If Real madrid are targeting to win the Champions league,  then it will make things easy for Barcelona to win laliga  because it will be impossible for Real Madrid to win the champions league and laliga.  The champions league is not easy one to get,  their is no how they can give the best performance in laliga.

IMO, I'm guessing. In last night's match, Don Carlo was trying to experiment with his formation, he implemented the 4-2-3-1 pattern. unfortunately, the result is not effective. and that doesn't mean Real Madrid was unable to keep up with Barcelona's game in the El Clasico match. in the second half, Ancelotti returned to his usual formation with a 4-3-3 pattern, and the situation changed quite a bit. Madrid was able to offset the game from Barcelona, ​​they even had several opportunities. Unfortunately, Asensio's goal had to be disallowed by VAR. even though Madrid lost, at least the games of the two Spanish giants were quite even.

Referring to the quarter-final match later. on paper, Madrid has a higher chance than its opponent. moreover, the first leg match will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu. so, however Madrid is more in the favorites to qualify for the next phase. after all, they have advantages over other teams. that is, the mentality of a champion.

Speaking of Chelsea, I don't want to take Graham Potter's team lightly. however, their performance has not shown significant changes. plus, the system that Potter implemented didn't seem to work the way he wanted. I don't know, maybe something is an obstacle in their locker room. however, because this match still has a time lag. at least, the two coaches will maximize their team to perform optimally in the match later. so, let's wait.

I don't think that Real Madrid's result yesterday will have huge impact on their champions league tie against Chelsea.
Real Madrid winning mentality is second to no other team that's still in the competition and they are a very solid side with the current best player in the world in their side.

Chelsea in the other hand has a high quality set of of players who can beat anyone on their day. I'm a Chelsea fan and would want them to win the tie but that doesn't change the fact that Real Madrid are favorite to win the tie

Barcelona is a fierce team, but they were not able to adjust quickly enough, which is why they lose the Champions League early. Barcelona will perform better than they did this season. In the Champions League, Real Madrid has a another chance of winning the title again, but I also do not want to underestimate the chance of Chelsea winning. After a worse Premier League performance, Chelsea is more desperate and focusing on the Champions League too. Keep in mind the shocking victories of Chelsea in the Champions League two years ago. Anyhow, I am excited for the upcoming matches. The leading team to win this year will be between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Additionally, I anticipate more from Napoli.

Chelsea's performance in the champions league was not actually that bad, I'm pretty sure they have a very fair chance of qualifying against Real Madrid, especially because both of them are struggling I their leagues, especially Chelsea, so both will put all their effort in this face off, so I would not underestimate Chelsea in this one, and I'm actually considering betting on them to qualify.

Anyway, if for example at this moment Real Madrid are in a better situation in La Liga, then Real Madrid will still be good in the Champions League too. So, even though at this moment Real Madrid's chances of winning the title in La Liga are very low, but it doesn't mean that Real Madrid is making a choice between La Liga or the Champions League.

Also, even though Real Madrid is still very good so far in the Champions League, I assume that Real Madrid also cannot guarantee to win the Champions League title this season. because there is still Bayern Munich or Manchester City that Real Madrid will face in the semi-finals, of course it will be a difficult semi-final. However, if one of them makes it to the final, then their percentage is very high to win the title.

In the end, as I said in other places, Real Madrid are betting everything on the Champions League
given that in La Liga he has the very big obstacle of the super fierce Barcelona
I think he made the right choice

Both Bayern Munich and Manchester City want to win the Champions League. At the same time, they want to win the Bundesliga and Premier League titles. Fighting for two titles will leave them behind. And so now teams should focus on either one. If Munich only focus on the Champions League match, they have the potential to beat Manchester City. Moreover, City's overall performance depends on Haaland's performance. The city won't win against Munich if Haaland doesn't play well.

I regret seeing teams from Serie A in the same chart, so they only have the possibility of meeting until the semifinals. If only they were on separate charts it would be interesting to see them in the final, yes although that is a tough one to make happen.
Chelsea's current form is unclear, it's no wonder that many people doubt them, especially when the opponent they will face is Real Madrid.

Nobody underestimates Chelsea and I never would have thought only Real Madrid would have a higher chance of making the semi-finals. Even though Chelsea don't have good performance in the Premier League, of course they are one of the teams that can be a threat. I don't want Ancelotti to underestimate Chelsea, Madrid have to do the same as they did when they beat Liverpool. The advantage of the first leg must be achieved, especially this is away match.

