NikkiCFC 8,358 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Top ref. CL final last season. He was ref in Chelsea : Atletico 2:0 and we got away with clear pen from Azpi. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I assume their back four will be: Mendy - Ramos - Militao - Nacho/Odriozola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,358 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Ramos did not play since March 16th. He may be fit, but fit to start? In what condition? Mendy is in better shape, last game mid April. Kova is also out. Edited May 3, 2021 by NikkiCFC 0007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I fully expect this to be the starting 11 with everyone fit. And I do think this team is good enough to get a clean sheet or score, if needed. Mendy Christensen - Silva - Rüdiger Azpi - Kante - Jorginho - Chilwell Mount - Pulisic Havertz MoroccanBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermonkey 38 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I kinda like Werner in the team just to keep the Madrid line from pushing too high. We are going into the match with an advantage. If Madrid don't score they are out and we have played really well defensively lately. The best thing we can do is to cause gaps between their lines, Werner's pace keeps the cbs back with gives their midfield a dilemma. Push up and support the attackers press? If we can beat their first line and get the ball into pulisic/mounts feet they will repeatedly dribble pass Modric and Kroos as they did in the first leg. That's because the cbs left substantial space behind the midfield. If the midfielders instead choose to sit deeper then Madrid's press will be ineffective as they'll be outnumbered. We will be able to keep the ball relatively comfortably- which is good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to jinx at all, AT ALL, but it reminds me of Hazard and Eto'o being pushed back from their injuries to face Atletico in the 2nd leg of the semis back in 2014, but how bad and not up to it they were...

milka 3,394 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Real Madrid confirm an adductor injury to Raphael Varane which is set to rule him out of Wednesday’s #UCL semifinal. Sergio Ramos could return from injury to face Chelsea but has only played 125 minutes for Real Madrid since the middle of January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 That's Carvajal and Varane out. Mendy, Valverde, and Ramos with fitness concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Given Real Madrids form and injury concerns I have a really good feeling about Wednesday. I know its Real Madrid, but this time there is no Ronaldo to bail them out. Apart from the lucky Benzema goal they didn´t get a sniff at our goal in the first leg. We also rested some of our key players on Saturday, while they only rested Kroos and Modric. If our defence stays stable we will progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,822 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This is a big game for both clubs. I expect every RM player to lay out everything for this game. I expect the same from our squad. This is why this sport is so great, at this level both teams can raise up. I hope we destroy them, but I expect a battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Could it be Werner's problem is that he has short legs ? Do you remember other shorties in English football ? I vaguely remember Francis Lee in the seventies who was a Manchester City player. Archie Gemmil also but he played in a different position. Any others ? Abraham as you may have noticed has the opposite problem. His centre of gravity is a bit high and he cannot control well as a result.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hope Tuchel is wary about Real Madrid's corner kick strategy. Felt it was the only way they hurt us last week and they did it again against Osasuna and could of had a hattrick of goals just off of corners.

King Kante 1,643 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 On 02/05/2021 at 15:30, milka said: No chance 0:0 Real for sure will score the question is how many goals will score Chelsea I expect 2:1 to us with many nerves . this match will be of the order of this one First time I have watched the highlights to this as I was at the game. Absolute worst experience as a Chelsea fan, absolutely robbed. Only reason I give the benefit of the doubt to the ref being incompetent rather than corrupt is the Abidal sending off as Ankela clipped himself. When watching this, I also get sad about the player we lost in Essien due to his knee injuries. He should really having been still playing for us until 2017 if it wasn't for those ACL's. 18 hours ago, milka said: Yeah this match vs Real have same vibe like this from 2009 vs Barce...... Ovrebo . Yeah, I have the exact same feeling. 6 hours ago, Blues Forever said: Where is this cnut from? As for my team prediction, here it is: Mendy AC Silva Rudi Dave Jorgi Kante Chilwell Mount Puli Harvetz There is a chance James comes in for AC but I see TT being conservative as we win by keeping a clean sheet. I see Kova coming on rather than starting for the same reason. hiterto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 0-0 is a possibility. Remember Chelsea - Sevilla 0-0, Pool - Real 0-0. But we can't go for the 0-0. It's a suicide idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
