if the worst is possible for Benzema when he has not recovered, it will certainly have a big impact again for Real Madrid. chances of victory could be Chelsea's if observers see Madrid having problems with their main players.
The fight between two big teams, of course, will be a concern for all fans. I will not miss placing a bet on this match. narrow win for Chelsea.

Still have several week later before 1st leg between Chelsea vs Real Madrid have FIFA or International matchday break out give advantage and recovery day for Karim Benzema, looks most difficult performance if Real Madrid playing without Karim Benzema. Last defeated from Barcelona on domestic league we can see how most depended Real Madrid with Karim Benzema. I hope still have two week later before 1st leg begin on April 7th Karim Benzema could back to the team early, maybe he should play on domestic league early before begin on champion league because ask him play first on champion league most terrible last 1st leg when PSG defeated Real Madrid 1-0.
Karim Benzema has grown to become one of the standout players in the Real Madrid team,and the whole team is dependant on him now.They did not do well against Barcelona,allowing Barcelona to flog them Mercilessly the way they did.

And for the Champions league game against Chelsea, I see them being eliminated by Chelsea,because judging  them from their performance against Barcelona,you'll see  that they can't even get a draw from Chelsea's game.
I don't see Real Madrid qualifying for the next round of the champions league, after they would played with the defending champions, Chelsea. Blues has what it takes to eliminate Real Madrid. Real Madrid are depending on their top striker Karim Benzema for goals. Even in their game against Barcelona, they lost to Barcelona because their was no finisher for them, same thing will be applicable against Chelsea. Let's hope that Benzema makes it on time and gained fitness before their clash with blues.

I also don't know who the favorite is in the match between Chelsea and Real Madrid. A lot will depend on Benzema's form of the day. The last time against Barcelona it was a disappointment, if you don't have Benzema available in the Champions League against Chelsea, that's a nice harbinger to be eliminated I think. They have plenty of other good players but someone like a striker like Benzema can make all the difference, as we saw against PSG. That was really great.
Both Real Madrid and Chelsea are good teams overall. But at their meeting the coach's strategy, if applied properly, the team will win. Of course, without the influence of external factors, if there are external factors too it will be difficult to predict. But I am sure that Real Madrid will be able to overcome Chelsea again and qualify for the semifinals.

I personally will still choose Chelsea even if Benzema recovers later because at the moment, Chelsea are a very good team in their performance on the pitch. What's more, basically Chelsea have the best goalkeeper in the world in my view and yes, that is Edouard Mendy. I am very sure, Mendy will be able to make many strikers like Benzema have difficulty to score goals against Mendy. So yes, whether or not Benzema will play against Chelsea, I personally believe that Chelsea as the defending champion will be able to overcome this tough opponent to get back to the semifinals or even to the final again.

I don't think that Manchester City will be in a big trouble against Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals. Atletico Madrid may have eliminated Manchester United. And it was a great success for them of course. But Manchester City are a much more serious opponent for them. They are among the biggest favourite teams for the Champions League title. And we know how strong they are in the Champions League this season. Atletico Madrid are a team that are solid in defense. But I don't think that they can resist especially in Etihad.
Pep and Simone have been met many times when Pep was still in Spain (Barcelona), so they already know each weakness, so that different from MU. I saw this as a reunion also, as we know Barcelona (Pep as Coach) has beaten Athletico several times, that possible he will use the same strategy to beat them. but, on another side, Simeone also knows his weakness, so this will be a great match to watch, and maybe there will be a surprise at the end of the round.
The meeting of Manchester city and ATM in the quarter-finals of the champions league might be a revenge arena for the English team against the representatives of Spain, because in the last 16 round yesterday, ATM managed to silence Manchester United, but this time ATM faced Manchester City, it is certain that ATM will have difficulty beating Manchester city, because Manchester city plays very consistently and plays very well, both in the champions league and in their domestic league, my prediction is that ATM steps will stop in the quarter-finals, because I am optimistic that Manchester city will be able to qualify for the semi-finals of the champions league.

both coaches know each other and they can analyze the tactics that the opponent will use. but with different players, surely the coaches of both teams already have the ultimate strategy to target the opponent's weaknesses.
City will probably have more advantages in the meeting later. but Atletico has a counter-attack that can stun City's midfield and defense when focused on attack.

The match between Real Madrid and Chelsea is trickish kind of. But there is a strong determining factor in that very match, which is the availability of Karem Benzema. If Benzema is not available for Real Madrid they will big trouble in that particular match.
I think that the absence of Benzema in EL Classico is enough to prove that his influence is quite big enough for the team. I am sure that it was the best choice at that time because Benzema is experiencing a calf injury. ANd now he is in the recovery process. WIth around 2 weeks, I really hope that Benzema has recovered optimally, so he can be involved in the match against Chelsea. I am sure that Benzema has fit at all and ready to play with his team.

And we know how strong they are in the Champions League this season. Atletico Madrid are a team that are solid in defense. But I don't think that they can resist especially in Etihad.

For me, the Man City vs Atletico match is very easy to predict, because after all, Man City is too strong to be beaten by Atletico. It's true that
it's a very good achievement if Atletico manages to get rid of Man United, but don't forget Man United's form has been very bad this season,
so Atletico should be able to beat Man United. While Man City is a different team from Man United, Man City's performance is very stable,
they are doing very well in the Premier League or in the Champions League. Moreover, Man City failed to win the Champions League trophy
in 2021 after being defeated by Chelsea in the final, so this year Man City's ambition is much bigger to win the Champions League trophy for
the first time. And I predict it will be difficult for a team like Atletico to stop Man City's ambitions, especially in terms of quality, Man City has
quality players. So it is very unlikely that Atletico will be able to get rid of Man City.

