Chelsea have a mammoth task on their hands as they make the trip to Madrid to try and overturn a 3-1 defeat in the Champions League quarter-finals. Real Madrid got the better of Thomas Tuchel ’s men at Stamford Bridge as Karim Benzema’s hat-trick was the key difference between the two.
It means that the German will be looking for his side to overturn the two-goal deficit at the Bernabeu to stop them from crashing out of the competition. Given the difficulty of the situation, the manager has given his team a slim chance of making it through.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: “Not the biggest chance given the first game's results and given the competition and the opponent and the stadium we play. We never manage our input and our effort and our belief by the chances we have for our result.
