Napoli was something disappointing yesterday, meanwhile Milan was playing with a perfect set up. these kind of tournaments deserve always some "surprises"... Probably it was to hard for Napoli, continue to play with the same standard like in Serie A...
That result is expected after Napoli got two consecutive loses by AC Milan, one in Serie A and one in Champions League (the first leg). They did try best they could in a second leg but it's not their day and they failed to shot accurately to score goals. When time went more, they lost their patience more and it gave AC Milan players more chance to do counter attacks.

Performing well in Serie A does not guarantee Napoli can continue to survive in the Champions League. Milan seems to already know Napoli weak points, a 4-0 victory at Napoli headquarters in Serie A some time ago allowed Milan to continue to dominate Napoli.
Napoli might in the UCL ran aground at the hands of Milan, Stefano Pioli managed to knock Napoli out with the precise strategy he used. After being eliminated in the UCL, Napoli can only focus on Serie A. The remaining 8 matches must be used perfectly to win the Scudetto this season.

Real Madrid awaits tonights winner in the game between City and Bayern Munich, of course Pep's men are already 3-0 up, and have one foot and a half in the CL SF, i don't see a way back for Bayern Munich, thus it's going to be City v Real Madrid in the SF, and i don't think Real Madrid are going to eliminate them like they did last season. City made quite a lot of errors in that game with Real Madrid last season, they failed to score more goals in the first leg, and they failed to defend well in both legs, this season they have a goal machine in Erling Haaland, and their defense are at their best in this period, City are going to be in this season's CL final in Istanbul.
Football is full of surprises and shocking results but I don't see a way Bayern Munich would be able to cancel the 3:0 established lead by Manchester City. Thomas Tuchel might be a fine manager but he just got employed and he's still getting to know his players, so I don't think they can get pass City. Like you said, it's going to be a Madrid vs City semifinal and Manchester City would have another opportunity to right their wrongs against Real Madrid in their last champions league outing. It's going to be a great encounter.

The lapses Bayern faces from the first leg goals is too hgh . It will be a daunting task to equalize the goals, especially considering Manchester City's intent to score as well. Yesterday's match between Real Madrid and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge serves as a reminder of the difficulty in overturning a deficit, as Chelsea ultimately conceded two more goals and were eliminated in the quarterfinals. However, there is still hope for Bayern, as Tuchel stated that it is not over until the final whistle, and perhaps a miracle could happen in today's match.

I made 2 bets in this match because I was so sure I was in Madrid.
This is a pretty big win for me this week because the 12.00 Odds for my 0-2 score went well. Even though I regretted losing to Napoli odds a little, but with the win for Madrid in the 2 bets I made, I don't really feel like I have lost for Napoli.
It's actually very difficult to guess the score in the bet, let alone the odds in large numbers, but that's your luck with the bet won.

But unfortunately I made a multi bet where one chose Napoli who were so confident they could win but in the end had to lose the bet because the Napoli vs Milan match ended in a draw.

At Napoli, they were quite confident last night, it's just that they weren't given space by Milan, who tightened their resistance, but with an aggregate like that, Milan qualified for the semifinals.

How are you tonight, it's a bit difficult to start betting, Bayern Munich looks like they will win at Allianz on the other hand we look at Man City who are so strong in any game.

Inter Milan seems to have a pretty good chance.

AC Milan do have a perfect player to do this task, Rafael Leao and with absence of Anguissa and Kim Min Jae, Napoli defense system was exploited easily by Leao. One of those situations lead to the goal for AC Milan which mostly nailed the ticket to semi final for them. A failed penalty from Kravatskhelia and a late equalizer from Osimhen only make this draw is painful for Napoli.

