This was the only match of the quarterfinals where both teams fought hard. Milan managed a 1-0 win courtesy of a goal from Ibrahim Bennacer in the first leg at home. Napoli also created many chances and continuously tested the Milan defence but couldn’t score.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea

This contest was expected to go down to the wire as two of the best teams in Europe were competing against each other. But City settled things in the first leg at home itself as they registered a commanding 3-0 win. Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland got on the scoresheet as the Citizens took a heavy lead heading into the second leg.
Both teams have been forced to reckon with in this Champions League season. While Real Madrid have been rock-solid in defence, Manchester City’s rampaging attack has been difficult to contain for all teams. So, the two sides will test each other’s strengths across the two legs. But bookies are favouring Manchester City to win the first leg with odds of 27/20, even though it is an away fixture for them.

AC Milan vs Napoli

AC Milan have been in good defensive form, but their offence has underlying problems, which could be an issue for them in such a crucial encounter. On the other hand, Inter has a well-functioning attack with players like Lukaku, Lautaro Martínez and Nicolo Barella in excellent form. So, it won’t be a surprise if Inter ace both legs and make their way to the final because that’s how bookies have got their UEFA Champions League predictions for this encounter. 
Real Madrid and Manchester City will lock horns in the first and second leg on May 9 and 17, respectively. Inter and AC Milan will take on each other on May 10 and 16, respectively. 

Forecast for the Upcoming Semi-finals

Real Madrid vs Manchester City

Bayern tried their best in the second leg, but it wasn’t enough, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw. Haaland scored again for City, whereas Joshua Kimmich converted a penalty to achieve Bayern’s only goal across the two legs. As a result, Manchester City won on 4-1 aggregate and made their way to the UEFA Champions League 1/2 final.

AC Milan vs Inter

City are expected to be even more lethal in the home fixture, but the events of the first leg will set the tone for the all-important second leg. Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva and Rodri are in excellent form, and City will be banking on them to deliver again. Much will depend on how Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and others perform for Real Madrid. But things will be pretty challenging for Los Blancos against a force like Manchester City. 
This was a drab one-sided contest, with Real Madrid dominating both legs of the match. Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio scored at Santiago Bernabeu to give the Los Blancos a much-needed two-goal lead in the first leg at home. Chelsea looked completely lackluster in that match, so fans were expecting a better outing when they played at Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

Conclusion

Things looked even tougher as they headed to Italy for the second leg, but Benfica came roaring back with a superb performance. They netted three goals courtesy of Aursnes, Silva, and Musa in hopes of making a comeback, but Inter scored as many goals in the match to win the quarterfinals on a 5-3 aggregate. Benfica won hearts, but their journey this time ended at this stage. Inter, on the other hand, made it to the semifinals.
