Yes, this season Napoli have appeared extraordinary, in fact this season they are almost certain to seal the Serie A title. Likewise in the Champions League Napoli's chances of breaking into the final are very wide open. In the same chart, in the quarter-finals, Napoli was surrounded by a team full of experience on the European stage. But if you look at the performance this season, Napoli is not at all afraid of his opponent. Milan may be very weak in the eyes of Napoli, but not Inter if they are destined to meet in the semifinals.
A very good sortition for Napoli, they will almost certainly be able to beat Milan, whose game has deteriorated a lot lately, especially for Napoli this opponent is very familiar, so they have very good chances to reach the semi-finals.
If Napoli still manage to win the Champions League, it will be very unexpected for me, to be honest, it’s hard to believe even now.
They must be feeling so lucky that they are facing the team they are already leading in the league. Of course after a certain point the whole "you can't face a team from your own league" thing goes away and thanks to this Napoli will play against a team they have 15+ point difference to and must be feeling like they are much better.
Obviously, this is UCL and things are a bit different here and that is why they should stay vigilant and try to play better, because if they underestimate any team, doesn't matter if Milan or any other team, if you underestimate teams then you are going to end up with a loss no matter how better you are, so they need to work hard to win it anyway.
Well, when I saw Napoli with Milan, I felt something like that, because those two teams are my favorites at the moment in Italy, of course Napoli Because of their great performance and Milan because they have always been a team that is very big in Italy, since Paolo Maldini was there, Kaká, it is a team that means a lot to me, however I would have liked Napoli to meet Benfica Because they are very good teams and you can Measure Forces by The highest level and they are not From the same league, for me Real Madrid is going to take this back.
I don't think it's a matter of someone underestimating Benfica, but rather that forum members follow the Portuguese football league less and have no knowledge of Benfica's quality. I agree, Benfica is a very good team and they have their chances to reach the Champions League final, but I still give Napoli a better chance.
Also, regardless of the current problems, you should not underestimate Chelsea, who always play very well in the Champions League, and last year they caused a lot of problems for Real.
I expect that in the quarter-finals all the matches will be very uncertain, but I still give Real and Manchester City a small advantage.
I may agree with you about Benfica, but for once Benfica is not the favorite team to be expected to reach the Champions League final this season. Benfica could surprise in the quarter-finals even though they have been hugely underrated so far, but I just believe they will not be as strong as expected to qualify for the final.
As for Chelsea, I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to draw against Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge. Of course Chelsea should not be underestimated, but at the Bernabeu, we will really prove it again to qualify for the semi-finals. I don't really care about chances, but the play and the reality on the pitch is a great proof.
for the Inter Milan vs Benfica match, I am quite sure that I will favor Benfica. Benfica was even able to get away from the group qualifying round perfectly without defeat. even though at that time in their group there was PSG who was more favored but Benfica led the group until the end. and even in the round of 16 Benfica managed to win with an extraordinary aggregate.
while Inter Milan are currently even experiencing a slight decline in Serie A. and in the group qualifying round they suffered 2 defeats and in the round of 16 they also had a little difficulty qualifying for the quarter-finals. so for me Benfica will qualify for the semi-finals. but to get to the final I still doubt it.
Chelsea vs Real Madrid might be a match whose result we did not expect. although the majority favored Real Madrid. but yeah it's true we can't underestimate Chelsea. but I still have doubts about Graham potter who doesn't have much experience in the Champions League.
Well for me in particular if I would like Milan to win, and their team that really deserves it, is not doing very well in Serie A but in the UCL things can change and for the better, on the other hand with respect to the Madrid and Chelsea, I really doubt that Chelsea will beat Real Madrid, firstly because they are a team that have a lot of experience, they are well established, they know each other very well, and Ancelotti has made them grow much more, it's not that I'm underestimating Chelsea but really, how I see Chelsea right now, well, it's not so good, although anything can happen.
Real Madrid should sign €60 million striker next summer
Real Madrid’s squad depth is not the best. That has become clear through the course of the campaign, as they have struggled to perform at their peak level on a consistent basis. Of course, injuries have not helped the matter as well. But under ideal circumstances, fans would be hoping that they make multiple additions to their ranks in the summer.
One of the positions that seems to be in immediate need of reinforcements is striker. Karim Benzema’s form has taken a downturn this season, as he has struggled to remain fit for any consistent length of time.
