yeah right. at least hope is still wide open for both teams. But I personally can not predict which one will qualify for the semi-finals. but if we think realistically then for the first leg maybe Real Madrid will be the favourite. because they are the hosts. and maybe Real Madrid will win. but for the second leg I think maybe Chelsea will avenge their defeat in the first leg and win in the second leg when they are playing at home.
Graham potter does not have enough experience for the Champions League. but I think all coaches also start from zero experience. so we really can't underestimate a Graham potter just because he has no experience in the Champions League.
I feel very pessimistic about Chelsea. Currently, Potter's team is not very competitive, especially when the opponent they face is defending champion Real Madrid. These two teams have met and beaten each other in the Champions League. But for this time I am a candidate for Madrid to qualify for the semifinals.
Real Madrid has players and coaches who are very experienced, in contrast to The Blues which is only inhabited by a few experienced players, the rest rely on young players, while their coach, Potter also has absolutely no history in Europe. Because of that, Chelsea will be very nervous to face Real Madrid.
I understand why many people are pessimistic about Chelsea's performance in the match against Real Madrid. because the comparison of strength and consistency throughout this season is also strong evidence that Real Madrid is far superior.
but I personally still have hope for Chelsea even if it's small. although now Chelsea is playing more young players. but I saw class from these young Chelsea players. especially Joao Felix. I think this one player has very good potential for the future. but yeah, right now the mentality of young players really can't be expected too high. different from Real Madrid who have players and coaches who have a much longer level of experience.
