Napoli might even see this game as an opportunity to revenge that very defeat by AC Milan, While Milan in their side might be on laxity to thinking that this is gonna be the usual soft game for them as they thrashed Napoli in their previous encounter. For me I'm on the side of seeing a comeback Napoli in this game, regardless of whether AC Milan is playing at home, because Napoli got team to do the job.

The match will be really difficult to predict despite seeing Napoli in better form that ac Milan due to what happened in their second leg serie A match played, because that is what is really getting me convinced at this point,because I never really expected such a defeat from ac Milan toward Napoli, four goals scored by ac Milan in second leg of their local league make me believe that their good enough to play Napoli and I may  say that ac Milan have advantage to win today match, especially with this their home match today.


If Chelsea adopt some approach they will be able to stop Real Madrid in this match.  First they have to play defensively against Real Madrid. And three players have to plan extra.  Karim Benzema, Vini Jr. If Luka Modrić can keep them under control, this match could result in a draw. And Rodrigo as a substitute could be dangerous for Chelsea.

In their matchup with Real Madrid, Chelsea will benefit greatly from playing defense, but I don't think Lampard is very adept at doing so. In truth, I'm seeing Real Madrid winning the match because I think they'll do everything in their power to win today's match against Chelsea at home rather than lose or lose.But I want Chelsea to avoid conceding a lot of goals from Real Madrid today.

One thing I remember most is that Chelsea beat Real Madrid in the 2020/2021 season, at that time Chelsea made it to the final and beat Manchester City and they won. But last season (2021/2022) we beat them and Real Madrid became champions.

So I have clear reasons why Chelsea should not be underestimated regardless of Lampard being the new manager. Lampard is an experienced player, maybe he can give his players some motivation to do better, so I hope Real Madrid realize that. Even if I wish Real Madrid to win, this match must be very difficult.

Chelsea's squad today is made up of their best players because some of the have recovered from injuries. Key players like Ngolo Kante, Reece James, and Ben Chiwell are players that can make a difference in the Chelsea team. Although Chelsea has not been doing well they have a good defense but the attack has been the problem because they are not scoring goals. It's also great to see that Mason Mount and Kai Havertz could come in later in this game. Lampard is not a stranger in this club because he knows the playing style of some of the players so he might be able to coordinate the team for victory this night. If Real Madrid underrate Chelsea, they will pay dearly for this mistake.

It is not known what will be the score of Milan Napoli avoid. I'm looking forward to a 3-way match. In their last league match, Milan managed to beat Napoli 0-2 away. Today the match will be played at Milan's home ground. Milan can get an advantageous score in the first match. Real Madrid - Chelsea match will have only one result and that is Real win. A contrary score would be a surprise.

In Real Madrid's match with Chelsea, we rather assume that Real Madrid will handle it very well, judging by Mentality and also performance I think Real Madrid is far superior to Chelsea, this will be the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid, although at the moment Chelsea also has a good mentality and Real Madrid I think is a tough rival for him, so far maybe Cheslea's performance has been bad this season in the primary league, and they have to prepare their mentality to face Real Madrid who have so far been very consistent with their performance.

I also think, that Real Madrid is the favorite against FC Chelsea tonight. Madrid is playing at home today which always is a little bit of an advantage even though the Real fans are most of the time not that supportive if the team is not playing well, it wants to be entertained by good football. Besides that i think that Real is just the team, that has way more experience in this competition in comparison to the team of Chelsea. Somehow Real always manages to show good performances in the Champions League, even though they are not the big favorites to win the competition, the same thing was happening last year.

Whatever Chelsea's current problems are, I'm not 100% sure Real Madrid can deal with them. Real Madrid have good experience in the Champions League, but Chelsea is a team that also has the good mentality to present tough competition. I know we (Real Madrid) are stronger, but when you realize that Chelsea have quality players then no one will underestimate them today.

