Very impressive match between Madrid vs Chelsea, both played very well, especially Chelsea thats make Madrid must be played all out. At first, I thought Madrid would qualify easily, it turned out that my prediction was wrong, fortunately Ancelotti's experience and the Madrid players gave positive results even though they lost this match, but the 2 goals they scored were enough to beat Chelsea 5 - 4 on aggregate.

I also thought Madrid would qualify easily at their home ground Santiago Bernabéu. Chelsea played well overall yet Benzema headed at 90 minutes Chelsea back to Stamford Bridge yesterday night. No excuses, but Tuchel is a game changer. Tuchel won and lost the game at same. The people who don't watch the Champions League game yesterday can't get the inclination. Yesterday was a good day for Madrid, thus go to the semis by beating Chelsea 5-4 on total.

After yesterday's matches, you can't be sure of anything. But I think both English clubs will win today. In any case, Benfica will not win against Liverpool. Atletico Madrid will of course try to create problems for Manchester City, but I do not think they can win even on home field.
What I do not really like about Atletico is that they do not score much goals, but the club have a strong defense, Manchester City is a very strong club that could have scored more than a single goal in Etihad if Altetico defense was not strong. Manchester City may still further pressure Atletico today and I go for Manchester City provided if it can score 1 or 2 more goals which I know Atletico can not meet up. We are not certain about how the match can be, Champions League is not an easy league at all, anything can happen. But about Benfica, anything can happen too, but Liverpool have more chance to win this match, I am strongly going for Liverpool, I do not think Benfica can go further from here.

a very difficult match to predict, but I believe Manchester city will come out victorious, Manchester city is in a very impressive and very consistent form in the last few games while Atletico Madrid are often in the domestic league experiencing inconsistency. it's worth waiting for the match whether it will shock the football world like what happened between Bayern Munich vs Villarreal last night.
If we look at their performance in the first leg, I think they both have a chance to qualify for the semifinals. Manchester City will still be the favorites and their chances are slightly ahead of Atletico Madrid because they won 1-0 in the first leg, but Atlético Madrid can still make a surprise because they will play at home, and they've come this far not just by luck.

Not your keys, not your coins!
Villarreal's gameplay and tactics were very annoying. They are very lucky to have qualified for the semi-finals. In both matches, we have seen the dominance of Bayern Munich's players. Bayern Munich's players have ruled in both matches.
Villareal deserve the aggregated win against Bayern. They did challenged Bayern a lot in both legs and the very late equalizer in the second leg means the end for Bayern. Bayern actually have a good match yesterday but they made very inaccurate shots that give hope for Villareal. Bayern can not destroy Villareal even they created so many opportunities. In the end, Villareal had a very good counter attacking and scored the equalizer that is enough for them. A few minutes left were not enough for Bayern to do anything.

I'm not sure Manchester City will easily face Atletico Madrid, even at the Etihad Stadium they could only win 1-0. This match will take place at the Wanda Metropolitano and Atletico Madrid have a positive trend if they play at their home. My prediction in this match is a win for Atletico Madrid, maybe with a score of 2 - 0.
Athletico Madrid mostly succeed in the first leg but eventually Manchester City managed to win it. It affects the plan of Athletico Madrid and Simeone as well as their approach for the second leg. The 1 goal difference is so small and with strange decisions from Pep Guardiola in big matches, A Madrid can take advantage of strange and perhaps bad decisions from Pep.

I believe we will have an interesting match today. Madrid will have to play attacking and it will give more chance to Manchester City to play with their traditional tactics.

Since Manchester City won the first leg, they will be in the safe zone today. And the players will be stress-free. Manchester City's defense is very strong. It will not be easy for Atletico to win. Moreover City is a team that is completely stable. Atletico Madrid's performance is very irregular. And their main problem is their striker is not good enough, they have to face a lot of problems to score. And so, as usual, Manchester City is the favorite in today's match.

Yesterday was one hell of a dramatic night, we saw how close Chelsea came to knocking out Real Madrid one of the most decorated teams when it comes to champions League football but Madrid's experience and determination pulled them through to secure a semi final spot!
But what was even more impressive is the small team known as Villarreal turned into a giant slayer.  On the road they have slayed United, Juventus and this time around they slayed Bayern the 6times champions out of the competition....these guys could have easily been written off one shot on target in both legs but still managed to win both games...talk about luck but will it be still with them seeing that this could have more Spanish teams in the end which know how the other plays...Well let's watch this space.

Will there be another drama today?

Atletico Madrid hosts Manchester City (0-1) - It is a big tie tonight for Pep boys because they cannot afford to allow Simeone boys score a goal. If Atletico scores first against Citeh; then we are going to witness another defensive shape (haram fotball) from Atletico

Liverpool hosts Benfica (3-1) - Liverpool defense line remains shaky and are only being saved by their excellent attackers. Klopp will be telling the boys to keep shape and contain the pressure to ensure that they do not goof. City or Liverpool? Madrid or Benfica? Who will go through to the semi finals ?

