@BRINIRHA, Do you know that Real Madrid is a team which comes back in the second leg and wins difficult matches in nearly impossible situations? Real Madrid has done that multiple times.

So it is really hard to believe that Chelsea, which is not in a good situation right now, it will actually score 2 goals, which they are in the deficit, and win by scoring more. That is certainly not going to happen, right? At least I don’t believe that. The struggles of Chelsea are absolutely real right now. And Real Madrid is certainly going to take advantage of that.

For the Chelsea players to gain confidence and momentum in the Premier League and Champions League, they require a highly renowned coach to start up with them asap. It's as though the Chelsea players don't believe in themselves anymore. They all act as if they are hesitant to vigorously defend themselves and counterattack their opponent. All of this appears to occur by the next season when they will be able to hire a qualified coach who will work with them and restore their confidence on the field.
With Lampard serving as their interim coach this season, I don't believe they will be able to advance to the Europa League next year.

Chelsea I think are 80% out of this season's UEFA Champions League competition and surely they're not gonna play in the tournament next season as well. Real Madrid should've even had a better result than the one they got yesterday because they were playing a Chelsea team that had no football style they were playing with.
Frank Lampard I know wouldn't do anything beter than he has done because he lacks the tactical know how to change the playing pattern of Chelsea. At even at Stamford Bridge next week, Madrid are still gonna defeat Chelsea in their own turf

I give a very small chance for Bayern Munich to surprise everyone by making a comeback from this bad situation for themselves. Because Manchester City seem very determined to make it to the title this season and this 3-0 advantage should be very helpful for them to qualify for the semi-finals as well. As long as they keep the same discipline in their game then there shouldn't be any problem.

PSG could have done the same to Bayern Munich already before but they couldn't. Because Galtier's system is just not working very well for them.

Man city performance in the playoffs was really impressive they destroyed two german teams with big scores and it seems that they are determined to win the champions league this season, they will likely face real madrid one of the champions league experts but am not sure even they can beat them this time.

It will be a tough tie to turn by Bayern Munich considering how they play last time out but I won’t rule out that possibility. This Bayern team actually had more possession than the City team something that rarely happens against a Pep team and that is like a way out for them. Keep the ball and frustrate city defensively they don’t really know how to defend much and a goal might come on. Get two in the first half. Pep could actually go in for a lots of rotation with players like Debruyne sitting it out and should he do this I think Bayern could have a less problem on their hands. The last thing could actually be how Tuchel set out is team because just as you have mentioned should he set this team like the last time he will get a whopping. I will prefer him to play a 3 at the back. Upamecano Deligt and Pavard. Then have Both Cancelo and Davies as full backs to help both midfield and defense. Choupo moting should be starting ahead of Gnabry because he possesses an aerial advantage than Gnabry.

Don't compare Dortmund and Real Madrid. Real Madrid has a better squad and they are more experienced to win UCL matches. While Dortmund sometimes surprised us with good performance but sometimes with bad performance. Its performance is not quite stable in UCL competition. Also, Chelsea may choose the right tactic when they played against Dortmund. But in the match against Real Madrid, they are difficult to find a proper tactic because Real Madrid knows well how to deal with Chelsea players. Moreover, Ben Chilwell got a red card in minute 59', Chelsea has no idea to play offensively because they lost 1 player and they must decide to play defensively.

Bayern Munich's chances of qualifying for the semifinals are very low, and I didn't expect it to become so real.
Manchester City seem all too ready to win the Champions League title this season but of course they need to be highly motivated and confident to do it without mistakes. The problem is that Manchester City could do very well with Real Madrid in the semi-finals if both of them qualify, and that is another big challenge for them to overcome.

Yeah, they need 3 goals, not even to win the game, but to level the scoreline and prolly take the game to extra time, City have to completely go to sleep for that to happen, and that's not something that happens quite often. City are known for scoring quite a lot of goals, and it is difficult to outscore them, even more by a large margin. The odds are completely in City's favor, if Bayern come into that game all flying forward looking for goals, it leaves gaps in their defense, and City are good at exploiting such, if Bayern are patient to wait for their time, City would be content with that as they already have a huge lead, i cannot see a way back for Bayern Munich.

If I should speculate the result of the second leg between Real Madrid and Chelsea I will say it will be more exciting and the goals will be multiple compared to their last match yesterday where Real Madrid managed to win against Chelsea with just one goal to none.

But the second leg of their meeting will be a completion of what real Madrid already started in the first leg and since we know how weak and crisis-ridden Chelsea has been for a while now with the multiple changes of coach it is evident that Chelsea lacks the motivation to match up to Real Madrid pressure.

