The favor factor to Napoli is huge. Benfica has also not achieved European success for a long time. Looking at the CL victory, Porto is the last team to win the CL under Mourinho's leadership. I thought somewhere around 2009. The chance is quite small that Benfica will do this, but the game against Inter Milan is a 50% game in which Benfica could really continue. And also important for the coefficient list that Benfica puts in a good result. For itself but also for competitor Porto. Napoli seems to me clearly too strong for Benfica and Inter Milan, but the differences are not extreme.

Benfica just sold some star players in winter transfer and one of sold players is Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea. With leak of best players in winter, I am doubtful that Benfica will be able to repeat success of Porto with Mourinho in 2003 - 2004 season, 19 years ago. They can beat Inter Milan but after that in semi finals and final match, I don't think Benfica will be strong enough to make other surprises.

Indeed, it can be said that Napoli has the upper hand seeing that the opponents they will face up to the final round are not that difficult. But indeed Benfica will be the only opponent who is serious enough if the two teams later meet in the semifinals. So far benfica has won consistently in both the league and the UCL. It is undeniable that these two teams will fight for a place in the final later, but indeed Napoli is slightly above Benfica. I think this will be an exciting match before the final slot is filled by one of these teams.

Napoli will have to meet AC Milan in quarter finals and they must win over AC Milan after two legs to go to semi finals. They are dominating Serie A but in knock-out matches in Champions League, AC Milan can make surprise. In addition, assume Napoli to be winner, their opponent in semi finals can be either Inter Milan or Benfica. With me, it is hard to choose a winner between Inter Milan and Benfica.

I believe in semi finals, if Napoli meet Inter Milan, they will have more difficult matches than if the opponent is Benfica. Meeting clubs come from a same domestic league is harder than meeting clubs from other leagues.

Potter's overall performance in the team, even after acquiring more new players, all prove futile and unproductive. This made everyone not rely on the team again. Chelsea has a good record in the Champions League, but not under the current coach. I doubt Potter has had any Champions League experience before now, and it will be difficult for him to beat Real Madrid easily. I'm hoping that the players' previous Champions League experience and individual brilliance will help them beat Real Madrid.

If potter keeps repeating the same mistake against madrid and i think that chelsea has no chance to beat madrid. Potter needs to learn about how to not change the formation in the middle of the game. This will also disrupt the tempo that already built by chelsea. Potter's substitution is really really bad. It was always making chelsea lose or draw. if chelsea was dominating the game potter shall let chelsea keep the tempo until the end of match.

It's very disappointing to see how potter was changing the players like potter has zero knowledge about football. Reece james, kovacic, and some old players of chelsea may become the players who will make the situation become different. There are bunch of complaints to the potter especially for how he was feeling satisfied when chelsea leads the game with only a single goal.

Potter is just like a clown for sure. The bad substitutions will be only destroy the concentration by players.

It's very disappointing how some of you folks keep underrating Real Madrid, the most successful team in the UCL, every other season. What is even funny is they are the defending Champions, and they even eliminated Chelsea last season but look how some people think they won't even make it past Chelsea Grin

Mehn! Do some of you folks even watch UCL?

In the past season, people underrated Real Madrid too but they made some shocked results and lifted the trophy eventually. Chelsea came closely to beat Real Madrid in a second leg of quarter final last season but Real Madrid pulled the match back and won over Chelsea after that. Their mentality is very strong, mentality of champions.

Things change in everything, including football; we all know that Real Madrid is the defending champions and that they eliminated Chelsea last season in the semifinals of the Champions League; I am not rooting for Chelsea to win the match, but I am attempting to make it clear that we should understand and see how poorly Real Madrid has performed so far in their league, which has proven to us that they are not in form and that anything can happen in the match.
Chelsea's chances of winning the matches are slim because they are also out of form this season, and with Real Madrid and Ancelotti's Champions League game experience, I don't think Chelsea can win.

Real Madrid are no longer stable and strong as same as in the past season but it is more about their performance in La Liga. In Champions League, their performance is mostly the same as the past season. Obviously their latest bad form in La Liga can make us doubtful about their ability to defending Champions League champion which they are holding. I don't know how they will perform in quarter finals, will their performance be better than theirs in La Liga?

However, Chelsea actually became much less stable and weaker than themselves in the past season. By that, they will have less chance to beat Real Madrid in this season, smaller than their chance in the last season.

Chelsea can only be scared of Real Madrid when we have injuries problem. Already there are rumors of Reece James going on another injury break and might possibly miss the clash. Only news like this are what I'm afraid off and not playing Real Madrid, didn't Kante own them in both legs? Winning man of the match when he was fit. If we have all our players on fit and on form then why should we be afraid of Real Madrid. Infact they should abe scared because if we destroy their dream of another champions league title then they got nothing to fight for since Barcelona is lifting the la Liga trophy this season.

