Real Madrid take on the visitors Chelsea in the second leg of UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 12th at Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
The Italian manager is squeezing almost the maximum out of the available lineup. The only exception was the cup, where they lost to Athletic. There was an upset in the LaLiga, which is the defeat in the home "El Clasico" from "Barcelona". But at the same time, the team from the capitol has already created such a handicap that the fate of the title in this arena is already obvious. It remains to reinforce the success of the internal triumph of the external. And it is, of course, the Champions League. It was very difficult there in the 1/8 finals, where, having lost in Paris, they conceded first at home. But there was also a 3-1 victory, and last week the same result was achieved again, but in London. And, of course, Benzema looks great. Karim scored a hat-trick in both fights. And the Frenchman's ability to put pressure on goalkeepers is simply incredible: he made both Donnarumma and Mendy make mistakes!

Chelsea were impressive on Saturday. It is clear that Southampton simply does not have motivation, and form has simply been lost. But all the same 4 goals scored by the break is too much. The London giants failed in the first matches of April. First there was a defeat from the modest Brentford in the Premier League. And then there was a beating by Real Madrid. Already in the middle of the 1st half, they conceded 2 more or less similar goals - from Benzema headers. It seems that Havertz, having distinguished himself in a similar style, gave a chance for a comeback. And Tuchel with might and main during the break changed both the composition and tactics. But everything was finally broken by Mendy's blunder, when Karim restored the status quo.
The history of confrontations is quite rich. The last duel took place less than a year ago, at the 1/2 final stage of the previous Champions League. Chelsea unexpectedly turned out to be stronger - they did not lose on the road and scored 2 unanswered goals in London. Real Madrid are not counting on Eden Hazard. Chelsea will arrive without Chillwell and Hudson-Odoi.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored.
