UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[CryptoBuds]

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.

I bet Real Madrid to win. And I won money. Like the first leg, we don't see any goals from Chelsea in this match. However, Chelsea did not play defensively in this match. As they were already behind after losing 2-0 in the first leg. So they had no chance to play a defensive strategy in this match. However, Chelsea could not break down Madrid's defense with their weak attack, although they did attack a lot. Real Madrid will likely face Manchester City in the semi-finals. I am looking forward to a very exciting match. It is impossible to predict the outcome of this match.

I never gave the Chelsea game too much thoughts. I knew the team is finished and they cannot do anything to withstand Los Blancos. It was just a repetition of the scoreline at Madrid, Chelsea couldn't even score one goal at their home.

I wasn't worried that Chelsea lost their match today, I knew that's what will happen, I don't know how Chelsea will play, but I was so confident that real Madrid will win the match. Even before the match started, I predicted that real Madrid will score two goals, which my prediction is right. I think Chelsea will have to go and rest, they will use the opportunity to work on their players and coach. Both home and away, Chelsea couldn't score any goal, I think they should be ashamed. I wasn't suprise because I don't really know how Chelsea will score with the way they are performing.

In the Milan-Napoli match, it was Milan who advanced. Honestly, I didn't expect such a result with Napoli dominating the league. I must say they surprised me a lot. Napoli didn't play very well in both games and it was Milan who drew this one and went through. Real Madrid won 2-0 in the first leg. Today, in a game that ended in a draw in the first half, they won with goals in the second half. We can say that it is normal for real madrid to eliminate chelsea. Napoli will focus more on the league after this.

Napoli odds were higher than Milan but they failed in the end, too bad for them.
For Chelsea, it was expected to see them being kicked by Real Madrid in today's game. No ambitions no motivation and nothing could be hoped from this team.
Real Madrid advanced with nice 4 goals to 0 in aggregate. Inter and Manchester City will follow tomorrow tho.

Frank lampard keeps showing what a low level Coach he is, I would have even preferred if Chelsea has waited till they got a replacement before sacking Graham potter.

This hasn’t been the best Real Madrid across the two legs but a poor side Madrid would beat this Chelsea team at any event any day any time.

This is the 5th match that Chelsea is losing under  Lampard and is so bad that they can only score 1 goal out of it all.
The worst mistake Chelsea did was signing Lampard as their head coach. The mistake has been done, they gat to manage it till the end of the season. That's their punishment for signing a low-class coach that can't win and substituting the bad players from the good players. Nevertheless, Chelsea's performance against Real Madrid tonight is a bit more manageable than their previous match against each other. Even though Chelsea lost in their home, I wasn't expecting that can push this kind of attack they did today but their problem remains a good striker.

It was very painful to see Napoli knocked out of this competition. It seems something is not right with the team's defense and the midfield. They kept losing balls and Inter took advantage of these lapses and adopted the counter-attacking style. The predicted wonderful season for Napoli is gradually becoming a mirage. I am sure that the club will consider selling Victor Osinhem
and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to enable them to have a financially profitable season. Now rthey have to focus on winning the Seria A.

Chelsea's season finally came to an end today. The club's hope of ever playing in Europe next season is finally over and the management can now see the damage they have done to a club that was singlehandedly built by one man. The club would have to get a top-class coach and do a total overhauling of its players.

The situation is getting chaotic, it looks like Chelsea will be very difficult to get out of this bad period. Lampard's presence had no effect on the team at all. It's like it's hard to find a standard that matches Chelsea players. This season seems to be the last for the Blues to taste the Champions League competition. And if you don't immediately find the right coach, it seems it will be very difficult for Chelsea to be able to return to Europe's most elite competition.

I think that the problems are not only with the coach. I go agree with what you have said above. The coach is also determining the success of club but i reminds you that if there are so many chelsea's players were always performing under perform.

The players like gallagher, chalobach gave a very small impact on the clubs. Chelsea needs to sell so many players to rebuild its squads again. Todd boehly was buying so many useless players during potter's era.

Todd boehly was even coming to the chelsea's changing room before the match against brighton and being so mad at the players caused by chelsea was always getting bad results in a row.

