It’s funny to me seeing how Hazard is such a flop at Real and he’s wearing the ‘number 7’. I wish he never have left Chelsea.
Benzema Real Madrid remain alive .
A first game in which Chelsea was the best party in every inch on the field .
Tuchel disabled every key that could constitute a quarter of a danger and left the Real without its weapons completely .
Real Madrid survived in the first half, but if they remained, he left these spaces behind the backs and remained his midfield their defense does not help, they will not survive in the second half .

To be honest, I was quite surprised by the game that Chelsea showed playing so well. Even Chelsea can score a goal first, fortunately it won't be
long before Real Madrid can score a goal too. And again Benzema saves Madrid to stay alive, hopefully in the second half Zidane can slightly improve
the strategy used. Especially in defense, don't have too much open space, so it's very dangerous if Chelsea do a counter attack.
Benzema has to be one of the most underrated strikers of all time in the champions League with his 70 goal mark, making him the 5th top scorer in the champions League all time record, I hope he can be the difference for Real Madrid. In between, It would have been great to start Olivier Giroud in this game, it will be spectacular to see two french strikers go head on.
I favorite Real Madrid can win tonight faced with Chelsea how ever Real Madrid most experience team on semi final have collected many time to final stage and get more than 13 time champion league trophy, but Madrid miss their defender Sergio Ramos still injury. Chelsea will play with full team except Kovacic still injury,
I agree that Real Madrid will win. I just do not see them losing this one out because they are such a great team when it comes down to champions league, they have always been greater at champions league than any other team when it comes down to difference they play. I do not mean that they are greatest champions league team (although they have record breaking number of it) I just mean they play so differently when it comes to champions league.At any given year, at any given time, look at how Real Madrid plays in the league, in the cup, and how they play in champions league, they are such a different beast when it comes to champions league. This is why I think it is obvious that they will win because they are not as close as people assume. Real Madrid in the league versus Chelsea in champions league would have been close, chelsea would probably win, but Real in champions league will have a chance to win the title let alone just beat chelsea.
1-1 1st half, I want R Madrid wins to trigger the Mafia Cefelin.
This is a good result for Chelsea with their goal away.
Benzema one of the most consistent number 9 of history.

My prediction is correct this time, matches with high intensity up to both teams to score and over 1.5 have occurred in this first half. With this result, I personally am more confident Madrid will win, even though Chelsea made several good chances but it looks like it will still be difficult for Chelsea to win here. But yes, Madrid's defense is not very good I think and that is a consideration for me and playing in the rain is a challenge for the players.
I would prefer to see Chelsea win in the first leg even if they have to work harder. So far the first half has gone as expected and both team scored and ended the first half 1-1. I still want Chelsea to score at least 2 more goals if they want to have a 50% chance of qualifying and my expected final score is 1-3 or more. Nothing is impossible as long as the match is still going on.

Chelsea played pretty well in the first half, they have managed to steal an important goal in the 14th minute. Seeing the progress of the match in the first half, I don't dare say Real madrid can win this fight, because Chelsea also has a mission to win this match. But within 45 minutes of the second half, any possibility can happen. If there are no more goal, Chelsea benefited greatly from away goals has got in the first half.

Watching live Real Chelsea and Christian Pulisic just scored a goal for the londoners. Real looks a bit dazzled and confused already since the beginning, after Chelsea's goal it looks even worse.
If Chelsea will take this win home I will admit Tuchel's some sort of sorcerer!
Chelsea is much better so far and they are in total control of the game but it will not be enough in the end. Just as I was writing this Real scored one back. Great reaction from Benzema. That is Real strength, they can get result even when playing like shit.If Chelsea will take this win home I will admit Tuchel's some sort of sorcerer!
Werner had a 100% chance while it was still 0:0, you have to score chances like that in CL semi finals, otherwise you get punished.
Chelsea have had the better chances of the 45 minutes, but they're failing to convert those opportunities which might eventually hunt them, Benzema as usual being Real Madrid go to guy when they need some momentum.
Timo Werner looks really absent minded and he's not as sharp as a guy leading the line should be, he makes runs for passes to be directed his way but when they're he's almost like never wanted the pass.
Great game so far, not as boring as I would have expected.

