First leg of quarter finals between Chelsea and Real Madrid. They faced each other in 2020-2021 too, but with the difference that it was in semi finals.

There are many unknowns for Chelsea after the lost 1-4 against Brentford. In Premier League they didn't yet consolidated their place since both Tottenham and Arsenal are 5 points away for a place in Champions League.

Despite this lost came after many positive results it seems clear now that Chelsea is suffering from their corporate problems. Coach Tuchel will make some changes. Last reports says that Lukaku and Werner will start from the bench while in attack from 1st minute we should see Havertz, with Kovacic and Pulisic.

The only change in defense will be Chalobah instead of Thiago Silva.

Real Madrid in other hand with coach Ancelotti has been back its natural dimension and the crazy comebackagainst the PSG of Messi and Mbappé is a clear sign to the other big names in Europe.

In Premier Liga after the win against Celta Vigo probably consolidated the 1st place with 12 points of difference from Barcelona.

Coach Ancelotti who is still positive from coronavirus, will put the best lineups possible.It's expected that the experience of Kroos-Casemiro-Modric in midfield will make the difference.Out are Isco and Hazard.

The odds are very good on Real Madrid to get a positive result. At the moment both teams are balanced but since Chelsea have some internal problems, I see the Spanish team to have big chances in this 1st leg.

Probable lineups:

CHELSEA (3-4-3): Mendy; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Rüdiger; James, Kanté, Jorginho, Alonso; Kovačic, Havertz, Pulišić.

REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militão, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modrić; Valverde, Benzema, Vinícius Jr.

GL!

切尔西和皇家马德里四分之一决赛第一回合比赛。他们也在2020-2021年对决，但不同的是，那是在半决赛。

在1-4输给布伦特福德之后，切尔西还有很多未知数。在英超联赛中，他们还没有巩固自己的位置，因为托特纳姆和阿森纳都差5分才能进入冠军联赛。

尽管这次失利是在取得了很多积极的成绩之后，但很明显切尔西现在正遭受着公司问题的困扰。塔切尔教练会做出一些改变。最近的报道说，卢卡库和维尔纳将从替补开始，而在进攻的第一分钟，我们应该会看到哈弗茨，科瓦奇和普利西奇。

防守上唯一的变化将是Chalobah代替Thiago Silva。

另一方面，在主教练安切洛蒂的带领下，皇家马德里已经回归了它的自然规模，梅西和Mbappé在对阵巴黎圣日尔曼的比赛中疯狂的回归是对欧洲其他大牌球员的一个明确信号。

在西甲战胜塞尔塔后，维戈可能以12分的差距巩固了联赛第一的位置。

主教练安切洛蒂因冠状病毒感染仍处于积极状态，他将尽可能安排最好的阵容。克洛斯-卡西米罗-莫德里奇在中场的经验将会带来不同。没有Isco和Hazard。

皇马很有可能取得一个积极的结果。目前两支球队都很平衡，但由于切尔西内部存在一些问题，我认为西班牙在第一回合会有很大的机会。