It's likely all of the things in chelsea have their own fault.

At this point, I think Chelsea needs special help from external bodies to help correct all the negativity that has been going on in the club that has resulted in them losing out of all the leagues this season and even the previous season too. the fact that Chelsea has gone through rigorous stages of change of coaches and players but yet failed to meet up with demands shows a lot more that we should not look inward alone for a solution to this problem facing the club.

External body involvement could be of great help and if possible the management of Chelsea should consider a total overhaul of the most significant club structure and officials that are at the helm of affairs in Chelsea.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid, Chelsea was playing well everything was good in first half, first half play more than Real Madrid short on target possession pass completion, but the second half, Real Madrid defense make it difficult for Chelsea,The match ended with the same score as the first leg and 4-0 on aggregate was actually quite crushing,
the first half was goalies, the second half Real Madrid scored two goals first goal in fifty eight minutes scored by Rodrygo and the second goal for eighty minutes. We know Chelsea is in poor performance, but their performance today they tried, Chelsea was in control throughout the match
Real Madrid          Chelsea
6 Short on target  6
52 possession 48

Chelsea played effectively in the first half but failed to score a goal. They kept trying until the second half, when Real Madrid scored, which discouraged them, and you could tell by their expressions and style of play that they had given up on the match.

Chelsea has had a disappointing season in both the Champions League and the Premier League. They must go back and restructure their strategy in order to compete with other top clubs by next season. They already have the players; all they need is a good coach to put them through their paces. It appears that they will not compete in the Champions League next season; however, we may see them in the next two seasons depending on how they perform by next season.

Napoli will focus more on the league after this.

I'm also quite disappointed with the results they got in the second leg, because for the first leg their defeat was a natural thing considering that the match was an away game from Napoli. But in this second leg the result is completely unacceptable. As you said, Napoli are dominating in the league and nothing can prevent them from getting the Serie A title, but they are playing like clowns in UCL especially in the second leg (their home game). AC Milan really still have their usual winning mentality in the UCL.

DAMN it was so close! I hate Osimhen now

A bad season for Chelsea and even potentially relegated. Sad to see a Chelsea team not scoring. Every striker now wants to direct the ball to the goal. Nobody to shoot nobody to score. It's like having Hazard, Oscar and Willian and Mata playing without CF in their early days. In the end Costa made that team into a monster in my opinion. As long as Chelsea don't have CF that is aggressive, strong, defensive and also holds the ball when needed, Chelsea will never score. A Drogba or Costa mold player is needed. Osimhen might suit me.

Napoli created many opportunities in a second leg but they just were lack of accuracy for their shots. Missing a penalty is bad but if they can score goals from other opportunities, the aggregated result would be very different.

AC Milan did not play too bad in Naples but Napoli did regretted some missing chances by themselves. At least they can control their destiny by finishing better and perhaps a pressure to have a first semi final in Champions League for Napoli and for their own player career is their biggest challenge. They failed against themselves first and AC Milan just did completed their task well enough.

Chelsea tried to attack a lot but they could not score any goal in a first half. What happened in a second half is reasonable when Chelsea players failed to keep their minds calmly and lost their own balance between attacking to find goals and defensive to avoid goals from Real Madrid. A first goal from Rodrygo nailed the match as with 3 goals difference, it is impossible for Chelsea to come back.

Napoli are in one of their top form this season, they're in pursuit for the Scudetto and losing 4 nil to their rival in the league game, coming to UCL and get kickout by the same team is quite frustrating. Stefano Pioli and Luciano Spalleti should settle their scores probably next season because both managers have a specified tactics they use when they meet each other. The Rossoneri have eliminated the Parthenopeans from the UCL quarter finals, AC Milan are now semi finalist and I hope they are present in Instanbul after all these battles.

Real Madrid beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge Stadium in the UEFA Champions League Round of 8 Second League match. The match of the second league seems to have copied the match of the first league exactly. 
However, even though Chelsea did not score against Real Madrid, they performed well on the field. Chelsea had more possession than Real Madrid and Chelsea had more short shots on target than Real Madrid but it will be disappointing for Chelsea that they won eight corner kicks and failed to convert one. 

