People think AC Milan is a weak team in Italia Sería A and therefore it should be weak in the UCL as well but, they will be absolutely surprised if AC Milan drop Napoli out of UCL. Personally I won't be surprised at all. UCL is mostly about history and pedigree and AC Milan has lots of UCL history unlike Napoli.

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.

I was sure that AC Milan was going to win against Napoli in tonight's match even though it was a narrow escape for AC Milan compared to Resl Madrid's match against Chelsea which won with 2 goals, a lot of speculations and analysis went forth before the beginning of the match how Chelsae and Napoli both have chances to put strong opposition.

I believe that Real Madrid will be able to defeat Chelsea in this first leg, and also in the second leg because of Chelsea's performance so far. they are not as strong as in some previous seasons. Their performance in EPL is very bad and we know about it. But for Napoli, their defeat against Milan in their previous match also shows that Napoli's performance decreased because of the absence of their striker.

....However, in Leg 2 it is still wide open for Napoli to restore its position if it can perform even better. Statistically, in this match, Napoli excelled in ball possession and had more shots on target. So the task is only to maximize it, the absence of Osimhen clearly makes the attack line not too sharp in scoring goals.

It was really very unfortunate when Napoli had to lose 0 - 1 in this first leg. But luckily, the aggregate is still 0 - 1 so this still doesn't rule out the possibility for Napoli to reply in the second leg later. Actually, Napoli was already quite good in terms of ball possession, but this is not enough if it is only good statistically. Milan has stronger tactics in attack and their effectiveness is at least higher than Napoli's. Oshimen is still absent in this match and this really affects Napoli's performance, especially on the front line or attack, which has greatly reduced strength and accuracy.

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.

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.

A day that was like a nightmare for Chelsea. In the first half their performance looked bad, the constant pressure exerted by Real Madrid renders Chelsea incapable of such action. In the second half, it got even worse, the red card received by Chilwell made Chelsea even more hopeless. Fortunately, Real Madrid was only able to add one goal, because of so many good opportunities that Real Madrid had failed to become goals.

It seems difficult for Chelsea to get back to form. So obviously Madrid will qualify at any cost and in Leg 2 Chelsea will have a hard time. Another game for Napoli, which I didn't expect to lose by a narrow margin. However, in Leg 2 it is still wide open for Napoli to restore its position if it can perform even better. Statistically, in this match, Napoli excelled in ball possession and had more shots on target. So the task is only to maximize it, the absence of Osimhen clearly makes the attack line not too sharp in scoring goals.

But the outcome of both matches has proven otherwise and the winning trend went to Real Madrid who score a higher goal in their match compared to AC Milan who still ssstruggles townsite just a goal.

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.

If Osimhen recovers by that match they might have a chance. Didnt expect Napoli to lose two games in a row against Milan in such a small period. Milan played good today and if Napoli wants them to beat them they will need to play like they played the entire season. But still Milan will have a heavy away game

Without Osimhen, Napoli is weak opponent for Milan. It is proven that Milan managed to beat Napoli in two consecutive matches, it is a great thing for Milan so far. So maybe one assumption is right, even though Napoli are really favorites in the Champions League this season, in fact they are not completely safe from non-favorite opponents.

I agree, Chelsea's squad has more potential,

Chelsea are playing without a striker, with Rahim Sterling and Felix in front they have been very ineffective, as both of them are running out of position because it is not where they usually play in. With the Red cars now to Ben Chilwell, Chelsea have more problems on their hand. If they cannot win they should at least try not concede Many goals so they have a chance in the return leg at Stamford bridge. Haverts needs to play in this game.

As I was expecting Chelsea couldn't surprise us even with their new coach Lampard who can change the tactic of this team but the problem about Chslea is not going to be solved just by replacing the coach they had a bad performance during this season and this bad performance had a negative effect on the team atmosphere, based on the recent matches we saw from Chelsea Real Madrid could even win the game by scoring more goals against this team.

A day that was like a nightmare for Chelsea. In the first half their performance looked bad, the constant pressure exerted by Real Madrid renders Chelsea incapable of such action. In the second half, it got even worse, the red card received by Chilwell made Chelsea even more hopeless. Fortunately, Real Madrid was only able to add one goal, because of so many good opportunities that Real Madrid had failed to become goals.

I think from the return match should not be expected a different result, because it was obvious even before the match. The fact is that the whole season the English have been very bad, it's worth watching only the last 5 matches... The fact that they got to this stage of the Champions League is already great. Anyway, we'll see what happens in the return match, although I do not believe in change...

