No space for Kvara in this game. Hats off to Milan.
Quite a good match. Almost a relief to see some other teams than the usual suspects in the mix for going far.
Milan have Napoli's number this season. They beat them 4-0 away a couple weeks back too. Its a bad match up but Napoli are also running on fumes. They've haven't played well in awhile.
Real Madrid serving a pile of dogshit.
Nature of the cups and I also think Napoli peaked too early. They've been off color for the last few weeks.
Owen being Owen there. Referring to Vini Jr’s chance as ‘Possibly the best chance of the game. Probably Kante’s was the best maybe’.
Madrid have been pretty crap in this tie haven't they.
I'm guessing they'll up it if needed but they'll have to be ten times better than this to knock City out.

Napoli’s form has dipped lately and they have been struggling against Milan in general.
Not a thing
think chelsea need more defensive players out there. Take off Kai for a CB. Just play kante as lone target forward. Seems like something Lampard would come up with.
*points to real madrid*
It's not the law I'm questioning, it's future kids understanding of human anatomy
Napoli have been robbed here to be honest, that Leao tackle on Lozano was definitely a pen.
More like Spalletti time of the season. Not the first time his teams run out of steam unexplainably in the latter stage of the season.
Hopefully the point gap this time would prevent any upset in Serie A.
For all the joking about the Chelsea lineup, we're a world class save away from being 1-0 up. I'll have no Lampard slander!
If you say so.
Chelsea won't beat City so we need Madrid to not bottle this
As i said, his strategy of lulling us into a false sense of security by playing that lineup was genius!
Heard that in this competition before.
BT Sport pundits rimming Chelsea.
Owen ffs 
‘I think they’ve got more of a chance now than they did before the game’
…the score line is exactly the same as it was before the game

Worrying displays tonight. Don't see how any of these teams can stop City on the back of these performances.
crazy amount of bed wetting every year. Madrid could definitely knock them out. And if they do we'll hear how City will steamroller the tournament again by August
Apparently Leao prefers to play through the middle, according to an interview, but his dribbling and pace with those long legs are a nightmare to deal with.
Somewhat similar to Dembele, but more composed. Those guys are so hard to contain

Losing Militao against Citeh feels like a loss already, not that we're in semis yet.
so you like Fat Frank?
Owen: "You know what? I'm more encouraged now (by Chelsea's chances of winning) than I was before the game"
No fecking shit Michael...

i mean their two chances had people taking it in a way that showed they were uncomfortable being in that position to score. Cuca takes an unnecessary touch and takes way too long to try and shoot from like 4 yards out, and kante just panic shanks a shot where he has plenty of time to hit the volley
Over two legs this Chelsea doesn't best City.
If it happens it's in the final cause City are profesional bottlers.
I would love Utd to peak too early if it meant walking the league.
So why can't Napoli shut down Leao then?
We've relied on Real too many times to stop the dippers winning the Champions League. This year may be one too many. Looking good for the bitters, unfortunately.
I love Super Frank!
I hope he wins every game as Chelsea manager for the next 10 years.
Alaba injured? Rudiger on.
Why are the BT crowd talking like Chelsea have scored 2?
Inexplicable decision not to foul him on that run honestly. Extremely naive.
Because they're playing 20 meters further up the field?
The ref gave that foul for Vini Jr they’re having no idea what happened. You could not see any contact on the replays either.
