UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[piebeyb]

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 MIlan vs Napoli match will certainly be an interesting match to watch because Napoli still have many chances to win in this second leg match, Osimhen's return certainly makes the Milan side have to increase their vigilance. Because this season, the 24-year-old player from Nigeria has become the scariest scourge on the Partenopei front line. Moreover, the match will play at home to Napoli, of course, will be an additional point for Napoli to be able to appear aggressive to score more than 2 goals to qualify for the next round of the semifinals.

Apart from that, the meeting between Chelsea and Real Madrid was a meeting that was not too difficult for Madrid, because Madrid had pocketed 2 goals in the first leg so it was enough to win just 1 goal or get a draw, Madrid will qualify for the next round of the semi-finals. Chelsea will have no hope because they are really in a bad situation.

I have high expectations for both games. Especially since Chelsea must win by 2 goals in order to be able to enforce extra time in any case. But that too is quite an achievement in itself. Real Madrid are razor sharp on the counterattack and if Madrid are able to score a goal quickly then I think it will be difficult for Chelsea. How do you do that? Play compactly, make sure you don't concede a goal and at the same time try to play offensively yourself and score goals. Real Madrid itself set the example a number of times last season, but that only went well a few times. Top favorite to win the CL is City, but they are not just finished with Chelsea or Real Madrid in a possible semi-final.

ya.ya.yo!

The second leg match between Chelsea and Real Madrid will take place today and like most predictions, everyone will definitely favor Real Madrid to win. On the other hand, Chelsea is still slumped with its current performance. The remaining coach of Chelsea's season Frank Lampard has not been able to awaken the potential of his players since the last few matches in the domestic league and will Chelsea be able to put pressure on Real Madrid, considering that Chelsea will be the host. Looking at the betting odds for the two teams, it's actually not much different from Real Madrid's odds @2.50 and chelsea with odds @2.75, but with this slight difference in odds it doesn't make me hesitate to keep betting on Real Madrid's win. At least Real Madrid will win again with a score of 0-2.

[tranthidung]

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.

They could as they created enough opportunities to win like 3 - 0 or 4 - 0 but some of their players were selfish and made bad decisions. I don't know those moments will be keys for Chelsea to make a comeback after all.

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.

At Stamford Bridge, Real Madrid don't need another win and they only need to have a draw or even lose with 1-goal difference to beat Chelsea after all. I believe Real Madrid will be able to achieve and even Chelsea score first, Real Madrid are strong enough to face with such pressure.

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.

Napoli will play with all they have as they will have their first semi final in their club history if they can beat AC Milan and go to semi finals. Osimhen is back and he will be a biggest hope for Napoli after some bad matches recently without Osimhen by his injury.

overall Madrid is superior to Chelsea for now. but it won't be easy to score goals at Chelsea. Madrid will qualify for the Semi-Finals. but I didn't destroy Chelsea today.
while the Napoli vs Milan match. Milan may already be superior on aggregate. and this can affect the game of both teams. Napoli will be more aggressive than in the first leg. they are only one goal apart. it will not keep Milan safe.

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.

For me the chances of FC Chelsea to advance into the next round are just as slim, or even non-existent, as the one of Bayern Munich tomorrow. While FC Chelsea is "only" 2 goals behind against Real Madrid for me the performances of Chelsea in the last few games were even weaker than the ones of Bayern Munich. Real totally dominated them in the first leg and could have scored even more goals, while Bayern Munich was at least at the same level with ManCity until they conceded the second goal, after that they completely fell apart.
That being said, this is football and if Chelsea is able to go into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead then everything is possible again because even Real will get nervous when they are in the 80th minute with a 1-0 for Chelsea.

The result that will be difficult to determine this night is the result of Ac Milan vs Napoli because I learnt that Victor Osimhen will be in the line up and I know the guy has some kind of forces that changes game.
But for Real Madrid and Chelsea I am not expecting any wonders and there won't be any wonders.
Real Madrid will qualify against Chelsea and Chelsea won't be able to see draw thus night, let alone winnings. You cannot keep on doing the same things and expect different results.

Real Madrid did not have a burden when away to Stamford bridge, a 2-0 aggregate advantage made it the favorite to qualify for the semifinals. Real Madrid only need a draw in the second leg, they don't need to look for goals to qualify for the next round.
Chelsea are clearly under pressure, they have to look for 3 goals to turn things around. With conditions that are currently teetering and a record of never winning in the last six matches, Chelsea chances of making a comeback are very small.

Real Madrid excels on aggregate and also excels in terms of attack effectiveness in every match.
The Real Madrid striker is supported by two very experienced attacking machines with Modric and Kross forming a formidable tandem in midfield. Benzema is the deadliest striker, while Vinicius quite often disturbs the opponent's defense with his individual actions. I think Chelsea should be pretty defensive today even if they are going to try to get out of the pressure after losing 2-0 at the Bernabeu.

I know anything can happen in today's second leg between Chelsea and Real Madrid. But if I analyze their game in the last few matches, I don't think Chelsea will be able to score those 2 goals easily even though they are playing at home. Real Madrid are the team that will likely make it to the semi-finals this season, they are unstoppable.

[Alphakilo]

It was a fabulous win for Manchester city. De Bruyne and Halland are the two wonderful players that Manchester city will not joke with.
Stones goal was unexpected.
Haaland has a special way of positioning him self for a beautiful finishing and hardly misses target.
Manchester city team are becoming unbeatable with their current formation and performance and also the dedication of the players.

