Napoli without the osimhen & Kvaratskhelia duo playing full time un the recent matches since 19 march were really bad downturn ... in the last 4 matches they are losing it two times draw once and win it for one time only after the whole season they are nearly become invincible .

Osimhen absence really make a huge impact , this time he is ready to play 90 minutes in a crucial match against ac milan who leading 1 - 0 at the frist leg of UCL , i bet napoli will still fail.

Personally I think the second leg is really unpredictable. Napoli will certainly play Osimhen from the first half, it will definitely increase their strength in attack. While the two teams have comparable chances even if Milan lead the first leg with a victory. I would not fully think Napoli will fail, but I tend to think Milan can advance to the next round this season.

Anyone can still qualify from this quarter-final stage, but perhaps what is less interesting is that we will again see two Serie A teams likely to batlle in the semi-finals. Inter is very likely to qualify, so one between Napoli and Milan will meet Inter in the semi-finals.

About the rematch between Napoli and Milan I feel very positive for Napoli this time. It was the same for the first leg as well by the way but Napoli couldn't become very effective due to lacking Osimhen's finishing skills. But they were still able to create so many goal opportunities. They at least prevented a bigger loss while they were wasting so many chances. But this time things must be more different. I have started to believe in Napoli's advancing to the next stage more than ever thanks to Osimhen's returnal.

I'm just indecisive about if they can eliminate Milan in regular time. It depends on the resistance level of Milan defense actually. But defending hasn't been the best thing they do in this season so we never know. If they can't keep full concentration on the match then Napoli have the power to make use of it.

Osimhen's return is a threat to Milan. Of course this has to be true, considering that so far this season Osimhen is one of the most productive strikers in Serie A. Napoli have lost 2 defeats to Milan during Osimhen's absence, so in the second leg Milan will really feel the threat of the striker. .

But after all, Osimhen is not the savior who is always able to make Napoli win. The second leg is so important for both teams, Milan will definitely fight for a ticket to the semi-finals this season regardless of who is the favorite in the second leg. Napoli will obviously be the favourites, but Milan has an advantage that must be maintained.

Despite a narrow aggregate lead for Milan, that won't keep them safe for 90 minutes and things like a lot of goals can still happen. Therefore if Milan want to get rid of Napoli in the QF round then they have to carry out a total attack without any doubts.

On the other hand, Napoli benefited greatly because as the host and the return of the Napoli duo this season Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia made Napoli even more confident in being able to get rid of Milan by surpassing the number of aggregate points. Maybe I won't see extra time in this game or penalty shootouts because 90 minutes is enough time for Napoli to destroy Milan's hopes.

There are still many opportunities that Napoli can take good advantage of. This thin speed should be able to motivate the Napoli players to launch a full attack in Leg 2. Not only Milan will do this, but Napoli is the most anticipated candidate to reach the final. With the opportunity to play in Leg 2, of course the final result will be difficult to predict because both clubs will do their best. Milan may not have been ideal in the league but this time they want to revive their history after a long absence.

I'm not so sure Napoli will win, although I also think Napoli are favourites to win this game... But the last two meetings have been for Milan, with one of the games being won 0-4 away... This is complicated by the fact that they are clubs from the same league who know each other very well. I guess it all depends on the tactics the coach chooses... Whoever has the better strategy will win...

Bayern Munich will never be able to beat Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Because Manchester City is leading 3-0 in the first leg, Bayern Munich must win at least 4-0 in the second leg. Which I think Bayern Munich will never do.

This season Manchester City is different from a few seasons ago in the Champions League. Not because of the results in the 1st leg, but overall they are better than Bayern Munich who are having some internal problems.
In our opinion, the situation had an impact on their performance.

Last season, Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga, 8 points difference with Dortmund, who are their competitors.
This season Bayern Munich in 28 new games have collected 59 points. The difference with Dortmund is only 2.

