I'm still quite skeptical about Prank Lampard being the coach at the moment I know this is the moment Chelsea will bring a change for the better but the truth is we still can't see and he still hasn't had success with a few other clubs as well like Everton and maybe Chelsea a bit higher because they have bought a lot of great players and just how Prank Lampard can make good use of their appearance on the field.

I doubt that Chelsea will have no trouble facing Real Madrid, but you are right that this club is not stable, so what Prank Lampard assigned is what must be resolved, for example in CL he did not qualify, but Prank Lampard at least in the Premier League can bring Chelsea to the top level again even though it's not from the top 4 ranking.

Well from what i am reading in this thread and seeing online, it seems quite a lot of people now have renewned optimism for Chelsea against Real Madrid because they now have a new caretaker manager in the person of Frank Lampard, i get that feeling, and i am pretty sure the Stamford Bridge faithfuls would be buzzing right now, Lampard is a club legend and their former manager, so people are well within their rights to expect the best from him, and i am pretty sure he is going to give his best, but i do not think Chelsea are ready or can beat Real Madrid in this CL QF tie, the club is somewhat unstable, and before Lampard can bring that well needed stability, i expect them to already be eliminated from the competition, i'm afraid Real Madrid would just be too strong for them.

I really don't understand why Chelsea brought back Lampard as interim manager, because previously Lampard was sacked and then Chelsea replaced him with Tuchel. With Chelsea's previous dismissal, this should have proven that Lampard cannot be expected too high.

It doesn't matter that Lampard has the status of a legendary player at Chelsea, but in terms of managers and/or coaches, it seems that Lampard has not fully guaranteed good results. Because even, Everton who was previously coached by Lampard, in fact Everton still have to fight to stay away from the relegation zone in the English Premier League.

Therefore, with a track record like that, I think Chelsea is making the wrong move at a very crucial moment like this, and this will really make Chelsea lose their chance in the Champions League.

That's not entirely correct. Real Madrid playing and beating Barcelona is no guarantee that they will easily defeat Chelsea in the Champions League. The Champions League is not the same as La Liga, as proved by Chelsea's elimination of Borussia Dortmund despite their poor form in the Premier League. Chelsea has a good record in the champions league and would like to maintain that record, as would Real Madrid. It's going to be an exciting match to watch.


So much confidence you have in Real Madrid in this upcoming match against Chelsea, which, as I've said before, will not be easy for Real Madrid to win. Chelsea's chances of finishing in the top four of the league have vanished, and this may be the only trophy they fight for this season. You can imagine how serious they'll be in that game to win at any cost.

In this quarter final, attention is clearly focused on the Madrid x Chelsea and Bayern x Manchester City matches because this is where the excitement will definitely happen.
As for Napoli, a big defeat in the domestic league will obviously upset a bit, but I think they are still the favourites.
On the other hand, Osimhen is now certain to play against Milan later and of course this is an added value for Napoli. The problem is they really have to come up with some schemes now because the current strategy is too readable for Milan and it showed in the domestic league last week.

They will have a new coach in their team and Lampard is familiar with the teams he doesn't need much time to use his tactics on Chslea because Chelsea is a team he was playing there for years and he is a famous person there, But I think Lampard is not experienced enough to face with Real Madrid, especially after the recent performance we saw from Real Madrid against Barcelona.

I think it is not just about the tougher league, but more about the fact that we are talking about manager differences. First of all City has a much much better midfield, PSG has basically no midfield at all, have you checked who plays there? It is like they have a car, and put e ferrari engine, and then a lambo chasis, and then the rest was made of 1930 cars, just doesn't fit at all, useless.

However, even bigger difference is that PSG is managed by Galtier, a guy who hasn't managed a big club before in his life, vs Pep who has won multiple cups with all kinds of teams and doing great here too. I think City will win it this year, or given enough time, they will eventually win it without a doubt.

I don't think it's will be very hard for Chelsea to beat Madrid. Chelsea's current position is not very good, the change of the coach will greatly affect the game. Chelsea players must adapt to the new coach's style, and sometimes this is not necessarily going well. Indeed, motivation can beat everything, but Madrid players also has motivation to add their collection of UCL trophies even though they have become king of UCL with the most winners.

I disagree agree with you on this,  Chelsea will be motivated to play with anger after Finding it difficult to get to the top4 in the EPL and with the Champions League as their only hope to play in the Champions League  they will shock Real Madrid and looking at their past history you can see that Chelsea have a good record against Real Madrid except last season that Real Madrid humiliated them in the knock out stage.

Chelsea will be eyeing to get a win in the first leg clash against Real Madrid regardless of their poor performance when it comes to Champions League Chelsea can not lose easily to any team not even to Real Madrid whom they know has more chances of beating them if they don't play very well .

with what Chelsea has experienced this season, of course, Real Madrid is very favorite, even though they don't like it, that's the current reality.
Real Madrid is a team with a very good mentality, especially after they were able to win big over their rivals in the El Clasico match, of course that will increase the team's confidence to perform even better in the next match.
while Chelsea, who recently changed coaches, are still very doubtful about being able to get up.
that way, no one would dare to bet on Chelsea in this match.

although Lampard managed to make Chelsea's players play better. but their opponent is Madrid, obviously, it will not be easy to resist Madrid's aggressiveness in making goals.
indeed Chelsea has good players, Potter's failure should be a lesson for Lampard to form his squad. against Madrid, maybe Chelsea will finish here. but we can see how Lampard will progress in the remaining matches this season. if Chelsea plays better, club management should consider Lampard to be the main coach at the club.

