This season, Chelsea do not have a very balanced strength against a team like Real Madrid, so it is only natural that yesterday Chelsea lost in the first leg and it is possible that in the second leg they will also lose because Real Madrid is still very focused on the Champions League this season.
Now, Chelsea's chances of advancing to the semifinals are already small despite the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea actually played not too bad.
Take a look when Kante managed to snatch the ball from Modric's feet, Kante didn't hold the ball for long and immediately passed it to Joao Felix who was free-standing, but Felix hesitated to shoot when he was in a one-on-one position with Courtuis.
Not long after, Chelsea immediately conceded through Benzema's feet in the 21st minute using Vinicius' pass.

I think Chelsea's problem lies in attack. Evidenced by the statistics on the number of shoots against Real Madrid.
After Chilwell received a red card penalty, they were clearly having trouble managing the game.

Kante played really good for me in this match and gaved a boost to Chelsea but it wasnt enough. Chelsea has only chance to win something is in champions league and they are too far now. With how bad they are playing i dont see them even drawing the match against Real Madrid.

Even though Chelsea lost, but I can still appreciate Chelsea because Chelsea managed to only lose by 2-0, even though Chelsea also played with only 10 players from the 59th minute. So yes, even though Chelsea lost, but I can't say that it was a bad result too, because considering the situation and conditions experienced by Chelsea at this moment too.

So, it would be pretty good if Chelsea didn't concede more goals but yes, after all Chelsea have no chance of beating Real Madrid in this moment. So, when Chelsea can keep Real Madrid from not scoring too many goals, then I think that's enough for Chelsea.
Actually they are still pretty good, but not because of their condition, just because they haven't lost more than Madrid and that's all I appreciate because I see the previous conditions for Liverpool were a little worse. But when talking a lot about Chelsea for the second leg in this case I can't do anything because they are already decided to lose this competition.

Chelsea is currently in the relegation zone due to the impact of Potter's leadership which was too bad in the past, causing many once a problem that must be resolved by Lampard.

Chelsea are still in the middle of the table at the moment, Potter does have bad leadership. but that didn't take Chelsea very far down the table. Lampard does have a pretty tough job, but Chelsea still has a chance to finish in a better position in the Premier League. while in the Champions League, Chelsea are unfortunate to meet Madrid in the quarter-finals. because that's clearly a difficult opponent for Chelsea to face in the club's current situation. Lampard should just focus on the remaining matches in the Premier League this season.

Regardless of whether there is a red card or not, actually I still feel that it doesn't really have much impact on Madrid, who will definitely win in this match, it's just that this makes Chelsea even more at a loss and they have to get a second goal which makes it even more difficult for them, of course, with an enlarged aggregate.
But on the other hand, I also didn't expect much from Chelsea from the start, so a defeat like this and Madrid being superior in any case seems like a natural thing.
Yes, if we look at it from a performance standpoint, Real Madrid is superior to Chelsea. It is only fitting that Real Madrid win over Chelsea. Plus, on the other hand, Chelsea is currently in the relegation zone due to the impact of Potter's leadership which was too bad in the past, causing many once a problem that must be resolved by Lampard.
In the last three matches Real Madrid has always been able to score 2 goals or more, and Benzema's presence is the main key at Real Madrid because of his quality which is no longer in doubt. It's very reasonable if you say Real Madrid deserved to win the game over Chelsea.
Chelsea played very badly in this match again and I think they were a little lucky because they only lost 2 goals because I think if Real Madrid played more insistently then it is not impossible that there will be more goals scored.
this is a reasonable result because before the game started a lot of people predicted Real Madrid would win, all of that was inseparable from Chelsea's current poor performance.

I watched this match, and it was very boring, Chelsea didn't seem to have a good pattern of play to face a team like Real Madrid, and for their chances in the second leg later I think there is almost none and it is very possible for Chelsea to lose again in the second leg later even though playing at home.

Guilty a charged. Prior to this game, majority of those of us that comment here would jot have imagined or seen AC Milan having any chance at winning but, that was exactly what happened. Napoli wasn't muchnof  challenge for AC Milan as they squarely won the game. We still do think its due to the absence of Osimen but again, Napoli made things worst by getting a red card.

Napoli had 2 decent chances during the added time, it was there best time to get even but, the goalkeeper was rightly placed to get his hands on the ball and sent it flying over the bar. No much goal margin but, the first leg and advantage is done, the second leg is looked forward to.
Yep, we had a glimpse of what AC Milan is capable of after that 4-0 drubbing of Napoli at their own backyard no so long ago. With or without Victor Osimhen, that win was a huge boost to the mentality of AC Milan players.

The Coach said that he didn't want to risk Victor Osimhen in the first leg. I hope the precautionary measure pays off for him. The second leg is going to be mouth watering for sure, and I can't afford to miss it.