Munich does not have the cards to do so. even if they killed Haaland, it wouldn't be enough. Man City is one of the most fertile teams in Europe. they have a very dangerous front line. while Munich has not been so stable in their game this season. even though they struggled to adapt at the start of the season. and it bothers the squad to win.
we can't say Bayern missed the chance. even though it is difficult, even with a small possibility Bayern still has a chance and a miracle. even if it is to force Man City to extra time.

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

The advantage of 2 goals will certainly help Real Madrid secure a ticket to the semifinals this season. I sure hope Real Madrid can also win the second leg at Stamford Bridge, too good to hope given Chelsea's not-so-good form. We really made it difficult for Chelsea to find a goal in the first leg, and I'm sure we can do that once again in the second leg as well.

I'm starting to expect Manchester City to be a worthy opponent for the semi-final against Real Madrid. Manchester City is certainly very likely to secure a semi-final ticket too after winning 3 goals against Bayern, so I hope it's really a great match.

I think it is over for Bayern Munich in this tournament this season. They should have performed better against Manchester City in the second half. They were really weak at defending and Manchester City were one of the best teams to benefit from this golden opportunity. Manchester City have the most effective attacking line among the teams left here now. Haaland did his trick again and literally carried the team to a 3-0 victory.

His contribution with a goal and an assist both was really worth watching for me. He has already been a goal machine since the beginning of the season. Bayern Munich must have been aware of this danger already but they still couldn't prevent this. Actually Haaland wasn't effective in the first half but they couldn't stop him in the other one. Even if Manchester City don't win in Allianz Arena they should still be advancing comfortably with the help of this score advantage.

Well, regardless of what the conditions of Chelsea and Madrid will not change now because you can see from Chelsea's current condition they are like leaving this competition even though the second leg has not been played yet.
They still have a lot of gaps on every front. even though the midfield and wings are still quite good but their finishing is also bad. Now I think the aggregate advantage of 2 goals will actually increase for the second leg later even though they will be playing at Stampord Bridge.

Chelsea are far from their legendary years. They're having a really bad season in the league. On the other hand, Real Madrid are also having a bad season in the league, but no matter how bad they are, they take on a completely different identity when they play in the champions league game. That's why I always respect them in this trophy. Also, it was good to see Kante back on the field in this match. He was one of Chelsea's best players. In this match, he both shouldered the defense burden of the team and became a key player in the team's attacks

Real Madrid will certainly play more comfortably in the second leg later. And vice versa Chelsea will have a more difficult match in the second leg. because Chelsea had to catch up with 2 goals in the first leg. and I think we could have said earlier that Real Madrid were one step ahead to qualify for the semi-finals. because even a draw in the second leg also led Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals. I don't see any surprises in the second leg later. but Chelsea's performance in the first leg yesterday was also not too bad. joao felix and the Chelsea forward did quite well. but yeah, Chelsea struggled to get out of the pressure that Real Madrid continued to build throughout the match.

They are not in a good situation this season in Chelsea which is a good reason to say Real Madrid can easily win this game against Chelsea but just a few weeks ago when Chelsea was performing badly in the premier league they beat Drttmound while I was thinking Dround can easily win that game against Chelsea, but this time Real Madrid scored two goals in the first leg which can help them a lot pass this stage.

We have to stop talking about Thomas Tuchel, he's now history or isn't he the same Thomas Tuchel that's bottling his job at Bayern Munich. Tuchel success at Chelsea didn't have everything to do with his coaching skills instead the players were determined to win and they won games. If Thomas Tuchel was that good as we're all saying, why hasn't he replicated same wins with Bayern Munich or won the champion league with other top clubs that he has managed. Let take Real Madrid as an example, it doesn't matter which coach is present but they'll always do well in the champions league because it's a culture on the club.

As for the game against Real Madrid, it was a disappointing loss and I'm still surprised we could play that badly against Real Madrid and I put all the blame on Frank Lampard. His selections were all wrong, we could have sealed the fate of that game in the first few minutes of the game as we were having chances after chances but didn't have anyone that could score in the team. The team lacked a striker and Chelsea need to resolved this crises by signing someone that'll be winning to play even though we don't get champions league football next season. I think if Kai Havertz would had started that game, we would had gotten something from that game. I haven't lost hope though, 2:0 isn't that hard of a result to comeback from to progress.

It would be better if something like that happened, especially by looking at their condition in the last few matches for the EPL it would still be a little tough because there are still some big opponents to face.
On the other hand, the Champions League is actually focused or not with an aggregate of 2 goals at the moment and with Chelsea's current condition it is clear that this will be very difficult considering they are also still very bad for their attack line even if we see them from the last few matches that have been carried out even in 4 matches (EPL and Champions League yesterday) They haven't scored a goal since the draw against Everton in mid-March.
