UEFA CL: Real Madrid and Ac Milan put themselves in a comfortable position

On Wednesday night, Real Madrid and AC Milan won their respective matches in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Real Madrid beat Chelsea 2-0 and AC Milan beat Napoli 1-0. As a result, both teams now have the chance to advance to the semi-finals of the tournament.

The match between Chelsea and Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League was intense and had some chaotic moments, as often happens when these two teams meet. However, Real Madrid emerged victorious with a 2-0 win.

Chelsea had come to Spain determined to avenge their elimination from the same stage of the tournament last year. But they made defensive mistakes that led to Karim Benzema scoring for Real Madrid. Vinicius forced a save from Kepa, but Benzema was quick to follow up and score the goal.

Real Madrid controlled the game and secured their victory in the last 15 minutes of the match, while Chelsea was down to 10 men. After several corner kicks, Marco Asensio scored a goal for Real Madrid with a powerful shot, extending their lead. Mason Mount had a chance to score for Chelsea and reduce the gap, but Antonio Rüdiger made a great tackle to save his team from conceding another goal. With a two-goal advantage, Real Madrid now looks ahead to the second leg of the quarterfinals at Stamford Bridge next week.

Ac Milan has taken a good option thanks to Napoli’s defeat

AC Milan was not expected to be a strong contender in the Champions League, but they proved their worth by beating Napoli 1-0 in front of their home crowd. Ismael Bennacer played an unusual role just behind striker Olivier Giroud, and it paid off when he scored the winning goal with a powerful left-footed shot in the 40th minute. It was also Bennacer’s first goal in the Champions League. The goal came just before half-time and stunned Napoli. Although they were on the verge of being knocked out, Napoli managed to keep their hopes alive for the second leg of the quarterfinals.

Despite the absence of Victor Osimhen, who is still recovering from a thigh injury, Napoli had control of the ball and created opportunities to score. However, their efforts were thwarted by an impressive performance from Mike Maignan, who made crucial saves against Zielinski in the 16th minute and Di Lorenzo in the 87th minute. Unfortunately, Zambo Anguissa made a costly error by receiving two yellow cards within a span of four minutes (71st and 75th), forcing Napoli to play with only 10 players. This allowed AC Milan to regain control of the game and manage it until the final whistle. With this narrow victory, AC Milan has gained an advantageous position going into the second leg, which is expected to be a challenging and fiercely contested match at the Diego Maradona Stadium in Naples.