Real Madrid is UCL favourite and if you observe their performance this season on the league,they are the strongest. I knew it that Chelsea will not survive in the match last night and I also knew that Real Madrid will easily qualify to the semifinals. Chelsea is in a poor form and will never be able to win Real Madrid in their present form.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid can still be the favorite team for this season, but in La Liga this season, Real Madrid is not the strongest because Real Madrid is having a hard time catching up with Barcelona, who are currently still at the top of the standings. But for other competitions such as the Champions League, I also see that Real Madrid still has the strength and opportunity to enter the semifinals.

Quote
All Chelsea needs right now is to work on the team for next season so that they can get prepared for next season because this season is a big mess to them. They lost out in both EPL and UCL,which is unusual to Chelsea.
Gracias.

But it seems that for the second leg later Osimhen will definitely defend Napoli and that will be an obstacle for Milan to reach the semifinals if in the second leg later Napoli are able to reverse the aggregate advantage with a minimum score of 2-0 at home. What is clear is that I will also be very happy if there will be a Milan city derby in the UCL semi-finals later, it will definitely be very exciting how fans from the adjoining teams support their respective favorite teams.
If Osimhen can play in the second leg, it is very likely that the Napoli team can avenge their defeat and qualify for the next round, especially since they will be playing at home. Osimhen is one of the important players for the Napoli team because in the previous match without Osimhen it seemed that the Napoli players could not finish well towards the AC Milan team's goal even though in that match there were several shots from Napoli players who were on target but unfortunately none of these shots produce results, hopefully Osimhen will play in the second leg meeting later so as not to experience consecutive defeats.

The defect of Chelsea by Madrid was expected going by the challenges that has faced the club this season Chelsea had a good start trying to force their way into the match but Ben Chiwil red card put them in a disadvantageous position and left the struggling blues with a mountain to climb. A score line that would have been worst for Chelsea a match that fully showed how serious and focus Madrid was. I still think with a dogged effort and response laced with focus Chelsea might just be lucky to beat Madrid in the returns leg and move to the next round

Real Madrid's win was very sad as the game became very normal due to the red card of the Chelsea player. And despite having the chance to draw the game, Chelsea went one goal short and Real Madrid went ahead. As a result, if the goal difference is 2-0, Chelsea is bound to lose.
Chelsea in particular had very few attacks and Real Madrid had the ball for most of the match. And as a home ground, Real Madrid's win is a must.

Well this finally really happened because indeed bringing Napoli without Osimhen seems to be very difficult now.
On the other hand for the second half they also have to lose Anguissa in midfield which is clearly going to be another burden for them.
Without Osimhen, Napoli lost half of their attacking power and Kravatskhelia lost his most favorite team-mate. Napoli tried to find an equalizer but Maignan again saved AC Milan and they again won over Napoli just within a few days.

With this win at home and a big win at Naples days ago in Serie A, AC Milan will move to Naples for a second leg with very strong confidence that they will have a first semi final in Champions League after about one decade. Napoli in their side, must pray themselves that Osimhen will be ready for that match. As they will need their best striker to find a win at home and keep up their hope to be one of four clubs in semi finals.
With the current conditions, it's clear that Napoli are in a bit of trouble. Their condition is read in terms of attack when Osimhen is not there. On the other hand, Milan players also play very neatly, especially for their defense.
They were patient with Napoli's onslaught and as you said, Maignan did well and there were some good saves there.

For the second leg they have to hope that Osimhen recovers soon and plays the match because they are missing a good attacking figure in Napoli's attack. But in this case 1 goal can still be for them to comeback, especially the second leg Napoli will play home but with a note they have to play better than this, especially with goal scoring instincts that still have to be improved.

Today I believe to be a good bet on the victory of Real Madrid and Napoli, a multiple gives 4.86 odds.
I also believe in a game with more than 3 or more goals in Real Madrid vs Chelsea, and a match with 1 goal only between Napoli and Milan.

I didn't do very well in my predictions yesterday.
I got the Real Madrid win and the number of goals between the Napoli vs Milan match right.
But I got the number of Real Madrid goals wrong, and I got the winner of the match wrong, I had thought Napoli would win.

Since it was a multiple, I lost the bet, since I bet only on victory.

From the results of the games so far, I still believe in the classification of Napoli, it would be the only one that would reverse the score.
I believe that Real Madrid, M. City and Inter are already practically guaranteed in the next phase, they got very good results. Even though it is Champions League and anything can happen.

Unfortunately we won't see Real Madrid vs Manchester City in the final due to the draw, but it would be a very interesting final to watch.

But one game at a time, until next week guys

The two champions league matches last night were quite exciting, even though we already know who will win in Real Madrid's match against Chelsea. Throughout the game Real Madrid dominated and it was clear how Chelsea was overwhelmed by attacks from Real Madrid. The first half goals were scored by Benzema who took advantage of an assist from Vini and the second half goals were scored by Asensio who came on as a Supersub. Perhaps the thing that was quite detrimental was the red card received by Chilwell, he had to commit a foul on Rodyrgo who ran free when receiving a pass from a Real Madrid player in the match.

