Everyone is tipping Real Madrid to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But it would not be right to underestimate the Chelsea team. Because the Champions League platform is completely different. Chelsea reached the quarter-finals on their merits. So it is not right to underestimate any team.
Both teams are worse than their versions last year, they were better last year and Real won, now they are worse, but Chelsea is much worse whereas Real is just a bit worse, looking at the league games of course because if we were to look at just the UCL games then they are both still here which means there wouldn't be any difference at all.
The fact that they are going to try and do something about this situation and fix it, means they both first need to beat each other, both teams will want a better next season and key to that starts from having a good ending to this year and losing here won't help that. One of them will go back upset, you just have to accept that as a fact and shouldn't really focus on it at all.
