Bookmakers are favoring Real Madrid to beat Chelsea and qualify to the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League which I think is understandable judging by the clubs performance this season.
Real Madrid has got great players who knows how to play in the competition as a matter of fact they have about four players that's won it in five occasions in their squad so it's fair to say that they are favorites to win the tie
Chelsea in the other hand has quality players that can as well beat any European team on their day but to win against Real Madrid, they'll have to perform at the top of their strength and energy in the two legged encounter
However I agree that Real Madrid are the favorites against Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Everyone knows that Real Madrid is one of the best in Champions League history, but I don't agree to belittle Chelsea completely. This is football where it is difficult to predict a definite result especially the score, but we can only analyze the chances of the team's performance before the two play each other.
well, we still can't underestimate Chelsea in this match. and actually there is still about 3 weeks before the first leg of the UCL quarter-final will be held for the Chelsea vs Real Madrid match. so Potter still has time to prepare the best strategy for Chelsea later to face Real Madrid in the first leg which actually seems to be held at home to Real Madrid.
but to be honest after seeing how Chelsea is this season. so I think whether it's in the first or second leg I still see Real Madrid will be favored. even Liverpool had to suffer a crushing defeat at home to Real Madrid, who were guests of the match. so what I can say is that Real Madrid always performs optimally be it home or away games. but yeah this is football where surprises happen more often. even in this month alone I have been surprised by many unexpected results. so it's not impossible that Chelsea will surprise us.
