Chelsea versus Real Madrid I can't help but laugh When Real Madrid's star player, Karim Benzema, was present and fully prepared, not even the slightest chance was given to Chelsea. Benzema was the first to score under 27 minutes with Vinicius Junior given out two assists for the goals scored, and from the shots on target, Real Madrid had 9 and Chelsea had only three. From the starting  of the game, I already knew that it was going to be a lost game for Chelsea. watching  the game seeing the expression on the faces of Chelsea  fans was just funny  after the second goal.

Chelsea's performance wasn't particularly impressive. They performed so poorly to the extent that they can't hold onto the ball for seconds without Real Madrid taking it away from them. Sadly, a team like Chelsea is disorganized or unprepared to prevail in matches with the caliber of players they have. They just showed their level of seriousness in today's match.
It's a pity that Chelsea has now become a mediocre club that any club(big or small) can win them easily without attempting to win or draw at least. This is so tiring and funny to her fans

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.

Quote
There is nothing wrong with Napoli's game because they do it as usual, it's just that the difference in this match is that they still need a finisher who is hungry for goals and when Osimhen is not in the squad, they lose a frightening finisher in attack who makes their attacks and opportunities wasted.
Maignan brought AC Milan to a win with his excellent saves and he will be one of biggest hopes of AC Milan at Naples.

The match went a little easier for Real Madrid to get the win and in my opinion Chelsea is not a match for Real Madrid at the moment, even before Ben Chilwell got a red card Real Madrid really dominated the match. Nine shots on target were scored by Real Madrid and the game went without any pressure. Real Madrid played more relaxed and didn't push too hard playing harder as usual and this is the first time I saw Real Madrid playing more relaxed and not as much pressure in the Champions League.

Luckily Chelsea have a goalkeeper like Kepa Arrizabalaga and he really showed his quality as one of the best goalkeepers and in this game managed to make seven saves, so that Chelsea avoided defeat and conceded more goals.

There have been many explanations from the community in this thread that Chelsea are not favored in this match due to their poor performance in the domestic league. we can even see that there were no attacks that produced any goals for Chelsea, it's a shame that Chelsea had to play with 10 players in the second half, of course that would bury hopes of a draw where many might bet on a draw like you.
They wanted to believe in rhythm of history and thought that Lampard can repeat success of Di Matteo and Tuchel to bring another Champions League to the club. 2 conceded goals is bad but at least it is better than what they got in the past season, lost at home with 3 goal difference. So they can have another hope that they will be able to score two goals at Stamford Bridge as in the past season, they managed to score 3 goals and led the match before Benzema appeared and saved Real Madrid.

Quote
Madrid deserved to win because they played as the host, of course they didn't want to disappoint all their supporters. after all, on paper, Madrid as the defending champion knows how to play in the UCL and win this match, so as we can see, it is not difficult for Madrid to overcome Chelsea in this first leg match, the second leg will be a tough job for Chelsea to be able to comeback at home, if Chelsea wins it is a miracle the same way you hope for a draw but it doesn't come true. btw, you are not alone friends, even I also bet on a draw  Grin
They are King in Champions League and at their home stadium, they did not allow Chelsea to make surprise.

Benzema again shown his value in Champions League. He began this season slowly and was not actually ready with his body but now when the season comes to ending weeks, he is on fire. He will be a most dangerous player for Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

Real Madrid led by a goal before half-time and just after half-time a Chelsea player was red carded and sent off whenever they went on the attack. Later Chelsea club couldn't go on much of an attack as one player less how to fight against another full team. Real Madrid put another goal ahead in the 74th minute as red carded Ben Chilwell, one of Chelsea's key players, came off the field 59 minutes into the match. Chelsea had attacks but could not succeed in attacking. But I thought today's match was more likely to be a draw. I took the draw bet.

Real Madrid players are better than Chelsea ones and the way they play and the performance are quite different. Chelsea have a lot to do in order to return to their old form.. They deserved what happened to them.
For Napoli, they still have a chance to recover in the second leg. I don't know why they dropping badly lately. They shouldn't count on Osimhen every time..

Real Madrid could have even won by a bigger goal gap against Chelsea actually. But this 2-0 result is still enough for them to seal the deal next time. Besides it doesn't matter for Real Madrid much about whether they play home or away. Because we all saw what they did to Liverpool in Anfield. It was a pure destruction and they can do a similar thing to Chelsea as well.

Lampard's choices in this game weren't very good honestly. But even if they were good I don't think Chelsea would have got a better result than this.

Napoli created an incredible pressure area with tey attacks against Milan. Milan made good use of his few counterattack chances. On his first counterattack, Leão dribbled the ball for about 50 metres, but no one could catch him, but he threw the ball out. When Milan got their second counter chance, they scored without losing that chance this time. In the Real Madrid-Chelsea game, Vini Jr and Benzama are as usual. Chelsea were desperate after Chilweel's red card after he drop Rodrygo.

Again and again they struggled to score goals against Milan. Now things are turning around a bit for them after being the real favourites.
With their condition that they still can't have a way to face Milan in the last 2 matches, this is clearly a real concern for Napoli.
Spalleti needs to make a breakthrough and some new schemes for the second leg later.

Not so unexpected winning for Milan, game is not over yet but Napoli lately is not in great shape.

