Truly, Real Madrid and Chelsea have come this far but I still rate Real Madrid above Chelsea in the UCL this season. You could tell of it in their past matches of this season and even the first leg of the quarter-final, Chelsea is no match for Real Madrid. And presently, Real Madrid is at an aggregate advantage of 2 over Chelsea and I know that they will beat the blues easily in their next meeting next week.
From their general performance in this season and their latest forms, it makes sense to rate Real Madrid above Chelsea. They are actually stronger than Chelsea and their first meeting is an evidence for this fact. Chelsea did not play too bad and they had tried to score goals at Bernabeu but eventually they ended it with nothing.
A 0 - 2 defeat is still a lucky result for Chelsea as it was not a best day of Real Madrid attacking players. In their better days, they can score more goals to Chelsea and nail their position in Champions League semi final before their second meeting at Stamford Bridge.
I expect the same thing gonna happen with chelsea once real madrid will be coming to the stamford bridge. Chelsea needs more than a miracle to make it happen. Chelsea needs to rebuild its tone. Lampard was also having so many problems with the club as well as the players of chelsea itself.
Chelsea will try to play more attacking at their home stadium as they must have a first goal as early as possible. However this hurry approach can be harmful for Chelsea as Real Madrid are so dangerous with counter attacking. They have creative midfielders like Kroos, Modric with deadly key passes and Valverde with very powerful distant shots. At their front line, Vinicius and Rodrygo can use their speed to break down Chelsea defense including offside trap any time. Benzema is always ready in the box to smell opportunities and find the net.
If Chelsea won't have good plan to control Vinicius and Rodrygo at two swings, they will face with a big defeat at home.
