Both teams had chances but AC Milan did it better with one goal. I don't think AC Milan played far better than Napoli in the match and they will get big challenge in a second leg. First they will have to play in Naples and second they will have to face with Napoli with Osimhen.

With Osimhen, Kravatskhelia will be more dangerous too and the combination of these attacking players will put AC Milan under more pressure. It will be a big test for AC Milan defense if they want to have semi final matches.

Napoli played well, but they clearly lacked sharpness in the front line, the absence of Osimhen and Semione was very noticeable. I don't know if they will be back in the game for the next match, I haven't seen any information about it yet, but I hope that they can be in the squad, because for Napoli they are very important players, especially Osimhen. I don’t know if Milan will have enough advantage that he received in the first match.
At least the information circulating is that Osimhen only suffered minor injuries and will recover soon. but indeed there is no certainty whether in the second leg later Osimhen will recover and enter to play. but of course I hope Osimhen can play in the second leg. because I want to see a full-strength game for both teams. because if Milan can win but when Napoli doesn't have Osimhen on the field then I feel that Milan's achievements are not very satisfying. and even in the first leg we can see Napoli starting to adapt without Osimhen. but yeah like you said their front line is really weak without Osimhen.

Todd Boehly is one of the Major setback happening in the club, the club needs an experience coach and also good experience players that have the qualities to pull down their opponents. Chelsea really need to build their club because it's in total mess right now, Frank Lampard is yet to record a win in his two games. The fans are not happy with the condition of the club, they need to start winning games and be consistent at that. UCL is a top league in football and elite clubs always display their best on the pitch, there's no room for relenting efforts.

I see Chelsea's management not being careful enough to manage the team well. They are unable to see what needs the team currently needs. Since being taken over by Boehly, Chelsea's step back has begun to appear. Tuchel's dismissal was an initial disaster for the Blues then without thinking and sharp analysis they immediately pointed to Potter.

And the result is that they are getting worse and worse without being able to control it, even though they have brought in a number of players with very expensive prices. The board of directors should be able to learn from their mistakes and immediately seriously improve the team. But strangely when the club leaders hoped that Chelsea could advance to the next phase, they instead showed Lampard as a coach. This is really a very wrong decision for the umpteenth time.

The 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid caused The Blues' hopes of qualifying for the semifinals to be very heavy and it can be said that they have been tightly closed. Now the jeers of the Chelsea fans deserve to be leveled at the club's leaders.

Obviously Lampard tactics was so poor and didn't work out last night, because you can't play such pattern against a team like Real Madrid and expect to defend the game till the end without them scoring a single goal, I guess he didn't go their to win the game initially, he wanted to get a draw, so this was why he didn't forced attack at the beginning, Until the first goal came and distorted their whole plans for the game. Looking at Chelsea's performance last night, it's now obvious that they got zero chance of qualifying, with most of their key players now on yellow cards.
I think everyone knows that Chelsea are in a bad form so it's pointless to complain about the defeat because of course it's not something easy for Chelsea to beat madrid let alone draw a result. Some fans blame Frank Lampard for his lack of enthusiasm as a coach. While some others actually defend Frank Lampard and think this is the fault of the players. This debate is happening everywhere between Chelsea fans in various places as well as on social media platforms including Twitter.

Many say this is a mistake in the line-up, where fans often complain about certain players so they don't have to be made starters in the team because of their poor performance. even though Frank Lampard had made the line-up according to the fans' request, it turned out that Chelsea still lost. people will always blame the coach while building a big club cannot be as short as expected. I'm sure Chelsea won't qualify for the next round and should start fixing everything as a whole for the better.
Chelsea have all the good players it takes to win matches but their big problem is not having a good coach. I thought that Lampard will add a little impact to the club on yesterday's match,but I saw that Lampard and Potter have the same mentality. On my own side,I see it that Todd is the problem of Chelsea. He bragged yesterday morning that his club will win Real Madrid 3-0,and I was wondering how possible will this happen. Todd is bad luck to Chelsea,he doesn't have the winning luck and the zeal to put things in order to revive the club. The former owner has good luck that was why Chelsea won so many trophies and got to the top four in England. Our luck also play a major role in our games.

