I'm looking forward to what Napoli can do in the Champions League this season with their excellent form this season both in Serie A and in the Champions League. In this round they will face AC MIlan which we know are from the same league, so they have met a lot on the field. Napoli are much better than AC Milan in Serie A, but I don't know if they meet in the Champions League, because for sure AC Milan will not want to be knocked out by the Serie A leaders. but for now it seems that Napoli is my favourite.
Napoli is showing good performance in serie-A and in the Champions league, Napoli is far better than AC Milan in performance and will defeat ac Milan in the Champions league. Napoli are doing very fine in the Champions League but I don't think if Napoli can win the Champions league this season.

Napoli were giving a good performance on Champions League, so I don't think there's should be any difference when Napoli met AC Milan in Serie A or Champions League. If Napoli's players are playing under pressure and don't have a strong mentality, they should be lose from the beginning. But Napoli is already reach quarter final, so I think Napoli will easily win this match against AC Milan.

Statistically, Milan's performance is below Napoli this season, be it in Serie A or in the Champions League. Napoli seem to have a high win rate in both of these competitions namely in Serie A and in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Milan seems to really have to struggle to qualify for the quarter-finals. and even in Serie A Milan is currently only ranked 4th. because the few weeks they've been through lately haven't gone well. so I think Napoli's chances of going to the semi-finals are very high. because I think Napoli will beat Milan in the Champions League just like they beat Milan in Serie A. but to get to the final I'm still not sure. because there is a club that also has the same achievement this season, namely Benfica. look at Benfica in the portugal league. they have only 1 loss from the 24 matches they have faced. Even in the Champions League, Benfica can easily qualify for the quarter-finals.
Even though Napoli's performance was extraordinary, the Champions League was very difficult to win. The strength of the team fluctuated and events that were beyond many people's predictions also often occurred in this competition. Milan's current performance is far behind that of Napoli, but I will still respect them. The Rossoneri are a team with quite a bit of experience in Europe's elite competitions. So for that I will look forward to the duel in leg 1, it is likely that Milan will not let Napoli party at the San Siro. But what makes Pioli even more riled up is that he has to concentrate on the Champions League and Serie A.
I can see that many people are confident that Chelsea will pull surprises against Real Madrid and likely win them. But I don't believe that. Chelsea cannot do that against Real Madrid in their present form in Champions league.
We all know how commited Real Madrid used to be in Champions League matters.
And also we know how poor Chelsea has been this season. Struggling with injuries and coach inconsistency.
Even if Real Madrid is to clash out of the champions league, it is not Chelsea that will eliminate them, maybe some other teams.

This is really a very special season for Napoli as they can even make it to the finale with this level of performance.
It mostly depends on what team they will face until that round of course. They got a lucky draw for the quarter finals in fact. Milan are one of the teams that can eliminate as long as they apply their usual game plan. Napoli have already been much more successful than Milan in this season. They beat Milan in San Siro in the Serie A also. I expect them to eliminate Milan by winning both games here too. A finale like Manchester City - Napoli would definitely be interesting. But I just can't see a finale without Real Madrid for this season too.
Surprises after surprises from Napoli in this season as no one was expecting performance like this from them in both competitions, but they are standing alone with their amazing performance and quality with 18 points lead after 26 rounds is clearly giving them title into their pocket with now their main focus in Champions League because they are in last four with most chances they can go through into final as well with AC Milan is also unpredictable team which is giving poor performance for the last few weeks even they have draw match at home against Salernitana which is giving how they are doing right now but their performance against Tottenham was good so here edge is going with Napoli, but we can expect any team game as AC Milan is also tried their best for the win and have spot into last four as well after this good time in Champions League.It mostly depends on what team they will face until that round of course.

To be honest, if you consider the last games they had against each other and Potter's performance during the last games against Chelsea, He is very much near to getting fired and his team is not in a good position on the table in the premier league while recently they had just two or three well performance, while Real Madrid have a better situation and everyone expecting to see Ancelotti and his player winning this game against Chelsea in Champions league.
so true. if you look at the consistency of Real Madrid and Chelsea in their local league this season. then I think Chelsea are really not in a good position at the moment. although indeed in some matches Graham Potter has succeeded in making Chelsea have a pretty good improvement. while Real Madrid they continue to show good consistency both in Laliga and in the Champions League. even some time ago when Benzema was injured we can still see Real Madrid still able to maintain their good performance. and right now Real Madrid's mainstay players are in good shape so their team is in their best condition. and the first leg of the quarter-finals later Real Madrid will host, so the chances of victory for Chelsea are really very slim in this match.

