[Football] Real Madrid v Chelsea CL QF

[A1X]

Modric is an absolute freak of a player. Plays like a 25 year old but he’s 37 FFS!

A total joy to watch.

If he played for a fashionable national team he’d be talked about as one of the greats, but Croatia have only got a bit good and a lot too late for him.

Cough cough.....

Why the hell would you as the owner say something like that in that way in this moment? Talk about not having a clue ffs

He did still win the Ballon D’Or to be fair.

He is definitely one of the greats.

Well done Todd, you’ve just created material for Ancelotti’s motivational speech before the return leg.

Just the 2 then. Not a bad result for Chelsea considering everything.

Rightly or wrongly, they'll feel they have a chance, albeit a small one, in the 2nd leg at home next Tuesday.

Nice distraction for Saturday 3pm.

Exactly, there were whiffs of competence, and I was hoping they'd score, or it would only be -1 or evens . . . . Cucurella looked keen, and quick, he was clearly targeted by RM players. . . . he may be an enemy now but he is capable. .

Chelsea go 4 games without a goal for the first time since 1993. We know what happens Saturday right …?

Absolutely. But he deserves to be talked about as one of the great players of this generation, yet two in particular have hogged that conversation for a decade.

And only one of them is a greasy cheating cry baby.

Post-match Radio phone-in is quite entertaining……..Cucu in particular getting absolutely shredded (by Chelsea fans)

In 3 days?

Are you under estimating the well known barometer of football success that is, that, he gets them as a club?

 

[Triggaaar]

Absolutely. But he deserves to be talked about as one of the great players of this generation, yet two in particular have hogged that conversation for a decade.

Those two are better the Luka so of course they've hogged the conversation, but yes he is one of the greats of this generation.

 

[Triggaaar]

In 3 days?

Yes.

Any mocking of the suggestion should be saved until after the game.

 

[Durlston]

Great start to Frankie De-Tory's Chelsea return.

 

[theboybilly]

I am concerned that Fat Frank is going to turn them into a counter attacking team…that will not suit us

You are really overestimating Lampard's managerial qualities

 

[theboybilly]

No chance. Only for the next CL games depending on the length of the suspension. So, if it was a three match ban, for example, he'd miss the second leg, and Chelsea's next two Champions League games, in October 2025.

It's a one-match ban so Chilwell misses the 2nd leg (the ban could be increased if the offence warranted it in the eyes of UEFA, but not a chance here I think)

One Graham Potter's Chelsea could (maybe would) have lost at Wolves and Madrid, so what was the point changing coaches?

We leave the ref unmarked at the back post, for a simple tap-in?

 

[Sepulveda]

He cannot have said that
