Tottenham lost to Sporting in the 90mins. Spurs were on course for a point before Sporting hit two goals in the dying seconds. Although they created most of the early chances of the game but were not as clinical in front of the goal as they would have liked. Imo I think they needed that loss, they have been playing all season but somehow getting results. Hopefully, this will wake them up.
Tottenham dominated possession but sporting always looked dangerous on the break and almost took the lead through Marcus hopefully they will bounce back

I don't understand why the Bayern Munich management sacked Nagelsman. Nagelsman was a good enough coach. And Bayern Munich's performance was not weak. Even so, the Munich management decided to fire Nagelsman. Potter, on the other hand, has had plenty of time to stabilize his team. But he failed completely. Chelsea management should have taken the decision to sack Potter earlier. However, Nagelsman looks more likely to be Chelsea's coach. Because Chelsea can't find an experienced coach like Nagelsman at the moment. If Nagelsman becomes the coach of Chelsea, I believe he can stabilize the team.
You cannot eat your cake and have it, Potter don't have enough time to make a come back, they were having hard time in Premier League, they had hard time in FA cup, the only place they had hope is Champions League here and they will be challenging Real Madrid, an opponent team that they couldn't beat the last time they met, if I am the owner of Chelsea, he deserved to live the club with immidiate effect. Nagelsman is yet to make any official statement regarding his sack, may be it is similar to what happen to Tuchel when he was in Chelsea.Given Chelsea's disappointing performances in every Premier League match, the chances of them doing well in the Champions League are slim. If not for their opponents in the Champions League, Real Madrid, Chelsea would have had a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. However, Madrid is a very experienced opponent. And Madrid's chances of winning the La Liga title are slim. So they will try their best to win the Champions League title. This is why it is impossible for Chelsea to perform well against Madrid without an experienced coach. My guess is that Chelsea will lose both matches against Madrid.
I feel sorry for Osimhen for trying to impress the Super Eagles and yet he couldn't score any goals in the two appearances, and the injury I fear for in the first place later happen to him, I hope he recovered from the injury quickly after seeing what Napoli played in Seria A 2 days ago. I fear that Napoli might not make it through the quarter-final, they conceded 4 goals with a clean sheet from Milan, which is something of concern for the club, they have not won a single match hosted both home and away against Milan, I am even having doubt that even if Osimhen is present, they will still end up losing that match.
Your concern may indeed be the case. but I personally have no worries about it. Even now, it is said that Osimhen only suffered a minor injury and he did take more time off so he could perform optimally in the Champions League quarter-finals against Milan. AC Milan actually suffered more defeats than Napoli last season. and even from the last 5 meetings of the two teams we can see Napoli winning with 3 wins. while Ac Milan only won 2 times. I believe Luciano Spalletti knows exactly what he has to do to win matches in the Champions League. The situation with Potter had become unsustainable and everyone was mad about it, the fans did not liked Potter probably since the very beginning and the lack of results made this even worse, the players were skeptical and finally even the people at the top at Chelsea had to give in, and while late they had no other option, however this will make even harder to achieve victory on the Chelsea they will sustain with Real Madrid next week.
next week will be the toughest week for Chelsea because chelsea will travel to the bernabeu in the first leg of the quarter-finals. Chelsea are in a bad situation in the few matches they have played, especially this week Chelsea fired the coach again, of course in the next game Chelsea will be under the direction of Saltor who is Chelsea's interim coach.it is likely that Real Madrid will benefit from Chelsea recent instability, even Real Madrid is not an arbitrary team in the ucl because it is so strong in every match. maybe the percentage of real madrid chances in the first leg to win the game will be bigger because their current squad has no injured players and all the core players are in pretty good condition like Benzema who is back sharp on the front lines.
Seeing Chelsea's bad condition plus the dismissal of coach Graham Potter could be good news for Real Madrid to use this momentum to maximize their attacks and win at the Santiago Bernabeu later. Especially for Chelsea, this will be a deja vu moment for Chelsea because they met in the quarter-finals. Precisely for the 2021-2023 season, Chelsea must be eliminated from the competition after being defeated in a row in two legs. And it is possible for real madrid to dominate the match because from statistics alone real madrid is superior to Chelsea, so that later Real Madrid will still be the better team on paper and they will be the favorites in this match.
Napoli needs to learn from the last match against ac milan. Ac milan knew so well about which was the weakness of napoli.
Imagine Napoli losing to Milan in Champions League that would be a big disaster for them. They already got destroyed one time in Serie A. That would be huge disappointment.
About Osimhen I hope he'll recover and bounce back from this. Napoli needs him. Without him it's hard to win games for Napoli.