I did not believe Potter will save his job after the match with Dortmund but he did and managed to win with Chelsea and now he will be in quarter final with Chelsea except if he will be fired before those matches.I still don't believe that Potter will save his job before the end of season but who knows, if he win big with Chelsea in a first leg quarter final over Real Madrid, maybe he will prolong his career in Chelsea a little bit. Sometimes magic happens in life and Potter will hit a highest of his career if he win Champions League with Chelsea this season. After that, he can be fired but with that achievement he would feel satisfy by getting one of hardest challenge for any coach.
It would have been better if SSC Napoli dont play vs AC Milan, then the chances would been higher that we would see an Italian team in the final. The last matches between Napoli and Milan were many months ago. In September 2022 Napoli won 2:1 and in March 2022 AC Milan won 1:0. Currently i would see SSC Napoli in the semifinals, but the match on 02.04. will be the important game. We have seen how AC Milan and Inter Milan play tactically in the second match. Extrem defensive and both games ended with 0:0.
It looks like a planned drawing from UEFA, two Premier League clubs at one branch and three Serie A clubs at another branch. They eliminated chance to have internal final in this season but it makes the rest of Champions League more exciting.To be honest, it is more exciting if matches are between clubs from different domestic leagues. They might contribute more open matches than internal clashes when two clubs are too familiar with each other and might play very carefully.
Napoli are stronger than AC Milan in Serie A and you are logical to think Napoli will beat AC Milan in Champions League too. I support this thinking as I see Napoli have bigger chance to win Champions League than AC Milan.
Maybe this is very sensitive, but we hope that there will be no more opinion polls regarding the results of this quarter final draw. We can't say much more because it's a clear draw and even though the Italian team didn't meet a team from another league, I think maybe it's been a lucky draw for Napoli, Inter and Milan.
Indeed we have to accept all the truth, but for Real Madrid vs Chelsea I think this is a draw that has 2 sides, one side that is definitely difficult for blues fans to accept and the second side chelsea wants revenge in the previous meeting and Real Madrid certainly wants to get rid of chelsea like in the previous season.
It might be true. The only problem is if i personally thought that if that would better if real madrid will be facing italian club just like ac milan which has never coached by ancellotti. That would be so good to see that but chelsea has been facing real madrid three times in a row (included this one ). Indeed we have to accept all the truth, but for Real Madrid vs Chelsea I think this is a draw that has 2 sides, one side that is definitely difficult for blues fans to accept and the second side chelsea wants revenge in the previous meeting and Real Madrid certainly wants to get rid of chelsea like in the previous season.
That's a bit boring to see that. It seems like the rivalry between real madrid and chelsea become even more serious. Ancellotti has also ever coached chelsea as well. Some madrid's players are also thinking chelsea was toughest opponent in UCL.
We still remember very well how Real Madrid's aggregate point comeback was in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, it was an extraordinary comeback moment for a club that has a winning mentality.
Even in the quarter-finals chart, we can see it is a bit strange. Some weak teams are on the left side and some strong teams are on the right side. I think this is illogical for the draw this time, but still there will be winners and losers. Like the matches of 3 teams from Italy, it's possible that we won't see the final of the Italian team in the UCL this season and Manchester City vs Bayern Munich we can't see the two teams in the final later.
I found quite an entertaining meme regarding this quarter final draw.

Nice meme LMAO. The draw was very strange caused by it just let italian club go to the final in the easiest way. I hope that benfica will able to go to the final. The result from the draw was unacceptable for sure. How can all of italitan teams were not even face team from another league? I found quite an entertaining meme regarding this quarter final draw.

That meme is actually true. It seems like that something shady was going on but yeah that's reality. We can only accept the truth. The thing that i can't even understand it. How can chelsea meet madrid three times in a row?
That's quite surprisingly for me to be honest cuased by chelsea is always facing real madrid again and again. So many people were also feeling quite strange with the result from draw.

It looks like one of the Italian teams will be in the finale for certain. Benfica's job won't be easy at all against Inter in my opinion. But this matchup will still be very competitive for sure. Both of these teams are really strong and I see them nearly equal to each other in performance. But I still see Inter one step ahead of Benfica here. It is because of Inter's playing style actually.
I think they have the strength to stop Benfica now. They can do a really good job at keeping Benfica away from scoring goals easily just as they did it to Porto newly.