Based on the results of leg 1, Manchester City will be difficult to stop because 3 goals without reply can only happen if there is a miracle so that the game can go to extra time.

right now Bayern's performance is very bad in the bundesliga especially when they have to face Manchester city. I really can't think of how they can turn this situation around in the second leg later, and in my opinion it's almost impossible even though Bayern will be playing at home.

Manchester City ensure that they made good use of their advantage at home to give themselves a very good lead, If Bayern will win Manchester city to qualify to the next round, they will need to put pressure on them from the starting of the game to the end and ensure that they play overall better than Manchester City. This is a very difficult thing for any team to currently do against Manchester City with how good they are. Even if you dominate the first half, they will play better in the second half. Bayern have a chance, but it is a very little one.

Manchester City is in another level of game coordination and team understanding. After watching the English Premier League match between Manchester City and Leicester City. I understood that Manchester City is very much out to win the Champions League of this season. The only club that is able to stop Manchester City is Real Madrid. Manchester City squad cohesion is very strong and the bonding between Kelvin and Haaland is very strong with that linkage. And either of them not having injuries Manchester City is sure of getting to the final of the Champions League.

For the return leg with Bayern, I did not see the opportunity of Bayern Munich to win Manchester City amidst the understanding between Mane and Sane and the rest of the team.

Milan lost their opportunity of qualifying to the next stage after the won Napoli 1-0. They were suppose to use the absence of Oshimen as an advantage for them to score more goals just like what they did in their domestic league against Napoli that they won 4-0. Milan 1-0 victory in the first leg is not enough for them to qualify.

As long as Oshimen will play in the second leg,definitely Napoli will win the game. We saw how they missed good opportunities of scoring which was impossible due to the lack of a good striker. Now that their hit man is back,so many opportunities will not be wasted,he will convert them to goals. Milan struggled on the first leg to secure their victory,Napoli needs to win from 2 goals up,for them to qualify to the semifinals because I don't think Milan will be able to score any goal in that match.

Basically, Bayern Munich has no chance of turning things around, because beating Manchester City with a big score is a very difficult task. Also, even though for example Bayern Munich can beat Manchester City, then of course the victory that Bayern Munich gets may only be with a low score like 1-0 or 2-1.

So yes, for me personally Bayern Munich has no chance of qualifying, because Manchester City still has a very good squad and of course Haaland's sharpness will mean that Manchester City will still be able to score goals. Therefore, I personally have no doubt that Manchester City will not lose in this second leg, but a draw is still possible and that means Manchester City will still qualify for the semifinals.

I agree with you. Bayern Munich will never be able to beat Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Because Manchester City is leading 3-0 in the first leg, Bayern Munich must win at least 4-0 in the second leg. Which I think Bayern Munich will never do.

I wasn't expecting such thing like winning both of the games from Inter. Because Benfica have technically been doing much better than Inter this season in general.

Benfica are getting closer to the Liga Portugal title every week. They lost their last two games which led to Porto's decreasing the point difference to 4 points though. But still there are six weeks remaining and Benfica are the closest team to make it. Their Champions League performance has also been impressive in general. Their group stage performance against PSG was also great. When I thought of all of this I waited for them to play solid against Inter. But there was just a loss by 2-0 at the end. I don't think they can make a comeback from this situation.

I was even very surprised by the results. because I also predict that Benfica is a strong team that can trouble Inter Milan. because even Inter Milan is in an inconsistent condition in Serie A. And it's different from Benfica who continues to show good performance in every match in the Portuguese league. But it seems that Inter Milan's experience in the Champion's league is much better. so Inter Milan's mentality is far above Benfica. but in the second leg I think Benfica could make a surprise.

Osimhen is a very important player for Napoli. With his recovery from his injury, it is hoped that Osimhen will perform well with his team when playing against AC Milan. so, it's only natural that Napoli is the favorite to win the second leg later over AC Milan. after all, this match will be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, headquarters of Napoli. lagging behind on aggregate 1-0, making Napoli have to play it all out to turn things around and win the match. I'm sure Napoli will be more in control of the game. it's just that, AC Milan will not let Napoli win the fight so easily.

