You're right many bets were lost because of Benfica, Benfica had some good opportunities which they should have used very well in that match, but they were not lucky. Different with Inter which could make the most of their opportunities very well, this result was surprising Inter back to home Italy with a happy.
Great performance from Manchester City with score 3-0, I don't think Bayern Munich can make a surprise in the second leg, although ball possession Bayern Munich better in first leg and although Tuchel can rearrange his strategy in second leg.

This will bode well for Inter as they have shown great results in the game. Of course, for Leg 2, they won't waste it. Benfica was a bit of a let down as it left everyone hoping for his performance. The same goes for Napoli who also can't seem to underestimate Milan. Because unexpected teams will surprise you in the match later. Real Madrid needs to anticipate Chelsea's game, which so far is considered not good but does not rule out the possibility of doing better in the Champions League.

It seems that the situation that happened to the Napoli camp was very unfavorable, Osimhen's injury was a loss for them to carry out this match. well, the situation changed. At first Napoli was superior to Milan, now it seems that the two teams are drawing each other. it's just that Milan is more fortunate to play at their own headquarters. yes, armed with a winning match in the domestic competition over Nopoli with a crushing score. making Stefano Pioli's squad have more motivation to win their matches in the Champions League again.

even so, I believe Luciano Spalletti has prepared his team to outsmart the problems they face. but, at least this match will be more interesting than the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match. but if I refer to the predicted Milan line-up, it looks like they will appear all out from the early minutes with an offensive game pattern. I suspect Milan will win this match, or else, the match will end in a draw.

It is true that Real Madrid can be said to have lost in the race for the La Liga title, but there are other titles such as the Copa Del Rey and also the Champions League that they still want to fight for this season. Let's return to the first leg match Real Madrid vs Chelsea, it's clear how we interpret the results of this match later. Real Madrid are still very consistent this season in almost all the champions league games and they have almost the same performance as last season and while Chelsea they were lucky enough to get rid of Dortmund in the round of 16 and if we look at the results of Chelsea's matches in the EPL, of course it is very bad which makes them now the occupants of the middle board. As for the outcome of the match, I have no doubt that Real Madrid will be ahead in the first leg and I will bet on a Real Madrid win for sure.

Thomas Tuchel played with the winger's ( Flanks ) which didn't go well for him, dropping Sadio Mane and Thomas Muller on the bench.
Leroy Sane had a better game as Gnabry was kept very silent all through through the game, Kingsley Coman was productive but damn, Bayern Munich defended so welk with exaggerating shit here.

Bayern Munich had good possession too but Manchester City bossed the midfielder's of Bayern Munich, the likes of Okay Gundogan, Kevin De Brunye and Royrigo all teamed up with Jone stone included to to support them in the middle.
The talented Musiala was well bodied and bullied just same way he was against Paris Saint Germans ( Sergio Ramos did more of that )

The second half was really crazy for Manchester City. They played like they were playing against Leipzig for example. Because they had a huge dominance and they could have even scored more goals than 3 in total. Haaland was the most impressive player in the second half for me. Because he made a much higher effort and got a performance of one goal and one assist. The goals in this half were very similar to each other as well by the way. Upamecano played a huge role in the 2nd goal as he made a simple mistake.

I think this stage is already over for Bayern Munich. I don't think they can come back from a 3-0 disadvantage. They don't have a player like Lewandowski who can be a hope for them about this tough task either. Manchester City deserve to advance completely.

As we all know, Chelsea are in apprehensive condition, but they will try hard to show their best in the Champions League. This competition is the only chance for them to salvage a ruined trip this season and it is certain that Chelsea will play their best in the game later.

Of course, with high focus and concentration, Chelsea will try to hold off Real Madrid's attacks or Chelsea will try to steal goals through counterattacks. although it is rather impossible to get a win in this match, I think Chelsea has prepared it for the match later. Moreover, Madrid and Chelsea both achieved disappointing results at the weekend. Both teams lost to their respective opponents in the league competition. Madrid is the favorite because it plays as a host and in front of its supporters. prediction maybe madrid will only win 1 - 0 or end in a draw

Benfica's defeat at home was a surprise that not many people would have predicted, if you look at Benfica's performance in its domestic league it is inversely proportional to Inter Milan's performance in Serie A, but this is how the UCL match is very difficult to predict.
I also lost a lot of bets in this match and this is a very disappointing result.
Nonetheless, congratulations must go to Iter Milan, they are very close to qualifying for the semi-finals now.

and in the Manchester City vs Bayern match, I watched this match Manchester City really played quite well, they were able to control the match quite well and the 3 goal victory they really deserved.

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.

Inter stepped into the quarter-finals after beating FC Porto 1-0 on aggregate. It was good for them even though their game was not considered good at that time.
Even though Inter's temporary position is superior with an aggregate of 2 goals, Benfica's statistics in away matches are quite good even though in the first leg they lost badly with 2 goals without reply.
Benfica will try to fight as hard as they can to be able to reply to these 2 goals in Italy.

Indeed Napoli have ambitions to avenge their defeat to AC Milan which occurred in Serie A.
If we say the atmosphere of the Champions League will be different from Serie A, do you agree?

I think many bets were lost because of Benfica, because it seemed that Benfica should win at home and odds of 2.3 seemed very good and almost perfect, but something went wrong. In contrast to Bayern, Benfica had chances here, but a penalty at the end broke the game and probably deprived Benfica of further chances.
At home Inter will probably play on defense and it will be difficult to score even one goal, let alone two, almost impossible.