I believe that there is every possibility of Chelsea coming back to win Real Madrid in this game but the only thing I am doubtful right now is that Chelsea is not in their best of form and Frank lampard the Chelsea coach we still use the same players he used against Madrid in the first leg and against Brighton that almost destroyed Chelsea completely. A lot of comebacks has been seen in the history of football essentially the champions League but do you think that Chelsea can come back and defeat Madrid that has more experience in the champions League and then I believe the answer is no,the possibility of Chelsea winning Madrid and progressing to the next round of the champions League is very very slim considering the real Madrid players has been playing so far in the champions League yes real Madrid may be out of the race in their Laliga but when it comes to champions League I bet you to believe in for them they are ready to beat any team to make their way to make sure that they progress to the next round of the champions League and right now they have to go ahead playing in the Stamford bridge tonight they can get a goal there is every possibility of them scoring a goal you have Karim benzema you have an informed junior all of their players are fit and Chelsea with the squad with the money spent they have not done anything meaningful this season look at their position their position in the league they are in no position better to win this game tonight I don't believe in any miracle that will happen for Chelsea tonight I believe they're out after this game I'm even sure they will lose again against Madrid. Is Real Madrid all the way I believe Madrid will progress to the next round and Chelsea is already out of the champions League they should just go and work on their form,themselves but I believe Frank lampard is not the right man to take them to the promised land Chelsea is out of the champions League I'm sorry to say this.

With Real Madrid winning 2-0 on aggregate over Chelsea, Real Madrid has a much more chance of advancing to the semifinals, although Chelsea still has the chance to make a comeback and I think this is slim, maybe in this second leg match the two teams are both trying to improve their performance which is Real Madrid must maintain their advantage and Chelsea are required to make a comeback to qualify for the semifinals, but given the small chance this provides a good opportunity for Real Madrid to be able to maintain it or be able to add to the results

[skarais]

Real Madrid already had a two-goal advantage in the first match over any superior opponent. Now they will be very comfortable in tonight's game. The midfield will also return good games. Real Madrid match will take time and try to score in appropriate opportunities. Vini-Jr - Benzema can do a nice job again. What I'm really curious about is what they will do against Napoli-Milan. Napoli have lost consecutively in the league and the champions league, and this will be another match. They may still have a chance, to add that I am still hopeful for Napoli as Osimhen will be in this match.

We both already know the strengths and weaknesses of each team that will play the second leg today.
Real Madrid and Milan in my opinion will be successful in advancing to the semi-finals waiting for the other two teams tomorrow between Manchester City and Inter. I can't be sure, but the four teams I mentioned are the favorites in their respective fixtures.

Regarding the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match, of course Chelsea will desperately play well at home to catch up to a two-goal deficit in the first leg. Chelsea are not favored in the battle because of their unsatisfactory performance, while Real Madrid is a team that deserves it. Milan also deserves after beating Napoli twice in Serie A and the first leg of the Champions League, so these two teams I think will qualify.

I even said it was impossible for Chelsea to turn things around, Chelsea's performance is currently very bad and they are already 2 goals behind Real Madrid by Agg.
there is not the slightest possibility in my opinion for Chelsea even though playing at home it is even likely that Chelsea will again be able to lose in front of its own supporters.

apart from Agg 2-0 for Real Madrid's advantage, but I highlight the performance of the two teams in the first leg, of course there are many significant differences and Chelsea in performance is very far behind Real Madrid, as if these two teams have a very large difference in quality.
therefore I think it is very likely for Real Madrid to be able to win this second leg again.

We should not expect anything out of the box tonight with Chelsea as it is evident that there has been a lot of holdback for Chelsea this season both in the premier league and champion league and at that, we can not bet on Chelsea winning the game between them and real Madrid in the champions league game tonight.


I am sure most gamblers will drive around to choose Real Madrid, since Real Madrid is more consistent and versed in their ability to make goals scores,  compared to Chelsea who has been on a total decline lately.

But with their current condition, and with their current poor finishing, I think it's still a little difficult.
Chelsea even only scored 1 goal in their last 5 matches and even then this week and had to lose to Brighton in the Premier League which made me doubt their comeback.
Even though this does not rule out the possibility of something like this happening, I still feel that this is an impossibility that will happen.

[Smartvirus]

The various reasons you've spelt out there coupled with Real Madrid's record in the UCL are the reasons why you shouldn't have doubts on Real Madrid beating Chelsea home and away at this stage of the competition. Yeah, anything could happen in football and as such, I would love to watch Chelsea try and not just measure up in aggregate but, to eliminate Real Madrid which I highly doubt.

Same Chelsea that couldn't manage it and hold off Crystal Palace in the EPL, even with a good start of having scored the first goal, Crystal Palace was still able to run them down.

Real Madrid we know are best at that. The won't stand a chance with Vini Jnr. running the sidelines, Benzema and Luca Modric troubling the mid field, its almost a no contest match for Chelsea at this point.

I'm quite curious, about in the past regarding the teams that managed to comeback so crazily. Was it at that time that the teams that managed to make a comeback were having a difficult time in the local league, or were they actually having good performance in the local league. So that this can encourage the team to be able to comeback in this Champions League.

Because I'm sure, situations and conditions like what Chelsea is currently experiencing are of course very difficult to make a comeback. Also, if for example Chelsea get lucky but still, I personally believe Chelsea's luck still won't make Chelsea make a comeback.

The problem is that when we talk about Comebacks we also realize that it is Madrid who often do things like that and last season it was probably the most successful comeback they have always made because it was not the only time they did something like that.
Of course it will be a little difficult to hope for a comeback to the king of comebacks but indeed all possibilities are of course still there but when we talk about advantages now Madrid will definitely be favorites again in this match.
