Yes, been a madrista since 2009/2010 and started following arsenal when we sold ozil to them. Been following arsenal more closely ever since went ceballos over there and then really started supporting them after the odegaard transfer
Let’s just say if arsenal and real ever got matched in the CL final there’s not a single part of me that would root for arsenal. I like watching the PL and fell for arsenal. Also really liked Henry as a kid.. until he moved to Barca
>Also the side of the bracket is the worst.
Theoretically Napoli is in the final.. on the other side we have two finals plus the actual final...not bad
Why? CL meltdowns are Pep’s specialty, every year they say City goes to the finals and they fail. I’d rather City than Bayern who know how to win the UCL.
We get the hardest path for years in a row now. Plus they didn't let Madrid play 2nd legs at Bernabeu. That little Slovenian nepotism pig doing his all to fuck Madrid over. I can't wait for him to get exposed. It'll be soon.
Liverpool and Chelsea are nowhere near as good as they were last season. All things considered we've been pretty lucky in our draws this year.
Remember, this Chelsea side is sitting at 10th in the Premier League.
That is misleading. Chelsea are coming off an awful period where they could not score even if their life depended on it. But now it starts looking good. its no there yet, but it can be scary. Give them few weeks and I can see them going all in what will be epic battle. They have the players for it, now lets see how Potter does.
Tbh Liverpool started rising before the first leg and still got shit on. They also did have the 7-0 win over manu and the second leg. Imo Chelsea don’t have it together yet.
They've won their last three games, but in the 16 games before that, they've won only 2.
Obviously three wins on the bounce is saying something, but it's still the same group of players. I'd much rather have Chelsea than Napoli, Bayern or City.
We also started last season on a bad foot - few new faces that weren’t working well together. Remember we lost the first game vs Sheriff. Not as bad as Chelsea but there’s a psychological switch at some point that flips and momentum builds. I’m guessing Chelsea is close to that since overcoming Dortmund. Won’t be an easy game
Chelsea has a far superior defence and midfield to Liverpool so it'll be much harder to score against Chelsea than Liverpool (especially with Reece James fit). Chelsea is known to be a bogeyman for Madrid as Madrid have only won 1/7 games against Chelsea in European competition.
Chelsea are now playing with a low block 3 at the back system a bit like Atletico but with better players which Madrid often struggles against. They're beginning to find decent form now as well in the perfect time for them as seen against 10 win streak Borussia Dortmund.
Yes Chelsea are 10th in the premier league but Chelsea has proven that often their worst premier league seasons can be their best champions league seasons.
I don't expect this to be an easy match for either teams but I do expect Chelsea to go through unless they get major injuries to major players before the game (Reece James, Chilwell, Enzo).
How can you say they have a far superior defence to Liverpool when they've only conceded one less in the premier league?
Obviously I'm a bit biased towards Real Madrid and you're a bit biased towards Chelsea so naturally we both have more faith in our own teams, however the general consensus among neutrals is that Madrid are likelier to got through and I'm inclined to agree.
Yeah I think it's fair to say that Madrid are the favourites to go through. Yes that's true that we've only conceded 1 less goal in epl but throughout all competitions we concede less goals overall. For example champions league as we saw at Liverpool vs Madrid.
I don’t think it’s nepotism but they are def drawing them for the biggest “shock” factor like they aren’t even believable anymore. ONE of the strong teams should’ve gotten Napoli or AC Milan or Inter or Benefica. This is shit is so rigged it’s obvious now.
I was talking about Ceferin when I said Slovenian nepotism pig. He talks on documentaries like he grew up in ghetto - and then proceeds to say I needed bravery to leave my father's law company to pursue a career in football. He's an idiot from head to toe.
Would be beautiful. Football heritage. I hope we see Bayern in SF, that way it can be our little version of a ucl final.
Imagine, whoever wins we can celebrate together. I can see fans pulling out a banner that says “gracias danke Toni” in Spanish and german.
Imagine it would be amazing. Bayern and Real Madrid holding arms and jumping together.
for realz LOL so unaware of the cringe that they spewed. aint nobody hugging and smiling after losing a ucl final. they have this superiority fantasy that the dutch cruyff style from the 70s and then 90s with barca is the pinnacle of the game.
In all fairness last year we played PSG, Chelsea and Man City second leg at the Bernabeu and this season we already played Liverpool second leg at home, let's not act like Barcelona fans with conspiracy theories about being fucked over for something random.
It's not a conspiracy theory, Ceferin openly admitted to wanting to fuck Madrid over, and it's not a coincidence that in the same year as Super League was announced we get by far the hardest path in the CL we've ever seen in football.
Good that it's not City or Bayern for sure, but we'll face either of them in the Semis and also both the QF and SF will have the first leg at the Bernabéu, so I'm not really happy with this draw
It sucks. But the silver lining is that we out of all teams already come with an attitude of being able to deliver under any circumstance in this competition.
It haunts other teams to know they matched us.
Chelsea fan here. I have the greatest respect for Madrid and if the last few games we had are anything to go by, we should be in for a great tie. We might not be in our best form but we tend to always turn up to the big games in Europe. Best of luck
You have a great squad but not a great team yet. Chemistry needs to build before you become lethal. Tuchel not being there is a great plus for us. Will have fun for sure.
