Real Madrid and Chelsea are set to face off in the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League for the third consecutive year, with the winners of the last two ties going on to win the trophy. Both teams have struggled in their domestic leagues this season and will be eager to salvage their campaign by winning Europe's premier club competition.

Real Madrid suffered a shocking defeat to Villarreal over the weekend, effectively ending their hopes of retaining their La Liga title. With their focus now fully on defending their record 14th UCL crown, they will look to draw upon their recent success against English clubs, including last year's final against Liverpool, as they prepare to face Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's caretaker manager Frank Lampard was unable to get the team back to winning ways in their recent Premier League fixture against Wolves. Although their 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund to reach this stage was a highpoint, their recent record suggests they will have to raise their game significantly to compete for a third UCL title.

Despite losing 5-4 on aggregate in last season's quarter-final tie, Chelsea emerged victorious against Real Madrid in a thrilling 3-2 encounter after extra time. The Blues have not lost an away game on Spanish soil since March 2018 and have even managed to secure a win and a draw in their last two visits to the Spanish capital to take on Real Madrid. However, their 1-0 loss to Dortmund in the first leg of their last-16 match in Germany is a reminder that they cannot take anything for granted.

Chelsea's recent away record has been poor, with just one win in their last 13 competitive games on the road. This suggests that they may struggle against a Real Madrid team who will be highly motivated to make amends for their domestic disappointments.

Knowing Real Madrid, Ancelotti's men aim for the fifteenth UCL title and will not be stopped from doing so. I believe the hosts will win at home, so the 1.52 odds are quite nice here. Good luck!

皇家马德里和切尔西将连续第三年在欧洲冠军联赛淘汰赛阶段相遇，最后两场比赛的胜者将赢得冠军奖杯。这两支球队本赛季在国内联赛中表现不佳，他们都渴望通过赢得欧洲顶级俱乐部比赛来挽救自己的比赛。

上周末，皇马惨败给比利亚雷亚尔，彻底终结了他们卫冕西甲冠军的希望。现在他们的注意力完全集中在捍卫他们创纪录的第14座UCL冠军上，他们将利用最近对阵英格兰俱乐部的成功，包括去年对阵利物浦的决赛，因为他们准备对阵切尔西。

与此同时，切尔西的代理教练弗兰克·兰帕德在最近对阵狼队的英超比赛中没能让球队回到赢球的状态。虽然他们2-0战胜多特蒙德进入这一阶段是一个高潮，但他们最近的战绩表明，他们必须显著提高自己的水平，以争夺第三个UCL冠军。

尽管在上赛季的1 / 4决赛中总比分5-4落败，但切尔西在加时赛后以3-2惊险险胜皇马。自2018年3月以来，蓝军还没有在西班牙本土输过一场客场比赛，甚至在最近两次访问西班牙首都与皇家马德里的比赛中取得了一胜一平的成绩。然而，他们在德国16强首回合0 -1负于多特蒙德，这提醒他们不能认为任何事情都是理所当然的。

切尔西最近的客场战绩很糟糕，在过去的13场客场比赛中只赢了一场。这表明，他们可能会在与皇马的竞争中挣扎，皇马将会非常积极地弥补他们在国内的失望。

了解皇马，安切洛蒂的球员们的目标是第15个UCL冠军，这是不会被阻止的。我相信东道主会在主场获胜，所以1.52的赔率相当不错。好运！
