Chelsea 0-3 ahead in Madrid. Who would have thought? I couldn't believe it when I saw it. It now looks very likely that Chelsea will qualify. Madrid may have already counted rich after that 1-3 victory in London, but are now getting the lid on the nose. They still have a chance, we still have fifteen minutes to play. But it looks like it won't work again and Chelsea will continue. City probably too and Liverpool the same, so it looks like we have 3 teams from England in the semi-finals together with Bayern Munich or Villareal.

ya.ya.yo!
What a fight back by FC Chelsea amazing skills and quality between these two big giants of European soccer fighting hard until end for their spot into next round, but I am shocked as FC Chelsea is playing in this match at Santiago Bernabéu I was never expecting fight like this with Benzema is having nothing good in this match just one yellocard.

Now it's just 4 minutes remaining, and both matches are on level in score from this we can say we will go into extra time in both matches Villarreal is also playing one off their best game against FC Bayern Munich and not allowing them to do something good if they are able to bring home team into extra time surely this could be big success for them because FC Bayern Munich is the biggest giant into European Leagues and Villarreal is currently struggling in Spanish League but still fighting like this is amazing job from these yellow guys.

Edit: 90th minute precious goal from Villarreal give them spot into this year's semifinal which is the biggest upset for this season as well.

The thrilling Santiago Bernabeu. Benzema did not shine like when he played at Stamford Bridge in the 1st leg.
I guess this time around it's Chelsea's time to shine and with Masson Mount on a brace and how well this team is playing, this lad could land a hat trick for himself! But before anything how did real Madrid find themselves chasing this game from easy progression without breaking a sweat to break a leg.... I didn't see this coming, hope Madrid crashes out they don't seem like a team that wants to progress !

Bayern Munich looks like they could be packing 1-1 as it stands and 1-2 on aggregate.

Real Madrid found their way back into the game as Modric "art" found rodrygo who headed home for Real Madrid to keep the tie at draw 4-4. Now Chelsea must prevent Madrid from building momentum and score an extra goal; while Madrid also must not concede. Beautiful champions league tie!!!
Both teams played well, but Chelsea had the better clinical finish. But sadly they couldn't hold on to that 0-3 lead for much longer after Rodrygo came on. Now on aggregate it's level again and it's 4-4, something that was unexpected before but that's what Chelsea are hoping to do in this match.

Similar to the Munich match with Villareal, aggregate is still a draw and is likely to enter extra time.

The thrilling Santiago Bernabeu. Benzema did not shine like when he played at Stamford Bridge in the 1st leg. Chelsea's beautiful game with extraordinary strategy made the Santiago Bernabeu like a Chelsea stadium. Once again Chelsea will make history that they are able to conquer the club that has the most UCL trophies this year.
Thomas Tuchel is a genius.
But the match is still going on. Keep it up Real Madrid fans.

Bayern Munchen vs Villareal
Bayern is trying their best since the start of the match till now, they have been the one attacking as expected while Villareal is defending. The plans of Villareal seem working before Lewandoski altered everything with a goal. The battle now continues and there is no much drama in this match.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea
Here is the very bundle of drama playing out. I didn't expect this drama playing out. I am not sure my neighbours anticipated it as well. But it will really be shameful that Real Madrid will end their excellent outing in shame. Well it is the wonders of champions league. Yet, I am expecting a goal from RM, it is not over yet.

Wow Chelsea achieve the third goal. Shocked
It was overturned by the referee, the aggregate is still 3-3 now. But I believe Chelsea will win in the second leg and qualify for the semifinals. Real Madrid have really struggled to score so far even though they've had chances a few times, of course that's a problem for them. If Chelsea score the third goal then I really believe their chances of qualifying will be lost. It's been a great comeback from Chelsea. Looking forward to Chelsea's third goal now.

Real Madrid 0 - 2 Chelsea

With this temporary result, Chelsea has a bigger chance. Even though both teams look evenly matched but Chelsea has a more promising attack than Real Madrid and their movement without the ball is pretty good too. Meanwhile, Real Madrid seems to be struggling to break down Chelsea's defense.
I really didn't think, that chelsea were able to make 2 goals at home to madrid when madrid was at their full strength

WTF... the third goal was scored by Mendoza in the 62nd minute chelsea are currently leading the game with a score of 3-0

At the moment, rudiger managed to achieve the second goal to reassure the Chelsea fans, I think that Real are in a race against time to return in the match and achieve at least one goal and avoid other problems that caused him to be excluded.
Real Madrid are beginning to move forward, but Chelsea's back lines are firmer. Wow Chelsea achieve the third goal. Shocked

Its half time this champions league night and the odd seems to not be in anyones favor lol. It remains a draw at the Allianz Arena as Villareal continue to hold up tight to their 1 goal advantage against the attacks of Bayern Munich; Meanwhile, Mason mount has given Chelsea a lifeline with his in the first half against Madrid. Who will qualify to the next stage?
Very interesting to watching these match.Chelsea is playing aggressive plan against Real Madrid.1st now Real 3-2 Chelsea, If second half Chelsea can do better something. I hope Chelsea can qualify in next round.Bayern did try  to score in 1st half but they didn’t do it.I hope Bayern will win in second half i hope Bayern will be qualify for next round.
After end of first half both matches are very interesting as Bayern Munich is having very good control on all but still looking for their first goal of this match which showing how Villarreal is strong in defense for this match against team like Bayern Munich, hopefully we will have good entertaining match in second half as well.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid is also going to be anybody game after having first half in control of Chelsea with current situation we can say both teams have equal chance for qualifying into semi-final of this year's Champions League but as Chelsea playing most chances they can give shock to home team but still it's not easy for them, we can expect some tactical changes from home team for second half because now it's do-or-die match for both teams and aggressive Chelsea will be more lethal in second half.

