Chelsea hosts Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 5th at Stamford Bridge (London)
Few people believed that Chelsea would reach such a late stage in the Champions League. Moreover, the Pensioners have every chance of making it to the final. The Blues looked better in the first match, but they still didn’t deserve to win. After the trip to Madrid, Thomas Tuchel's charges defeated Fulham in the Premier League with a score of 2-0 due to Havertz's double. Chelsea remains fourth in the championship standings, outranking the nearest pursuer by three points. The team has a difficult calendar, because after the return match against Real Madrid, the Blues will have to play against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Real Madrid did not impress with a phenomenal game this season. But the Whites managed to reach the semifinals, and perhaps even this is not the limit for the team. At the same time, Galacticos are fighting for the champion’s title in LaLiga, where they share the second place with Barcelona, and the gap to the first Atlético is only two points. Real Madrid may well jump to the top, as its two main competitors will play against each other in the next round. In the last round of the championship, the Whites coped with the resistance of Osasuna (2-0).
Chelsea started the match in Madrid better, at first Timo Werner delivered a point-blanker from an advantageous position but managed to hit Courtois. In the 14th minute, the Pensioners managed to take the lead through the efforts of Pulisic. Only the conceded goal awakened the Madrid team. Benzema hit the post but then managed to score in the 22nd minute after a streak of flick-backs in the penalty area. The second half turned out to be equal and ended without goals, so the fans saw a 1-1 draw. The game took place in the pouring rain, which prevented the opponents from showing their maximum potential. AS for the upcoming match, it is difficult to give the advantage to anyone. According to bookmakers, Chelsea is a small favorite, and it will be enough for the Blues not to concede so as to advance to the final. The Whites can play better than on their native field, as they have vast European Cup experience. But we consider it appropriate to bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
