There will be derbi of Milan and republising of the 'semis' of the past season between Real Madrid and Manchester City to define to the finalists of the UEFA Champions League 2022/23. The Wednesday, the 'cityzens' and the Inter of Milan confirmed the advantage obtained in the gone equalising in front of Bayern Munich (1-1) and Benfica (3-3), respectively, with which both classified with an unexpected holgura.

And it is that, to the sortearse the quarter-finals, both crosses lucían very parejos, especially the City-Bayern. However, the Bavarian internal crisis, that derived in the arrival of Thomas Tuchel to the bench, facilitated the things to a group directed by Pep Guardiola relentless in attack to take advantage of the defensive errors of the German team. The Inter also bet by the efficiency to throw to a Benfica unable to rid of the 'curse' European that pursues him from does decades. Like this they resolved the crosses of chambers, with the classification of the AC Milan like big surprise of the phase.

The Madrid took advantage of of Chelsea in crisis

As it was foreseen, the Real Madrid did not have problems to rid of Chelsea in free fall. The unexpected arrival of Frank Lampard did not suppose relief any to the crisis 'blue' and the group directed by Carlo Ancelotti finish winning both parties by identical marker (2-0). Vinicius Jr., Karim Benzema and Rodrygo Goes loaded with the offensive weight of a Madrid that, as it has been habit in the last two years, had to a Thiabut Courtois immense in the arch so that the team resolved the eliminatory without receiving goals.

The napolitanos paid expensive his inefficiency in front of the Milan

The Napoli grieve could rescue a tie on the hour home in the turn (1-1), insufficient result for his aspirations after the 1-0 harvested by the Milan the past week in Saint Siro. The group 'partenopeo' dominated both parties, but wasted innumerable opportunities and fell in front of a 'rossoneri' that took out the caste of Italian champion and seven times European monarch to resist the siege napolitano and advance stuck to the goals of Bennacer (gone) and Giroud (turn), as well as to the timely interventions of the French goalkeeper Mike Maignan, indisputable 'MVP' of the key.

The Inter was always practical in front of the Benfica

Inter And Benfica contested an eliminatory unpublished in which the group 'nerazzurri' bet by the hit and the defensive solidity to seal his first pass to 'semis' from the 2009/10. In the gone, the ones of Simone Inzaghi imposed after a big second part with so many of Barella and Lukaku. In the turn in Italy, the lusos threw of pride to trace back a 3-1 on the end, but the tie (3-3) did not serve of at all. Barella, Lautaro and Joaquín Correa marked by the venues and, as in the 2002/03, there will be 'derbi della Madonnina' in 'semis'.

The errors of Upamecano destroyed to the Bayern

The 'final advanced' between Manchester City and Bayern Munich was conditioned by the errors of Dayot Upamecano. The central French committed three very grave errors that encarrilaron the eliminatory in favour of the group 'sky blue', although in a lot of stretches of both parties there was parity in the game. Rodri And Erling Haaland promoted to the ones of Pep Guardiola in the gone (3-0). The turn in Munich very could be different, but the Bavarians did not have puntería and hardly rescued a tie (1-1). Now, the City will go to by the revancha in front of the Real Madrid in search of his first 'orejona'.
