When we are talking about champions league, Chelsea of now under Graham Potter is not can not win real madrid. I'm still wondering how will manage to win real madrid when their performance is not tough . Real Madrid will always win Chelsea as far as this season is concerned.
It's really hard, Liverpool is better than Chelsea but Real Madrid have beat Liverpool in both legs. So I'm expecting Real Madrid will win with big margins in the first leg since it will played on Real Madrid's home. Chelsea doesn't need to win, they only need to make a draw at their best. Because if they get beaten with big margins, it will affect every players' psychology and think it's impossible to beat Real Madrid.
In fact, it is not impossible to beat Real Madrid. They played matches in La Liga where we can see that. The main problem is Chelsea's mental preparation for this game. If they are mentally prepared for this game and if they have a lucky day, why not beat Real Madrid? I know this possibility is very difficult but not impossible.
I watched Chelsea's performance against Aston Villa yesterday. I wouldn't say that Chelsea's overall performance was bad. But they lost 2-0. Chelsea made a total of 27 shots in this match. And 8 were on target. But still, they could not score a single goal. They attacked a lot, but the attacks were not strong. Chelsea's match strategy has changed. But without experienced players in attack, it is very difficult to win the match. Real Madrid is a very experienced team. And Madrid's defence is very strong. If Chelsea performs like this, I don't see any chance of them winning against Madrid. My guess is that Chelsea will lose both matches. But maybe Chelsea will be defeated by 2-1 or 1-0.
