Both are actually fairly solid defensively so I don’t think it would be a walkover but no way are they fluking a 0-1 against Madrid or Man City. 

Agreed, the Milan teams know every trick in the book, experienced and would make a really competitive final against Man City. For the opposite reason, that is why I do not want to see a Man City v Brighton FA cup final, Brighton whilst a very good football team would not know how to handle a final, would get done 4-0

Fofana looked so, so out of his depth last night. Did not look like he belongs in a Champions League game at the Bernabeu. 

 

But speaking of out of their depth, Chilwell's red was thanks to Cucurella looking like a League One defender. He's decent on the ball and going forward, but all you seem to need to do against Cucurella is to run past him - with or without the ball. Why they splashed £65m on him is beyond me.  

Glad someone else saw the Cucurella weakness there. Chilwell did what he did as last man, but if Cucurella was more focused and not ball-watching, perhaps there's more cover for Chilwell instead of he having to run from LWB.

Kante has only played 5 games this season, and his last 4 have each been under a different manager!

 

Tuchel in August, then Potter, Salter (caretaker) and Lampard in April.

Don't think Chelsea are going to be a serious threat. I know they put down silly money and you think eventually enough will stick but they really do seem absolutely clueless with it.

Think this will take a lot of fixing. Far too many players currently, not going to be easy to shift lots, they are in for a difficult time.

Chelsea starting with 1 recognised attacker. 1.5 if you consider Gallagher as a goal threat. No strikers. All defence. Come on Real, rub Lampard's face into the dirt.

I don't want to disrespect ancelloti, but he looks like someone ordered Alan Pardew in a large.

That Chelsea lineup is amazing

Rui 🤦

MEREEEETTTTT 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Reckon Madrid score on the break and put this tie to bed.

[Guest Col city fan]

Chelsea have just got no one up front.

Havertz IS NOT a striker.

Kante is often the furthest forward!

If any team need a recognised striker, it’s Chelsea. Something they’ll surely rectify in the summer.

Chelsea spent over half a billion £ & I’m thinking where are they 🤷‍♂️ 

[UniFox21]

I just don't see how playing 3 defensive/box to box midfielders in tandem with Conor Gallagher is going to score you 3 goals 

[RowlattsFox]

2 big chances falling to not natural goal scorers. Will happen when you've barely got attackers on. 

[Ian W LCFC]

Been quite impressed with that 1st half from Chelsea. Miss anymore chances and you feel like Madrid will get one on the counter though

[21st Century Fox]

To think how much they spent on Lukaku.... twice!

They are just bizarre.

They’ve signed Enzo to win the ball back, Mudryk to supply the crosses and have no strikers to give it to. All the time spending huge amounts TWICE on Lukaku who is on loan yet again!

Talk about how to not run a football club.

And he's going to get further than them. 

[st albans fox]

Exactly how much do you need to spend on a player for them to be able to lift a set piece higher than 6 feet off the ground ?

What an outburst for an obvious ****ing dive

Oh Keown. 

Never change. 

[Guest Col city fan]

How on earth does Lampard put this team out tonight, genuinely thinking they’ll score enough goals?

🤷‍♂️