This match was a disappointing match for Chelsea as they performed well but did not find the goal.
However, Brazilian star Rodrygo played alone for Real Madrid.  In the 55th minute of the match, Rodrygo scored the first goal for the team from the assist of vini jr. Chelsea fell behind a lot in the game after scoring the first goal. Chelsea were knocked out of the match when Rodrygo scored again in the 80th minute at the end of the game. 

By winning this match, Real Madrid entered the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Congratulations Real Madrid.

Napoli created many opportunities in a second leg but they just were lack of accuracy for their shots. Missing a penalty is bad but if they can score goals from other opportunities, the aggregated result would be very different.

AC Milan also missed penalty.

What that matters is quality, not quantity. Napoli had 13 shots while AC Milan had just 5. Among the 13 shots by Napoli, just 4 were on target. Among the 5 shots had by AC Milan, 4 were on target. Which only means that it is Napoli home but AC Milan still played very well. Although the two clubs are both from Seria A, unlike if they are both from two different countries entirely which could make away matches more difficult.

Chelsea is just a bonus for punters, we all know where this is going to end and it was the main bet of today. Chelsea tried to reach this far, but we all know that the club is becoming poor in playing. All I am hoping is not to see the worst of Chelsea.

@Oshosondy AC Milan performance has stunned me personally, because I was expecting Napoli to do a comeback and win this match. Also as I had said earlier that Chelsea were bound to lose all their remaining game’s, hence I’m not surprised to see them lose and I believe that in a week or two they’ll sack Lampard and blame him but honestly I’ll blame Todd for not knowing how to run a big club like Chelsea.

Napoli seeems so difficult to have proper finishing. I just saw that how solid the defensive line if ac milan is compared with napoli. I would not be surprised to see that if napoli was losing against ac milan. It seems like that osimhen was not making a lot of changes to the performance of the club. Napoli was dominating everything but it's again losing against acmilan. Giroud is always become a hero for acmilan. This guy is always helping its team when it comes to a difficult situations. My focus was also going to the other side.

The match between real madrid against chelsea has been giving so many disapppointed to the chelsea fans. Chelsea is overall playing so well but finishing is always become the main concern why chelsea is still stuck in the same place.

Since lampard has become caretaker of chelsea and he has been facing 4 losses in a row. Lampard is now the worst manager of chelsea.
It's not even a single win against another team. It's actually another blunder by todd.

So many chelsea fans are so mad right now to him and todd. Some players are also getting bullied caused by they were always performing so badly.

AC Milan's performance wasn't exactly stunning... All the statistics were against them except for shots on target and that made the difference. In the end AC Milan was more efficient, but it would at least be fair to say that Napoli was also not given a penalty that should have been awarded without any doubt. Leao clearly fouled the Napoli guy. They could and should have scored earlier anyway, but if you don't then it is the well-known problem of time running out.

Once again Chelsea has failed to prove themselves tonight and haven't conceded 2 goals to any tonight, this is not a good sign for Chelsea's future sustainability as the club may slide into possible relegation if the current condition continues, and I am sure this present situation may get worst in the coming season.

Since Chelsea has lost all possible bases to recover and there is the possibility that their current coach will soon get a sack threat from the club owners since thos have been their standard of operation since this season begin some months ago.

I lost hope a long time ago. I knew Chelsea weren't going to win. I just watched the game because it might be the last Champion league game Chelsea play in this decade. It has never been this bad. Chelsea have now lost all four of their games under Lampard in his second spell in charge, and are winless in their last six.
They no longer have the distraction of UCL football to keep the season alive, and have slid to 11th in the Premier League with seven games left to play.

Everyone said long ago that Chelsea's chances of winning against Real Madrid were very slim. Because Chelsea was already two goals behind in the first league. It goes without saying that Chelsea were creating good chances at their home ground. 

Chelsea went short on a couple of goals but Courtois parried Chelsea's attacks each time. Chelsea would have gone ahead of Real Madrid with an early goal if Courtois had failed to make an early save short of the goal post. But in the end it didn't happen, Chelsea proved themselves failed in another test. 
What is the point of spending such a huge amount of money if the field performance is not good.