AC Milan vs. Napoli is another fascinating matchup. At their base, Napoli, which has been very consistent in the Serie A and Champions League, lost by a wide margin of 0-4 to AC Milan. Napoli holds a commanding lead in the Serie A standings, the defeat before their first-leg match will have some psychological effects on both teams. AC Milan at San Siro will be more certain and less constrained. Napoli needs to refuel its lineup and does not feel invincible. Before the first leg with AC Milan, they can regain their confidence in the match with Lecce.
Napoli needs to learn from the last match against ac milan. Ac milan knew so well about which was the weakness of napoli. I hope that osimhen will able to play again. It's very bad to see that if osimhen got injured due to the participated in the international match. I thought that if napoli should have prevented him to participate in the international match by saying that if he got injured. His performance is really important for napoli. It makes napoli was in a difficult situation after it has got beaten by ac milan. Spalletti thinks about which thing that has become the major weakness from napoli. The defenders of napoli played so badly against acmilan. There are so many blunders that are already made by napoli's players.
There will be some adjustments to the napoli's odd. I never expected napoli to lose against ac milan with big scores like that.
I think if they wanted to fire Potter they had to fire him weeks ago because even if they hire another coach to start working on Chslea he will need some time to work with the team and change the mistakes Potter did in this team which will need some time while only two weeks left for Chelsea to face Real Madrid in a tough game which can be even harder if they have a new coach who is not familiar with the team.
They should do that weeks ago but it happened and they can not revert time to change anything. So far they have yet appointed a new coach and this action puts their competitiveness in quarter final in big questions. They don't have good performance in this season especially recently and it's hard for me to find positive signals from Chelsea before big matches with Real Madrid.it is likely that Real Madrid will benefit from Chelsea recent instability, even Real Madrid is not an arbitrary team in the ucl because it is so strong in every match. maybe the percentage of real madrid chances in the first leg to win the game will be bigger because their current squad has no injured players and all the core players are in pretty good condition like Benzema who is back sharp on the front lines.
Without latest instability and changes in Chelsea, Real Madrid are already stronger than Chelsea. Latest matches of both clubs in La Liga and Premier League only make me think that Real Madrid have bigger chance to beat Chelsea than a few weeks ago. Real Madrid just got their best attacking power back with Benzema is on fire again. Vinicius Junior is simply unstoppable with his youth strength, speed and dribbling skills. In addition, he and Benzema find each other very well especially Vini with many good passes for Benzema. 
next week will be the toughest week for Chelsea because chelsea will travel to the bernabeu in the first leg of the quarter-finals. Chelsea are in a bad situation in the few matches they have played, especially this week Chelsea fired the coach again, of course in the next game Chelsea will be under the direction of Saltor who is Chelsea's interim coach.

Last night Chelsea still not lucky after held draw with Liverpool and chance for finishing on top fourth standing in Primer League almost difficult with 9 games left. I don't sure with Chelsea appearance on Champion League against Real Madrid exactly first leg will play in Bernabeu Stadium, Chelsea not winning in last three games after two draw and one loss from Aston Villa and have one match in domestic league against Wolves before away against Real Madrid.it is likely that Real Madrid will benefit from Chelsea recent instability, even Real Madrid is not an arbitrary team in the ucl because it is so strong in every match. maybe the percentage of real madrid chances in the first leg to win the game will be bigger because their current squad has no injured players and all the core players are in pretty good condition like Benzema who is back sharp on the front lines.
Real Madrid on the top perform last several matches, last games bigger winning score from Valladolid make them confidence prepare for Champion League match, but have el clasico match tomorrow will give physical effect for their player actually if loss from rival team Barcelona and eliminated on Copa del Rey.

