All match tonight isn't much expected. Everyone expects Bayern to win with at least 2 goals, but the reality is they are helpless to block Villareal players. Even though the ball position and passing are leaning toward Bayern. Bayern was dropped behind in the first minutes and can't take advantage of many opportunities in the next chance until the finish. so they will have to do hard work in leg 2. If they still want to continue to the semi-finals.
Although have less expectation result after defeating by Villareal I think got lucky by loss 1-0 because have chance  to come back on 2nd leg by winning two goal above and still have chance for Bayern Munich lead to semi final. But I don't think easy because Villareal will have defensive game play on 2n leg. I don't think enough with ball possession and how many time created attempt because defensive game play will make Bayern Munich difficulty how to scoring goal on 2nd leg. I think Bayern Munich was lucky with quarter final drawing against Villareal but out expectation result on 1st leg.

Losing is not a lucky moment, it is a bad luck. Even though the 2nd league will be held in Munich, but the 1st leg result will give a pressure to Bayern's players as they have to win with at least 2 goal difference in normal time. Villareal may do a full defensive strategy in the 2nd leg and I think they will try hard to get a draw. However, a full defensive strategy is like a doubled edge sword. It may work to minimize losing or it can give greater chance to the opponent to score many goals. The effectivity of Bayern in maximizing any goal chance will be the key for them to win the game.

Thanks for Madrid because they got revenge from Chelsea and i won my bet on them and second leg is more easy for them because playing at their home ground but other match really surprising me that Bayern failed to win against Villareal although Bayern had 62% ball possessions but seems it is useless because they cannot score goals

I agree with you, especially if we compare Benzema with LUkaku during the match, Karim Benzema has a small chance to score a goal that can be put to good use, while Lukaku has a big chance but doesn't score a goal. Cheesy
It will be difficult for Madrid to get a striker as complete as Karim Benzema. These are super people, all of them Karim Benzema can: Score goals, create opportunities, open space for friends, don't be lazy to defend/press too.
In essence I was happier when I saw Real Madrid could win again against Chelsea yesterday and this proves that Real Madrid deserves to continue in the Champions League until the final.
Karim Benzema is a very important player for Real Madrid now because he has yet again scored a hat-trick in scoring goals in the Champions League which is also the result of teamwork on the pitch.

Manchester City are on fire after a wonderful home exhibits. They beat their rivalry, Athletico Madrid 1 goal to Neil. The game was full of surprises, when City players were craving for goal both in the first and second half. Pep beats Athletico Madrid boss, Simeon at his own defensive tactics. Athletico Madrid players were coerced into conceding a goal in the 68th minutes of the game after a good substitute made by Pep, substituting Riyah Mahrez for Phil Foden. Then in the 70th minutes, Phil Foden made an assist to Kelvin Debruyne who finished Brilliantly. The visitors couldn't withstand the  lengthy pressure thrown to them by City. But Simeon and the team will look forward to beat City at their home, Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
I am not a big fan of simeone tactics but in my opinion it was a good choice if they didn't play defensively i think they would've lost with a larger score i expect the same thing on the second game but i doubt atletico will beat city if they attack they will be exposed to conceiding goals i think they will try to score from counter attacks.

An evening full of surprises... Didn't expect Cheslea to lose to Real by such a big score at home... Now they are likely to be out of the Champions League! Villarreal also had a nice surprise... It would have been interesting if they had gone on with Real, but Bayern will punish them for that audacious win!  Grin

Yes, it is a surprising result. I never imagined Bayern will be defeated 0-1 by Villareal. We know Bayern is one of the candidates to win UCL title and they are always leading Bundesliga table. While Villareal seems not really promising in La Liga, they are also not really impressive in UCL. According to this reason, I predict Bayern will win both Leg 1 and Leg 2. But that prediction was wrong, they were just defeated in Leg 1. However, Bayern never gives up, they often come back to qualify for the next stage in Leg 2. So, just wait for their big win in the next Leg.

Karim Benzema really is a frightening figure for the opponent's defense, he proved again in this match. The hat-trick he created made Real Madrid lock the victory from Chelsea. Real Madrid almost always get a win when Benzema plays, otherwise if he can't play Real Madrid will find it difficult to score goals. Previously he saved Real Madrid in the last 16 from Paris Saint-Germain. Now I think he's going to do that again in this top 8.
Benzima is one of the oldest striker that will always create fear to opponents defense, he is a player like no other, because he has some qualities and abilities that no other strikers of his age have.
He once again proved to the world how great he is and how important he is to the Real Madrid team. I am sure he will be Nominated for best player of the year.

