JAKARTA Real Madrid will host Chelsea in the first leg of the European Champions League quarter-finals for the 2022/2023 season. Both teams are champions in the last two seasons of the European club's highest caste competition.
The clash between the two teams will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid, Spain, Thursday, April 13 in the morning WIB. Last season the two teams met in the same round and Los Blancos then advanced to the semifinals.
Madrid teamed up with Chelsea after guarding a 6-2 aggregate win over Liverpool in the round of 16. Meanwhile, the Blues tackled the lag in the first leg to repatriate Germany's Borussia Dortmund, 2-1.
Los Blancos, who are difficult to win in La Liga, will certainly aim for the European Champions League to add their title collection to 15 trophies. Last season they were not seeded, but then successfully became champions.
This season, Carlo Ancelotti's side also doesn't seem to be among the favorites to win. However, their great achievements as the collector of the most titles in this event remain to be taken into account.
Moreover, they have good statistics against the England team in the knockout stages of this competition. The Blues could be the fourth consecutive victim they ran aground.
Previously, a team from the Spanish capital eliminated Manchester City in the semifinals and Liverpool in the final last season. The last name was again their victim in the knockout stages of the first season.
In addition, Real Madrid have never failed to score at home since losing to CSKA Moscow 3-0 in December 2018. Their last five European matches in Bernabeu ended in wins.
On the other hand, the 2022/2023 season marks the third time in a row Chelsea have reached the Champions League quarter-finals. In that period, the Blues have never lost to defending champions since being eliminated by Porto in 2004/2005.
The details are that the London team won twice and drew four times. The longest unbeaten record against defending champions in European events.
Fans were treated to a very interesting quarter-final match between Real Madrid and Chelsea last year. At that time, the Blues failed to make it to the semifinals despite a 3-2 win at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid reached the semifinals after winning 5-3 on aggregate to end the West London club's efforts to defend the title.
Exactly 365 days after the victory in the Spanish capital, Lampard and his friends will embark on the same revenge mission. However, the trip to Madrid is unlikely to be easy.
Predictions of the line-up:
Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Modric, Camavinga, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr
Chelsea FC (4-3-3): Kepa; James, Fofana, Koulibaly, Chilwell; Kovacic, Fernandez, Kante; Sterling, Havertz, Felix
