His condition will increasingly make Madrid the favorite for now, especially if you look at it from the point of view of the conditions where Madrid's performance in the domestic league seems to be finding their performance again.
Chelsea can still compete, it's just very difficult of course for them.
In a week the first leg will start at the Bernabeu and of course Madrid will be even more favorite and will benefit because apart from their good performance, they will also be under the watch of thousands of fans who will fill the stands so this will be even more difficult for Chelsea if they are hit by a trigger from the start .
Real Madrid seems like a clear favorite in this match right? Right now even Napoli don't look as confident after losing to Milan in Serie A as Real Madrid who scored 4 goals against Barcelona at the Camp Nou yesterday. I expected Real Madrid to show a good game, but I didn't expect it to be such a confident game. Now with Chelsea they seem to be the clear favourites, but I don't really like it when almost everyone is sure that Real will win, it is in such matches that we are in for surprises
