Real Madrid vs Chelsea Prediction

After both playing in the Champions League for much of this century, it is a huge surprise that they haven’t met before in the tournament. Zinedine Zidane’s team come alive for big games like this but they will be up against an extremely well drilled Chelsea side who have lost only twice under Thomas Tuchel. We are backing Real Madrid to take a lead into the second leg.