Real Madrid seems like a clear favorite in this match right? Right now even Napoli don't look as confident after losing to Milan in Serie A as Real Madrid who scored 4 goals against Barcelona at the Camp Nou yesterday. I expected Real Madrid to show a good game, but I didn't expect it to be such a confident game. Now with Chelsea they seem to be the clear favourites, but I don't really like it when almost everyone is sure that Real will win, it is in such matches that we are in for surprises.

Anyone that watched the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will sympathies with Chelsea. A club that is coachless playing against a well-organized team with one of the best football technicians in the world. Chelsea has all it takes in terms of quality players to withstand the Real team but the players are not well coordinated to enable them to get winning goals. Chelsea has no chance to win this game except they are favored by mother luck. I don't know how true it is, I heard that Frank Lampard has agreed to manage Chelsea as an interim coach till the end of the season. Chelsea has a history of winning the Champions League with interim or newly appointed coaches. Lampard now has the opportunity to showcase what he has learned from his sack experience.

The coach matters a lot. There are some things that will help the team to win the game

1 team compositions
2 strategy
3 decision making

The coach will be also deciding which player that must be substituted or not. This really giving impact the performance of the club. it does not always depend on the players. The players need someone who can create a good strategy that is used to defeat its opponent.

I think that it's really wrong if the game was depending only on the players. The players always need someone who will able to guide the team to the right track

His condition will increasingly make Madrid the favorite for now, especially if you look at it from the point of view of the conditions where Madrid's performance in the domestic league seems to be finding their performance again.
Chelsea can still compete, it's just very difficult of course for them.
In a week the first leg will start at the Bernabeu and of course Madrid will be even more favorite and will benefit because apart from their good performance, they will also be under the watch of thousands of fans who will fill the stands so this will be even more difficult for Chelsea if they are hit by a trigger from the start .

Assuming there is a new experienced coach, the story would have been different because the boys will definitely sit up in order to impress the new coach. But with Frank Lampard being repeated as a coach till the end of the season is not a good one for Chelsea.
Lampard previously failed in Chelsea, so what has he got this time to give. The boys won't be under pressure to perform. Maybe they will wait till next season when a new coach would be welcomed in order for them to perform.
In conclusion, I have never thought about Chelsea qualifying ahead of Real Madrid and last night action has made me to stick more to my believe.

This match still has enough time for Chelsea to learn the strengths of Real Madrid. but true, on paper Madrid is superior to Chelsea, which is currently in a bad trend. however, that does not mean that Madrid will win the match later easily. at least, Fank Lampard is well aware of the strengths of Real Madrid's players. and, will not let them off the hook easily. the first task that Lampard has to do is, arrange for Chelsea players to play as a team. the rest, let luck decide.

On the other hand, we agree that the probability that Madrid has is very high to overthrow Chelsea, especially since the first leg will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu. I'm pretty sure Don Carlo will not squander this opportunity in the best way he can. because, it is not impossible that Chelsea can give a surprise. in football, anything can happen. So, let's wait and see what these two teams will do. in particular, Chelsea.

The new coach doesn't matter it still depends on players that are playing, this is also a gradual process. Between Chelsea and Real Madrid now the strong team among them is Madrid, if Chelsea win it will be a shock to me and if Madrid loss is going to be a surprise to me. Madrid is far stronger than Chelsea now, is going to be to early for the coach to win Madrid due the performance of the team, they are doing excellently now.

Chelsea can't challenge Real Madrid I'm very sure of that , Real Madrid don't joke with champions league even when playing with a team with the same quality of performance. Chelsea will only as much they can try but it won't stop Real Madrid from winning the game. Real Madrid already knows that Chelsea can't win them, this has already given them more confidence of winning the against Chelsea. Real Madrid already has experience of winning games, Chelsea are trying to get better and it won't be possible for them to win Real madrid.

Man City vs Bayern Munich is an unpredictable match, I would prefer 50:50, even though at this time people will favor Pep Guardiola's troops, whose recent performance is very promising, ready to conquer the German Monster club. On paper, both of them have positive trends, especially in their respective leagues. So I hope both of them are really able to show a fierce game according to the expectations of the fans.

Everyone saw how Napoli was without Osimhen, they had to be beaten 0-4 by Milan in Serie A. The problems faced by Napoli and Osimhen's absence can have an impact on instability in the attack line. It is undeniable that Milan's reunion with Napoli, whose composition of players has not changed, has made Milan confident and trying to repeat the same result.

Agree with you, but that's what the Blues are currently experiencing with expensive players but the results are still far from expectations. When in the hands of Graham Potter even expensive players seemed to have no value to speak of. Now Chelsea is with Frank Lampard, so at least some improvements have been made, even though Lampard is not too suitable to hold this club again. Personally, what I see is that the owner of Chelsea doesn't want to spend any more money, with so many qualified coach options he instead took Lampard.
