities. Because this match is Chelsea's last match in the Champions League, that way they will do anything even if they have to play quite hard. Nothing is impossible, although I remain optimistic and on the path of Real Madrid. Especially after having 2 points in Leg 1 of course for Madrid, this match will continue to play as usual to optimize the goals as best as possible.

You are entirely right, just because someone was a successful player it doesn't mean he is also a successful coach however there are many coaches who were successful players before and Zidane is one good example of it. But Lampard is not really a successful coach and he didn't reach any achievements yet.
Regardless of that, I think no matter if Lampard is coaching Chslea or another person because Chslea is not in a situation to bear Real Madrid.

Lampard arrival in such a short time to target the Champions League is clearly very difficult. He is required to manage a team that has to be ready against a stable club like Real Madrid, so the results will be quite bad. It is evident that Lampard is still trying various strategies, while Madrid already has a plan that is quite far from Ancelotti.

Chelsea will be playing against Real Madrid today, I believe it will be a easy win for Real Madrid, am expecting real Madrid to score like two goals in today's match.

Then you should have no problem putting your money on them then. I think the bookmakers are doing you a great favor with line at 2.50 for Real Madrid to win.

Chelsea will probably try to up the tempo from the kickoff to catch RM's defense by surprise but Carlo already know this for sure. This game looks kinda tricky to me and I still cannot decide where to bet. I'm thinking of a draw or under 2.5.

Chelsea have kept on losing games recently despite Frank Lampard putting in his best effort to try and improve the team result, I guess Real Madrid might be too strong for Chelsea to overcome and we might see Chelsea losing another game today.

Chelsea stands no chance of escape tonight from the angels as they have shown no performance to that effect in their previous game in the EPL. Lampard doesn't have yet what it takes to manage a team like Chelsea as his ranks as a coach is below standard. The situation of Chelsea demands a veteran coach with great experiences around Europe and that's lacking in lampard's profile. All they can do tonight is to try as much as possible not to conceive much goals but as for getting a win over Madrid due to home influence is just not feasible for the Chelsea of today.

[safari88]

Chelsea will really have to pull out all the stops to beat Madrid tonight. Last meeting, Madrid won 1-3 in London, but the same final score was also on the board in Madrid in favor of Chelsea. This could well be a game with a considerable number of goals, in any case it seems to me an open game in which Real Madrid will certainly not play defensively. They will play exactly the same as they normally do. They can also only play one way, extremely sharp counter football and they are very good at that. But in the other match between napoli and Milan, there are also plenty of chances for both teams. So we get 2 clashes today.

Real ...what can we say about them ? They are hungry for another UCL trophy and they will fight for it without any doubts.

I do not see any chances of Chelsea qualifying to the next round of the Champions League. Even if Chelsea has to play the Champions League with any club in England, nobody is even sure that Chelsea can win even if it is against Crystal Palace.
So if we are not sure that Chelsea can pull fight against Crystal Palace, why then are we then giving ourselves hope that Chelsea can beat Madrid in the Champions League?
Chelsea can beat Madrid in Laliga or ither leagues but it is not in the Champions League. I don't know the strategy that Frank Lampard is going to use, but I surely know that Chelsea will not progress to the next level. They will not even have a goal this night.

Given the performances I've seen from Chelsea players in the last few matches, I don't think Chelsea will be able to take any home advantage against Real Madrid. The Madrid team is very strong and organized. In the first leg match against Chelsea, we only saw Real Madrid's dominance. Chelsea's performance was very poor. Madrid won this match by 2-0 margin. And the important thing is that Chelsea managed only 7 shots in this match. Chelsea will not be able to break down Madrid's defense if this poor attacking performance continues. I decided to bet Madrid to win the second leg.

[HajiBagi]

Napoli are very ready to display what they have not displayed before since the beginning of this tournament, because their coach is not happy about what happened in their first leg that made AC Milan to defeated them 1-0. Now that Victor Osimhen and some potential strikers are starting the match, showed that Napoli will defeat AC Milan 3-1 because they will definitely use home advantage to silent the strength of AC Milan, because their coach has introduced some new skills that will help them to achieve goals that will give them victory at the end of the match. Real Madrid will still defeat Chelsea in this second leg,  because Chelsea performance in their first leg showed that Chelsea are lacking so many skills in this season.

The game between Napoli and AC Milan will be challenging because both teams are capable of playing well. However, I believe Napoli will take today's match more seriously than AC Milan because they are upset about losing 1-0 in their first leg. However, I also believe that Napoli's sticker Osimhen is to blame for their failure to advance because he was not in the right frame of mind to play that day. Now that he has recovered, I believe AC Milan should exercise caution because Napoli can rebound.
Ac Milan has strong players who can prevent Napoli from scoring goals, but it will be very difficult to do so because Napoli is about to recolize just 1 goal and, in my opinion, they may be able to score more if they have a chance.

[ajanwalker]

The most critical match in the Champions League return matches to be played today will be played between Napoli and Milan. Milan won the first match 1-0. In the last league match played between them, Milan defeated Napoli 0-2 away. There has been a lack of form in Napoli in recent weeks. In the other match, Real Madrid will again beat Chelsea on the road. He can even win with 3-4 goals. Because Chelsea's defensive and offensive line is not good.

The chance is still there but it's very small. It may be less than 2% maybe. The worst performance of chelsea became the main factor why chelsea will not able to be qualified for the semi final against real madrid. Real madrid was coming to the stamford bridge. I wonder what kind of strategy that will be used by lampard. Lampard is always coming with different formation in any matches. I have seen how lampard is very often changing the composition from the club.
It will be so good to see some players like reece and kante played in their right positions. I knew that chelsea had no chance in this match.

