Chelsea vs Real Madrid: Live stream, official lineup, link to watch & more..
Chelsea were comfortable winners when these two sides met in last year’s semis. Can Madrid get payback or Chelsea to beat them again?
Chelsea face Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
There are four changes made by Thomas Tuchel as he looks to catch Madrid out with some interesting changes. We beat them last year with almost this exact team,
To us it looks like Chelsea are in a 343 again, with Rudiger, Silva, Christensen back 3, with Reece James at right wing back and Azpi at left wing back (although they could be the other way round).
In midfield it’s Jorginho alongside Kante providing a strong and composed presence in the middle of the park.
The front 3 has Havertz leading the line, flanked by Mount and Pulisic.
Chelsea: Mendy; Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Jorginho, Azpilicueta (c); Mount, Havertz, Pulisic.
Subs: Bettinelli, Kepa, Alonso, Kenedy, Chalobah, Sarr, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Saul, Ziyech, Lukaku, Werner.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy, Kroos, Casemiro, Modric, Valverde, Benzema (c), Vinicius Junior.
Subs: Lunin, Toni Fuidias, Lucas Vazquez, Vallejo, Nacho, Marcelo, Ceballos, Mariano, Camavinga, Rodrygo, Bale, Asensio.
The referee is Clement Turpin from France.
That’s about as strong a team as we have available right now. Let’s hope the 4 changes provide a strong performance than the one we got against Brentford at the weekend.
