Chelsea Faces Uphill Battle Against Real Madrid in Champions League Quarterfinal

Real Madrid faces Chelsea tonight for the Champions League quarter-final second leg, after their 2-0 win in the first leg last week. To recall, Madrid won the Champions League last season, while Chelsea was the title winner in 2021 after beating Manchester City (1-0).

Facing a Madrid team in better form, judging by its results this season, Chelsea, which is going through a bad patch and is on a losing streak, will try to turn the tide. A difficult mission nonetheless for Hakim Ziyech’s team, which will have to fend off the Madrid attack with Karim Benzema considered the scourge of English teams in Europe (20 goals in 26 matches played).
