Chelsea, led by manager Frank Lampard, found themselves on the back foot from the start, and the red card for Chilwell only made matters worse. Although Chelsea had a few chances to get back into the game, Real Madrid’s solid defense kept them at bay.
Chelsea’s chances of progressing to the semi-finals look slim, as they will need to score at least two goals in the second leg to have any chance of staying in the competition. This is a tall order for a team that has struggled to score goals consistently this season. However, Lampard and his team will be hoping for a miracle at Stamford Bridge.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be full of confidence going into the second leg. The team has a two-goal lead and will be looking to finish the job at Stamford Bridge. With a wealth of experience in knockout competitions, Real Madrid will be tough to beat, and they will be looking to progress to the semi-finals, where they will face either Manchester City or Bayern Munich.
