UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[bering]

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.

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.

I was thought Napoli will advance to semifinal which is their highest achievement if they can able to do that but unfortunately their journey have to stopped today and indeed it's very dissapoint result because since group stage Napoli has showed they are one of champion candidate because Napoli has showed their impressive performance since early stage but apparently Milan mentally is more strong than them and just look at to the statistics that Milan were playing very effective and they didn't required so much shots on goal to scores

On the other hand Real Madrid were easily can overcome Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and during the match although Chelsea playing at home they weren't able to created the opportunities to scores goals even Real Madrid who able to threaten Chelsea defense several times in the first half and everything was change in the second half that Real Madrid were playing with more aggresive and the result is Rodrygo can scores 2 goals and bringing Madrid to win the match

After this result Real Madrid were very closer to their 15th title in this competition but for Chelsea unfortunately they weren't able to bouncing back and with Lampard they had passed 4 loses from 4 matches in all competitions Chelsea even only able to scored 1 goal which is worse statistics if we compared to when Chelsea in Potter era

[asriloni]

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.

The worst result that has ever been achieved in the two decade. Todd was destroying a good record that was already made by chelsea in abramovich's era. That's was very sad to see todd was doing everything like he was sure if he could make the club even better. Chelsea may keep getting more bad results in upcoming matches. Lampard is under pressure right now. The problem with this guy is lampard doesn't know how to pick the players properly. Lampard was always picking the wrong compositions as starting line up like he doesn't know how to become a good coach.

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.

Chelsea may lose against brentford soon. I have no trust anymore to chelsea. This club has been killing itself. Todd as an owner can't even act properly like what it must be.
Todd is only bringing more bad results for chelsea. He was making too much intervention.

Despite Chelsea being the dominant side against Madrid, they could not win the match and were eliminated from the tournament. If they had scored in the first half and had control of the game the match could have ended with a very different result but goalkeeper Courtois made excellent saves throughout the match. Real Madrid managed to pass the round again as if they were the main team of the tournament.

[Dewi Aries]

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.

Napoli did what they could but unfortunately luck was not on their side and to be honest Napoli messed up my bet
From the start I was very confident that Napoli would win but Milan seems to know how to handle it 23 shots from Napoli  nothing
now Napoli will focus more on the local league and we will see who will go to the next stage.

Chelsea, again we're outclassed. Chelsea needed to win with at least two goals something they only managed twice in their last couple of games frank lampard instead of packing his team with firepower the caretaker boss pick an extra midfielder at the expense of an attacker duo Chelsea continues to threaten the home fans showing them an appreciation for their intensity of their t Madrid soon gained a foothold in the game this was another crushing defect in a season of many and one which has effectively ended their campaign it was not a night for Chelsea

You can't play with too many attackers against Real Madrid. They will punish every mistake in the middle and in defense(and they did).
Chelsea had enough goal opportunities to take the game into additional time(and maybe penalties), but they missed all of them.
Congrats to AC Milan for getting into the semi-finals after 2007. I was supporting Napoli, but the player from Georgia with a hard to pronounce name missed the penalty. An Italian team will play to win the Champions League, after Juventus failed two times in 2015 and 2017.
I will support AC Milan against Inter.

They did everything they can and actually made things right except their bad shots. Many good opportunities were completed by off-target shots which are abnormal and if they all happened in a single match, it's simply not a match day for Napoli.

Even before the missed penalty from Kravatskhelia, Napoli did have other chances to open the match and equalize aggregated result. Napoli did have amazing adventure in Champions League and they maintained it till last minutes.

However, AC Milan are deserved their ticket for semi final and honestly it looks so cool to see a club with 7 titles will appear in semi final after 16 years. 16 years are too long and they are back as a second biggest club in Champions League.

I'm so hyped for the semifinal cause it will most likely be Milan-Inter. I remember watching their games in UCL in semifinals when I was a kid, it brings back so much memories. I hope Inter will keep their lead today and we will watch such a classic match in semifinals.

I saw huge sacrifice from the side of the players they play like a team with energy and high intensity they trusted themselves and their way of playing football to over come a great Napoli side that has cause them problem both in the first and second leg of this tournament I think the won it with heart, energy and believe

many have acknowledged that Chelsea is very bad at the moment and in the second leg they have to meet Real Madrid.
although Real Madrid in La Liga is not doing too well but Madrid is focused on this championship league which is very easy to beat Chelsea and make a defeat that Chelsea must accept.
I can't stop thinking that Chelsea in any league has to play very badly with very bad performance and there is no hope whatsoever for Chelsea in any league.
and I think Lampard should be replaced by a more professional coach who can lead Chelsea to a better future.

