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.

This is still unpredictable. Now, Benzema is still experiencing calf injury. But I think that he will be okay when doing a match against Chelsea. That is why He will not be in the lineup of El Classico this week, also to prepare for a bigger match in UCL
I personally like Real Madrid more than Chelsea and I will support Real Madrid. But, I also admit that Chelsea is not an easy opponent to defeat. There needs high and compact performance by all lines up of Madrid. I think this match will be very interesting.

All players do contribute according to their respective portions it's just that no matter how good the defenders and midfielders are without scoring goals they will never be highlighted.

I agree, that is why this is a team, not an individual match. Although a very professional and excellent player will not be able to play very well if he doesn't get any support and also compactness from other lineups. They must play as a team optimally, maximizing all lineups optimally to score goals and to defense in order to not got any goals from the opponents

Real Madrid has won the Champions League the most of all in recent years. They didn't have that many other players except for Ronaldo, did they? Admittedly, Ronaldo was unique, but Modric was already there then. Real is a team that can also win the Champions League this season. If you can beat PSG, then you must be able to beat Chelsea and then you must have a good day against a team like Bayern. We will probably see a lot of spectacle in the semi-finals. Chelsea are good, but not so good that they will win the Champions League again. Far too erratic.

Ronaldo was pivotal to Real Madrid success in those champions league they won. I strongly doubt they could have won them without his input and this is proved right when he left the club. There are some few players in the world that when they leave a team, the team hardly replicate the successes they got with them.

Look at both sides. How many UEFA champions league has Barcelona won since Neymar left them? None! Even when they seemingly have the man who's arguably the greatest of all team in the team; there's nothing Messi could do. Messi did promised that they would win one champion's league but he couldn't do it without Neymar. Neymar was vital to their success and without him they can hardly be successful, this also goes for Ronaldo.
