Merengues can lose by up to one goal and still advance to the semifinals
In a little while, at 16:00 (Brasilia time), at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid welcomes Chelsea after winning 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. For the current champions, the vacancy only comes with a victory by three goals difference. English triumph by two goals takes the decision to extra time and penalties.
The Merengues are looking to reach the 10th semifinal of the last 12 years. Owner of 13 titles, Real Madrid was just not among the four best in the Champions League between 2011 and 2022 in 2019 and 2020. In the same period, Chelsea were semi-finalists three times.
For the match soon, the main absence in Carlos Ancelotti’s team is the defender Militão, suspended. Hazard remains out with an ankle problem. Thomas Tuchekl’s team also has important casualties: defender and full-back Azpilicueta and striker Lukaku do not play in Madrid.
