Nice to see Chelsea playing like this, the coach is really trying his best with the confidence his is building in the team. Chelsea have played three matches on a row without conceived any goal that means teams the team defenders are doing great job. Seeing Chelsea ending the game in 2 - 0 was a surprise thing to me because ACM is not a small club, infact currently they are in form. I can see now that Chelsea is really ready to fight for this champions league
I previously thought that changing coaches at Chelsea would not have much effect. but it turns out I was wrong. because since Graham Pottee came to coach Chelsea, Chelsea changed completely. even chelsea's game and performance now is very good. and twice beat Milan is an achievement that deserves thumbs up. because it is true that Milan is a strong team. but with the victory chelsea proved that Chelsea became stronger now under coach Graham Potter.

The red card was giving big pressure to the milan. The penalty is fine but red card may be too much for milan. I do agree with you the mentality from players got affected after red card was happening. That's why there are so many errors happened with milan after tomori got red card.
The fact that if these days chelsea seems find its right track to perform so well in any of its matches. Im so glad if chelsea managed to win the remaining match in the champion league against dinamo.

The penalty was correct but the red card against the former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori was very unjust and really determined the game's winner. Referee Daniel Siebert should be cautioned by UEFA. Chelsea just had a free day because of that red card and I perceive that Milan would have gotten a better result. Oliver Giroud lost their best opportunity when he squandered that free heady inside the box. Sergino Dest's attempt couldn't give them a goal, but the excellent performance of Rafael Leão should be encouraged.
It's nice to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring goals for Chelsea, at least he has proved that he is an asset to the team. Raheem Sterling should also improve his performance because the club and fans expect more from him. Mason Mount also put up a spectacular performance, winning a penalty and having a clear goal attempt that was saved by Anton Ciprian Tătărușanu. Congratulations to Chelsea and to the magical Graham "Harry" Potter especially.
Besides that, Chelsea got a little bit benefited from the referee due to the violation which I think make mentally Milan down from the beginning, plus Giroud's performance is not good also, he should be able to set goals after that, because he looks free without any Chelsea player around. So, with the winning, I think Chelsea has enough confidence to continue to 2nd round, They isn't good on premier league which I think they focusing only for Champion League.
There is a little oddity behind the red card received by Fikayo Tomori in my opinion. He (Tomori) clearly bothered Mason Mount and deservedly the referee considered a foul so the penalty was the right decision to be given. In our opinion, Daniel Siebert should have punished Tomori for a foul made with a yellow card. But the German referee's decision must still be accepted and the victory belongs to Chelsea.In another match, Maccabi Haifa managed to experience how to win in the Champions League group stage after 20 years defeating Manchester United. The success of Maccabi defeating Juventus with a score of 2-0 became their first win in Group H. Juventus' defeat made them worse off this season.
The win lifts Chelsea to the top of Group E on seven points, one ahead of RB Salzburg, and Milan remain in third place three points behind the Londoners. Now, Milan have a tough task they have to do in the remaining two games if they want to qualify for the next phase.
Congratulations to Chelsea and the fans. it was a very extraordinary match for them. look at Chelsea's not-so-good performance in the EPL.will be a tough task for Milan in the remaining 2 matches. because the points earned are the same as Dinamo Zagreb, there is no reason for Milan other than to get 3 points in the remaining matches.
quite heavy, but not impossible.

Even though both clubs played quite hard in this match but Chelsea's advantage is clearly more because they are playing with 11 men but Milan are only playing with 10 men and their defender is limping.

and possession throughout the game forced Milan to hold on despite falling behind, and Chelsea's form continued to develop in a positive trend which I think deserved to win the game against Milan and also lead Group E by seven points. And I also predict Chelsea will win against Dinamo Zagreb who are fourth in Group E.
I am sure, the match between AC Milan Vs Chelsea in Stadio Giuseppe Meazza Group E of the Champions League is one of the most awaited by football addicts, after Milan lost 0-3 in the first match at Stamford Bridge. However, I saw that the interesting spectacle immediately disappeared after Fikayo Tomori received a red card from referee Daniel Siebert and Chelsea returned home from Italy with three points after winning 2-0.

Not only was the Copenhagen Vs Manchester City match strange, there were several other matches such as Haifa Vs Juventus, PSG Vs Benfica, Dortmund Vs Sevilla and the last one was Shakhtar Donetsk Vs Real Madrid. I don't understand what happened to the top teams.
Haaland was not in the lineup at that time, but I am also surprised enough that the result will be only a drawn result. I thought that his absence will not influence that high. Fortunately, Sevilla and Dortmund were also in the drawn result, so the point is the same gained. For Real Madrid, I am also really surprised, by the drawing result. Their main goalkeeper was absent because of an injury. I really hope that Courtois will be in very good condition next week, moreover for El Classico.
On the other hand, actually playing a draw with a shortage of players is still very good for Manchester City in this match.