A lot of the Spanish media seem to really believe we will win the match, I agree on that, but Chelsea are team to watch out for. Lampard might make an impact on Chelsea's performance this time around, so it's expected that the game will be very interesting.
Chelsea vs Real Madrid would be an interesting game to watch indeed, but honestly, if I was to bet on this Game, I wouldn't be so sure about giving chelsea a win against Real Madrid.
Yes, Chelsea is a team filled with well experienced players, Lampard is one of those and his abilities can not be underestimated, but Real Madrid on the other hand have done realty well so far, beating Chelsea wouldn't or might not be easy for them, but the possibility is high in my opinion.

I clearly get the point you are coming from, but also do understand that the Chelsea that played and beat Real Madrid in 2020/2021 is not the same Chelsea playing in this seasons UCL, I am neither a Chelsea nor Real Madrid fan, but I just wanna say the fact as I see it, Lampard being the new manager of Chelsea won't make much impact on the team yet, Lampard, though was a player in the team, still needs some time to settle in as the new manager of the team, I personally do not expect him to start producing results immediately, but all the same, my fingers are crossed 🤞 for him, but I still stand on my ground, Real Madrid might not find it funny, but they have a good chance of beating chelsea if they play their best.

Everton dumped Lampard because Everton's performance continued to decline, but Chelsea's management chose him to be a temporary coach when Chelsea was fighting in the Champions League, I thought that was very reckless. even though chelsea has lost a small percentage to madrid in their last few meetings but this time i think differently, madrid will definitely win easily against chelsea in leg 1 of the quarter-final today.

I do not think that it was that much unexpected, Bayern hasn't been that great this year if you followed bundesliga, and this was a team that was better last year and still had hard time against Dortmund thanks to Haaland scoring, so when you put that together, Bayern being worse, City being a better team, Haaland joining City, all these combined makes a very clear indication that Bayern would have lost.

Not only that, but Pep has been managing this team for many years now whereas Tuchel has come to Bayern just a week or two ago, he hasn't really seen the team all that much. Sure they may not be doing amazing in this game, and maybe they will go out as expected, but they are going to better in the future for sure.

Bayern's defeat to Man City yesterday added to Tuchel's long list of defeats against Pep. While still in charge of Chelsea, Tuchel also had difficulty winning against Pep. there is still a second-leg match at Bayern, although I doubt bayern can qualify and successfully score more than 3 goals in that match.

Seeing these situations and conditions, Chelsea beating Real Madrid is not an easy matter but also not impossible. Real Madrid is currently playing more towards momentum and strong counterattacks. So, Lampard should be able to study and watch Real Madrid's match against Barcelona.

In my opinion, Chelsea should be able to maintain this momentum with a strong ball possession game, and score first as much as possible, then Real Madrid's gameplay will falter a little, and Carlo Ancelotti will have to think again in the second half. So, if you have excelled in the first half, then just use Real Madrid's way of relying on counterattacks in the second half and don't lose the ball as easily as possible, especially in midfield.

But that's just theory and predictions, in fact I'm sure it will be difficult to do. But, seeing the composition of Chelsea this season which is not playing games from all sides, in my opinion it can be done. If Lampard can maximize the potential of existing players. Remember guys, this season's Chelsea squad is the most expensive in the EPL, and that means they have to be able to do something against Real Madrid.

Chelsea defence and midfield is good enough to withstand the pressure of Real Madrid. With Kante and Enzo in the middle is a force joined with Kovasic. That is good enough to stand Kroos, Modric and Kamavinga.
The formation of Chelsea 3 man defence : 5 man defence is good because Chiwell and James have the pace to play box to box and reserve energy.
One important thing that Chelsea is missing is a standing 9 who is a sharp shooter that can get goal anytime in the match.

Tuchel couldn't win against Guardiola this time. There hasn't been much time since he started his job at Bayern Munich though. But I don't want to put it like an excuse for him of course. By the way I don't think anything would have changed if Nagelsmann was still managing the team instead. Because it was all thanks to Manchester City's incredible effort in this match. It was too difficult for Bayern Munich to resist them there.

Especially the second half performances were the decider for how this match would end. If Bayern Munich were able to defend them better then maybe they could have at least lost by a small goal difference. But the weaknesses in defense cost them the Champions League most probably. Because it is just too hard to believe that Bayern Munich can turn things around from this point.

