UCL: Osimhen scores but Napoli crashes out, Madrid defeats Chelsea to reach semifinals

Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen scored but could not entirely save Napoli as they crashed out of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

Osimhen, who was absent in the first leg of their quarter-final tie with AC Milan due to injury, was present in the return fixture and played the whole 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea lost 2-0 again to Real Madrid , having also lost 2-0 in the first leg of the tie at the Bernabeu last week.

Chelsea missed a succession of clear chances while the Spanish champions had moments of their own and converted twice through Rodrygo in the 58th and 80th minutes.

Real Madrid, holders of the title, are into the semifinal of the championship.

But it was Milan who carried the day despite a 1-1 draw with the Naples club at the Diego Maradona stadium, and advancing to the semifinals with a 2-1 aggregate win.

A 43rd-minute goal by Olivier Giroud sealed the win for the vistors after he had missed a penalty early on. Napoli had an earlier chance to equalize but Kvaratskhelia also missed a penalty for the hosts.