Real madrid was always coming with high pressure on chelsea. Real madrid was always trying to bombing the goalkeeper of chelsea. Lampard has been making some mistake here.
Todd is still feeling so confidence if chelsea will able to make its revenge on the stamford bridge. Chelsea needs a miracle to make it happen. I don't even like the way of lampard was using the strategy. It lacks defensive and aggressive.

Lampard is clueless and he has not known what he has been doing. The result of the last match is very embarrassing for the club. So many players were playing individually

Yes, Lampard is playing without any set strategy or game plan against Real Madrid, and his lack of direction has been visible. It's unfortunate to see Chelsea struggling so much this season, it's been an embarrassment for the club. There's still hope as it's only 2 nil and anything can happen next game. However, Todd Boehly remains confident in the team's ability to turn things around. Of course, while confidence is important, it's also crucial to recognize the limitations of what can be achieved.
There’re a lot of negativities this first leg. Firstly, I didn’t like the formation Lampard used and the tactics didn't help the team. How the coach was using James and Chilwel made the lads frustrated not getting the best out of them. Chelsea players were crowded in the midfield and didn't know what to do with the ball. The players lacked confidence. There were no players upfront to take chances, they barely created some. This is not just about the managers, but the players must step up their games and believe.

despite what seems or looks like. Convincing winning for real Madrid this tie is not over yet, what it's is that one trend will have to fall as both teams have strong records heading into the second leg after a 2-0 win for the home team in the first leg it won't be a thin of surprise when the return leg is played at Stanford bridge and Chelsea come out victorious we have seen the same result in 2021 semi-final first leg  2-0 at Stanford bridge but Real Madrid could not turn it back in the Spanish capital and had to settle for a 1-1 draw but I see similar results playing wonders for Madrid here, as Chelsea has not been in form this season

Haaland one pass and one goal.  My guess is correct, he will remain a dangerous striker. Haaland's goal proved the Bayern Munich defender failed to keep him moving. But behind that I was amazed by De Brunye's performance. Bayern Munich also failed to shut him down.
Bayern Munich also looked unconfident. Their defenders made a lot of mistakes. It seems that they are mentally depressed. Tuchel was also late in changing players. He should be able to bring in new players after the break. But I'm in awe of Sommer, he's actually good but he's not got good defensive support. Bayern Munich seems to have to work hard in the second leg

Real Madrid played pretty well in my opinion, for Madrid's victory, which only scored 2 scores, if that's not a bad thing, we can see Real Madrid taking over the game even from the first half minutes, Chelsea's chances to score always fail and it can be said that their game was less effective than In terms of game patterns, it wasn't so difficult for Real Madrid to score the first goal in the early half through Benzema's kick, but it's true that Chelsea's game was so bad in the final minutes, it should even be easy for Real Madrid to score more than two goals.
It's still far from the expectation by chelsea's fans. Cucurela once again become the main focus by so many eyes right now. Cucurela is always going out from his position and that was pushing chilwell to prevent madrid's player to create another goal by doing serious foul. Ben chilwell was not doing something wrong in this case. He just wanna see if chelsea will not get another goal again. Cucurela is a player that must be blamed here. This guy is very incompetence to be a defender. Chelsea must terminate him for sure.





Another good news has come for napoli fans. Osimhen will able to play in the second leg against ac milan. I think that this will be boosting the spirit of all of players caused by the best striker owned by napoli is coming back again this time.

I hope that osimhen will able to make multiple goals. Elmas is useless player. Napoli shall sell him in the summer and replace him with a better striker to be secondary striker if osimhen got injured.

Ac Milan in the champions league last eight for the first time was straight and decisive to have come out of the trap demonstrating why they are still suppose to be in charge if the will want to proceed to the next stage of the game . Georgia winger had a clean clear shot from eight yards when a poor clearance was presented to him in the opening game but was blocked Napoli has proven to be a tough side in the campaign and has had the highest scorer in the competition this season the second half was also full of grate opportunities and chances. For not conceding and goal is a good thing they need to play and win next week as well

It was an expected result yesterday to see Real Madrid winning the match because in all sense Chelsea would not be able to Meet up with Real Madrid's pressure in the game because both clubs are not in the same formations this season.
Chelsea has been under a lot of crisis for a while now and that has affected the club in so many ways including the player's motivations and team formations and that has been the main reason for most of their defeats in recent games even though there have been multiple changes of coach.