A comparison of Chelsea's performance this season with Real Madrid gives a good idea of the weakness of the Chelsea team. Chelsea's performances have been completely erratic this season. With such erratic performances, they cannot expect to win against an experienced team like Real Madrid. Even if Chelsea's players are not injured, the team is far behind Madrid. I would say Chelsea has a chance to beat Madrid in this match if two of Madrid's key players, Vini and Benzema, are absent from the match due to injury. Also, I see no chance of Chelsea winning.

Well Chelsea, whether or not they have injuries, things are quite difficult, because it is Real Madrid who is going to play, it is not clear but they are one of the most Exciting teams in this competition, Chelsea is also one of the teams that more are famous now, it doesn't matter that they are doing badly in the PL,sometimes taking the reins of a team is not easy, I understand Poter, all the effort he has made, the players they have are very good and that It is something that can make a difference, partly things that happen in fútbol can be beautiful, Chesea can be a good surprise.

Graham Potter is making a mistake by not using £29m Chelsea speedster

Quote

After what was arguably one of the worst starts a manager could envision and losing faith of majority of the Chels’ faithful, Graham Potter was certainly feeling the heat. However Boehly and co. backed the Solihull native throughout and a change in formation eventually paid off. The football on the pitch was a lot more convincing leading to three wins and an unlucky draw before the International break could intrude. The victories also include emphatic wins over the German giants Borussia Dortmund, which saw Chelsea progress to the Quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League where they will yet again meet the defending champions, Real Madrid.

All in all, these are great matches that we will soon see in the quarterfinals of the Champiosn League. Real Madrid are clearly better off than Chelsea, but if you look at the market value of the players that represent Chelsea, Chelsea should be ahead. A few years ago, no one cared for Chelsea, and they just won the Champions League from scratch. And in the final they beat rivals Manchester City, so in theory it could be done. Real Madrid is a strong team, but it is not Bayern Munich or Manchester City. I think Real Madrid have a 60% chance of going through, and if you're in the semi-final anything is possible. Also with unattractive football.

Indeed, in football anything can happen but for this occasion I will be completely confident for Real Madrid compared to Chelsea. Maybe we can ignore Chelsea's results in the Premier League as well, but I will consider Potter's quality here, and to beat Ancelotti's tactics then of course it will not be easy for Potter to beat him.
So yes, if I do all the considerations then it looks like Chelsea's chances of beating Real Madrid are very low, if not nearly impossible. Also, even though I chose Real Madrid to win, but I'm not a Real Madrid fan and basically I prefer Premier League teams but for Chelsea at this moment I really doubt it.

Yes, it is certainly near impossible. Because even if Chelsea somehow managed to get an advantage in the first leg, which is very unlikely, I think Real Madrid will still come back very strong in the second leg. There might be some questions about the Real Madrid attacking lineup. But I believe that is not going to be a problem. At least not against a team like Chelsea which is not performing well at all. If Chelsea does manage to beat Real Madrid, it is going to be a big surprise.

But if later Milan manages to beat Napoli in the quarter-finals, this will obviously be a very extraordinary surprise because they are not the favorite now. Indeed it will be very epic, it's just that many don't expect too much because with the current conditions it is clear that Napoli have the upper hand and I still believe they are the strongest candidate for the final compared to Milan.

I tend to separate Champions League games from domestic league results since both can go in a separate ways and the underdog could beat the favourite team.
Napoli is indeed in its best shape if not the best since many years while Milan is in its worst period and fighting to secure a Champions League spot next season if not any European competition spot. Odds aren't that big between them in San Siro but what I believe to happen is to see a match without a big goal difference between the two.

The Napoli team has turned into a formidable team at the moment. The performance of the team is indeed commendable. Because the team is able to ensure victory by performing their best in every match. At present, the performance of the team is expected to do well.

Real Madrid have really taken themselves seriously in the Champions League this season and the team has really performed well in the entire league so far. The Real Madrid team has a good chance of reaching the final of the Champions League.

This season seems a little harder for Real Madrid to get into the Champions League final unless Real Madrid can beat one of the teams that won the Bayern Munich vs Manchester City match. And as has been seen in its own domestic league, Real Madrid this season has been very far behind in points with its eternal rival, namely Barcelona in this season's La Liga standings. So this season Real Madrid will be a little difficult to get to the Champions League Final because Real Madrid's condition is starting to look different than last season.

Well, if we look at Real Madrid and try to rate them based on there performance in the laliga, we might as well see them for a team that has no chance at any trophy right now. A team that couldn't even manage it to beat Real Betis, with every player on the team looking frustrated and hope they could win the champions league, they don't have a chance for sure.
Fortunately for Real Madrid, they are an entirely different team when playing in the Champions league. We saw how they eliminated Liverpool when we believed them to be in good form. They did beat them home and away without Liverpool even managing to get a goal.
Real Madrid remains armed to the teeth and could still win the champions league trophy if there team remains fit at least.

