Is it feasible for Chelsea to do the nearly impossible? Given that Real Madrid only leads by two goals going into Tuesday’s second leg at Stamford Bridge, that might be overstating the case.
It would be an amazing feat, though, given the prominence of their elite opponent and Chelsea’s miserable season and descent into obscurity.
The Blues suffered yet another heartbreaking loss over the weekend as Brighton utterly destroyed the home team.
After Frank Lampard was appointed caretaker manager for the remainder of the season, the Blues have lost all three of their games.
The Blues, who smashed the British transfer record less than three months ago and have spent more than £600 million on players this season, are currently attempting to salvage their season as they are firmly rooted in the middle of the table and have little chance of competing for a berth in Europe.
Lampard’s team, who are currently 11th in the division, have gone six games without a victory and have only scored three goals, two of which came against relegation-threatened Everton.
Real Madrid, a Champions League powerhouse, is confidently in position to go to the semifinals for the 11th time in the past 13 seasons. With nine games remaining, Barcelona leads the Spanish top division by 11 points and has a better goal differential.
The defense of their European championship will be a primary concern for Carlo Ancelotti’s team as the La Liga title appears out of reach. Due to the amount of Champions League experience in their ranks, Los Blancos recorded an easy 2-0 away victory over Cadiz over the weekend and will be hot favorites to defend a two-goal advantage today. They may even be able to expand on it.