Ez win for Real.
Napoli lost Osimhen as a pillar which made it a bit complicated for them. On the other hand for Madrid this is indeed a very easy victory. It wasn't too much of a problem for Madrid in this match but indeed for Leg 2 there are still some conditions where they can't let their guard down because even though Chelsea aren't very good but looking at the few opportunities created they actually also put some pretty good pressure from their counterattack from the wing.

Real Madrid beating Chelsea easily today is not surprising to me because before the game I had predicted them to win with a scoreline of 3:0 but it's quite unfortunate that they were unable to get the third goal that would have given me a cool cash for my bet. For the Napoli and AC Milan game, I think I agree with you, winning 1:0 at home against Napoli is not a guarantee winning for as Napoli can come back to beat them at home especially if their key striker is back from injury and ready to play.
Real Madrid nailed Chelsea at Santiago bernabeu and it's a deserved victory for the Los blancos. Carlo Ancelotti knows the exact strategy to used in UCL games and Karim Benzema always in good positioning to invade the defendlines of his opponents. Chelsea not in their best form, so winning at Stamford bridge is not possible, they might struggle to levelled points over there. Napoli didn't get the accolades in the game, however it all proves that Victor Osimhen is among the criteria that the club nerds inother to win games.

Real Madrid beat Chelsea easily. It didn't make sense to expect a surprise anyway. Milan also managed to beat Napoli, but Milan could not get a very advantageous score. In the 2nd match, I think Napoli will beat Milan if there are no major setbacks. (Naples will probably pass the round. Real Madrid has already got an advantageous score, but I think Real Madrid will win in Chelsea's field. Real Madrid, who gave Liverpool a historical defeat in their own field, does not hurt Chelsea.

It makes absolutely no sense to me at all that Napoli lost this game. I saw them as guaranteed for the finals because they are already destroying Milan and Inter on the league and they should be the better team here as well. I agree that they lost their games against Inter and Milan this year if I am not wrong, or at least recently and maybe that is telling us something about this issue but the reality is that they have built a better team this year and should be doing far better. I have no idea why they lost, they should be better and I am hoping that they will do better on the second game. It will be at home, so they will have some advantage for sure and could be better for them.
I expect such a result because I know Napoli is not confident enough to withstand experienced AC Milan without their great man Victor Osimhen; Napoli lost to Milan in their last league match, but they still try as they were able to keep the goals under one.
I am confident Victor will return before the second leg, so Napoli will do everything in their power to defeat Milan at home as well.

Many people have predicted this game well because they all know that Chelsea is not in form and with the current Real Madrid situation, I don't think Chelsea can survive even at Stamford Bridge when they play the second leg.

The Champions League really has a different atmosphere. AC has once again shown its European DNA and is also a team with a long history. The victory obtained tonight was the result of hard work and a sense of optimism from the Milan players. Previously, Milan was not so favored in this match, because considering their performance in Serie A, which was still inconsistent. A 1-0 advantage is also not completely safe for the Rossoneri, but if Pioli is able to maintain the fitness of his players, Milan will be able to maintain this victory in the second leg later.

Napoli have indeed appeared superior in Serie A, but they have to admit that Milan has an extraordinary mentality. The Partenopei have lost twice to Milan. Some people claim that Napoli's defeat was due to Osimhen's absence. Spalletti should have learned a valuable lesson from the 4-0 defeat and immediately looked for alternatives when he appeared in the Champions League tonight. But again Napoli had to give up on Milan. Dependence on one figure in a team is very dangerous and causes the whole team to shake.

It's a performance I expected from Real Madrid and we have to say that it was a good win. We can say that they actually won the match with the pressure they put in the first half. They played a really great first half and managed to break Chelsea's resistance in the first half. In the second half, with the red card of chillwell, chelsea was left with 10 men and we can say that their hopes started to run out. 15 minutes after the red card, chelsea conceded 1 more goal and lost 2-0.
I expected more, bro. I assume Real Madrid will win with more than 2 goals, especially when 1 Chelsea player got a red card. But Real Madrid only can make 2 goals, no other goals anymore after Asensio added 1 goal in 2nd half. Although it is not a bad result, I think Real Madrid actually has the capability to score more goals.

The next match (2nd Leg) will be at Chelsea home (Stamford Bridge). Chelsea possibly changes their game/tactic, they should play more aggressively. Real Madrid should score 1 goal again in the first half to secure the ticket to the next round. If Chelsea can score 1 goal in the 1st half of 2nd Leg, I'm not sure Real Madrid will be easy to win the match.

I didn't see any interesting game from Chelsea against Real Madrid at all. Chelsea were only able to put Real Madrid under pressure at the start of the first half, but overall Real Madrid really proved that they were the best. I don't wonder why Real Madrid can win this match, in fact I think Real Madrid will also win the second leg later at Stamford Bridge.

Now Real Madrid has reached a safe footing for the semi-finals. Winning 2-0 on aggregate I think it's safe if Chelsea plays like this in the second leg. Ancelotti is likely to be more comfortable waiting for the second leg even though Chelsea are playing at home.

[nents.
Real Madrid didn't display their best. I was expecting much score line from this match but I'm surprised it ended in just two goals. I know it's because of chelsea midfield. Kanet, Enzo Fernandez and Kovasic seems to be chelsea's best midfield line up. but personally, I prefer mason mount in place of Kovasic so that there will be much support in attack. Had it been mason mount was featured in the start, Madrid wouldn't have much space since they will be doing more of the defending also.  But In all, I knew Madrid will be victorious in this first leg.