Playing this Villarreal side should be so frustrating for Bayern Munich because firstly they have packed the bus which has limited Bayerns shooting chances and they have so many time wasting tactics but should they concede, I honestly don't see them fighting back!

Else where in Europe Chelsea leads Real Madrid 1-0 can the blues turn the tables around...I don't think so! Second half about to kick off let's wait and see how it unfolds.

A little surprised, but not shocked. They saw how frustrated Bayern could get in front of their own fans, Emery must think the same crowd in Spain. Incredible how the stadium filled out (the entire Villareal population won't even fill out 70% of Allianz!) but hard to see past the sea of red. Wonder how many away tickets allocated.

Parking the bus has its merits, but already finally down a goal, though the Germans better conjure up magic to break this wall down again, so far looks more of the same toothless attacks and joyless shithousery from the Spaniards ha!

Villarreal is a yellow wall. Defensively is the extreme tactic today. There were a few shots on goal from Bayern in the first 45 minutes, but that's all. I think there will be many changes until the 60 minute if it is still 0-0. Gnabry and Sabitzer will come in. So the next 45 minutes will be more offensive...they need to be more offensive.
Unai Emery's defensive strategy has been quite effective so far because indeed they can still anticipate and withstand attacks by Bayern because there are quite a lot of kicks fired by Bayern that are driven by Muller in midfield but only one is on target and there is no goal.
This match is quite interesting because indeed if Villarreal continues to play well like this it will be very difficult for Bayern to create goals

The second half is live and it will be interesting to see how Ancelotti sorts out the poor first half from the madrid team, Kovacic is doing numbers on them and perhaps it could be time for camavinga to come on or perhaps spread wing play. Bayern munich meanwhile just have to score. Thats the only ticket to the next round

What a fantastic half from Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel, the high pressing is back and they’re in control of the game. The discipline is great, the energy is full and the self motivation of the players is amazing. One more goal and then the final will begin. I see Chelsea winning this game if Real Madrid continue playing like how they played the first half. Real Madrid players think they already won the game from the first leg. Chelsea need to hit the attacks faster goin into the second half and at same time keeping the defense intact to avoid goals. If they can do this and score more goals, I think they’ll win this game.

I must say, Chelsea have annoyingly impressed me today. I've got a vendetta against them since they've cost me so much money over the years, especially this year. They're like my bogey team, but they've been playing absolutely brilliant up to this point. The only disappointment for them I think will be that they haven't managed to score more than one goal in the first half. I expect Real Madrid to look to counter in the second half, with Chelsea having most of the possession. Could potentially be going to extra time this game.

Also, for tomorrows games I expect Liverpool to win 3-0, and I think Man City will now be able to run away with the game now that Atletico Madrid have to chase the game, and not play their usual sit back, and hope approach.

It seems that the first half now Chelsea dominated and their temporary advantage was still the score at the end of this first half.
it's quite interesting now how Madrid couldn't develop their game against the chelsea defense and couldn't create any goal chances during this first half because there were only a few shots but it wasn't dangerous.
for round 2 there may be a little surprise from Madrid because of course they don't want to give a victory that is in front of their eyes taken voluntarily
chelsea today performed with the best strategy and spirit...

the blue team is my favorite for a long time, their loss in the 1st leg really broke my heart, this time they are only 1 goal behind (3-2 on aggregate) from madrid, although the chance to advance to the next round is small but I still support chelsea.

madrid 0 - 1 chelsea

Goal.
M. Mount scored with a relaxed manner that opened hope for Chelsea to qualify for the next stage. So far Chelsea are very dominant in the game. Is Real Madrid unable to stop Chelsea with a capital victory in the 1st leg?
Unfortunately, the match has only lasted 15 minutes but Real Madrid have already conceded 1 goal which makes it 3-2 on aggregate now. It's not very good if Chelsea score 2 goals in the first half and I don't want that. I don't expect Real Madrid to be comfortable enough with their lead in the first leg, they have to score and ruined Chelsea's hopes of qualifying.
In terms of the game during the first 45 minutes, Chelsea was dominating. Is it because they (Chelsea) think that their hopes of qualifying are very slim so they play without pressure?

Chelsea started the game well and they managed to score their first goal of the day to reduce the aggregate goals to 3-2, chelsea game looked more well organized at the start of the first half so this caused panic and pressure on real madrid, I think with the goal scored by mount in the 15th minute it made chelsea more confident to turn things around today, and I see at this moment the real madrid defense looks a little weak so chelsea players are too easy to penetrate,I think ancelotti needs to pay a little attention to madrid defense right now if he doesn't want to concede again.
Carlo Ancelotti must correct the pattern of Real Madrid's game in the second 45 minutes if he does not want the chances of qualifying for Real Madrid to disappear because this match takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu which is famous as a stadium that makes it difficult for every opponent.
