Yes, Napoli must fail in the quarter-finals because Milan has been able to overcome Napoli's real game so that in the last few matches Milan has always won with Napoli, meaning that Milan's strategy is quite effective and already knows its weaknesses, because I really predicted that Napoli would qualify but they were dominant. still losing to Milan who was lucky to score 1 goal and even that is very important to add to its aggregate.

Milan will definitely have the chance to meet the Italian team again, namely Inter Milan and just waiting for the results tonight, Inter has now benefited by having a pretty good aggregate goal of 2-0.
So will Manchester city and Real Madrid meet again? The feeling is very possible considering that Manchester City already has a better quality game than Bayern.

This is the match you have been waiting for because Munich has no hope of winning to qualify for the semifinals because their move will be stopped by Manchester City, today is the second leg meeting and it is certain that Manchester City will win again at the Allianz Arena to beat Munich, if there is a Manchester City meeting with madrid of course it will be very good because I am waiting for this meeting considering the previous defeat suffered by City in CL last season, losing narrowly so that City did not qualify for the final, that meeting will certainly be an arena for revenge.

I believe that with Manchester City's current strength they are strong enough to beat Madrid, Madrid was the reigning UCL champion last season, it's time for Manchester City to take over the CL champion this season from Madrid's hands, the semifinal meeting with Madrid will certainly be a revenge event. good revenge to repeat the bitter past experienced by City must be paid in full.  

I don't know why but it looks like there is something wrong with napoli. It was playing so badly at home. It's not performing as usual. So many pressures to the ac milan were not even working.
It's disappointing that napoli was not qualified for the semifinal. Spalletti needs to find an alternative strategy when strategy can be read easily by its opponent.
Spalletti needs to learn how to analyze past match to be used as data for future matches. it's not all of clubs will always be playing monoton. It has proven by pioli if he was made some changes in ac milan and it works.


Anything can happen in football. it's about how good analyzation that will be done of the opponent. There will always be weakness owned by any team. As long as the team can properly identifying the weakness and im sure such team can win the match easily.

Let's move on. We have another important match between intermilan vs benfica. This gonna be another high-tension game as well caused by benfica losing in the first leg.

It's big gambling for benfica whether the club will take the full offensive strategy as a way to make as many goals as possible or not. Benfica really needs goals right now.

To be honest, the result in the first leg was beyond my expectations. I didn't think that Inter could win their match at Benfica headquarters. although in theory and analysis, it is in accordance with what I previously suspected. however, the result is quite surprising. and yes, I lost the first leg betting.
Speaking of the fight in the second leg that will be held today, actually Inter is more fortunate because it plays in front of its own public. but I wouldn't be surprised if Simone Inzaghi will continue to use the same pattern and system, Inzaghi will still use the 3-5-2 formation.
by the way, Inter only needed a draw to qualify for the next phase. So, I'm sure Inzaghi will prioritize his defense more.

On the other hand, trailing by two goals in the first game. like it or not, Roger Schmidt had to maximize his team to win this fight.  so there is no option for Benfica to play with an offensive pattern, just like in the first match, only this time Benfica will play it all out. referring to the predicted line-up that Benfica will apply, nothing has changed like during the first match with the 4-3-2-1 formation pattern. Goncalo Ramos, remains a pure striker to break into the Inter defense. I suspect that Benfica will dominate the game and try to play aggressively from the first minute the whistle sounded. So, my estimation, a win for Benfica.

I saw statistics for the matchup of Napoli vs. Milan over both games and i have to say those statistics were heavily in favor of Napoli. They had like 70% or more ball possession and also the amount of shots were on the same level as the one of Milan. The only difference is that Napoli was not able to score as many goals out of that chances as Milan was able to. Also i have to say that yesterday Milan was pretty lucky too. I mean just look at that foul of Leao in the box. For me that definitely was a penalty and i still can not understand, why the VRA did not even tell the Referee to look at the replays again. If he would have look at it, i am sure he would have given a penalty there.

It's really unfortunate that Napoli, who was predicted to be the dominant club to qualify for the semi-finals, had to accept the fact that they were defeated by Milan. Even on paper Milan performed poorly in several matches. Napoli has buried their dream of returning, but Milan needs to be wary of their move in the semi-final against either Benfica or Inter. On the other hand, Real Madrid will prepare for all eventualities where the opponent is confirmed to be Manchester City. As a club that is on an ideal path, it is possible that Manchester City will overwhelm Madrid a little.

Mentally I thought Napoli had nothing to lose in the second leg but in the end luck was not on their side yesterday. Milan are very good in defense, their goalkeeper is in perfect condition to thwart Napoli's many comeback moments. Penalty saving was very important for Milan, but Milan had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Actually I had predicted that Milan would qualify for the semifinals by beating Napoli, and it happened. It's been a really great season for Milan and all of its staff even though they still have to fight to reach the dream final.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid in the quarter-finals was a very attacking game.  And at the end of the game the score was 0-2, Real Madrid defeated Chelsea and confirmed the semi-finals. Chelsea were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League after losing two consecutive games to Real Madrid. Real Madrid went 4-0 on aggregate over the two legs, knocking Chelsea out of the quarter-finals. However, Real Madrid has performed extremely well in this Champions League. Although Real Madrid is confirmed in the semi-finals, it is very difficult to say which team the final match will be against. However, the team that can win the Manchester City vs Bayern Munchen game with more goals will be confirmed in the semi finals.

