When Chelsea was drawn against Dortmund, many people overlooked Chelsea's superior performance in the Champions League compared to Dortmund's superior performance in the domestic league. In the end, we saw Chelsea triumph over them despite losing the first leg match. Experience counts in this league, which is why it's called the League of Champions.

The only team that has a strong mentality will be winning the match but the next match gonna be so difficult for chelsea caused by chelsea was losing against madrid last year and this is three times in a row chelsea is always facing madrid. It seems like that chelsea has become its main rivalry by madrid in the champion league. The domestic league performance by chelsea is very disappointing for me to be honest by getting a draw against some weak teams. Potter is not having a lot of strategies when it comes to substituting its players. Chelsea can't use the same method against dortmund when it will be facing real madrid. Seeing how difficult chelsea to make its comeback in stamford bridge makes me believe that real madrid is a bit superior compared to chelsea.

Chelsea was almost making it by going to the next round if it's not caused by the goal in additional time that was eliminating chelsea last season. Chelsea will face king of UCL three times including upcoming duel.
As a former coach of chelsea and i think that if ancellotti is also aware about what's gonna be a weakness of chelsea.

Ancelotti urged its players to be careful against chelsea.

4 nice matches in the quarterfinals. And yes, City did not hit it with the draw, but of course not Bayern either. But that those 2 would meet each other was inevitable. Perhaps also nice that it is not the final yet. Benfica is also priced by many people, but Napoli has shown much more than Benfica so far in this tournament? Napoli may have a slightly lower level than City, but it has enough chances to get the final in every gauge. And then you can look further from there.

What are you saying here, it is very difficult to understand every word of your comment. The words are too convoluted, can you arrange them more neatly to make it easier for other users to understand the meaning of your comments. City and Munich are two great teams that make them have to beat each other to secure tickets to the semifinals. A draw is not the target of the two teams. They will avoid the penalty shootout to ensure themselves deserve to be in the next round.

Napoli and Benfica were the biggest surprises in the UCL this season, the performances of the two exceeded expectations which made the competition in the UCL even more interesting. Real Madrid still has a good chance because the opponent is facing a team that is in a slump. It is not difficult for Madrid to finish a match against an inconsistent team in the Premier League.

I have other thoughts about Benfica. that is, I see that Benfica can actually be more favored than Napoli. yeah I know Napoli were amazing since the group stage and in the last 16. and in Serie A also Napoli is amazing. but let's see that Benfica actually has a better record in the Champions League from the group stage to the round of 16. Benfica has never lost. even in the group stage the opponents that benfica faced were strong teams like PSG and Juventus. but Benfica continues to show extraordinary achievements. as if they were unstoppable. even in the Portuguese league Benfica only had 1 defeat.

AC Milan are bigger European Competitive sides than Napoli especially when it comes to the Champions League football, they currently have bout three to four Champions League, but with current form, whoever writes Napoli off is simply cynical.
They're the best side in the world the most consistent side who have scored more goals and conceded lesser too, they have shown desire and dedication from the back on how they're just focused on winning alone.

If it finally comes to the Champions League next round, I'm not giving a final conclusion on who wins but then, I'm backing Napoli to knock Ac Milan who struggled to get three points against Udinese.

Yes, while Napoli seemingly is the stronger team compared with AC Milan. I would not exactly write off the capabilities of AC Milan. Obviously, their performance hasn’t been the best lately but I would t still write them off. After all, they’re survived this long and has come this far to the Quarter finals in the champions league.
Despite all that, I still think Napoli being and playing at their best this season, would win the game against AC Milan. I think both team are likely to score goals but Napoli, in my view would come out the victor in the game. There isn’t any doubt.

I think, Manchester city will defeat Bayern Munich 2-0 to qualify for semi final because they will not joke with their opportunity in this match than to do what will bring them victory at the end of the match. I don't think, Bayern Munich defenders can stop Haaland and other strikers not to have access to their goalpost to score goals because no matter how prepared Bayern Munich players prepare, Manchester city will definitely achieve victory from this match. There is a hope for Napoli to defeat AC Milan in this quarter final round, because Napoli performance are very good in this season.

All the teams in the quarter-final round are very strong. There is no opportunity to think of any party as weak here. I think every team that qualified for the quarter-finals has the potential to qualify for the semi-final round. However, if we compare the performance of AC Milan with Napoli, then Napoli will be ahead. Because AC Milan's performance has deteriorated. This team has not won in the last three matches. In this situation, it is much more difficult for them to win the Champions League against Napoli. I decided to bet Napoli to win the first leg. Because it's Napoli's home match. Hope the Napoli team does not disappoint their fans.