The reference this time may be seen from their match which will be held next week in the continuation of Serie A.
If Milan can keep up with or even outperform their chance, they still have a chance for this, although of course Napoli's concentration will obviously be full on the Champions League, but if they fail to score points on Matchday 28 in Serie A then Milan's chances for the Champions League are clearly closed ithink.

It is doing very well, but I think it is deserved and in my opinion Milan needs to vindicate itself, also a final between Real Madrid and Milan is what I would love, and I also think that this is the final that most wants to happen according to Ancelotti, It would be epic because they are two great teams that could have every chance of winning the UCL title. Napoli is a very strong team and that is why I would like Milan to beat them and go much further, of course Real Madrid you have to do your part.

But if later Milan manages to beat Napoli in the quarter-finals, this will obviously be a very extraordinary surprise because they are not the favorite now. Indeed it will be very epic, it's just that many don't expect too much because with the current conditions it is clear that Napoli have the upper hand and I still believe they are the strongest candidate for the final compared to Milan.

I also consider that real Madrid is one fo the candidates to be in the final as previously. But I cannot guarantee it because there are also some potential clubs. Moreover, the club has Benzema that issomtimes being injured and not in their best performance.
But there, Napoli and one of Bayern or Man City also becomes a big candidates to bein the final. This will be interesting again and again

I'm afraid Chelsea don't have much place to run in this round of the Champions League. Real Madrid should be able to eliminate them without serious difficulties. If we were watching the same Chelsea with Tuchel in the previous years then I wouldn't have been so sure of that. But now they are just an unreliable team to me and most of us surely. Potter still can't make an important level of impact on the team.

Potter's overall performance in the team, even after acquiring more new players, all prove futile and unproductive. This made everyone not rely on the team again. Chelsea has a good record in the Champions League, but not under the current coach.

They don't drop stitches at all, both in the CL and in the national competition they chop everything that comes their way and the game is also very nice to watch. I think Napoli can make it to the final, but AC Milan is a cunning and experienced opponent. It would be a shame if Napoli just played 2 lesser matches against AC Milan and then flew out. On the other hand, AC Milan has also lost connection with the European top, so they can also use a little success.

As much as I love an underdog story, I don't think Napoli would be able to win the final. According to my predication, Napoli will get to the final, they'll defeat both of the Milan teams to get there. That is if Inter Milan makes it to the semis because to me the Inter vs Benfica fixture is the most difficult to predict. A perfect 50/50 match.
The way i see it, the only club Napoli can actually win in the final is Chelsea and its highly unlikely for Chelsea to make it to the final. Either of Bayern or Man City will defeat Napoli in the final. If Madrid also makes it to the final they will defeat Napoli. I'm mot saying it is impossible for Napoli to win the champions league this season but their chances are too slim.

Real Madrid have really taken themselves seriously in the Champions League this season and the team has really performed well in the entire league so far. The Real Madrid team has a good chance of reaching the final of the Champions League.

Chelsea have pretty good players, it's just that they are not in the hands of a great coach. Chelsea this season has been very different, now they are no longer considered a team to be feared in Europe. Since switching ownership, Chelsea seems to have lost its soul.

That's why there are bunch of people complaineds about him to the chelsea and they wanna see potter to be sacked but consider chelsea has been agreed to make potter's contract to be the biggest contract that has ever signed in the history of football and chelsea thinks for twice before decide to sack him.
That proves that if todd has zero knowledge about football. He was wasting bunch of money for useless coach like him instead of signed the old one with so many experiences like the special one.

Quote from: uswa56 on March 26, 2023, 01:17:55 PM

You have to look at different aspects of Chelsea at the moment. I don't think it's appropriate to compare the Chelsea of then to the Chelsea of now.

Chelsea under tuchel is always going all offensive and it's played so well compared to when chelsea was under tuchel. Even though when chelsea was changings all of its midfielders with defensive midfielders and this club was still able to concede a goal to its opponent. The fact that if chelsea is still weak at this moment. Just because it was getting three wins in a row and it doesn't mean chelsea already back again to its best performance again.

The favor factor to Napoli is huge. Benfica has also not achieved European success for a long time. Looking at the CL victory, Porto is the last team to win the CL under Mourinho's leadership. I thought somewhere around 2009. The chance is quite small that Benfica will do this, but the game against Inter Milan is a 50% game in which Benfica could really continue. And also important for the coefficient list that Benfica puts in a good result. For itself but also for competitor Porto. Napoli seems to me clearly too strong for Benfica and Inter Milan, but the differences are not extreme.

Benfica has been the dark horse of the UEFA Champions League competition this season and they'll want to progress beyond the quarter final stage which is they'll be a hard nut to crack for Napoli
But Napoli knows what is at stake already and I think they're equal to the task. The attacking and entertaining style of football we have seen so far from the Napoli team this season makes one of the best teams remaining in the competition and judging by their own route to the final this season, I'll be very shocked not to see them play in Istanbul come May