Awful finishing by chelsea. This is the main problem that has been facing by this team since early of this season. I don't even know what's gonna be the best solution to fix the problem that is owned by chelsea. It seems like that former of chelsea's goal keeper was still in a different class compared with kepa. I would like to see that mendy to play against real madrid rather than kepa. Mendy's performance can be called as good as curtois despite the fact that if sometime mendy was also making blunder.

Lampard was also using garbage formation. he was putting one forward instead of two or even three. Chelsea really needs to create more scores but lampard was using an incorrect strategy against real madrid.
Real madrid who used 4-3-3 was able to be fully defending from any attacks that came from chelsea.
It's the worst performance by chelsea. The club can do even better for sure.

It seems like that there will be so many changes in the club for the upcoming season. It will be so good if todd was sign the special one.

Unfortunately, luck or rather chance is part of this game and makes it beautiful because it is unpredictable
If it were predictable it would be boring right? Napoli weren't lucky, but if you look at them they achieved their goal of the Italian internal championship. I would say that it is an excellent season for them.

Yes I agree with you , it's just that Milan will find another strong opponent in the semi-finals they will fight between Munich or Man city
Not meaning to belittle Milan but somehow I doubt Milan can qualify for the next stage because the opponent is the favorite team.

Chelsea really performed well in the first half to blocked Real Madrid not to score a single goal in the first half, because Chelsea defenders didn't give Real Madrid strikers any chance to have access to their goalpost than to made the first half ended up draw 0-0. Real Madrid goalkeeper really help their team to avoid disgrace from Chelsea, because Chelsea gain many opportunities that would have given Chelsea three goals to weak the power of Real Madrid but Real Madrid goalkeeper saved all the balls not to allow Chelsea to achieve a single goal through out the match. Indeed Real Madrid deserved that victory, because they really prepared to eliminate Chelsea from the tournament which they did by defeated Chelsea 2-0.

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.

Real Madrid gained more strength after Rodrygo scored the first goal and continued to play well to add another by the 80th minute, which is very disappointing for Chelsea this season because real Madrid scored the same goal for them in both the first leg and the second leg of the match. The game was very interesting because both teams played well. Chelsea even played better than real Madrid and had a chance to score goals, but they still were unable to do so.
Real Madrid has advanced to the semi-final, which excites me greatly. My advice to Chelsea is that they shouldn't blame Frank Lampard for the game because the players gave good performances despite their inability to score goals, and I am aware that the players who participated in the match are also among Chelsea's top players.

From the team line up and formation of Chelsea at the beginning of the match, I can say they didn't plan to win the Match, playing 5 natural defenders in a match that you want more than three (3) goals seems impossible, I thought Chelsea would have come out to play more attacking football formation that playing defensive game in that match. Playing such formation with 5 defenders would have been when you have won a match with at least two goals different or in a match that you  want a draw, because more defenders in a match will make it to lack creativity and chances to goals.

I don't think the coach is the only problem of the club and it is not everything that goes wrong that the coach should be blamed for Chelsea squad is depth poor no energy no team spirit and intensity in playing the owner has also contributed to this with his emotional decision making they had a top manager in Thomas tuchel but he was sacked for reasons only best known to them the way he has presided over Chelsea dealing despite lacking soccer experience is concerning I think the coach alone should not be blamed for Chelsea poor performance

There's definitely something serious going on with Chelsea. It's hard to believe that the same Chelsea players who used to score, now having a tough time on score. What has changed? They still have the drive and passion to win anything at all! Congratulations for Madrid on their impressive win. It would be interesting if Madrid facing Man City. They're becoming almost unstoppable these days.

As for AC Milan, they're through to the next round, which was a real surprise to many. Napoli lost due to a combination of losing key players and missed penalty from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. I can't believe to see an underdog come out on top, but AC Milan certainly earned their spot in the semi-finals.

[RILWAN]

What exactly is Chelsea's problem this season? Is it the coach, board or the players? Is it the motivation is just getting low?

Poor finishing in Chelsea final third was responsible for lack of goal in their match against Real Madrid of course N'Golo Kante and Marc Cucurella missed chances could have changed the match had they scored those scoring chances unfortunately got punished, moreso Lampard tactical formation of starting a single attacker was also a major factor responsible for lack of goals,  it's obvious that Chelsea can't be playing a experience team in UCL like Real Madrid and miss some scoring chances, meanwhile Chelsea is out of UCL and currently in 11th position and with no chances of playing UCL next season, in the other match Napoli missed penalty affected their chances of comeback unfortunately are out of UCL

[Coyster]

I would say that it is an excellent season for them.

Yeah, i would second that, of course it would be disappointing and painful for Napoli to be eliminated yesterday, but i don't think they can have too much to complain about, they were never going to win the CL this season, you would have to arrive in the later stages many, many times, before you stand a chance prolly play a final and try and win it. Napoli are definitely going to win their league title in an amazing way, thus to do that and get to the CL QF is a successful season for them, and they can aim for more next season.
