Real Madrid have really started to become one of the strongest candidates of the Champions League title now. Because they eliminated PSG by a great work first. And now, they are very close to eliminating the last champion team of the tournament, Chelsea. And their next opponent in the semi finals is going to be Manchester City or Atletico Madrid. Most probably, it would be Manchester City. But whichever of them make it there, I'm still going to favour Real Madrid as I've been very impressed by their effort.
Please, Real Madrid aren't any candidates for the title. They had an easy again against Chelsea which even them were surprised. Some silly mistakes were made by the players and real Madrid team seize their opportunity and scored. And if They were to progress to the next stage and was to play Manchester City, they'll easily be destroyed.
Real Madrid didn't play with much convictions. They played like they weren't worried about the game. The game statistics favors Chelsea but thy will loss If they play in such manners against Manchester city yor Liverpool, their keeper will have to pick the ball tirelessly from his goal post.
If you look at the statistics, Real Madrid is not the top favourite. However, we can assume that they will advance to the semi-finals. Real Madrid still has a strong team, with players who are among the absolute best in the world. There is currently no striker in better form than Benzema. This Real Madrid can actually beat anyone. It's not for nothing that they won the CL 3 seasons in a row. Modric is also very strong. City can also lose to Madrid. We'll have to see if Bayern can make it, I especially thought they were bad against Villareal in the first half and it's a miracle that it only stayed 1-0.
It is true that the statistics of the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match show Chelsea are more dominant and create more chances. But because of
some mistakes by Chelsea players, it gave Real Madrid a chance to score. But don't forget that Real Madrid is still the team with the most
Champions League trophies, Real Madrid has won 13 trophies. So I think it's very natural if we look at the history of Real Madrid, making
Real Madrid as one of the candidates who will win the Champions League trophy this season. Moreover, the last time they won the Champions
League trophy was in 2018, it was a long time ago, this should make Real Madrid even more motivated to win the Champions League trophy.
Before beating Chelsea in the first leg of the quarter-finals, Real Madrid managed to get rid of PSG who had many star players,
So for me it makes perfect sense if Real Madrid is the favorite to win the Champions League trophy this season.