Inter this season had opposite performance in champion league that since group stage until today they were successfully to eliminate their opponents and Benfica also has became an their victim because surprisingly they were lose with scores 2-0 and now Benfica have to win at least with 3 goals margin if they want to advance to semifinal and this is very hard for them

For Inter they are in the comfortable position because all they have to do is to get draw results today or lose with 1 goal margin only but as a host Inter had favourable positions because they will playing in the front of their own fans and it will boosted their mentally because the fans directly will support them besides that Inter were quite strong at home in champion league and so far only Bayern who able to beat them at their home

Benfica conditions doesn't looks good because in all competitions Benfica has lose 3 times streak and only able to scored 1 goal and my prediction is Inter had good chances to beat Benfica again especially they always be performing good in champion league and Inter has odds @2.17 and about final scores probably 1-0 and if Inter can able to win and qualified then we will see Milan derby on semifinal later

Talking about the match for the second leg today, the chance still has Madrid and the odds are actually quite good if you look at the current conditions for them, even though they are the away team for this leg 2 but of course they are still the favorites now and I think it doesn't hurt to bet back on Madrid with odds this big for them.

2.55 is indeed quite good in terms of odds, especially with the Madrid players who seem ready for this second leg.
Ancelotti himself does look quite serious even though Chelsea's current condition can be said to be not in good condition, but on the other hand they will not consider this an easy match because they are aware that even though Chelsea this season is quite bad they are still one of the big club.
Being in Madrid is worth it but on the other hand I think Chelsea definitely want to create conditions where they are less humiliated.
In the end, this is indeed a condition that is profitable enough to be used as a bet.



I made 2 bets in this match because I was so sure I was in Madrid.
This is a pretty big win for me this week because the 12.00 Odds for my 0-2 score went well. Even though I regretted losing to Napoli odds a little, but with the win for Madrid in the 2 bets I made, I don't really feel like I have lost for Napoli.

Wow! Thanks for share and congratz for your win with correct score, definitely something really hard to hit and absolutely not common to play!

I think we might see a high scoring match between Bayern Munich and Manchester City today, since Bayern Munich are falling behind by 3 goals on aggregate, it would simply make no sense for them to play defensively at the Allianz Arena in front of their home fans. The only slim chance for Bayern Munich to progress further in the Uefa Champions League would be to attack right from the start of the match and hoping to score goals with full support of their home fans cheering loudly for them.

I guess Bayern Munich might be able to beat Manchester City today but it might not change the result of Bayern Munich crashing out of the Uefa Champions League as falling behind by 3 goals on aggregate are a tough task to overcome.
The match at Allianz is a hope for Bayern Munich but with such a high aggregate we don't believe Bayern Munich will qualify scoring more than 3 goals this is very difficult now while Manchester City is already in top form maybe what you said could really happen Bayern Munich win but it will be close and of course Manchester City will defend or even with the counter attack they have.

Bayern Munich's chances are very clear but in any game it can happen and it's surprising, but my prediction is still Manchester City going to the semifinals.

What about other matches with Inter Milan?
The poor results in Serie A meant that the bettors were very hesitant to pick them for the odds, but this is home turf of course there is motivation for Inter.

I also bet for Madrid in this match but I did decide 0-2 for Madrid I didn't do it but indeed the odds of 12.00 is a pretty big win in this case, congratulations on your win.
Now there is another match which is quite interesting because Manchester City and Bayern are also quite a shame to pass it up actually but indeed this condition is still a little hard to guess but a single bet for Manchester City to come back i have nothing to lose for that Cheesy

In my opinion, the team that lost in leg 1 is difficult to comeback. It's even difficult for Bayer Munich to escape even though later in the second leg there is hope of winning. This year, it seems that UCL is not like last year which was full of surprises in the Knockout round.
It depends on how big the aggregates that already happened during the first leg. If it said above 2 goals and that's gonna be a very difficult thing to do revenge even when a club was playing at home. Bayern has very small chance at this moment and that's true. So many people are skeptical with bayern right now.
It needs a miracle for bayern to make more than three goals against manchester city. Bayern is not as good as before. Mueller has always become the main player for bayern to win against its opponent.
UCL this year is a bit monoton caused by some clubs were facing huge declin on their performance.

