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.
Self -the quality and experience of the players even to the coach, Real Madrid excels everything from Chelsea. For this season the condition of the Blues is very messy even if we watch their game is really very boring. But I also believe that in the world of football there are many things that are beyond predictions. But for the quarterfinal match, I still champion the defending champion (Real Madrid).
In addition, the Champions League is Madrid's top priority after their chances of La Liga are running low. Madrid coach, Ancelotti certainly will not waste opportunities, because his fate is also at the end of the horn. If it fails to offer a trophy, it is likely that it will be removed.
The odds between Real Madrid and Chelsea aren't that far apart and I think that is correct. I believe that Real Madrid is a slight favorite, but it's not like it's already over. In this competition, Chelsea can win a lot this season. Ancelotti is also under pressure after losing the La Liga title now against Barcelona. It's a game between two strong teams that underperformed too often during the season. Amazing games like the one against Liverpool for Real Madrid, but then also games where you can't believe it is the same Real Madrid.
The worst about Chelsea is their offense. Nobody would believe that they average about one goal per game in the Premier League with those offensive players. Real Madrid isn't as strong as they have been in the past either, but by far not as bad. That could be the difference in the end.
