Champions League 2022-23

[Corky]

You'd think Fofana would want to play well here for when he tries to force his move there in 18 months time.

[AjcW]

Be a sad day when Kroos and Modric pack in. Could watch them all day 

[TJQuik]

Real haven't been very clinical. They look like they'll grab a few more by the end of the night though.

Napoli really missing Osimhen

[StanSP]

Real are machines. 

[StanSP]

Napoli started on fire in their game but miss Osimhen. Can imagine it'll get quite fiery in 2nd half. Been a bit feisty already. 

[Guest Col city fan]

That early chance when Felix got out through shows why he’ll never be right at the top.

Too slow. He had yards on the defender and still got caught 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Fofana is clearly out of his depth. The lad doesn't have any experience, he had many injuries, it's unbelievable Lampard has the audacity to expose Fofana like this in a CL quarter final.

Severely. Too easy for Milan to defend without him.

.May as well sabotage his career there.

[Lionator]

Hahaha idiot

[StanSP]

Chilwell off. Clear red, but Cucurella is at fault there. Just let Rodrygo run totally unmarked. 

[Diffco]

A Fofana second yellow now would be glorious 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Ahahahhaha off you go you little gimp

[TJQuik]

Hahahaha

[VinceNoir]

Wtf is chilwell doing there?

Is he gonna be available for the 2nd leg? Elmas is not even a CF/ST. And I think they only have Raspadori on the bench. 

[RowlattsFox]

Sometimes red cards are unfortunate but you have to be fuming with that if you're a team mate.

I think he is gonna be available. They need him. Kvara needs him badly. Kjær has done brilliantly against Kvara this evening. Not had much since that chance at the start

Silva must be asking a lot of life existential questions to himself.

Problem is that most of the time CL football experience plays a major role. Napoli might be the best team overall but teams like Milan and Real Madrid have the "know how" way.

He's expected to be. 

 

Simeone is also injured and Raspadori is carrying a knock. 

 

They played Elmas as a false 9 but he just doesn't carry enough threat so Milan can just ignore him and double up on Kvaradona. Chucky hasn't been first choice for a lot of this season either, he does his best work on the counter at pace and Milan just aren't leaving that kind of room.
