After the win that Real had in the cup against Barcelona which no one expected them to totally destroy Barcelona at their home with a tennis result 0-4 and seeing Chelsea last results in the Premier League I think it is clear for everyone of us to see that Chelsea most likely stands absolutely no chance against Real Madrid in these upcoming Champions League encounter.

Even if they sign a great coach,he simply will not have time to change things and Chelsea owners should not be expecting miracles in the Champions League and also in the Premier League from Chelsea during this season.

Football doesn't work like that at all. Liverpool managed to beat United 7-0 just recently, then lost to Bournemouth, Real Madrid, and Manchester city with a tie against Chelsea. That doesn't mean that Real Madrid is bad and will lose, of course they can win and I am pretty sure that they will win.

I am not supporting Chelsea by saying they will win or anything like that. All I am trying to say is that just because Real Madrid managed to beat Barcelona, doesn't mean that they will also be able to beat Chelsea, that is not how football works. They will beat Chelsea because they are going to play better than them and that is going to be the key here and that is how they will get to next stage by playing better than the other team.

Each match is a unique event and anything can happen, while the odds are in favor of Real Madrid it is not as if Chelsea is a bad team, if they were Chelsea will not be at the quarterfinals of the most prestigious tournament for clubs around the world, it is just that taking into account the quality of their players they should play at an even higher level than what we are seeing right now, and with this in mind Real Madrid should be the favorite during their next match.
