The Champions League semifinal big match will bring Chelsea vs Madrid at Stamford Bridge, Thursday (6/5/2021). The semi-final second leg match was a game of life and death for the two teams.
As is known, in the first leg which took place at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano on April 28, 2021, Real Madrid and Chelsea played 1-1 equally strong.
In that match, Chelsea took the lead through Christian Pulisic's goal in the 14th minute. Luckily for Madrid, in the 29th minute Karim Benzema managed to cancel the Blues' victory.
With a 1-1 aggregate, Chelsea have a better chance of qualifying for the final. Bagging one away goal, the Blues only need a goalless draw to advance to the top party.
Meanwhile for Real Madrid, a victory of at least 1-0 must be won in the second leg to qualify for the final.
However, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel certainly realized that Real Madrid would not be easily eliminated. It must be admitted, Madrid is the King of the Blue Continent's highest caste competition which has collected 13 Big Ear trophies.
Like in the first leg, Real Madrid still lost a number of key players in this match. In addition, they will not be strengthened by Raphael Varane who is injured.
However, Sergio Ramos, who has returned to training since last weekend, is expected to participate in this second leg.
Eden Hazard, who appeared unsatisfactory in the first leg, will also play against his former club. The Belgian player is expected to perform optimally and show his fangs on the front lines of Los Blancos by fulfilling Madridista's expectations.
