Unfortunately, Real Madrid will be travelling to Stamford Bridge without their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian had tested positive for Covid-19 just last week. His latest test results show that he is still positive and could miss the match against Chelsea. He will be taking another test tomorrow to see if he could still fly down out to London in time to meet up with his squad. We wish him a speedy recovery!
With that being said, is this advantage for Chelsea? The most notable change in Real Madrid's team from last season is their new manager. Carlo Ancelotti is the upgrade that the Madridistas have been waiting for all this time. Ancelotti's second spell in the Spanish capital comes with a task. And that is to win the Champions League again. There's no doubt the Italian will be set on replicating his 2013/14 success with the Madrista's but how effective will he be from home?