The eight teams that have qualified for the quarter finals in the UEFA Champions League are very strong. Each team is very strong as an opponent. And every team qualified for the semi-finals. Relatively few teams will be ahead in the semi-final race.
First let's come to Real Madrid vs Chelsea match, Chelsea is one of the best team in English Premier League but Real Madrid will be ahead of Chelsea in Champions League. That means Real Madrid will qualify for the semi-finals between Real Madrid vs Chelsea. Man City vs Bayan Munich In this match I will put Bayan Munich ahead of Manchester City. Because they are very good at countering it. In comparison between Bayern Benfica vs Inter, Inter Milan will be ahead especially their performance in Italian league is really amazing. And one more match is Milan vs Napoli, Napoli qualified for the quarter finals in the Champions League for the first time. I want Milan vs Napoli to qualify for the semi finals.

Madrid will be the favorite in Real Madrid vs Chelsea match. Because even though the Chelsea team is strong, their performances this season have been erratic. The new coach has not stabilized the team yet. And if the performance is unstable, it will become more difficult to win against a big team like Real Madrid. Madrid coach Ancelotti is very smart. He knows very well how to prepare a Champions League match strategy.

The Munich vs Manchester City match is the most high-voltage match of the quarter-finals. These two teams are very strong. Both are in good form. Both the attacking players are in great form. So I think it is impossible to make predictions about this match.

Benfica vs Inter Milan is my choice for Benfica. Although Inter Milan team looks strong. But in Serie A I saw Inter Milan's performance. Their performance is weak and erratic. So I think Inter Milan will not be able to win against Benfica.

With the way Napoli is performing this season, it is impossible to predict the performance of the team. Even if the Napoli team wins the Champions League title, I won't be surprised. Napoli has the potential to win the Champions League title this season. Napoli's performance is very strong due to the great bonding between the players.

Manchester City don't have an easy job at all this time. Bayern Munich are still very strong after parting ways with Lewandowski. Their disciplined game plan helps them stay focused in the Champions League.

Bayern was always facing strong clubs since the group stages, unlike city which was getting easy groups. Bayern also eliminated PSG without any goal from PSG. Haaland is also seeing bayern as a nightmare for him caused by haaland never won against bayern in the bundesliga. Manchester city was able winning against bayern last season and bayern is seeking to do revenge against city. haaland must be carefully caused by neglesmann knows him so well and his play style.
Cancelo may also be able to play against his old club when he has not yet been loaned to the bayern.

I can't even wait to see the match between bayern against city, city will not able to see bayern in the same level as leipzig.

Can't wait to watch this match! It's going to be a thrilling experience for all football lovers out there. Man City seems to have the edge, being the favorites in this game. However, with that comes added pressure to come out on top. Bayern, on the other hand, will have the advantage of playing at home during the second leg, which could prove crucial in determining the final outcome. Bayern is always ready to take on the best teams in Europe. With their skills and determination, they're sure to give hard time Man City. Despite Man City's impressive performance over the years, luck hasn't seemed to be on their side when it comes to the Champions League. I have believe that they will be knocked out by Bayern at this stage of the campaign.

Manchester City are favored in this first leg because of the host factor it seems, and sometimes it does give an advantage for the hosts because they have the motivation and it will also be a great opportunity to make them superior in the number of goals, but unfortunately, the team they are facing this time is Bayern Munich which shows consistent performances in the champions league over this period.

City will try to score a lot of goals in this match but it's not an easy job because Bayern Munich is not Leipzig which they can destroy easily, I even see that in this match Munich will have a chance to win or at least draw, especially City's main striker is still doubtful to play because injured, the game is still around 19 days away but if Haaland doesn't play then City are quite at a disadvantage.

If you want to bet then bet on Munich even though they are the away team still have the ability to win and very interesting odds, @3.70 or a draw @3.90, odds on City @1.95, this will be an interesting match and everything can happen.

They have eliminated PSG new as you know. This is a really significant achievement despite playing against an amazing trio. Of course we didn't watch all of those three players at the same but still there were at least two of them. Manchester City have even a much stronger squad but they still need to play carefully not to let their opponent capture an advantage easily. I wonder how good Haaland would be this time. He is familiar with playing against Bayern Munich.

Am ure you get the point he is driving at because, having that much points with little chance that they could lose as much as 2 games should they lose at all. So far into the season, they've only lost 2 games. They very much are champions of the Serie A this season and there isn't any team to contest that from that standing.

Do I look like someone who's clueless about football to you?

Point is, they are not yet champions. Come on, stop handing out titles like you started watching football yesterday. I have been watching since early 2000s. They still have some games to go otherwise the scudetto would already be theirs by now, Mr Seria A champion's winner awarder. For starters, do you still remember what tragedy happened in the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 seasons?

Quote from: KTChampions on March 22, 2023, 11:36:00 AM

Do you doubt that Napoli became the champion? In order to "officially" complete the title, they need to score only 14 points in the remaining 11 games. And this is provided that Lazio will not lose points. It seems to me that in about 4 games Napoli will officially become the champion because Lazio will not win every game, and Napoli just need to be no worse than the pursuers (which is easy for them because they are better).