There is an interesting quote when Potter says something about Ancelotti: Potter in awe of Ancelotti's aura, looks like he knows what to do in the quarter-finals. Here he is.

I see all people all focused on those two games but I like that finally we will see most likely a Italian team in finals. It has been to long since we saw that. Also I would like to see Milan-Inter in semifinals. Those would bring some memories from childhood.

Estimates between Real Madrid vs Chelsea, most cast doubt on Chelsea's ability. Of course this prediction will reverse if Chelsea faces other clubs in the UCL. This requires extra work to be able to win the competition. Real Madrid knocked Liverpool out in the last 16, of course this is a consideration when facing Chelsea who are also from the Premier League.

Yes. An interesting match will be Bayern vs Manchester City, both of which are the strongest clubs in the league this season still in the UCL. It is very difficult to predict who will advance to the next round.

Madrid's next opponent is Chelsea, not Munich. how do you say it? if you predict the final match, maybe it will happen, but against Munich is Man City, both are quite strong, so it is difficult to predict victory.
Madrid will be favored to qualify, as Chelsea has not had a consistent game. many people doubt that Chelsea can outsmart Madrid as they did against Dortmund.
Madrid might qualify, and they have a better chance than anyone else in the quarter-finals. but we could have another surprise in the Champions League.

Real Madrid is a very strong team in the Champions League. And they have played well in every Champions League match. It seems that the first priority of the Madrid management is the Champions League. And then they will focus on winning the La Liga title. Beating Real Madrid in the Champions League will not be easy. They played well in both matches against Liverpool. It is expected that they will start preparing for the match against Bayern Munich.

yeah, chelsea has turned to be a mediocrea team since tuchel got sacked. That's not player's fault but coach is having responsibility over the performance from the team. As you can see that how potter was always making so many failed experiment.
That's very sad to see that more than a half of billion wasted nothing. I guess that's gonna be a different thing when it was jose mourinho.

Potter's mistakes

1. Always change strategy and it's not suit with the formation
2. Always making bad substitution. Tbh the substitutions that already made by potter was always out of my mind.
3. Keep repeating the same mistake over and over

The first leg gonna be a huge challenge for chelsea caused by it will be playing at UCL king's home.
Im tired to see that how potter is managing chelsea.

I started to doubt Real Madrid's consistency too because they are not too good when it comes scoring of goals this days, that is why Barcelona beat them in all competitions this season. But when it comes to Champions League, Real Madrid is something entirely different because they knows how to play Champions League better than any team, moreover Chelsea are not yet stable interns of performance, so they have less chances of winning g compared to Real Madrid.

Point of correction please, Chelsea is not playing like a low level club. Chelsea is an undoubtedly a low level club right now. No amount of arguments can convince me that Potter is the right man for the Chelsea at the moment. He's a mediocre couch with no vibes. There's no way he can stand Anceloti in Santiago. Despite Madrid difficult form, Chelsea doesn't stand a chance of winning unless football does it wonders. Couch unfavorable decision is killing spirit gradually.

Chelsea supporters forgot that their team's performance was far worse than Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost to a team that has consistently performed in local competitions, while Chelsea's last game ended in a draw with the team in 15th position. I think they are consoling themselves by saying Real Madrid is not in the best form. Comparison of the two teams this season, Real Madrid is superior to Chelsea. I never even hesitate to say Real Madrid can overcome Chelsea.

You are right, it is quite difficult to make a choice between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Both are clubs that have an aggressive games and it could be that Bayern Munich and Manchester City's match ends in a penalty shootout. As for the difference in squad probability, maybe Man City is slightly superior, but only a few percent. It depends on whether or not Bayern Munich's defense can anticipate and be able to guard against Haaland movements.

Chelsea defenses are really bad at this moment. There are many blunders happened during any matches in EPL. I consider that the win against dortmund was pure luck. The problem is potter is still always doing some experiments and it seems like that he will not be stopped to do that shortly. I guess that if people aware about how potter is always making miscalculation at the end of game. That was in result chelsea was always losing full points in EPL. Im not even feeling confidence with the result that already got by chelsea in EPL.
Chelsea may have gotten the same result as liverpool. It needs more than a miracle for chelsea to beat real madrid in santiago bernabeu with the current form. There are so many miscommunications between any players too.

Chelsea played liked a low level club right now.