Even though in the end Manchester City or Bayern are still in a fifty-fifty condition, I think because you can't say that Bayern or Madrid have a chance that even City can win easily.
The conditions will depend on whether they are capable or not in terms of performance and in terms of players, so things like that are still worth waiting for.
Bayern and city were having the same record in the head to head of UCL. The conditions will depend on whether they are capable or not in terms of performance and in terms of players, so things like that are still worth waiting for.
As you can see that if bayern was not able to fully dominate the match against manchester city. I think that if bayern must be careful with haaland as he will become a threat to bayern yet i do believe that Bayern is fully experienced enough about how to protect him in the whole of game.
Halaand must not become a serious problem for bayern as haaland has some good defenders to kill haaland's movement during the match in UCL. This is also a very interesting match for sure.
Bayern is also looked like difference compared with the last time against manchester city which was almost a decade ago.
Manchester City have a lot of desire in the UCL this season and given the strength they have, I think it's very logical.
and it's true, haaland will again be in the spotlight of many people this season, this striker is in top form this season and that will be a serious threat to Bayern.
in the UCL draw I think Real Madrid vs Chelsea and Manchester City vs Bayern are the most difficult games in my opinion.
I personally will not underestimate chelsea at this moment by learning if chelsea could be performing so well during the UCL competition while at the same time the club was having very bad performance in the domestic league. I meant if we must also try to take a look at how chelsea was able to face madrid three times in a row. Chelsea has even proven itself in UCL compared with city which was never winning UCL.
I agree with you even though personally Real Madrid is my handle so far. But apart from all that Chelsea cannot be underestimated just like that, considering their chances in the Premier League are not so ideal then they will do anything in the Champions League. I know their performance against big clubs will be even more different and playing against Real Madrid will motivate them even more. Last season Chelsea was thwarted by Real Madrid and now the opportunity for revenge is in sight. Even though at that time Chelsea in Tuchel's hands looked more aggressive, now for Graham Potter this is a very extraordinary opportunity to restore public trust if he is able to conquer the mentality of the Champions League winner. 
in this season the strength of the two teams has been different from the season before and if you look at the consistency in the domestic league I think Manchester City is much better than Bayern.
Manchester City have a lot of desire in the UCL this season and given the strength they have, I think it's very logical.

in the UCL draw I think Real Madrid vs Chelsea and Manchester City vs Bayern are the most difficult games in my opinion.
Bayern Munich had a solid defense both during the Pep Guardiola and Nagelsmann eras, but with the composition of the players that have now changed. Man City has the advantage because Pep Guardiola has led Bayern Munich for quite a long time and coupled with Haaland presence, Man City can tear apart Bayern Munich's defense a little more. In my opinion, it's 40:60 for this big match, because it's Bayern Munich who will feel a little overwhelmed, at least they have to be able to control Haaland fast movements, who always chase the ball's reflection in the penalty box. Manchester City have a lot of desire in the UCL this season and given the strength they have, I think it's very logical.

I strongly believe the winner of UCL will be coming from the result of these matches.
Bayern city
Madrid chelsea.
In this branch, two Premier League clubs meet two strong teams Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. They are both strong clubs but Chelsea look to be a weakest in those clubs as they have some problems in this season. Either Bayern, City or Madrid go to final will be a tough opponent for another club from another branch which has 3 Italian clubs and one from Portugal (Benfica).Bayern city
Madrid chelsea.
Quote
Italian clubs were just lucky enough to face clubs that also competed in the serie a. Napoli looks like the strongest candidate to go to the final. Benfica must become the second most favorite team to be qualified for the final.
Napoli are able to beat AC Milan but matches in Champions League and in Serie A are different. AC Milan have DNA to win in Champions League and they are more familiar with big knock-out matches there but Napoli are very strong under dog in this season. I hope they can continue their best performance from Serie A to Champions League.Benfica are not actually stronger than Inter Milan and I hope Inter Milan will win then make a Italian semi-final in this branch.
Another groups being filled by italians club and since napoli was always winning against ac milan and i think that napoli is gonna be an easy match for napoli. Napoli was also lucky enough to not face intermilan.
Remember when intermilan was breaking napoli's win streak records.
Even though in the end Manchester City or Bayern are still in a fifty-fifty condition, I think because you can't say that Bayern or Madrid have a chance that even City can win easily.

This meme is very accurate. Left side looks like a clear path for Italian teams, especially for Napoli. It's both good and bad for Italian football. Good because they will probably be in the final match, bad because only one team would make it to the finals. Clearly Manchester City and Bayern München match-up is the hardest one. Real Madrid is a natural favorite.
I don't know if rigged draw rumours have any base but bigger teams draw each other and big teams (I don't want to use small team definition at QF) draw each other accusation can gather supporters.
Underestimating smaller clubs is something I don't support, from the left side, with current form and stats one would side with Napoli over other sides, it would have been a tough game for Napoli if they was matched up with Inter Milan but with Ac Milan, it's a walk-over game. I'm also backing Benfica for coming this far to defeat Inter Milan. For a long time especially with Antonio Conte, they've failed to get past the last round and they finally did, gladdens me too see that though.
It's disturbing to see the confidence from Chelsea fans, how do they expect Graham Potter ( Tactically Poor ) to defeat Ancellotti currently ? That's a complete joke. Lol, and if they do, they can be very adamant when it comes to Bayern Munich.
It'll be midfied battle between Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Pep Guardiola and his former side, it'll sure be one of the best games to watch for youngins. Napoli for the Finals Left, and Manchester City from the right.