I don't think that Manchester City will be in a big trouble against Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals.
I don't think so too, no disrespect to Athletico Madrid but i believe City will be too strong for them and i expect the champions of England to progress to the next round, Athletico will come into the game with a defensive mindset for sure, just as they always do, and i think that will be their own undoing as City will throw everything at them and get a couple of goals. Having said that, if Athletico are to have any chance in this game then they must change their philosophy of parking the bus, if they come into this game with that tactic, they are going to get beat pretty well.

Chelsea and Real Madrid are different teams. Chelsea are not like PSG as their system is completely different. Chelsea really like to annoy their opponents by their solid defense. But Real Madrid have the right player like Benzema to be still very strong in attacking. Chelsea will need to play really smart or they will be destroyed. This is my opinion.

Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is a really close one I believe. Real Madrid seem to be much more serious for the title this year. And they have proved it by eliminating PSG already I believe. PSG were a huge target to eliminate for them. But Chelsea shouldn't be seen as an easier target. Because it shouldn't be forgotten that they were the champions of last season. Real Madrid should get at least a draw in the first leg to have a bigger chance. They would play much stronger in Santiago Bernabeu after that.
The game involving Chelsea and  Madrid is going to be a tough game because both teams have had the experience of Champions league. Am not going to talk about who wins in the game because football this days is unpredictable and the two team  is in a good form this season so i think i will support the better team to win I won't give any club a win based on the odd but the performance in the field of play.

But if Benzema will be available, Chelsea will not qualify. I am not undermining Chelsea as a club but there is what I am seeing. Chelsea's strength is a team strength and they believe the decision of their coach because he has been doing well.
If you look at Real Madrid attack, if Vinicius jr is making those his runs, it will distract the defence and Benzema will strike. He has high level accuracy. With Vinicius and Benzema, Madrid is ahead in attack. Then, if the Madrid coach will stop gambling unknown formations, Madrid midfield is also good.
But Chelsea also has good record against the Spanish side in H2H.

When it comes to the other matchups than the Chelsea - Real Madrid one, Manchester City - Atletico Madrid can be the second toughest matchup of this stage. Manchester City are still going to be the closest side to advance obviously but their opponent is not a team to be undervalued certainly. Atletico Madrid have started improving their effort and results in the recent times. And this can help them do nice things in Wanda Metropolitano at least. But the first leg is in Etihad Stadium. And Manchester City can get a win by two goals at least and have a good advantage already.

The quarter-finals are not an easy match to predict too early to say Madrid won especially the first leg at Stamford Bridge
I have no doubts about Real Madrid  ability and experience it's just that in the champions league every team has to take advantage of opportunities when playing at home to secure points , I'm not sure Madrid won at Stamford Bridge even a draw is the best result.

I think ok, this is going to be a hard nut to crack for everyone and the actual result of this match we will be able to get is after the match. otherwise, anything we predict can go wrong. 

all I know is both the teams have the capability to win and advance to the next stage, both teams seem to be at the same level of performance right now. Even though the loss against Barcelona might feel a little harsh for Real Madrid fans, that math was not their main focus in my opinion. because they have to be ready for Chelsea in the Champions League.
Without a doubt the match of Real Madrid and Chelsea is the most difficult one to predict, and while it is true the Real Madrid gave a weak exhibition against Barcelona and in the eyes of the true fans this is disgraceful as Barcelona is their main rival, we need to also take into consideration that Real Madrid right now is concentrated on the Chelsea and no one else, so I think it is unfair to use a single game to try to disregard the potential the Real Madrid has to move to the next round.

I'm also thinking that Real Madrid will be eliminating Chelsea in this round of the CL. Maybe it won't be that easy as Chelsea still have a good defense. But Real Madrid are far better at attacking and scoring this season compared to the previous one. And as long as Benzema is able to play, they are going to be a huge threat to Chelsea in this matchup. And it is time to have their revenge on Chelsea too. Because last season, Chelsea eliminated them in the semi finals.
I also think Real will not be able to win against Chelsea. Chelsea are a very experienced team. I have seen the gameplay of Real Madrid against Barcelona. Was very weak. They will only win if Chelsea play offensively and keep Benzema at bay. Because whether or not Real Madrid's gameplay will be good depends a lot on Benzema's performance. On the other hand, the understanding among the Chelsea players is very good.
I would take Real Madrid ahead of Chelsea to go to the semi final but not  after I watch there game against Barcelona, Barcelona outplayed them in every department and win them with a heavy scoreline 0-4. Chelsea are doing well on there own and have lot of talented players that can curse real Madrid issue players like Kai Harvetz, Pulusic Lukaku on his day, but if Chelsea want to qualifying from this stage it will depend greatly on the fitness of Ngolo Kante.

After I watched the El Clasico match my assessment of Real Madrid changed a bit. It is very clear that the Real Madrid midfield is very fragile,
Barcelona players easily control the ball. Moreover, Chelsea, which in my opinion has far better quality players than Barcelona, it should be
if Tuchel can use the right strategy, it is not impossible that Chelsea can do what Barcelona did to Real Madrid. Moreover, in the El Clasico match,
it was very clear that Real Madrid's front line was very bad without Benzema's presence. Chelsea can take advantage of Real Madrid's weakness,
if Benzema plays against Chelsea, Tuchel only needed to order some of his players to mark Benzema tightly until Benzema's movement was limited.
Because if Benzema can be stopped I believe Real Madrid will find it difficult to score goals. So I want to change my prediction regarding
the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match, I am currently choosing Chelsea as the favorite who will qualify for the semifinals.
