Chelsea vs Real Madrid will see these two European giants meet in the quarter-final of club football’s biggest competition. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti used to manage Chelsea when his opposite number Frank Lampard was a player, will the student best his former teacher?
Real Madrid will be keen to assert their home advantage in this first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, and there are a plethora of reasons for them to be confident. The most successful side in the history of the European Cup made light work of Premier League opposition Liverpool in the round of 16 and against a struggling Chelsea side, their fans will be expecting the same. In Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, Madrid boasts some of the most decorated players in world football and with young stars like Vinicius Jr, Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo shining as well, this team is among the favorites to lift the trophy again. Left-back Ferland Mendy is Real’s only injury concern but this is a squad capable of performing in anyone’s absence, especially at the Bernabeu.
Chelsea icon Frank Lampard has only been back in the manager’s seat for one match, a 1-0 defeat to Wolves, but is now diving into one of football’s most difficult fixtures. Amidst a difficult domestic season, the Champions League has been a respite for Chelsea this season and a 2-0 win at home against Dortmund showed they are worthy of a place at this stage of the competition. Away from home in the first leg, Chelsea will be desperate to bring back something to play for at Stamford Bridge. The London team’s biggest problem this season has been an inability to score goals and Lampard will be desperate for forwards Kai Havertz and João Félix, who is on loan from Madrid’s rivals Atletico, to put them in a good position for the second leg.
The Real Madrid vs Chelsea live stream is a clash of the last two winners of the competition, who will both have their sights on lifting the famous old trophy once again. Make sure you catch it live.
