Strike

Kudos to TT. Sufficiently strong team with a bit of rotation. Controlled the game till we went 1-0 up. Would have been 2 or 3 but for some near misses.

2-0

This is why we have a squad of players and we have a pretty loaded squad

Chelsea has had one of the better injury records among all PL teams this year

I think Havertz in the striker role might continue next season if we don't get anyone in. Havertz, Werner and Tammy/Giroud.

I'm in favour of going with Gilmour here. With Kovacic injured and the need to manage the minutes of Kante-Jorginho-Mount. The top 4 race, CL semis are more important than this game

He was in training before the Liverpool game. Hope he is involved because all the pre-match attention will be on him. Funnily, no one has mentioned Courtois since the draw was made - it's all been about Eden

Flatmate is a Madrid fan. Hope we do a job on them or I won't hear the end of it

Chelsea Madrid looks like

Anyone would in a team sitting so deep and launching balls at the striker

I am not extremely worried if it comes to Real - I think we are in with a decent shout in that tie. Kroos and Modric will probably control the midfield so it will have to be a counter attacking job

Dont know what you were watching cos Ziyech came on in the 86th

First loss in the Champions League this season but don't care - huge for the club to be back in the semifinals again!

This is over on my feed. Semifinals for the first time since 2014

Just one more minute to kill thankfully

Pulisic should have finished that

Pulisic fouled all night

This is relatively comfortable so far

Mount drops deep if needed

I agree with your lineup (switching Havertz and Werner) - I was replying to the other lineup posted by Magic Lamps

There is but not at the cost of rotating a line up for a crunch CL quarter final.

I think its the end of the road with Tammy. He stuck around last summer. He will be moving on now

Think making so many changes for a crucial Champions League QF second leg is out of the question

Fuck me. At least twice every weekend I want to go back to life before VAR

Even in Lampard's dreadful run, we managed to do okay vs West Ham
