Chelsea should just enjoy the moment tonight and nothing more. Gone are times we had a Chelsea with a come-back possibility based on performance. Everyone has their moment and this is a moment for the unstoppable two Benzema and Vinicius Jnr, not even the Chelsea defense is capable of stopping them tonight.
More so, looking at Chelsea's formation tonight it doesn't look like a team that is here to win tonight

I have the same thought. Several times Real Madrid failed to play well in the first leg, but they often made surprises in the second leg. So even though they will be playing as guests this time, I think Real Madrid still has a big chance to win this match. It is clear that the crowd will be Chelsea's advantage because they are playing at home, but Real Madrid has a winning mentality that Chelsea doesn't currently have.

Well I hope Napoli will win in this second leg match. Even though there is still a bit of doubt left, Osimhen should be on the field to motivate the Napoli players to be better. But Milan must also have prepared for today. so this fight will definitely be fierce. My prediction is 3-1 for Napoli's victory.

and my prediction for the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match is 2-1 in favor of Real Madrid. I hope Chelsea in the match this time can entertain us more with a better performance.

Come on, even Manchester City also had to be hit by a comeback last season.
Now talking about Chelsea and Madrid, this is clearly an advantage for Madrid because Chelsea's problems are still quite complex, with their condition that there are still many gaps in every line.
Their defense line still has some gaps between players, on the other hand their attack line is currently also in a bad condition even though it is filled with great young players.

Games of the day

Prediction,

Real and Napoli will pass.

Chelsea's condition is currently in a slump, it is very difficult for them to turn things around when serving Real Madrid at Stanford Bridge. Madrid are very comfortable with a 2-0 lead and of course they won't give the hosts space to terrorize them either. My prediction is that the Whites will continue to play seriously in the 2nd leg, it is likely that they will be able to win again with a big score.

With Chelsea's condition getting worse at the hands of Lampard, it is not impossible that the Blues management will fire the former player and top scorer of all time again. The results of the match later might be the last game for him if he suffered another defeat.

Chelsea has nothing to play for in this game. I've seen the lineup and every hope of us coming back or having a good game at home has gone away; I'm not sure how long Lampard will keep experimenting with the lineup; the team will not go anywhere with heavy rotation each game; why can't the team stick to a good lineup and let the players build chemistry among themselves; you can't keep rotating players and expect the team to play as a team. The season is already over, and the owners will be held accountable; they took over a champions league-winning squad and sunk it with foolish decisions and poor player scouting.


Real Madrid will have a lot of fun with chelsea today no doubt, the team is in a horrible form and the expectations  are low on chelsea side.


Chelsea are simply horrible; this Madrid squad is not as good as it appears on paper; as bad as Chelsea were in the first game, they still had more scoring chances than Madrid but were not as clinical. A complete team like Man City can easily sink this Madrid.

Confirmation of the line up for the Napoli vs Milan match is available and we can see that there are the names Osimhen and also Kvaratskhelia who fill in the Napoli line up this time. The return of these two players is very important for Napoli to beat milan at home as well as overturn the aggregate advantage currently held by Milan. On the other hand, Milan is still with its main squad which will also compete for this second leg, we can see that Rafael Leao and Brahim Diaz will be the axis of attack from Milan's flanks.

I think the two teams will attack each other from the early minutes and especially for Napoli, they will definitely fight very hard to be able to secure a ticket to the semifinals of the champions league. My prediction is that although it is a bit hard for Napoli because in several previous matches they also lost against Milan, a score of 2-0 was enough for Napoli to get rid of Milan.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