This year's UCL is only for teams that are consistent, have a strong mentality and UCL DNA that can win. Such as: Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Inter Milan. Even Man City, which has zero UCL trophies, and doesn't have UCL DNA, has the chance to qualify, judging by their consistency in every match.
Some clubs are still consistent at this moment in UCL especially for real madrid and manchester city. Ac milan is also quite good at this moment. It seems like that to me if the winner between intermilan vs benfica will able to be beaten by ac milan easily.
Im sure about that cuased by intermilan and benfica are under performance this time. It was not a big surprise to see the draw between both of clubs.

Chelsea is in very bad form right now and their defeat is very natural, moreover Real Madrid is a quality team and one of the favorite teams to win the UCL this season, there is no possibility whatsoever for Chelsea, and this is a very reasonable result.

while it's a shame that Napoli had to be eliminated even though they drew 1-1 because in the first leg Napoli lost 1 goal so that Agg ended up being 2-1 for AC Milan's advantage.
Napoli actually played very well, but AC Milan also played very disciplined, especially after they won 1 goal which made them play more comfortable while Napoli were increasingly panicking so many of their attacks were ineffective.
these two teams do not have much difference in quality, and AC Milan deserves to be able to win and qualify for the semi-finals of the UCL this season.
Chelsea in this season they are quite easy to beat even in the Epl a low ranked team can beat them quite easily. Moreover, last night's match Chelsea played quite inconsistently and their opponents were the strongest team in the Champions League. The defeats from the first leg and second leg were very difficult for Chelsea to accept, but that is the fact that they have become a weak team this season.

Real madrid is the strongest candidate and the most consistent team in the Champions league, I think real madrid will again qualify for the final before we say they are the team that will win the champions league this season.
Real Madrid knows very well how they have to play against Chelsea. Carlo Ancelotti realized that Chelsea would be desperately chasing their goal deficit because Chelsea was playing at home. Therefore Real Madrid prefers to wait for the opponent's attack and try to counterattack. Chelsea, who played very aggressively, was frustrated by Real Madrid's solid defense. It was as if they had reached a dead end, while their stamina is getting depleted, and this is what is disastrous for them.
Chelsea are very good at playing football but Real Madrid know very well how to beat Chelsea as they use some advanced techniques. However, Rodrygo scored 2 goals for Real Madrid in today's match and one was assisted by Vinicius Junior and the other by Federico Valverde. the other players also passed the ball very well, but these three players deserve the most credit for today match. Real Madrid is playing very well in almost every match.

The victory that had been predicted long ago for the Real Madrid squad by winning a landslide 0-4 on aggregate after beating Chelsea away from home with a score of 0-2. On the other hand, Milan drew against Napoli with a score of 1-1 which saw Milan qualify with an aggregate advantage.



Here, I bet on a multibet, the first is definitely a bet on Real Madrid's win and I'm very grateful that I didn't bet on Napoli's win, but prefer to bet on the double chance option (Draw/Milan). Even though I used a small amount of money, the results I got were not bad considering the combined odds of the two matches were very large. Smiley

Real Madrid were again the better side against Chelsea but this time at least Chelsea were able to create more goal chances for themselves.

However Chelsea wasted a few critical goal chances also. Kante couldn't find the back of the net two times and they were literally absolute chances. Cucurella also wasted a big chance but Courtois saved his shot very nicely of course. If Kante or Cucurella was able to score one goal while it was still 0-0 then maybe there could have been some hope for Chelsea. But Rodrygo punished them really hard after these incidents. He worked really hard last night by scoring 2 goals. This is a fully deserved win for Real Madrid on aggregate.

I firmly concur that foreseeing how a game will conclude is not at all simple, and I am confident that the game won't go well for Manchester City. Bayern Munich might not be as good as Manchester City right now, but it doesn't surprise me to see them defeating City. Not all matches surprise me again, and Chelsea is a good match to bet on. I read a post that claimed Chelsea needed the advice of the former owner to succeed, but I think that's absurd. I also noticed the players' frustration while they were playing, and they really need to go work on themselves.

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.

....I'm thinking of a draw or under 2.5.
[....] I decided to bet Madrid to win the second leg.
Good call and congrats on winning. I decided on under 2.5 so I'm still good even if I didn't pick RM.