I don't know why Haaland wasn't played in the away match against Copenhagen, whether that means Manchester City are underestimating the opponent and thinking they will win easily. It's a shame because we all had high expectations for a big Manchester City win in this match and also, today's final scoreline looks pretty much the same whether there's something game of scoring going on. The favorite teams had bad luck like Real Madrid, PSG, Dortmund and even Juventus which were confirmed to have stopped in the group stage and it was very funny to lose 2-0 by Maccabi Haifa. 
If you look at it, Haaland has started every Manchester City game this season, and it seems the game against Copenhagen was the right time to rest Haaland, especially with the Premier League trip to Liverpool following on Sunday. Pep trusted his players to do the damage without Halaand. They have a touch game this weekend and there will be an eagerness for Haaland to be in top-notch condition.

In four days there is an important and fundamental match with Liverpool and maybe Josep Guardiola decided to save Haaland a little for this match. In principle, this match was not expected to be very problematic and City had some margin over the rest of the opponents, and still, with all that, Manchester City still secured an early exit from the group. If this is the case, as I assume, then I agree with Guardiola, because it's not a matter of constantly putting a young player in the squad twice a week and if you remember, Haaland had some injury problems at Borussia Dortmund last season when he didn't play for a while. Therefore, I think Guardiola decided to be safe with the player, although personally I expected Josep to release the player for a while at the end of the match, as he did with Foden. They ended with 2 zeros though the capitalized and maintained their precious goals instead of putting efforts to have more goals. Chelsea were playing with full confidence and even having nice passed across them selves than the AC milan, there is no sign of settlement among them self so do we say chelsea is more higher than the ACM.

Manchester City decided to rest their super striker and then got unlucky and drew the match with a red card and Real Madrid suffered and had to bleed Rudiga in order to get a draw .
It is good to let Haaland sit on the bench in this match because it is not a really crucial match. A draw isn't a too bad result, at least Man City can get 1 point and they still lead the table. In the next matchday, they will against Dortmund, it will be a crucial match that requires Haaland to play fulltime. So, resting on the bench in this match is the right decision.This is rather a poor calculation if it was what Guardiola did. This is group match and every match has a maximum of 3 points to be grabbed. Assuming Manchester City won today against Copenhagen, they would have been under zero pressure to play Dortmund.
Why rest your best striker in champions league, where else do you want to play him. That was how Guardiola substituted him the other time that he got a brace and denied him Hatrick.
I am beginning to dislike the whole thing, Guardiola should be very careful with Haaland. He should allow this guy make his history in champions league please. That is the most prestigious league in football and other players like Mbappe, Benzema, Lewandowski, Messi are in this league.
I don't support Guardiola's decisions on Haaland.
We have about 4 draw matches out of the 8games played today in champions league games. The big teams that are supposed to win, draw in their matches. Which is quite disappointing and unbelievable.
Today's game was indeed surprising and disappointing. It started with the shocking defeat of Juventus, the draw of City then PSG and Real Madrid. Dortmund also got a draw vs Sevilla which is weak this season in La Liga.What I call a predictable ending is somehow Zagreb - Salzburg draw and Leipzig victory.
Chelsea won vs Milan 2-0. There is some discussion about the red card but the odds for this game were in favour of Chelsea after all.
It's true that there were some surprising results in the Champions League group stage matches, some of the top teams failed to win.
This proves the Champions League this season is much more competitive than the previous season. Some great teams even face weak
opponents, but unexpectedly they failed to win. Just as it was a disgrace for Juventus to be beaten by Maccabi Haifa, whereas Juventus
and Maccabi Haifa have different levels. With the defeat of Juventus, it seems that Juventus chances of qualifying from the group stage
can be said to be closed. Because the remaining two matches Juventus have to face Benfica and PSG which seems impossible
to beat Juventus, if we look at the poor performance of Juventus.
Barcelona is in a hell group qualification in which there are 3 giant clubs there. Once one of them is lost, they will have a lower chance to be qualified for the next step.
It's hard really not seeing Barcelona to be the threat here. A few years or seasons back and they would have been our favourite choice to winning the UCL trophy. Now, they struggle to earn a ticket to the round of 16! We might as well see them to the Europa real soon.Especially in Barcelona's next match against Inter, will be the decisive match for Barcelona whether to be number 3 or overtake 1. And in the next round, Barcelona will also play Bayern.

In this match Milan were clearly determined to get points, but when they lost a game even from the start of the first half it was clear it became very difficult for Milan.
Even though both clubs played quite hard in this match but Chelsea's advantage is clearly more because they are playing with 11 men but Milan are only playing with 10 men and their defender is limping.
