Honestly, I personally thought that Napoli would win the match very well. But the Milan team is suddenly able to produce extraordinary performances. From that point of view, Napoli tried very hard to win or draw the match. But the Milan team's defense lineup has shown extraordinary skill.

Before this season i always be underestimate Napoli to win champion league because just like i said before Napoli is always be underdog status because in the last several season they even cannot able reach to quarterfinal before and indeed Napoli highest achievement is came this season that they were always be performing well in every competitions and one thing for sure their journey until quarterfinal were very easy compared to other teams because since group stage until quarterfinal Napoli always be gets the weaker opponents than him

And if i am not mistaken the winner between Napoli vs Milan will be faced the winner Inter vs Benfica and if scheme is true then probably Napoli chances to advance to the final match is quite high because they can be avoiding strong teams such as Bayern or Real Madrid on semifinal match and this time probably they will fight for the title in the final match and they have good possibilities to get their first trophy in this competition

bayern have a mountain to climb having lost to city in the champion league, they were right in the tie until the 70th minute and now needs least 3goals

I strongly believe in Napoli's victory in this second match.

Napoli certainly deserved a much better result, but this is the Champions League, the most difficult competition in the world, where every mistake pays dearly.
The fact is that Napoli played without their best striker, but now they have a very difficult rematch against Milan, and I would say that now Milan has a slightly better chance of reaching the semifinals of the competition.
Benfica disappointed me a lot in the first game against Inter, I expected much more from them.
Of course, there is always a chance in football, but honestly, if Inter in return plays at a high level again, Benfica will have no chance of winning.

Just like me, even after the defeat in Serie A, I still think Napoli will win in the Champions League. The defeat in the league maybe part of Napoli's preparation for the UCL or because their position has been secure in the league make Napoli tend to play more relaxed.  The reality is that the defeat continue when the two met again in the CL quarter-finals
I hope Napoli make corrections after this defeat and will play even better in the second leg

Chelsea is having a very bad season at the moment, as Chelsea's condition this season is truly beyond expectations. No matter how much they try, they buy several players, spend money, and also attract a new coach who they think is appropriate and can bring Chelsea well, but apparently not easy as that. Chelsea have not been able to raise their performance very well. lucky they passed the UCL to this quarter-final round. But they still lost in the first leg to Real Madrid. Chelsea really need a big overhaul next season so that their name can go up and be strong again both in the Premier League and in the UCL or other leagues.

Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked because of his poor performance but instead sacked because of the disagreement he was having with the then new owners of Chelsea in regards to the transfer window. If you remember correctly, Todd Boehly was highly interested in Cristiano Ronaldo due to the benefits of having a star player in the squad but Thomas Tuchel had other plans and I think this was were their issue started from. Also if you remember, Todd Boehly take over came with sacking other personals that was in Abramovich administration so Thomas Tuchel had to go. When he was sacked, their where statement form football journalist that the sacking had nothing to do with the bad form the team was on but other factors like what I have said above contributed.

I'm not a big fan of Frank Lampard as a coach but I believe he'll become a great coach someday, he just needs to relax and go back to learning because just been a good player and a club legend doesn't mean that you'll automatically become a great coach. Frank Lampard isn't ready to become a top coach yet, he needs to go back to manage teams in the championshilp as Vincent company has done then promote that team to the premier league and that's how his path to the premier league would had gone and he'll gather enough experience that way to lead teams to success in the premier league.

However, in the match against Verona this time in Serie A, Napoli still couldn't score a goal and the score was still 0-0 until the 80th minute. So, is this a sign that Napoli's performance has decreased or maybe Napoli can still get up in the second leg later. Because on paper Napoli still has a chance to beat Milan in the second leg later, but if this bad result continues, then we will get the result of Napoli being eliminated by Milan.

Also regarding Benfica, I personally still predict that Benfica still has a chance to turn things around. But yes, if Benfica has difficulties and bad luck, then this season we will get Italian teams who are not seeded to reach the semifinals like Milan against Inter, maybe.

IMO, Napoli rely too much on Osimhen as a goal machine for them. when Osimhen was absent due to injury, Napoli found it difficult to win his matches, both in the Domestic league or when they traveled to San Siro, Milan's headquarters in the Champions League competition. In the first leg, I said that Milan would win the game and it did. apart from playing at their own headquarters, Milan benefited from Napoli's position which was not strengthened by their star players. which in the end, Napoli struggled to break into Milan's goal. as a result, Milan won the fight..

The aggregate advantage in the first leg has made Milan even more confident to play the second leg later at home to Napoli. But indeed, the absence of Osimhen in several Napoli matches made it very difficult for them to beat Milan.

If we look at Napoli's domestic league match today they benched Kvaratskhelia, surely Spalletti wants to rest him before the match against milan in the second leg starts next week. It seems that in the second leg later we will also be presented with a duet from Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, which is likely he (Osimhen) has recovered from injury right in that match.

This 1-0 defeat must be a huge disappointment for Napoli. You can look at it in different ways of course. Napoli had a great chance within 2 minutes. And in the first 20 minutes they should have scored at least 2-3 goals. If you don't, you're bringing the trouble on yourself. But if Napoli reach their level as they can play, then we get to see a nice game in Naples. I wouldn't dare say who the favorite is now after the first game. AC Milan was very good in the league match against Napoli when they won 0-4. Would Benfica have no chance at all in Milan at Inter?