I think that even Real Madrid didn't expect to get a result like this against Chelsea today. Maybe they really aimed to win this match and we easily understood it by their fearless attacking football. But they won this match by a score like 3-1 and this is a really huge advantage for them before the rematch. Chelsea weren't able to do the things they aimed here and Real Madrid's scoring two goals earlier in the match caused this too. Benzema was no different than his last PSG match in this tournament. He made another hat-trick. He is just insanely good now.
Looking at Chelsea's previous match in the Premier League which got a humiliating defeat. We shouldn't be surprised by this result, because Chelsea looked unprepared in their game. Internal team problems may be the cause of their declining performance or something else besides that. However this match, Real Madrid performed better than Chelsea.

Of course we never thought that real Madrid played so extraordinary and managed to embarrass the hosts Chelsea with a score of 1-3 at Stamford bridge where Karim Benzema managed to score a hat-trick where two goals were headed in the first half and another goal came from a mistake. Chelsea goalkeeper.what about these results decided Real Madrid's move to the semifinals because in the second leg they will play at their own headquarters at the Santiago Bernabeu

Rather, it's not about Benzema's first two goals, but his third goal in the 46th minute at the very beginning of the second half, when a clumsy shuffle between Mendy and Rüdiger buried Chelsea's hopes of righting the situation in the second half of the match. Still, it's one thing to play the game with a score of 1-2 and quite another thing when the score became 1-3 through your own fault. Moreover, Real Madrid did not show anything outstanding in the second half, completely not thinking about attacking and holding the winning score, and I think that in a similar way Real Madrid would have played with the score 1-2. Chelsea quite played at least one goal in the second half, but Courtois' game and the strikers' misses in advantageous positions this was not allowed to happen.

Another game that surprised me was the Villarreal 1:0 Bayern Munich victory in today's match day live. Villarreal even managed it to get a VAR disallowed goal due to offside.

Another game that surprised me was the Villarreal 1:0 Bayern Munich victory in today's match day live. Villarreal even managed it to get a VAR disallowed goal due to offside. I just don't want to talk much about it because, I'm almost sure Bayern Munich would attempt and successfully get a come back in the returning game.

I agree with you this defeat does not mean the end for Bayern Munich 90% sure they can make a come back in the 2nd leg
We know Bayern Munich is a regular team in the semi-finals so I haven't seen a chance for Villarreal to replace Munich
I don't mean to underestimate Villarreal I'm only talking about chances because one goal is not enough to secure their place at Allianz Arena.

The match between Bayern Munich and Villarreal was threatening to Bayern and the result equally went against Bayern. But as you rightly said, Bayern Munich will come back in the second leg with alot of goals. That match will give over 2.5 goals, no matter how defensive Villarreal will like to play. Bayern Munich is good at this kind of looming come back.

Real Madrid defeating Chelsea was not a surprise to me, because I already knew and predicted that Real Madrid will win Chelsea. It was obvious for good soccer analyst.
First, Chelsea don't have a score like Real Madrid has. Chelsea goes most times comes from defenders and not strikers. But unlike Real Madrid that has an accurate shooter (Benzema). There is nothing more glorifying than having an experienced goal getter at the top 9.
Lukaku would have been the one to do it for Chelsea but I can say that he is mismanaged by Tuchel.
We may believe if you post predictions before the game starts  Cheesy Anyway, almost everyone here is surprised by this result
Chelsea is not a team that relies on luck to get into the quarter-finals they really fought and beat other teams
I personally predict this match to be a draw or Chelsea win by one goal difference.
I predict and I drop the predictions inside comments like as I did above by saying that Bayern will win the second leg and we should expect large goal marking upto 2.5 goals. It is a prediction which means Bayern will win and play over 2.5goals. Then in the Chelsea return leg, as long as there is Vinicius who always destabilises the opponent's defence and there is an accurate time shooter Karim Benzema.

Benzema's ability is unquestionable he is an important figure in the team it's just that in the last seasons he had fewer chances because Madrid put him as a substitute
Now he can still be relied on may be the first choice after satisfactory results maybe this is one of the reasons why Madrid never sold him.
I think the second leg will still belong to Madrid, Madrid just need a draw to qualify.

The only surprise I had this night was Benzema bagging another hatrick. It was indeed a superb fit to achieve. I think Benzema deserves something like d'or.
