In the second semi-final match of the Champions League, the players of London "Chelsea" and Real Madrid will come face to face. Which of the opponents will get the victory in this confrontation?
Chelsea»
The first meeting in Madrid showed that Chelsea are perfectly ready for the matches against Real Madrid. 1:1 on the field of Madrid can certainly be regarded as a success. But I was surprised in that game not only by the result, but also by the way the "cream" controlled the game. This is clearly visible, even if you only look at the statistical indicators. The team was better in almost everything. This is one of the rare cases when Zidane failed to surprise an opponent, and Tuchel was ready for any surprises of the Frenchman. As a rule, the coach of Real Madrid almost perfectly conducts big games, but here everything clearly went wrong.
Real Madrid
Now the Madrid team needs to come up with something new. Obviously, with the plan that was last week, Real Madrid is unlikely to be able to achieve the desired result on the field of opponents. Interestingly, in this Champions League, Real Madrid lost only in one away match, and it happened back in December, when Zidane's team gave three points to Shakhtar Donetsk. In other cases, Madrid looked quite solid, including against Inter Milan (2: 0). At the weekend, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna and looked very good in that match, so the cream will go to London in a great mood.

Forecast
The teams ' chances of getting out are still equal. Chelsea have an away goal, but it's hardly an advantage. I believe that the opponents will again show effective football, but the parity on the scoreboard will remain.