Milan's other game against Napoli also had to end in a loss, after Anguissa received a second yellow card that made him go off in the 74th minute. Milan's goal scored in the first half by Bennacer made the only goal in this match and sealed the win for Milan in San siro. It is clear that after the defeat of these two Napoli in both the domestic league and UCL, Napoli is so dependent on Osimhen and it is very difficult to score goals.

you are right, Napoli is totally dependent on their strongest striker osimhen, I think however Milan is better equipped for the Champions league than Napoli, even if both teams are not used to playing in the final stages of the most prestigious cup I believe that even in the return we will see a fierce Milan and will aim to go through and wait for Inter in the semifinals to make the Euro derby.
But it seems that for the second leg later Osimhen will definitely defend Napoli and that will be an obstacle for Milan to reach the semifinals if in the second leg later Napoli are able to reverse the aggregate advantage with a minimum score of 2-0 at home. What is clear is that I will also be very happy if there will be a Milan city derby in the UCL semi-finals later, it will definitely be very exciting how fans from the adjoining teams support their respective favorite teams.

Chelsea gave it their all in the match, but it wasn't enough to earn them a victory over Real Madrid. When playing against a team like Madrid, you don't want them to get too comfortable with the ball and have a lot of possession; if they do, they can easily break through your defense and win..

Chelsea will try their best to do a come back in the second leg of the game but that won’t be easy for them even though they’ll be playing in Stamford Bridge in the second leg. Most champions league games by Madrid in the knockout stage does not necessarily give them disadvantage even when they play outside their stadium. They could still get a win at Stamford Bridge again.

Now what to say about Chelsea? because of the fact that they really can't be relied on as a team this season. I'm not surprised by this result, because from the start Chelsea was not favored and it was only hope for them to make a surprise in the match. An aggregate of 2 goals is difficult for them in the second leg later. But like what they did with Borussia Dortmund, so I still give them a bit of hope.
The problem is if we should realize that dortmund was not real madrid. Most bundesliga clubs have inconsistent performance. Real madrid is always consistently playing so well in any season of UCL. That being said that if real madrid is the strongest candidate to win UCL again this year. You shall put differentiate between dortmund and real madrid. Chelsea is still having a chance but it's even smaller caused by it was facing king of UCL. Real madrid has a very good mentality and it doesn't even matter where the team will be playing in the future. Away or home, real madrid is always having a solution to beat its opponent. Remember that last year chelsea was losing against real madrid.
This time real madrid will able to beat chelsea for the second time in a row.

It's a shame for lampard who has become a manager for chelsea. This club has the worst attacking line in EPL. Don't you aware of that? chelsea has made zero goals under three coaches. That being said that if the performance of the club is terrible.
I'm very upset to see the gameplay of chelsea. Real madrid may able to dominate the second leg in stamford bridge. King of comeback, it's another name of real madrid.
I was already convinced that Real Madrid would beat Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In fact, since the beginning of the league, Real Madrid has been going great, in that context, Vinicius Jr.'s extraordinary performance ensured Real's victory.

unfortunately Milan only managed to lead by 1 goal. even after 1 Napoli player was sent off. there are indications that Milan is also not playing well now. even when they are playing at home.
AC Milan are not at their best, but they remain one of the teams that have been able to beat Napoli who we know are having their best year this season  in their Local League and in the Champions League. The results may not be different when AC Milan visit Napoli to play the return leg. AC Milan already have a working strategy to play Napoli and so far it has earned them two victories.

Lampard has given his best for Chelsea's players, I don't know what all these bad things are, for sure Lampard has to be tougher on his players.
Lampard even seems clueless how to put this team together, they lack goal scorers, in their game against Real Madrid, Haverts could have been in the starting and not Sterling.

I was pretty irritated reading the comments of the head coach of Napoli, how can he say they're a better side without Victor Oshime?! Oshime has been the best of the best this season for Napoli, definitely he's absence has already been felteand witnessed.
Ac Milan has got work to do at the Diego Maradona Stadium next week, when they had th chance they should have made it two to three goals at home.

I don't even think Frank Lampard is in charge of that selection yesterday, it's Todd Boehly doing all that underground. Abrahimovich selling Chelsea has got to be one of the wrongs that need be righted.

Napoli actually had a much bigger potential against Milan last night indeed. But the absence of one player can really affect the team deeply which was just the thing we saw last night.

There wasn't anyone else to fill Osimhen's place in this match. Napoli had so many goal opportunities but wasted all of them easily. I even remember an incident in the first minute of the match already. Napoli couldn't score while the goalkeeper wasn't in a good position to save that. Milan defenders did a good job there. Other than this Napoli really tried but still there was no good result. Milan were able to become effective only thanks to counter-attacks which was how they scored their goal also. Anguissa was also disappointing for his team as he got two yellow cards by a four-minute interval.