I don't think there was much that Napoli could do against AC Milan yesterday. AC Milan clearly is more experienced in the Napoli hence after beating Napoli in their local League they already knew how well to contain and play Napoli. They understood their role as the team seen as the underdog in the game and played their role very well to beat Napoli.

Real Madrid will be preparing to play with Manchester City or Bayern Munich, while AC Milan will be preparing to play Benfica or Inter Milan. It is still difficult to predict the teams that will be in the finals, but AC Milan have a very good chance.

After the UEFA Champions League quarter final ties were drwan and Napoli were made to face AC Milan,  Napoli were favoured by almost all football faithfuls to comfortably eliminate AC Milan from the competition and thereby making them believe AC Milan would not be very difficult to beat.
Even after AC Milan sent early warnings to them of how good of a team they are by beating Napoli 4:0 in their league before the Champions League tie licks off, Napoli still didn't do much to heed to the warning and tactically make some some changes that'll bring a better result and that is why they were eliminated.

The game will be started in a few hours and Bayern Munich can have a chance to come back after the bad result they got in the first leg against Manchester City, the good thing for them in the second leg is they are going to face Manchester City against but this time in Allianz Arena where they can have more benefits, but since they lost the first leg with a 3-0 result it's too hard for them to come back in the second leg.

by falling behind on aggregate in the first leg, of course, Napoli will only think about playing attacking and being more aggressive. because if they drew or lost, it would mean nothing.
even in the second leg Napoli also left earlier. Milan put up an unbeatable defense. Osimhen needed more than 90 minutes to score. and it did not produce the result that Napoli had hoped for. both teams have shown their best. and the results are congratulations to all who support Milan.

It was very surprising for me, because in today's match AC Milan managed to win the quarter-final match vs Napoli after the second leg managed to draw with a score of 1 - 1. In fact, from the mental position and stability of the game in the domestic league, Napoli should have been able to win. But, luck with Milan this time. It's a good thing for Milan to at least prove that they still have targets this season.

Napoli actually played well but one thing was that Ac Milan were prepare for the second leg. They were aware of the unexpected and expected and attack all through while being conscious of their defense. Honestly I’m proud of Ac Milan, they deserves alot of credit with the manner in which they approached the game. They were very organized and played as team, both defensively and offensively, something which Napoli lacked in both encounters.

Both Napoli and Milan had penalty kicks that failed to convert into goals but what was quite surprising was that Napoli still struggled to score. In fact, Napoli were just able to score before the game was over and that means Milan is the only team that Napoli cannot beat easily this season.

Meanwhile, if we consider Napoli's performance so far this season then of course Napoli can be the team that will qualify for the semifinals. But in reality, it's not as easy as predicted, because Milan can play very well in this phase and of course Milan managed to advance to the semifinals.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City are likely to have a Champions League quarter-final second leg match tomorrow. Since Manchester City won the first leg 3-0, Bayern Munich need to win 4-0 in the second leg to advance to the semi-finals. But I don't think Bayern Munich can do anything.

Agree with what you said, because the current conditions are actually very difficult for Bayern, especially with their current condition which is still having problems scoring goals.
Even though for now the match will be held at the Alianz Arena which incidentally is the home of Bayern but with their current condition it is actually quite difficult and I am still brave enough to bet on Manchester City in their current condition.

The possibility of Bayern Munich to qualify for the next round is very slim, although there is still hope that Bayern Munich will be able to score more goals in today's game at home. But seeing the quality of Manchester City's players this season, it looks like it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to score more goals in the Champions League second leg this season.

I look more at the mentality of each team than the DNA because not always those who have won the Champions League can win again this season if they don't play well enough. Because apart from the luck factor, the factor of great players must also be looked at because it also has an influence in the Champions League so I see that Manchester City has the possibility of getting into the Champions League final this season because the players are pretty good even though Manchester City doesn't have DNA yet champion in the Champions League.

It's very wrong mate. Chelsea has been performing very bad since the competition was just starting. You shall try to see it properly about how chelsea is always lack of proper finishing in any of matches. Big team or small team, the result is always be the same for chelsea. Incapability to create goal. Almost all of attackers have no clue anymore. So many blunders already made.
Chelsea needs to sign a proper attacker. The era for havertz already gone. It's the time for chelsea to get a good coach to manage the club for upcoming season.


Real madrid was the strongest team in UCL. I can see it from how many UCL trophies that already won by real madrid compared with another club. Rodrygo is the man of match against chelsea. Chelsea will be in a disaster if it keeps perform so bad like that.
It's such a disgrace for chelsea always loses in any matches.

Napoli where my favorite team to win this season champions League, but so painful that they are out of the champions League beating by AC Milan. Napoli has an early chance to take the lead but they lost it, after missing the penalty then it was clear that they were never going to make it through to the next stage, their only hope now is winning the serial A title which they have won already because with numbers of points they have gathered already no team is going to but pressure on them again, AC Milan played really well they are now through to the next level.
