Chelsea and Real Madrid will face against each other in what will be the second leg of the 2022/2023 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
It will be the second and final match of this series which, as expected, has started quite favorably for Real Madrid, who are heavy favorites to advance to the semi-finals. They beat Chelsea 2-0 at home, a result that leaves them very quiet in the second leg, but it could be even better.
Chelsea were a clueless team in the first leg, but at least there was one positive: they didn’t lose by a wide margin. The way the game went, especially after Chilewell was sent off, it could have been worse. Therefore, they still have hope that they can turn the streak around.