Moreover, Milan has won the aggregate in the first leg, plus has the motivation to overthrow Napoli for the third time this season. so, it was not an easy matter for Luciano Spalleti's team to win the battle. in fact, the Milan coach only needed a draw to qualify for the next round phase. Well, let's just wait because this fight will be held in the next two days.

Benfica lost at their home stadium which is so bad for them. Losing at home with two goals is a super bad result which is not good for them in a second leg at Giuseppe Meazza stadium. Inter Milan did not have good form in Serie A but with this great advantage from a first leg, they will be able to secure it and go to semi finals. Inter Milan will meet either Napoli or AC Milan in semi finals.

I think it was expected to begin with. I mean think about it, we are talking about Benfica vs Inter, and in any other normal circumstance we would guess that Benfica would lose both games and that is what would be expected from Inter to do.

However, this year Inter did a bit bad during the league so everyone is guessing that Benfica could have taken advantage of that and would have gotten a good result, even if they are going to lose at least lose at away game and win at home so they would not go further but get one game, or even a draw at least. I think Inter may have been bad during the league, but they are still big enough of a club that they know the importance of UCL and even if you lose at semi finals or finals, being there means a lot of money.

All possibilities can still happen in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich has the ability to make a comeback, but the opponent they are facing is too tough who is in his best form.
Bayern Munich have yet to completely merge with Tuchel's style, the defeat in the first leg means they are not ready for the quarter-finals. City will maintain the advantage in order to maintain the chances of survival in the UCL, Guardiola will make a surprise in front of the Munich fans.

But it's true that Tuchel's adaptation is not very good. Tuchel didn't start well. At the weekend against Hoffenheim they only draw. Fortunately, Dortmund also draw, otherwise they will shift to second place. For UCL of course they have a chance, but the three-goal gap is not small. It's difficult but I think there's still a chance of qualifying, Tuchel shouldn't repeat the mistakes in the first leg. Tuchel must shut down Haaland and De Brunye.

I would dare to place a bet on Man City in Leg 2, not just a 3 point advantage from Leg 1, but seeing that Man City's current performance is quite convincing and Bayern Munich's chances are getting slimmer. Moreover, the problems faced by the Bayern Munich team disrupted its stability. Even though playing at the Bayern Munich headquarters, even that will not make Pep Guardiola and his squad isolated. Meanwhile, Man City is in top form and has shown a bond between its players.

Im feeling so good with performance of manchester city in the first leg. Tuchel has been making bayern to go down again to the ground after it was having an excellent result in UCL with a perfect win rate. It doesn't matter a lot of manchester city will be playing away. The result will always be the same if city gonna win the match against bayern. The came of tuchel was not changing anything in the club. Tuchel was making it even worse from day to another day. It's a good result that is already expected by the club itself Cheesy

.

Im still confusin to what kind of setup that will be used by tuchel against the perfect team of guardiola right now. I kinda feelt hat if de ligt will be trying so hard to protect haaland.
I waill say bye for bayern right now. Manchester city holds more than 85% probability to win the match.

The season is going to its last several weeks and taking titles or end the season with nothing will depend on coming weeks. Looks like Manchester City have good chance to win Premier League after Arsenal suddenly got a draw yesterday.

In Champions League, it is too soon to say about the title. They will have to meet another big club in semi final before we can discuss about Manchester City chance in a final match.

Manchester city is favourite for the champions league title, they will get to the finals. I don't see any team stopping them than Real Madrid. Next week they will play Bayern Munich in the second leg. Then for the premier league title, Manchester city will clinch the title from Arsenal, Arsenal has dropped unnecessary points recently. Manchester city will win. Double this season if they I winning games.

There are teams that destroy the dreams of the great teams that apparently have a "clear" path and these two are Bayer Munich and RM, these two teams are perhaps the two best to do it.

So, I think that beating one of these two teams is feasible, but Arsenal remains other obstacles... it seems that MCI has a lot to lose and not the opposite.
