Real Madrid will undoubtedly be favorites against Chelsea. Not only is Real Madrid in good form, but their squad is also very experienced. At the same time, coach Ancelotti is very experienced. Ancelotti knows very well how to perform in a competitive league like the Champions League. He can spot the opponent's weaknesses, and tailor his match strategy accordingly. Since Madrid's chances of winning the La Liga title are almost non-existent, their only target now should be the Champions League title.
After losing hope of the La Liga title race to Barcelona, Real Madrid's focus will definitely be on the Champions League. We know they're very good in the Champions League and have a lot of experience in it. They have a fantastic coach and a fantastic team to help them win the game. Chelsea, their opponent, are currently in poor form. They recently changed coach, and we all thought he would improve the team, but after his first match with the team, he failed to secure a win.
Chelsea's performances have been erratic but this team is strong. And so Madrid must play carefully. Try to dominate from the beginning of the match. Chelsea's players will not get a chance to score in this match if Madrid starts to dominate. Even so, Chelsea's attacking performance is very poor.
This is the Champions League, and it may be different from the domestic league in which they are competing. They, like Real Madrid, have a good track record in this league too. With their Champions League record, we can't be so sure Real Madrid will easily defeat them. They were performing poorly in the league prior to advancing to this stage, but they still defeated a team that was performing well in their domestic league to do so. We can't afford to underestimate any of the team at this point.
