In the first leg, Real Madrid defeated Chelsea with a score of 2-0 at the Bernabeu. Despite taking a 2-goal lead, coach Carlo Ancelotti’s army is expected to face many difficulties in the return leg at Stamford Bridge.

Fortunately, coach Carlo Ancelotti’s army woke up to score a goal to shorten the score to 1-3 in the 80th minute before bringing the victory thanks to Benzema’s goal in extra time (106 minutes).

We don’t think it’s easy. That is the opposite of what we think. I know this contest well. I know what can happen in football.”
Agreeing with coach Ancelotti, defender Eder Militao thinks he and his teammates will need to be in the best shape to ensure they are not eliminated by Chelsea after having won a 2-goal advantage in the first leg.
“Of course they had some good chances. But goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made excellent saves. Chelsea have great players.
But we know we can’t lose tomorrow. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins so we have to play with the same attitude as the first leg. Don’t think too much about it,” Militao insists.
