So, Chelsea really went to Madrid to literally hold them off because they believe that in the 2nd Leg, they can throw their stadium at Real because somehow offensively they have nothing to offer anymore?

I don’t believe any club goes to Bernabeu and expects to get a result, especially a team that is currently completely lacking confidence and is closer to the relegation zone than to the CL places. So I think it’s fair to try and limit the goals conceded and just go for it at home.

Still, Chelsea’s attack is just sad. Felix and Sterling just running into 4 defenders with no movement around them, both are awful finishers, and no goal threat from midfield at all. Kanté was playing like a RWF at times for some reason. Their only threatening players are their wing backs but they have nobody to cross to, are both often injured and now Chilwell is suspended so they have to play Cucurella there who has been a disaster all season. There’s basically no hope for that team at all, even after spending so much money they still need so much rebuilding. And they have Nkunku coming in the summer who is a great player but the absolute opposite of what they need right now from their forwards.

Bye-Bye Napoli; in all fairness only their supporters wouldn't fancy a Derby della Madonnina UCL Semifinals.

That's it. They even missed a penalty.

No more fireworks under Milan player's hotel

Benfica could give a sorprise today.

In this period, anyone could give a surprise against us.

I say it because I think Bayern is out.

I can't realize that either Inter or Milan is going to the final. Then whoever the finalist is, they're likely going to be trashed by either Manchester City or Real Madrid.

Of course they will be trashed. Serie A can really thank UEFA for that draw, none of those three teams (neither Milan, not Napoli and especially not Inter) would be a worthy finalist. Anyway despite Real's incredible CL qualities (we all know and hate them for) I don't think that they can stop Haaland and KDB, this year it seems that spending billions of pounds actually will give City owners their CL..

It can't tell, They fail against Chelsea, but on the other hand they now have Halland, but again is just one match and both Italian teams have a good defense.

Upamecano was City's 12th man in both games, I can't believe his performances. Bayern would have been lucky if his red card wasn't ruled out for offside.

Maguire + De Gea, what a duo.

I find it interesting that De Gea hasn't received any form of praise for his good games in the last years but gets immediately criticized for blunders.
Btw you won't find a better lovestory than Sevilla and UEFA Cup/Europa League

If Sevilla wins the competition again, UEFA may just rename it Sevilla League.
