But Real Madrid also surprised me in Laliga. because I didn't expect Real Madrid to lose to Villarreal. even Villareal was able to keep up with Real Madrid's game. and Villarreal also made it difficult for Real Madrid's defence. After I saw Real Madrid beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey I thought Real Madrid would be unbeatable in La Liga. but it turns out my guess was wrong.

But Chelsea did get worse against Wolves. Chelsea's game coordination got even worse. and this is a bad impression for Lampard who is back as Chelsea coach. even though he only has a contract until the end of the season but I hope he makes improvements for Chelsea. because after all I really respect Lampard who became a legend for Chelsea.

For the quarter-finals I still think Real Madrid will win both legs and qualify for the semi-finals.

Real Madrid failed to keep the momentum after successfully eliminating Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, The defeat to Villarreal at the Bernabeu was a big loss for Real Madrid, Madrid opportunity to compete with Barcelona in the hunt for the La Liga title has been closed. Real Madrid's performance is difficult to predict this season, especially when they play in La Liga. While in the Champions League they always look good and are able to maintain their performance, this time they will face Chelsea in the first leg.

Lampard was in a difficult situation after being appointed as Chelsea coach, after the defeat to Wolves Lampard had to face one of the favorite teams in the UCL. It is unlikely that Chelsea will be able to keep up with Real Madrid game, especially with their inconsistent condition. Lampard needs to develop the right strategy to reduce attacks from Real Madrid players, at least if they lose, they don't concede many goals against them.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea game is game of a wounded lions, both team during the weekend in their various leagues. Meeting on Tuesday for the champions league game is a fresh start for both team. Chelsea playing in the champions league next season depend on them winning the champions league title, if they fail to win the title then, they will not participate in the competition next year, they're 11 on the premier league table with just 8 games to end the league. While Real Madrid are 15 points behind Barcelona the league leader. Real Madrid focus in on the champions league title. So it will be a tough game, but Real Madrid is favourite to win this game.
