Actually the first leg is always a pretty important match. but unfortunately the first leg looks like it will be the most difficult match for Chelsea. I admit Chelsea have had some improvements. but still against Real Madrid is the most difficult task in the Champions League. in addition to the first leg which will be held at home to Real Madrid. certainly will make the advantage more in favor of Real Madrid. But I expect a more interesting match in the fight. I hope Chelsea provide meaningful resistance in that match. although it might be quite difficult to win. but I want to see how the young forwards of Chelsea fight against the more experienced Real Madrid players and even some who are not young anymore. i thought it would be interesting.
You know what ... everyone around the globe would surely underestimating chelsea and saying real madrid far better and would score a lot of goals and through the semi final easily , that's normal ... even chelsea fans themselves admitted that their team are in the worst situation and fucked up.
Just like the last meet between them , chelsea often surprising real madrid recently.
You know why, it's only natural that many will favor Real Madrid in this match. First, as we know, how Chelsea is currently performing. how when they won the game over Dortmund, and how they went through their matches in local competitions. so, everything is considered by us. well, it's only natural that Real Madrid is the favorite to qualify for the next round.
On the other hand, even though Madrid's performance is currently experiencing a decline. however, in terms of readiness, team mentality, and especially winning mentality, Madrid is above Chelsea. after all, it looks like Don Carlo will focus his team more on this competition than on his domestic league competition.
However, in a match anything can happen. we are well aware, that every result will be determined when the battle is held. but since we are talking in the scope of speculation and predictions, it is clear that Madrid is the favourite, without taking Chelsea for granted.