Here comes another one Grin

I am not about to waste time with this pointless arguments.

Milan can't stand a chance against Napoli. That should be obvious already I think. Because Milan are already struggling with the same issues. They are still bad at defending their opponents most of the time.

If their performance is still the same as in the Serie A, then it is absolutely true that Milan's chances of winning against Napoli are very small. Especially with their inconsistency. This is not a sure thing, but at least so far Napoli has been playing very well and consistently. it was just bad luck if they lost later. Milan is actually also a big club, but the problem is in their poor performance for the most part this season.

The champion league offers a totally different atmosphere all together and plus the fact that football is a game of strange and wonderful wonders, I wouldn't be surprise if Milan knocked out Napoli even with this poor form, I mean same thing is happening with sevilla in the Europa league , in the Spanish LA liga they are the worst team when its comes to performance but when the atmosphere is change they are beast and will defeat any opponent.

This is only a small possibility of the biggest possibility that Napoli will win in this match. The conditions are still the same as before, I think even if what you say is true because Milan could win in the Champions League, but the possibility is only small, especially by looking at their h2h in the last few meetings.
I think Napoli can easily qualify for the semi-finals later.

But like I said it didn't last long. Milan returned to the same look very quickly. I don't know what is wrong with them exactly. They haven't made a big change in the squad either.

It is just hard to understand the reason behind this performance. Teams like Liverpool and Chelsea are also having a very inconsistent season though. Sometimes big teams really can't make things working smoothly for them.

There must be reason why the performance from ac milan was declining so hard. The last match has proven how bad ac milan right now. The performance is steadily going down instead of going up. That was leaving us fear about ac milan will not able to go to the semi final caused by it must be faced by napoli. I wonder what people think regarding it. I do believe if most of the people will go for napoli instead of ac milan. Only loyal supporters who will be picking ac milan instead of napoli. Pioli said that if UCL was different with serie a.
This may be true as ac milan was focusing to go all in against napoli in serie a but it doesn't mean ac milan must also lose against another team too.

AC milan has been contacting enriique to replace pioli if ac milan will be losing against napoli. Pioli had no choice other than gave good result in UCL. If ac milan will be going out from UCL and that might be the end of his career in ac milan.
It's caused by ac milan is always monitoring the performance from club under him.

But champions league football is different from domestic league football and if carefully analysed we all know that Chelsea knows how to play in the competition better than Manchester City does and that's a reason why I think it'll be disrespectful to Chelsea as a club to totally write them off going into that tie

This is an important aspect that many people do not understand about the Champions League; it is a different league that is played differently by each team without taking their performance in the domestic league into consideration.

When Chelsea was drawn against Dortmund, many people overlooked Chelsea's superior performance in the Champions League compared to Dortmund's superior performance in the domestic league. In the end, we saw Chelsea triumph over them despite losing the first leg match. Experience counts in this league, which is why it's called the League of Champions.

I think saying Milan can't stand a chance is a bit too harsh as a pre-game assessment.

I agree with you that it is not looking very promising for Milan, but we have seen some surprises this season already not only in the Champions League, but also in the Europa League. Nobody would have thought that Braga can stand a chance against Arsenal in two games.

Last season it was Villareal against Bayern Munich. There haven't really been surprises in this season in the Champions League, but there is still some games to go. Sometimes games take some wild turns and weird events happen, like a goalkeeper makes a huge mistake or even receives a red card because he makes a bad move in the first 20 minutes. If both play their best, I agree that Napoli is going to make it.

Every day strange things happen in football. This thing are enough to give us reasons not to doubt the football possibilities. Liverpool in EPL we're doing exceptionally great after winning Manchester united, but meeting a club like zbobemouth who is already close in relegation zone.
What I'm saying in essence is that Bapoli can wake up not to see this match in their favor . AC Milan is also a well known giant team in Italy.

Manchester City are going to have a really serious test in this stage. Leipzig wasn't a very serious challenge for them to be honest. Yeah maybe the first leg finished very unexpectedly. But Guardiola knew what to do after that and we just saw Manchester City playing their usual game in the rematch. This brought about a huge victory and Haaland put on an incredible show at the same time.

Haaland is the key player for the Champions League title as well this season. Bayern Munich is one of the biggest obstacles for them. If they manage to eliminate them most probably they will have a draw against Real Madrid. It would be interesting to see another Manchester City vs Real Madrid matchup after watching the last one in the previous season.

Judging by Manchester City's standard and how they've played good football this season it will be easy to say that they're going to beat Chelsea whoever emerges as their semi-final opponent as well. They have a very clinical and lethal striker in Erling Haaland who has been banging goals for fun this season and he's not even showing any sign of slowing down at the moment

But champions league football is different from domestic league football and if carefully analysed we all know that Chelsea knows how to play in the competition better than Manchester City does and that's a reason why I think it'll be disrespectful to Chelsea as a club to totally write them off going into that tie