Atletico vs City will be an interesting game, but I think again with just one or maybe 2 goals! The City is in good shape while Atletico is losing two games in a row, so it could be one zero for City again, this time away! I would like Atletico to win this match, so I will play 1x, and in case it is 1: 0 the game will be extended, 0: 0 is good for City, so maybe I will connect 1x with less than 3 goals!

I think Benfica has no chance against Liverpool (I thought the same last night for Villarreal: P), the only question is whether Benfica can score at least one goal as in the first game, so to play both teams give a goal, that seems like the most interesting bet for this game with nice odds! After all with 1 : 3 from the first game Benfica has nothing to lose, so why not play freely and score some goals!

Today's Atletico Madrid - Manchester City match promises to be very interesting. According to the bookmakers, the guests are the favorites, but I would not cancel the Atletico team's chances and I would not be surprised if 3 Spanish teams play in the Champions League semi-finals. I believe that we will not see many goals in this match, I also do not rule out extra time. I bet less than 2.5 goals in regular time.
Odds are 4.8/3.7/1.7. ManCity is the clear favorite going into this game. They also won the first leg 1-0. I am not sure if I agree with your prediction, Atletico needs to play more offensive as they need to win this game. This in turn could give ManCity space to score themselves. The odds for more/less than 2.5 goals are almost even (1.9/1.Cool. My guess for the result is 1-1, but another goal would then lose the 2.5 goal bet already. (I will not bet on this game, I am not strongly convinced by any offered odds)

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
I really see the outstanding performance of Villarreal to be the best attacking match for the week, though they prove strong enough in their defensive wings but i also gibe credit to their stickers, being onna football pitch is so demanding as never to miss any step for an opportunity, in a little way i feel disappointed in Bayern's performance, though they think it will be as it has always been, football is a game with an opportunity only for the smartest that quickly grab the advantage against the other.
I disagree, yes Villareal deserved to qualify to the semi finals of the champions league; yet they do not have the best attacking match. We can only say that the Villareal side were clinical to score from their only shot on target in both ties. The Chelsea - Real Madrid tie was the attacking game of the day

Bayern Munich's players have ruled in both matches. Villarreal's main task was to repel the attack. However, Villarreal's goalkeeper Rulli's performance in both matches was very commendable. Villarreal's ability to qualify for the semi-finals is largely due to his outstanding performance.

Bayern could not cope with the defense of Villarreal, there were a lot of attacks, but the defense destroyed all the final stages, if the players of Villarreal gave a shot at their own goal, then most of them were shots from outside the penalty area. This is the sensation of the day, Bayern was left without the Champions League, Emery did the impossible.
I was expecting Bayern to do the unthinkable again, but they failed this time, Robert Lewandowski was able to scored in the second half of the match that they also dominated, but Villarreal with strong defence that was so strong, Samuel Chukwueze was able to score in just some minutes to lead to extra time. Villarreal do the unthinkable.

I guessed the result in this match before. Bayern attacked a lot. Villarreal, on the other hand, played perfectly defensive. In the 90th minute, they made 1 more on-target shot and scored only one goal. However, in both matches Bayern Munich has tried a lot to play well. But they have been defeated by Villarreal's defenders. Villarreal can play well in both matches against Bayern only because of the great performance of the defenders.

I really didn't expect this one. Bayern are a superb team, and I thought they were almost certain to get through to the next round. It's a real shock that they've been knocked out. I didn't watch the match, but the result is a big surprise, I read that Villareal managed 2 shots on target in total across both games, and scored both - is this correct? It's not a shock on the scale of Italy vs N Mac, but it's still a shock not to see Bayern progress.

Chelsea is great. All the Chelsea players involved in the match against Real Madrid have been able to make Chelsea fans around the world satisfied and proud of the efforts that have been made. The unyielding character appears throughout the game. The extraordinary teamwork made the Santiago Bernabeu wonder what possessed the Chelsea players.
Good luck next year Chelsea.
This is the most interesting football to watch. It all happened for 90 minutes + 30 minutes before finally Chelsea ducked and Real Madrid jumped with joy including the supporters who were in the stadium and watching on TV.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for making it to the semifinals and thanks to Chelsea for proving how to be a great team.
Chelsea proved many soccer analysts and pundits wrong with their amazing and brilliant performance yesterday, they could have won the match had they converted their scoring chances, unfortunately were unlucky, they played attacking football all through the 120 minutes, in a match many soccer analysts would have predicted a walk over for Real Madrid, honestly the match live up to expectations from start to finish, it was a brilliant soccer displayed by both sides to delightful soccer fans all over world.
Congratulations to Villarreal for their efforts in defeating a Bayern Munich side who many predicted their winning the match unfortunately were bundled out of the UCL.
