I see a tight game which might go to penalties

JomasisTech:


The same thing you guys keep saying every season

Agbegbaorogboye:


No. RM will take this one

MajohBankz:


And you are sure that Chelsea won't score Madrid? What has changed in Madrid? What do you mean by Ancelotti knows Chelsea well? Chelsea has conceded the least goals in UCL since last season and are the defending champions. Don't be biased because I can equally tell you that Chelsea knows how to beat Madrid because they beat them just last season

jcross19:
Chelsea is even playing better this season, composed with fluidity which make opposition suffers..... Like I have said Madrid don't have the team to play Chelsea now!!!.

omochelsea004:
guy... do you even know how to analyze game at all? Do you know what they call formation when it comes to the game of soccer?

No 1. Chelsea & Madrid don't play thesame style of football, so comparing both teams only on wings is not acceptable


Madrid normally play a 4 3 3 formation which allow them flow on the wings (that is where vini excel ) while chelsea on the other hand play a 3 4 3 formation which allow their wing backs flow (where James & Chiwel flourish before injury), so how can a better football analyst compare the two, the point is; chelsea don't play on the wings like madrid & on a normal day, Vini can't outshine James when playing each other, the only exceptional player I see in madrid presently is Benzema...

Lest I forget, saying Militao is better than T.Silva in their current form shows your sentiment

Athemisia:

Mentally fickle? Stop giving excuses for failure. They ain't good enough.

Athemisia:

How many games have Sergio Ramos played?
Remember this same Ramos were among the Madrid team chelsea defeated last season.

Messi? How many goals has he scored this season?
Neymar? How many goals have he scored?
Verrati? Really, that weak link in their defense?
Guy e clear say you no dey watch match.

noble2faith:


Lol. You're sounding as if you had seen Madrid beating Chelsea in vision.

noble2faith:


You are rating this PSG team based on the number of stars the team has. There is no coherence in the team. Add Ronaldo to PSG and if there is no coherence, the team will still flop.

noble2faith:


Another flaw from you. Chelsea has switched back to using false 9 which make Chelsea's attack very unpredictable.

noble2faith:


We have someone that will pocket him provided he is not injured.

Athemisia:

Where was Muller against Hoffenheim and Bayern Leverkusen??

garfield1:



Yes I want that too but it will be tough.only two teams have beaten Chelsea in open play this season

Agbegbaorogboye:


No sir. My confidence is in the way the two teams have been performing this season. This Chelsea boys are living on false hype.

It will be revealed soon. Same Chelsea that have only 59 points while Madrid has 66

fourboys:
it will surely end like our last meeting..

Agbegbaorogboye:


Who is he? James? Lol. I really pray he isn't injured so this is not an excuse

Agbegbaorogboye:


They are using false 9 because Lukaku is not performing not because they want to be unpredictable

Don't mix things up

If they had a Benzema, they won't even think of a false 9

Even Guardiola, whose team is scoring freely still wants a striker

dumininu01:

Nagelsmann is being carried by some top players, but Bayern are ridiculously fragile and insecure. Might even play Villarreal in the semi

BabaIbo:


It is not a new thing bro.

I'm talking about this season.

It will be difficult but the UCL is more about experience and confidence not necessarily fitness at that stage of the season. Madrid will have both going into the tie given that they currently top the league and qualified via a dying minute resurgence. Whichever way you look at it, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat against a team containing the likes of Neymar and Messi is a morale booster for any team, speak less of Real Madrid. Coupled with Chelsea's off-field issues and how their title hopes has fizzled out, I see RM having the psychological edge going into that match.

As for Atleti, everyone knows they enjoy being the underdogs as it enables them to play rough and dirty with no baggage. Coupled with how the English press will expect Man City to go all out and beat Atleti 7-0 or 10-0, and also counting the fact that the Atleti team are more battle tested and mentally tougher than the whimpering and entitled kids of City, I see Atleti taking this one too.

Exactly, Pep wouldn't have used a false 9 if be had a Harry Kane

Where's your alter ego anyway

noble2faith:


A lot of flaws in your analyses. Are you aware both teams are not playing in different leagues? Are you aware the reasons for Chelsea's little declination is owing to the absence of our two wingbacks (Chilwell and James)?

noble2faith:


Wh is he? You asked as if he is not a good player.
I have a question and I want you to be sincere in answering the question.

Between Vinicius and Sterling, who is deadlier?

tesppidd:
People like you made it get banned.

Reference:
The curious match up has to be Chelsea v Real Madrid.
Very, very difficult to call.
I think the key here will be the fitness of their leading men match day.

However discounting all that, on paper I think Real Madrid has the edge for the simple fact that they had a far tougher opponent in the round of 16 which will have honed their pysche. And with the experience of Carlo, the wily old fox, I think the deafening mistakes in that tie will not be repeated.

noble2faith:


We are both saying the same thing. Lukaku's style of play has been known by defenders, most especially in premiership, thus making our attack to be very much predictable. Lukaku is not that kind of striker that helps in the attack buildup. He so much relies on his strength. Defenders are not falling for that anymore.
The same Lukaku can perform better in another league.