It was expected that Madrid would dominate and win the home match. Real Madrid players performed well in this match. However, I expected a more organized performance from Chelsea. Chelsea's performance was very bad in this match. In this match, even though Chelsea played defensively, they could not stop Madrid's players. Madrid 2-0 in the match with goals from Benzema and Asensio. Won the first leg 2-0 and is in the save zone. I think Madrid's performance will be more stable in the second leg. And Madrid will win the second leg. Chelsea will not be able to resist Madrid with such a weak defense.

On Saturday they play at home against Broghton & Hove Albion and they must win it, or maybe less fans will come to the stadium because they don't want to watch it anymore. Then directly after that on 18 april the return match against Real Madrid and i think they have no chance to going in the next round. Chelsea has lost the 5 games of the last 10 and won only 3. Carlo Ancelotti surely wants the 5 win in the champions league. He has already won 2 titles with Real Madrid, in 21/22 and 13/14.

Chelsea problem in the just played match against Real Madrid started from their coach's team selection and starting lineup, starting a game with 5 natural defenders in 3:5:2  formation made  their game lacks creativity, they were not able to create more chances nor make more clinical attempts that should have been resulted to a goal. They were waiting for a counter attack for them to score, which was not possible because real Madrid took over the game from from first half. So if they really want to Turn this match around in their home, they need to change this type of formation and pattern of game automatically to attacking game.
Chelsea did not play too bad and they at least created some opportunities from which they should have goals. However, they were lack of luckiness as well as accuracy from their shots to have goals. Facing with Real Madrid and wasting precious opportunities is like you are suicide.

Real Madrid also wasted some chances to finalize Chelsea after the first leg but with two goals at home, they will move to Stamford Bridge with many options. I believe that Real Madrid will be ready to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge too. We already how their attacking players are ready to score goals any time and Chelsea defense system simply is not good enough, not strong enough like rock.
Losing without scoring, to get a red card midway through the second half and almost lose our chances of making it to the next round is really bad.
I did not see any chances for Chelsea, there were few dangerous chances, only Hernandez was remembered for his long-range shots, which were missed and seemed to have been made by him out of desperation. Lampard didn't fix the situation, he made it worse. The players didn't play well and still don't play well, although Chelsea have a great squad, but they can't take advantage of it.
Another very sad match for Chelsea. It is not clear when the team will be able to recover from this season.

Real Madrid on the other hand is playing at the maximum of their abilities, given the average age of the players and especially happy for Assencio, who once again scored a beautiful goal.

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

Napoli were unlucky to not get a goal. They had great chances but the finishing was lacking. They even have higher xG for the game of 1.41 while Milan had 1.17. xG basically means expected goals and it calculates the potential goals a team could score based on the quality of chances that were created. To make matters worse, Anguissa got sent off from the match and Napoli were down to 10 men for the last 15 mins, hindering their chances to get an equalizer.

They played quite badly at San Siro, they dominated the match more but they failed to capitalize on the goal opportunities they had. But the results at San Siro are not everything, we still have the second leg and they still have a big chance to turn things around, unlike other teams whose chances are very small like Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Benfica. I still believe that Napoli was just unlucky in the first leg, so my prediction for the second leg is at least Napoli 2 - 0 AC Milan (2 - 1 on aggregate).

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.
Milan players was successfully to guarded Kravatskhelia and during the match he cannot able to moving free and this makes he seems unable to performing well and Napoli indeed has create the opportunities to scores several times on the first half but unfortunately there were no goal for them until end of this match and for Milan apparently counter attack scheme which is they displayed has successfully to bring them to get the winning results

Maignan can make Milan players comfortable in this match this because he was performing outstanding by making some fantastic saves i think this also caused why Napoli players looks frustrated but this is not done yet because 1-0 is not safe scores and on the second leg Napoli had good chances to get revenge considering they will playing as a host