In any case, weather conditions are ideal tonight in both cities. Milan and Madrid. Last year, both teams also faced each other in the Knock out phase, and the first game was played in London and then Real Madrid won 1-3. But Chelsea didn't have to lose that one. Great goals from Benzema then in quick succession in the first half. Chelsea then won 2-3 in Madrid, but it came too late. Real Madrid faltered a lot last season, all the better that they won the title. Bayern Munich had opportunities to achieve results in Manchester yesterday, but that should have happened after the break. Losing 3-0 seems to be a hopeless mission for Bayern. AC Milan - Napoli is a coin tosh.

My guess was right, City won. But three goals really made Bayern Munchen worse. Tuchel seems to have to work hard to rearrange the strategy in Germany later. Two things that Munchen should not do when losing The defense line that often makes mistakes. Then Tuchel, who looked confused, failed to make the most of the substitutions. Three goals are quite heavy, but looking at possession and opportunities should be Bayern Munchen Can make a surprise later.
Yes, this is very unexpected, before I thought that Bayern Munich had a chance to win this game, or at least get a draw. However, things turned around instead, I saw Bayern Munich's defensive performance decline and made blunders so that Manchester City easily opened the tap for goals through Rodri's spectacular kick which managed to break into Yann Sommer's goal. Yes, it looks like Tuchel will have to make changes in defense and rearrange his best strategy.

Next week Bayern Munich will again face Manchester City in the second leg, let's see if Bayern Munich will appear different to avenge their defeat.

The odds are very attractive for betting today, i think Real Madrid are going to score as much as possible goals to confirm passing to the next round, Chelsea are having some issues in their house with the coach change and not doing good in last matches not even winning their last 4 matches in Premier League. Which made me bet on Real Madrid for a good return.


In the other side Ac Milan showed another face against Napoli which made me think that this team is capable of beating the leader of Serie A in Italy. They even have a chance to pass to the next round. The last match between them changed the odds for me. So i will risk some buckses for Inter Milan this time

It is undeniable, Chelsea performance which is still erratic places them as a non seeded team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The lack of goal productivity is one of Chelsea weaknesses ahead of the match against Real Madrid, Chelsea failed to score in 8 of their last 13 matches in all competitions.

The situation that Chelsea is facing makes Real Madrid not afraid of the strength of its opponent, especially in the meeting between the two teams last season, Real Madrid was able to beat Chelsea, which has a stronger team depth than this season. Real Madrid must take advantage of the weaknesses of Chelsea and the Santiago Bernabeu atmosphere to win, the results of the first leg will help them make it easier when away to Stamford Bridge.
Whatever Chelsea's current problems are, I'm not 100% sure Real Madrid can deal with them.

AC Milan vs Napoli is a game that is difficult to predict, all of this is inseparable from the surprising results of the last match of the two teams when AC Milan was able to win big over Napoli.
and also this is a Champions League match, Napoli is a team that doesn't have the mentality as strong as AC Milan on the European stage.
Even if Milan really punished Napoli too hard in the previous match, but in the Champions League I think things will be very different. The atmosphere of the Champions League competition is very tight, so I hope this match will be the most difficult for anyone to predict.

Talking about possibilities, then I think Milan have good possibility for the first leg. Milan are playing at home, that will give them slight advantage over Napoli, but I'm not sure if Stefano Pioli can continue his good record today. Napoli are strong team, so I hope there is a lot of impact in the match when they have Victor Osimhen.
You are right, even though AC Milan won a landslide victory in their last match does not mean they will be able to do the same in this match. The Champions League is much more different, in terms of mentality and experience it is clear that Ac milan is ahead of Napoli, but again that is not a guarantee they will win. Napoli also definitely don't want them to lose for the second time in their 2 meetings. It's really interesting to see 2 clubs that are in the same local competition meet in the more prestigious Champions League. They will go all out to represent Serie A in the final later.




