Real Madrid hosts Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 27th at Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium (Madrid)
Real Madrid got under the blow due to the Super League story. The players have nothing to do with it, but the tension is clearly felt. The club tied twice in the last three matches of LaLiga. The games against Betis and Getafe ended in goalless draws. Even in this situation, the Whites are second in the championship, lagging behind the leader by two points, Barcelona, which has a game in hand, is lagging behind in additional indicators. Real Madrid is the main specialist in the Champions League and deservedly made it to the semifinals after beating Atalanta and Liverpool. Four players will not play in the upcoming match, including Ramos, but the Whites have learned to do without him. But if Kroos does not play, it will be more tangible.

Chelsea wages a serious struggle for the top four in the Premier League standings. Now the club occupies the desired fourth place. In the last round, the Pensioners managed to beat the direct competitor West Ham (0-1). The gap from the fifth line is only three points, so the team will not be able to relax until the last round. Chelsea also reached the FA Cup final, where it will face Leicester. In the Champions League quarterfinals, the Londoners did not look better than Porto but managed to knock out the Portuguese club. Thomas Tuchel cannot rely only on Kovacic in the upcoming match.
The clubs have a small history of head-to-head confrontations. The first match took place in the final of the Cup Winners' Cup. Then Chelsea won the rematch with a score of 2-1. Beyond that, the teams crossed paths in 1998 in the battle for the UEFA Super Cup, and then the Londoners celebrated the victory either (1-0). The opponents played some other matches, but they were not official. The upcoming game will be completely unpredictable, and the factor of the home arena is practically irrelevant. Experience should come to the fore, and an obvious advantage is on the side of Real Madrid, as Londoners can simply die down mentally. The Whites know how to find motivation for decisive matches, so we consider it logical to bet on the home team's victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with 0.0 handicap