So probably we can say that with a probability of 80% Inter and Manchester City will pass on.

Chelsea will face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the first league. UCL has two quarter-final matches today, but the center of attention will be the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea. Already favorites Real Madrid against Chelsea then the first league match will be held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium where Real Madrid have very good statistics.

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.

It's hard for me to see what chance Chelsea have of winning. The return of Lampard is unlikely to improve the London club's game quickly. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid are the favourites tonight, plus the game will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu, so I have no doubts about the Spanish club's victory.
But in the Benfica v Inter match, also a lot of people didn't believe in the Italians. This is the Champions League, so there could be a surprise from any team.

Inter managed to break predictions from several sites that provide football data and statistics in favor of Benfica being able to win against Inter. This victory is very important for Inter ahead of the second leg which will be played at the Giuseppe Meazza. Inter chances of qualifying for the semifinals are getting bigger. The direction of the second leg was predictable, Inter would defend their victory in the first leg to qualify for the semifinals of the final.

Napoli is experiencing a decline in performance ahead of the Big Match match vs Milan, the injury suffered by Victor Osimhen has greatly affected Napoli's recent appearance. Napoli had been slaughtered by Milan with a score of 4-0 in Serie A continued when Osimhen could not be played. In the match last weekend, Napoli benefited from an own goal to beat bottom team Lecce in the absence of Osimhen.

The problem with Napoli's attack line is getting more critical because Simeone is also injured, Spalletti is fully hoping for Giacomo Raspadori to fill the post in the attack which is supported by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lozano. Injuries to goal-hungry attackers have made it difficult for Napoli to score goals. Spalletti must be careful at Milan headquarters because they were humiliated by a landslide in their previous meeting in Serie A.

Today will be the most important game of the season for Real Madrid because they lost the league and they only have the Champions League. If they don't get an advantageous score in the Chelsea game, it may be the end of the road for Ancelotti.
Chelsea have not won their last 4 games. They changed their manager and Lampard is only there temporarily. It will be a very important game for both teams. If Chelsea don't lose here, they can return home with an advantage. That's why I think they will play more controlled. Real Madrid on the other hand will take risks to score and will be more aggressive.

The result against benfica played away is unpredictable. Intermilan was not dominating the match but intermilan was kicking portugal club again this time. The thing that surprises me is if benfica was not even able to make a goal when it was playing at home. The journey of intermilan is not ended yet. Intermilan must be facing benfica in san siro. Intermilan needs to be very careful in the second leg. Im sure that benfica will be going full offense against intermilan in the second leg. It's caused by benfica need to make as many goal as possible to be qualified for the semi final.

This is a very interesting match for us to see how benfica will able to change the situation. It needs more than a miracle to do that. Benfica needs to make 3 goals at least to win against intermilan.
Im not even sure if intermilan will not make any goals when it wil be playing at home. It seems like that benfica is in a very difficult moment. Benfica needs to take a big gamble by going all offensive against intermilan in san siro or give up.

It's not a wise choice for benfica to surrender against intermilan.

I didn't pay much attention to Milan and Benfica match because of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich match. But I was somehow surprised when I saw the hype in favour of Benfica against Milan. After seeing the hype I checked their stat but I could not come up with anything reasonable and that was how I abandoned the match and didn't predict it.
Benfica if they pass this stage has become a serious contender together with Napoli who is already pulling weights in the competition.

It's a difficult job when in the second leg match later for Bayern Munich's comeback it won't even be possible to win more than 3 goals, Manchester City really took advantage of this first leg match perfectly and that's thanks to Guardiola who is smart in managing strategy and tactics, I'm sure Manchester City will go to the next round of UCL semi-finals, but on the other hand City are not quite calm if Madrid the defending champions are still there, unless there is a miracle Chelsea beat madrid today.

The meeting between Napoli and Milan previously met in the Italian league match last week, Napoli was beaten 4-0 by Milan, so that will be a reference that Milan can win the first leg of the UCL quarter-finals today even though with a different atmosphere I think Napoli and Milan will be a good match, I bet that Milan will win narrowly or the final result will be a draw, while Madrid may have the upper hand to win because of Chelsea's not-so-good performance lately. but miracles always happen, no one knows and my bets are on Milan and Madrid

Manchester City's first goal was spectacular. Rodri scored a nice goal. And City's next two goals were quite easy. If Munich's defenders played well, Manchester City would not have scored the next two goals. I found Munich's defense completely out of whack in this match. They looked tired of fending off Manchester City's attacks. However, Munich's goalkeeper made several excellent saves. Otherwise, Munich would have conceded at least 5 goals in this match. The performance of Munich's attacking players was also very poor in this match due to poor defense.

Yes, Upamecano, I almost forgot about the Bayern Munich defender. He often made passing mistakes in the penalty area and sometimes held control of the ball for too long which resulted in blunders like the second goal scored by Bernardo Silva. On the other hand, Yann Sommer's performance was impressive with a few saves and it's just that Bayern Muchen's back line played so badly that Manchester City could take so many chances to convert into goals. For the second leg there is still little hope for Bayern Munich to turn around at home, but the percentage is very small. I hope that the two teams will continue to play openly so that the match becomes more exciting.