Whatever Chelsea's current problems are, I'm not 100% sure Real Madrid can deal with them. Real Madrid have good experience in the Champions League, but Chelsea is a team that also has the good mentality to present tough competition. I know we (Real Madrid) are stronger, but when you realize that Chelsea have quality players then no one will underestimate them today.
That would never have been in the minds of the entire Real Madrid team from the players to Carlo Ancelotti as coach.
It is possible that Ancelotti will fail this time to present the UCL trophy to Real Madrid even though the focus on Europe's biggest tournament is very large after La Liga has lost hope.

Maybe you won't agree with what I'm saying, but I'm sure you believe that anything is possible in this tournament even though Real Madrid is a club with a good record in terms of winning the UCL trophy.

By the way, I'm sure Real Madrid can accomplish their mission against Chelsea.
Real Madrid is better than Chelsea, but they must not underestimate Chelsea, because if they do then disaster will come to them. We know this season Chelsea played far from what was expected. The 2 times sacking the coach gave the impression that they could be said to have failed this season. The Champions League is their only hope, but their journey is not easy because they have to face Real Madrid, who have a good record when they are in the Champions League. I just want to see how far Chelsea will go at their current state.

The bookmakers are fully in favor of a Real Madrid victory today. I agree that they are the favorite, they will play at the Santiago Bernabeu and in my opinion the Chelsea team should play to try not to lose or concede as few goals as possible to try to win and qualify when they play in England.
It seems to me an almost impossible task to beat Real Madrid in these conditions. Especially with a change of coach.
The Real Madrid team may not be first in La Liga, but the team is excellent, well-structured, and the focus is entirely on the UCL.

The match between Milan x Napoli will be VERY balanced, two Italian teams, it is not a huge advantage to play at home, unlike when playing in other countries.

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.

All teams at the top all have a glorious past, but Inter Milan and Manchester City have taken a giant step towards the semi-finals. Who can actually stop this Manchester City team? Bayern Munich was dangerous just after the break yesterday, but failed to score a goal. Otherwise it is 1-1 and you get another real game. Important for City that they managed to score the 2nd and 3rd goal. That pass from Haaland at the 2-0 was also of great class. That also indicates that he is absolutely not selfish, because he could have gone for his own success. It's a pleasure to turn to City's machine, and the machine's name is Guardiola.
Bayern Munich's fatal mistake was rushing to change coaches, especially before the match vs Man City (Man City is a club that is doing very well at the moment). In fact, a new coach usually needs a lot of time to adapt to the new club he is fostering even though the coach is a great coach. Apart from that, Bayern Munich sometimes they like this, when they have underperformed in the Quarter Finals. Bayern Muchen in leg 2 must strengthen their defense again, don't make too many mistakes at the back. Indeed, materially, Inter's players above Benfica's players can be seen that Otamendi's absence has really affected Benfica.

Real Madrid is indeed a better team than Chelsea due to their respective league performances, but Chelsea cannot be ruled out of the game automatically because they also have good players who have enough experience in the Champions League.

Real Madrid is also not in its best form so far this season, but their Champions League vast experience will make them the favorites of today's match, but remembering how Chelsea strive to succeed in their first Champions League glory season in 2012 make me think otherwise, but let us see as the game ends.
It looks like the match between Real Madrid vs Chelsea will be very fierce from start to finish because both teams have their own targets. Real Madrid wants to defend the UCL title as well as aiming for the 15th UCL trophy, while Chelsea wants to become the UCL champion this season so that they can automatically qualify for next season's UCL. because Chelsea's chances of being able to finish in the top 4 of the English league standings this season are very difficult. However, my prediction is Real Madrid 2-0 Chelsea.

There are two good matches in the Champions League tonight. But I will prefer to watch the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea. Real Madrid were left out of the title race in La Liga. That's why the Champions League should be an important lane for them. In fact, Chelsea have the same syndrome this season. However, they are in a worse condition. That's why I see Real Madrid as the favorite in this match. However, in the last matches, Real Madrid have not been able to achieve good results in the league either. So Real Madrid are close to victory in this match. But it is not easy for me to make a precise prediction about the outcome of the match.Also, the Frank Lampard era at Chelsea has just begun. They got a bad result in their first game in the league. But coach changes always add positive momentum to teams. I have a lot of uncertainty about this match in my head. Cheesy