Because Chelsea can't find an experienced coach like Nagelsman at the moment. If Nagelsman becomes the coach of Chelsea, I believe he can stabilize the team.
Bayern is a top club and it's not enough for them to be good or good enough. All top clubs need top results, and with last year's loss to Villarreal, even Bayern's excellent performance (at the time of Nagelsmann's dismissal) in the Champions League looked weak against the backdrop of the situation in the Bundesliga.
The only thing that surprised me was the timing, but this seems to be due to the fact that Bayern wanted Tuchel and insured themselves that he would leave for another club before he was hired.
Baern Munich had only one game after they started working with Tuchel but during this game, I saw them perform much better than I was expecting they had a plan for every minute of the game while when Nagelsmann was coaching this team I remember they sometimes had bad performance against weak teams. On the other hand, I wanted to see these two teams face each other in a semi-final or final match because it's too soon to say goodbye to Manchester City.
And what would you say now that they lost against Freiburg in a home game? They had a lot of ball possession, but they couldn't turn it into real chances. Also the game against Dortmund was a lot of luck as well as Kobel made such a huge mistake and then Bayern used the momentum for themselves. It went the way they could have only wished for. Against Freiburg they lacked efficiency, effectiveness and creativity. When Nagelsmann was the coach, all three titles were still possible. Now Tuchel is the coach and one title is already gone. Now let's wait for the Champions League games against Manchester City and my bet is that another title will be gone for Tuchel.
The situation with Potter had become unsustainable and everyone was mad about it, the fans did not liked Potter probably since the very beginning and the lack of results made this even worse, the players were skeptical and finally even the people at the top at Chelsea had to give in, and while late they had no other option, however this will make even harder to achieve victory on the Chelsea they will sustain with Real Madrid next week.

Before their Serie A match that was played at the Diego Armando Maradonna stadium last weekend I was already tipping Napoli to comfortably eliminate AC Milan the two clubs meet in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals encounter but after Milan thrashed Napoli I had to have a rethink because that result is surely gonna have psychological effect on the both clubs as AC Milan will believe that if they can beat them in the league they can also beat them in UCL. However, Napoli's fine form this season cannot be underestimated and if they can put that weekend result aside they can still win the tie

I think Chelsea's chances will change after Chelsea sacked Graham Potter recently. Chelsea's game today was good against Liverpool, but they are still struggling to score goals. If the interim coach is able to find a solution to this shortcoming, it is not impossible that Real Madrid can be beaten. The team's confidence has improved as seen today, but some adjustments are expected.To be honest, the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match has become even more interesting to look forward to since Potter was sacked. There is new hope from Chelsea to undermine Real Madrid's dominance in the Champions League. But anyway, would never say it was easy for Chelsea to beat Real Madrid.

Correct. psychologically AC Milan of course now their players will have higher self-confidence after successfully beating Napoli with a very large score. but for the Champions League I think Napoli have prepared something that might be a surprise for AC Milan. but with high confidence Milan should be more difficult to overcome. 
Today's match between Bournemouth vs Brighton was very interesting and I hope that all Bunamoth fans will know that Bournemouth is never a small team 👥 for them, like what had on the field was great Ferguson scored the first goal for his team in 27 minutes and that was the first half, the second half of the match was also the same 90+ another goal was inside the net of Brighton with the help of Enciso, Bournemouth was only given a chance for changer on the second half.
The order of clubs entering the Champions League was altered after Russian teams were banned. In the qualifying rounds, I dont anticipate any major surprises. The next round will be safe for Benfica. The draw for Monaco-PSV Eindhoven is somewhat unlucky. In the fourth round I believe Trabzonspor is the team to watch because they are currently the best-performing Turkish team and could unexpectedly advance to the group stage
Your post makes no sense. Benfica is not safe, they are playing with Inter. That will be a very competitive match-up.
Monaco and PSV Eindhoven don't even play in Champions League anymore. Qualifying rounds were in August. Trabzonspor played in Conference League and got eliminated. This post is probably plagiarism from earlier pages or other threads. I'll try to find out the source.
Edit: It's twisting words from second post. It wasn't hard to find.
After banning of Russian teams, order of teams going to Champions League changed. I don't expect huge surprises in qualifying rounds. Benfica will safely go next round. Monaco-PSV Eindhoven is little bit unlucky draw. At 4th round I think best team to look for is Trabzonspor, they are best performing Turkish team right now and may do surprise to go Group Stage.

Nagelsman is yet to make any official statement regarding his sack, may be it is similar to what happen to Tuchel when he was in Chelsea.I think that's an important aspect of the trade we need to look into, Potter. That guy alone just makes all of this make sense, because he was so bad, everyone really looks like a good candidate, I look like a good nominee compared to him, dude was horrible.

Am trying so hard to recall if I did watch the first leg between those two. How could Napoli have lost by that margin! Napoli with this standing,,,, that's absurd. Anyway, the second leg will surely be some match to watch because, Napoli won't be disposed to loosing twice, naas that cabr happen but, ee would see an AC Milan that would be looking at not losing at least, confident in the fact that, they did best th either such margin in their first encounter and that creates in them the idea of they can hold them and maybe not let them advance their lead and dominance in the league. Still I would expect Napoli to win. Jump to:
