Chelsea-Real. Champions League quarter-final second leg where Chelsea host Real Madrid after losing 2-0 in the first leg. Discover all the information on this return confrontation.
Can Chelsea overthrow Real Madrid? After losing 2-0 in the first leg in the Spanish capital, the Blues receive Madrid at home in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. For this return confrontation, Frank Lampard will have to do without Kalidou Koulibaly (injury) but also without Ben Chilwell (suspended in the first leg). If the Londoners are in an uncomfortable situation, the Chelsea coach believes in the feat despite the history that links Real Madrid with the C1: “I don’t know the exact history of Real Madrid but from the outside, they have a great coach who I understand very well and who I think should take credit I studied both games last year I don’t always do that but I think it was important because there are a lot of similarities. We also have another reference with the game last week. We had opportunities and at the same time there are a lot of things that we could have done better. That’s for That’s what we’re working on and I hope we’ll see the fruits of our labor tomorrow. I know the players have the ability to do that.”
On the Madrid side, Carlo Ancelotti should renew the same eleven as the first leg despite the yellow cards of Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao who find themselves under the threat of suspension for a possible semi-final first leg of the Champions League. Despite the two-goal lead before the kick-off of the second leg, the Italian technician returned to Chelsea’s current form at a press conference and seems wary of the Blues: “At this club, we are very clear about what we have to do is not always win, but fight to the end with all the energy we have, maybe we will have the chance to play another semi-final and another final, but we have to go step by step. If we reach the semi-finals, it means we have done well. Chelsea are going through a difficult period, but I think they have a great opportunity. We will have to give our best tomorrow. We gave our best in the last game. We are preparing a good game for tomorrow, we are trying to reach the semi-finals and then we will see.”