Real Madrid is not a team that posses games or constantly pressure their opponent every time but they were able to do both things to Chelsea, it shows how bad Chelsea was. Not like I was expecting anything different from Chelsea but this was even below my expectation. Chelsea was able to force only one good save from Courtois, and that was early on in the first half from Joao Felix.
Kepa tried his best actually. The second goal scored by Asensio shows the lack of concentration by Chelsea. They were all in and around the box but they just allowed Asensio space to shoot. The marking was poor since before the ball got to Vinicuis.
Like I've always said, you can't be a serious club that wants to win the champions league and hire Lampard as your coach. They were lucky Madrid was in that mood today, it should have been more than 2 goals.

Chelsea received a red card and now i think its just a matter of how many more goals they can concede. Real Madrid has a win in the bag but they need more goals to seal this duel so that they dont give a chance in the rematch. Chelsea needs to hold on until the end and at least lose by one goal.

Real Madrid are most likely to win this first leg match even though they only have a 1-0 lead over Chelsea. Real Madrid had the numerical advantage after Ben Chilwell was sent off for fouling Rodrygo, but the game was still quite fierce between the two.

Chelsea had a lot of problems building up the attack because of Real Madrid's defense and covering it well. It is difficult for Chelsea to find goals and will likely accept defeat for the remaining minutes.

The Real Madrid team is now leading 2-0. And I don't see any chance of losing this match. Because Chelsea's performance is very poor today. Benzema scored the first goal of the match. And Marco Asensio scored the second goal from Vini's pass. Real Madrid is doing great. So far Madrid has had a total of 15 shots, surprisingly 10 of which were on target. On the other hand, Chelsea made only 5 shots. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players was very poor today.

Napoli is likely to lose against AC Milan. Napoli's performance is not weak. However, Milan is playing completely defensive so Napoli's attacking players are not able to break Milan's defense. Milan now lead 1-0. And it looks like AC Milan will win the match 1-0

Napoli's performance in Serie A and the gap they have with other teams could be a good reason to say they can easily beat AC Milan today but they don't have Osimhen again in this game which affected the team's performance and they are playing on San Siro stadium where Ac Milan can have more benefits, but I guess Napoli have a good chance to beat AC Milan in the second leg.

After AC Milan won Napoli in their domestic league 4-0. I knew it that AC Milan will also win today's match. The reason is that Oshimen who is their hit man has injury and after I confirmed that he will not be playing in today's match, I considered the today's match a lost for Napoli

There will be hope for Napoli in San siro because Oshimen will be playing the match and the goal aggregate is just s1-0, this give a good welcome back for Napoli. If Napoli can score more goals in San siro,this means that they will qualify to the semifinals.

My surprise in the two matches played today was that in both matches,there was a red card given to the losing clubs.

It's not clear how long it takes from osimhen to recover from his injury. Losing 1 - 0 in san siro can be considered as an outstanding achievement. Napoli will have a chance to come back again in the future. Even chelsea's loss is less compared with bayern against manchester city. The quality of defenders that owned by chelsea is far better compared with bayern, even though chelsea had horrible attacking lines at this moment in EPL. The thing that makes me think impossible for chelsea to come back is about how bad the attacking line of chelsea right now.

I don't even know how can chelsea make more than 2 goals against real madrid in stamford bridge. it will be good if ben chilwell was not getting a red card. The problem is the red card of ben chilwell was making chelsea lose another goal against real madrid.
Ben chilwell was doing an unnecessary thing for sure.These results are unexpected for me to see that about so many players were playing away without even making a single goal.

It's not even close to the speculation.

now it's 2-0. Madrid managed to take advantage of the superior advantage of number of players. Chelsea can't do anything with 10 players left. and in the first leg, Madrid is very easy to find victory. the game is nearing the end, and Madrid is still strong with a 2 goal advantage.

Milan also won 1-0 over Napoli in other matches. this match also had a red card incident that Napoli got. they were already behind and now outnumbered players. Napoli will struggle to get an equalizer. Napoli has played their best, even though playing without their mainstay players, the difference in their game is very visible. hopefully, Napoli will have better luck in the second leg.

The point is that Napoli really needs another reliable striker besides Osimhen. because they really don't have many options to make their attack better in Osimhen's absence. and as now we can see that Napoli has also built quite good attacks several times. but Napoli's forwards lacked the confidence to penetrate the Milan defence.

Before hand, I had so much enthusiasm in Napoli and they were my favourites to win today's fixtures but, after seeing how they are playing, it's hard to see them getting more than a point in this match. That's the most that could cine from them, a draw and that's if they could manage it to score a goal.
V. Osimen's absence have definitely had some impact on the Napoli style of play as there is no one that is there to be in the middle of all these balls, have got the confidence to take on the AC Milan defence alone and actually make some on target attempts. The player that has been some worth impressive is Khvicha but, they all seem to have given up now with the red card out.
