Chelsea might be having a poor run in the premier league but they have a good record in the champions league. Real Madrid has not been at their best season but they are a far better team than Chelsea. The match against Borussia Dortmund should be warming to Real Madrid because most gamblers never expected Chelsea to qualify for the quarterfinals after their first-leg loss in Germany. Graham Potter's job is still hanging in the balance and a win might help him secure his job. But if he losses the game, it means that he is not needed because he has made no positive impact on the team. I will not be surprised if any team wins the game.
One between Real Madrid and Chelsea had to lose in the quarter-finals. We all know Real Madrid are the favourites, but there's no reason that can really guarantee they can win the game and qualify for the semi-finals. Chelsea have to know what they have to do to qualify, of course play well and prevent conceding.I think Chelsea as a team have been good, they have a good line-up of players and have good individual skills. They can be expected to play well, but in the end the coach's strategy will play an important role in his case. On the other hand, Ancelotti is an experienced coach in the Champions League, he definitely excels in probability.
If it goes against the odds we could get the situation where Tuchel with Bayern Munich has to play against his old club Chelsea. I don't really believe that is going to happen, but it's of course not impossible. I think that in both games Manchester City and Real Madrid have a little edge over Bayern and Chelsea. But whatever happens, we are going to see some great semi final games no matter who of the four qualifies for it.
Actually, now that the trainer situation changed this way for Bayern, I would like that match between Bayern and Chelsea a lot!
There is always some extra drama and fire involved when this type of encounter happens. A coach that got fired gets to play against his old club in a semi final.
