‘I think’: Chris Sutton predicts who’ll win between Chelsea and Real Madrid
Chris Sutton, speaking on BT Sport about the Champions League match between London club Chelsea and Real the Spanish club Madrid
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel’s Blues will face Zinedine Zidane‘s Whites in the Champions League Semi-final.
Chelsea strolled past Porto on their path to this round, while Real Madrid knocked out Liverpool on their way to their present stop.
Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain is the other key match, and fans and rivals alike are in for a treat.
The duel between Real Madrid and Chelsea is very exciting.
Despite their European heritage, the clubs haven’t competed against each other since 1998, and never in the Champions League.
Both sides are in terrific shape heading into the encounter. In 18 games under the new London club manager Tuchel, Chelsea has only lost once. The Spanish giants Real Madrid has won their league 14 times in a row.
Many people wouldn’t be bold enough to forecast the end conclusion, but Sutton built up the nerve to do so.
‘It’s going to be a tough team for Chelsea to beat, but you wouldn’t put it past them under Tuchel,’ the ex-Chelsea striker added.
‘It’s hard to forecast. If you ask me, I believe Chelsea has a tiny advantage. One of my former clubs might possibly have a shot.’
Blues fans will recall happy memories of meeting Spanish opponents at this phase of the tournament.
Chelsea will be trying to emulate the memorable 2-2 draw against Barcelona at the Bernabeu in 2012, which they drew at the Bernabeu in 2012.