Bookies were favoring real madrid at this moment. It would be so good to pick real madrid. Real madrid may see chelsea is very different compared with the last season where real madrid was almost getting comeback by chelsea.
It's likely that if havertz will be used against real madrid. I do like when havertz was playing at right and timo werner as striker. I remember this formation was making feel so difficult to win against chelsea.
Chelsea may able use the same strategy again.

Though I agreed that Chelsea chances of winning in Bernabau is very slim, however I think Lampard will play an attacking formation after all the team has a 2-0 deficit to overturn scoring a goal in the first half could turn things around for the club, personally I think Real Madrid are not in the best form now because in the first leg at Stanford bridge despite Chelsea playing with 10 men after Chidwell was sent off the team kept the scoreline at 2-0 till the end of the match, I am expecting a different ball game today because Chelsea hope of playing European competition lies on today's match if they can turn thinds around the better, it's indeed going to be a tough match and we shouldn't underrate Lampard.

Napoli is becoming a team that can't perform well without Osimhen, Ac Milan has won the m in their two straight matches without Osimhen. Napoli find it hard to score in these matches because their top striker was injured. Is not nice to build a team a round one player, because when he's injured it will be hard for the whole team to adapt.
Today both Italian giants will meet again, Osimhen will be available for this second leg, I'm sure it will be a tough one.

Well, if Osimhen appears excellent in this match, then he is the most dangerous threat than any other player that Napoli has. for sure, Napoli will play it out in this match to overthrow AC Milan. this match, became a very decisive match for Luciano Spallerti's team. lost on aggregate at Milan headquarters, making Napoli have to be two goals ahead in this match without reply. Unfortunately, there are two Napoli players who must be absent in this match, namely, Min-jae Kim and Fank Anguissa who are banned from playing due to card accumulation.
well, with the absence of these midfielders and defenders, it could be a big loss for Napoli when they play against AC Milan. referring to the predicted line-up that Napoli will play in this match, as usual they didn't make many changes. Spalletti uses a 4-3-3 system, and makes Osimhen a Target Man.

As for AC Milan, in fact, Milan only needed to hold Napoli to a draw until the game whistle was stopped. yes, only with a draw Milan has the right to qualify for the next phase. however, if I refer to the predicted line-up that Milan will apply. apparently, Pioli will only rely on counterattacks.
To be honest, for me this fight is pretty even. even though Napoli plays Osimhen, there is no guarantee that they will win this match. actually, I prefer to bet for a draw. even so, I will take a risk and choose AC Milan in this gamble even though I know the probability that Napoli has is quite high.

The most critical match in the Champions League return matches to be played today will be played between Napoli and Milan. Milan won the first match 1-0. In the last league match played between them, Milan defeated Napoli 0-2 away. There has been a lack of form in Napoli in recent weeks. In the other match, Real Madrid will again beat Chelsea on the road. He can even win with 3-4 goals. Because Chelsea's defensive and offensive line is not good.

The second division match between Real Madrid and Chelsea will have the most spotlight in the Champions League.  

Real Madrid beat Chelsea 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in the first league match. Real Madrid is already two goals ahead of Chelsea. And today's game will confirm which team is going to the next round of the Champions League.  

Chelsea is always a strong team at their home ground but there is no chance to keep Chelsea ahead of Real Madrid even at their home ground.  
Today's match may be won by Real Madrid 1-0, if not, it may be a 1-1 draw.
I only said this much from my side that after the match it can be confirmed which team has won by how many goals.

[hahay]

The most critical match in the Champions League return matches to be played today will be played between Napoli and Milan. Milan won the first match 1-0. In the last league match played between them, Milan defeated Napoli 0-2 away. There has been a lack of form in Napoli in recent weeks. In the other match, Real Madrid will again beat Chelsea on the road. He can even win with 3-4 goals. Because Chelsea's defensive and offensive line is not good.

Even though Chelsea is in a chaotic form, it doesn't mean that Real Madrid can beat Chelsea with a score like 3 to 4 goals. After all, in their first leg which was also played at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid only won with a score of 2-0. So yes, I personally predict that Real Madrid will not keep trying to beat Chelsea by a big score, because a draw is enough for Real Madrid to qualify.

But regarding the match between Napoli against Milan, of course, this match will be a very interesting match to look forward to. The aggregate gap is not too big, of course, making Napoli, who will play at home, make a big effort to be able to beat Milan and maybe with a convincing score too.

[ajiz138]

Given the performances I've seen from Chelsea players in the last few matches, I don't think Chelsea will be able to take any home advantage against Real Madrid. The Madrid team is very strong and organized. In the first leg match against Chelsea, we only saw Real Madrid's dominance. Chelsea's performance was very poor. Madrid won this match by 2-0 margin. And the important thing is that Chelsea managed only 7 shots in this match. Chelsea will not be able to break down Madrid's defense if this poor attacking performance continues. I decided to bet Madrid to win the second leg.

I am also still unsure about Chelsea's game even though they are playing at home they are not too convincing and that is inseparable from the performances that are still inconsistent so there will still be many doubts and Real Madrid is a tough opponent for the UCL so this is a big chance to win the second leg I predict same only for Real Madrid, even if the result is a draw but it doesn't make Chelsea better then I don't think it will change anything for Chelsea.

The odds for Real Madrid are still quite high, the bookies still give hope and it's far from likely they can win, because I know that away from home the bookies always give big odds.