And it’s an away goal too. Very crucuial to get one in at the first leg. Real should now win this or bye bye.
Wtf ever happened to Hazard? And how many Mendys are there playing in the top leagues these days? It’s kinda becoming the new Dembele. Lol.
Edit: WHAT A GOAL BY BENZEMA!!!
Edit: What position is Marcelo playing? Lol.
Rofl ok... From the looks of it Real doesn’t have a midfield screen like I thought or I would’ve liked to think. Chelsea could more likely get one away goal.
They could've gotten more within just the first 12 minutes, but they've got one on the score board already and it's been all Chelsea since the game started.
I hope going one goal behind changes the approach of the game by Real Madrid.
Real Madrid now have a lot of work to do and so far they aren't showing the hunger to win it ,of course they have comeback from worse scorelines but Chelsea seems to have come prepared for the party!
It's now all never Benzema and co

Ugh my stream sucks. It was buffering as I was typing. When it came back on it’s 0 - 1 Chelsea.

^ That midfield screen tho. Modric - Casemiro - Kroos. And this is Real Madrid! I know I said that Chelsea has the squad to win the CL but dunno.. Against Real in the semis? It’s a tough one. I’m now thinking Real can win the whole thing. Zidane is clever as a fox.
Edit: I fear for City. With the way PSG won vs Bayern by playing pragmatically, I think they could shock City. I know Pep almost never adapts and always plays his squads in only one way: Possession football. Poch has faced Pep before and won.

I’m hoping to see Real & PSG make the final, I’m not going to explain why but I’m sure you can guess
Let me guess: As a Liverpool fan you don't like ManCity and Chelsea much?
Regardless of your preference, I would even bet on an English final. Chelsea has been very stable since Tuchel became coach and has a good chance of advancing if they score goals. PSG was very lucky against Bayern, so they didn't convince me. ManCity convinced me more.
It seems obvious to me that Real’s level of games and results have been falling in the last few weeks, their main players are injured or tired and Chelsea have a chance to take advantage of Real’s problems and win.
On the other hand, PSG currently has two outstanding players in their team, Neymar and Mbappe, and with such players they can beat any team in the world.
I'm not sure if Manchester City will finally be able to make that desired step in the Champions League, as if there is always something missing for success, I don't know.
I bet on PSG and Chelsea.

Real madrid seems to be more concentrated on the champions league. Even if there is a chance to pass this tour, a very strong opponent such as psg or city will face him in the final. I'm doing 2.5 sub bets for this game. In the last game of la liga, they got 1 point against real madrid-real betis. As I said, the zidane team is completely preparing for the champions league and wants the cup.
I have a feeling like Real Madrid will win 2-1 or it will end 1-1. And I expect Real Madrid and Chelsea both to score for sure. If Real Madrid could make use of their advantage of playing home, I haven't any doubt that they will be victorious in the end. It could be a 1-goal or 2-goal difference victory.

True there have been both teams seei and inconsistency recently, winning impprtant matches but gifting points when they were tge favorites. It’s going to be a tight clash with few goals scored, haven’t seen more than a goal in Chelsea’s last four games, while Real Madrid drew 0:0 in three out of the previous four fixtures. so it's more likely to see to Under 2.5 goals , but I feel that Real Madrid will have enough strength to win this match.
Real Madrid's play depends entirely on the form of three players - Cross, Modric and Casemiro. If these guys play a great game, Real Madrid will make it to the final. Otherwise, the chances are very slim. Chelsea will most likely play counter-attacks and play carefully on the defensive. Real Madrid always has problems with such teams, so I would not be so sure of a victory for Real Madrid. It will be a rather difficult game for both teams. Moreover, Zidane has never won against Tuchel.
