Madrid might qualify, and they have a better chance than anyone else in the quarter-finals. but we could have another surprise in the Champions League.
Nobody underestimates Chelsea and I never would have thought only Real Madrid would have a higher chance of making the semi-finals. Even though Chelsea don't have good performance in the Premier League, of course they are one of the teams that can be a threat. I don't want Ancelotti to underestimate Chelsea, Madrid have to do the same as they did when they beat Liverpool. The advantage of the first leg must be achieved, especially this is away match.

There is an interesting quote when Potter says something about Ancelotti: Potter in awe of Ancelotti's aura, looks like he knows what to do in the quarter-finals. Here he is.

Quote
"I do not know Ancelotti personally but I have faced him when he was at Everton," he said. "I know he is a gentleman. It goes without saying, the amount of respect I have for him and what he has achieved is amazing, the length of time between winning the Champions League, 20 years, that is amazing and incredible. I said we would try and win the Champions League but that is the same for the other seven clubs and you can always lose in the quarter-final as that is the nature of the Champions League."