.....

I'm not going to pick a side on Bayern Munich vs Man City. It will probably end in a draw or a team winning by one-goal margin only. I saw a comment about a high scoring game and I agree so betting on over 2.5 should be a "safe" bet but I just don't like the odds at 1.55.

Congratulations to Ac Milan, they're big European Sides, I was overwhelmed by Napoli's great peformance in the league so they clouded my judgment on who wins. Though, Napoli hasn't been playing so badly, I really think they missed Victor Oshime off course Yes!
The absence of Victor Oshime made the attack look weak, with the last game and also with the one against Verona.
Again DNA of Champions League has its support for AC Milan. They do not belong to strongest clubs in Serie A and Champions League but silently they worked hard and with their DNA, they went to semi final in this season. It is more impressive than what a super rich club like PSG achieved in this season.

Osimhen is not ready for the match and he missed some opportunities too even he scored a very late goal for Napoli. I agree that the injury and absence of Osimhen impacted Napoli in general and in both two matches.

Quote
Zlantan Ibrahimovic would be hoping the be part of that final just if all of these high hopes Milan has off saving the trophyless season they'll have comes to reality.
He deserves to lift it one time in his career. Destiny is kidding him some times from Inter Milan to Barcelona and AC Milan and maybe this time, he will have luckiness behind.

The chance is pretty small for bayern to do that. Bayern is also having internal problem that may greatly affect the performance from the club. It's likely that if bayern will not able to perform so well even though it will be playing at home. It's caused by the fact that if bayern is not as good as when it was still being coached by naglesmann. Manchester city will be going all in against bayern. Bayern may not able to make goals against manchester city. Even if bayern was able to do that and that being said if bayern will not able to surpass the aggregates that already owned by manchester city. it's likely that if bayern is doing the same thing like the first leg.

I doubt if bayern will able to change the situation causeed by gap is very big. Manchester city is also having a goal machine that will able to make goal anytime. I would not be surprised to see manchester city to be qualified for semifinal.
Going all in for city is the best decision to be taken by me. gogo city. Let's kick bayern's ass once again.

I was expecting a much better game from Napoli, I was disappointed. Milan played very well, we have to give their due. The wind seemed to be in favor of Napoli when Giroud missed the penalty, but when Giroud scored a goal just before the end of the first half, the morale in Napoli broke down. Yet they tried so hard to return. Kvaratskelia failed to turn the penalty into a goal. If that goal had been scored, Napoli would have had enough time to find the second goal. Osimhen scored a great header but time was up for Napoli. It's necessary to congratulate Milan, they deservedly passed the tour. We can say that the experienced side wins.

It seems to me that this result is not so unexpected. Napoli has been playing quite poorly in recent weeks and their level of play has dropped compared to the beginning of the season. They recently lost to Milan at home even 4:0.
Yesterday, Napoli was slow and ineffective in attack and very bad in defense.
If this match was played a few months ago, Napoli would be the favorite, but they are not playing well right now.
For Milan, this is a great chance to achieve a great result in the Champions League again after almost 20 years and reach the final.

Congratulations to Ac Milan, they're big European Sides, I was overwhelmed by Napoli's great performance in the league so they clouded my judgment on who wins. Though, Napoli hasn't been playing so badly, I really think they missed Victor Oshime off course Yes!

Napoli are not fortunate enough this season in the Champions League. That's a decent sentence in my opinion for Napoli.
Of course with various opportunities that Napoli get including penalty kicks that failed to be as a goal by Kvaratskelia.
Napoli's efforts to increase motivation in defeating AC Milan occurred when Giroud failed to execute a penalty, but the injury to Hirving Lazano had an impact on the Napoli game.

It's necessary to congratulate Milan, they deservedly passed the tour. We can say that the experienced side wins.
Yes. It is necessary for us to congratulate AC Milan as the first Serie A representative to qualify for the semifinals even though there is still one more Serie A team, Inter Milan who has a big chance to qualify.