Guess we'll see Potter's worth. Overall just happy to avoid Bayern/City but this Chelsea squad has a lot of quality and James is one of the few players capable of pocketing Vini on his day
Its not ideal but I think both us & chelsea should not be too unhappy with this draw. It could have been a lot worse for both us, if we had drawn against both Bayern/City instead,
Chelsea fan here, considering we will play 3 centre backs and utilise a low block, how do you think Madrid will fare against us? Although we’ve been extremely poor attacking wise I think we have statistically the best defence in the premier league since our new signings arrived bar Manchester City
If you defend well, this is a hard tie
Luckily, mastermind Tuchel is not a threat, and we have numerous players with individual brilliance, so systems are always on edge, especially with the long shots anyone in our midfield is capable of.
Chelsea has had a solid defense defense so far although no Thiago is a big loss, it’s their offense that has been struggling. Should be an interesting tie regardless
Underdog story? Help smaller clubs? Not really sure, just ironic we always get teams like PSG,City, etc…
Also, the “story” and matchups everyone want typically happen. Ex players, against old clubs, etc
Oh yes of course, financially wise the PL is a giant and they are more solid top to bottom. But I seen people earlier saying Ligas 2nd team can only beat 9th place (at the time) Liverpool while Man Utd are dominating 1st place Barca. PL fans think because of the "Big 6" and that their leagues revenue is larger that they're so much better. Luckily there's a yearly competition that proves otherwise
I hope Big Benz and Vini would be in the form of their lives then. I also hope Modric is fit for the killer passes 💯 and I wish Rodrygo goes should show up when it matters most. All in all, the entire members of the team are important.
Hala Madrid
All the big clubs with highest odds of winning now all on one side of the bracket, and all of the lesser favorites besides Napoli on the other. Who tf was in charge of this?
Madrid need to score first and control game
I don’t see us imploding at city or bayerns ground
Need two goal lead in both to go through
ET I would see Madrid being stronger
Pens - I would have Madrid as favourites
This is bad. We know what our kryptonite is this year - teams that sit back and wait to counter. Of all the teams left in the competition, Chelsea is the most likely to do that. Im nervous
We actually don't counter so much these days. We're much more of a possession based team than a counterattacking teams since our Sarri days. There are stats out there that show we almost never score counter attacking goals anymore.
Certainly one of the most defensive teams in the prem though, right? I’ll admit I don’t watch much English football but that’s the reputation Chelsea have right now
We have a strong defense for sure but it's mostly because we're so strong in possession. Our possession stats are typically on the higher end. Potter's approach is basically possession = defense.
Kante finally coming back from injury. I think Chelsea can win, you are not as good as last season. Although, I can see Kepa conceding long shot from Benzema.
Chelsea was our toughest opponent in the last campaign and the one who knocked us out in the UCL before that. I know they don’t have tuchel, but their style of play is what makes them strong against RM. Chelsea are like advanced version of Atletico. They got great defence and good attackers in front. Gonna be a hard game for sure.
Don’t know how some of you Madridistas are already thinking about Semis coz this game against Chelsea is almost evenly balanced.
So we will play 1st leg of both quarter and semi in Bernabeu right
Sadly yes
Yes

You support both arsenal and madrid
Yes, been a madrista since 2009/2010 and started following arsenal when we sold ozil to them. Been following arsenal more closely ever since went ceballos over there and then really started supporting them after the odegaard transfer
Nice
I always find this so strange. Love Ronnie but not like I’m gonna go support Juve cause he goes there
Let’s just say if arsenal and real ever got matched in the CL final there’s not a single part of me that would root for arsenal. I like watching the PL and fell for arsenal. Also really liked Henry as a kid.. until he moved to Barca
This season I prefer it this way for some reason and hopefully we can go with lead into the away game.
I also prefer the second leg being played in Bernabeu, as the case may be, I hope the Trophy 🏆 comes back to Santiago Bernabeu
I just hope we come out victorious
Playing all second matches far from Bernabeu will be tough. Also the side of the bracket is the worst.
>Also the side of the bracket is the worst. Theoretically Napoli is in the final.. on the other side we have two finals plus the actual final...not bad
[удалено]
Calm down ChatGPT
Tuchel was the biggest menace now that he's gone this should be a lot more favourable
No Tuchel is huge. He knew how to set up tactically against us so I'm not as worried. Either City or Bayern next. Would rather play Bayern haha
Bruh we could be playing some 6th tier team and I’d still be scared shitless lol. It ain’t over til it’s over
6th tier teams mostly low block against teams like Madrid, and it seems to be our biggest Kryptonite so makes sense honestly
Why? CL meltdowns are Pep’s specialty, every year they say City goes to the finals and they fail. I’d rather City than Bayern who know how to win the UCL.
Would rather city but also wanted bayern to knock city out lol
ofc chelsea and then city, easy run? never heard of it
Bayern is gonna beat City
We get the hardest path for years in a row now. Plus they didn't let Madrid play 2nd legs at Bernabeu. That little Slovenian nepotism pig doing his all to fuck Madrid over. I can't wait for him to get exposed. It'll be soon.
Tbf Bayern got the hardest path this time Group of death --> PSG ----> City ----> us/Chelsea ----> probably Napoli
Liverpool and Chelsea are nowhere near as good as they were last season. All things considered we've been pretty lucky in our draws this year. Remember, this Chelsea side is sitting at 10th in the Premier League.

But 10th in the Premier is like beating La Liga, so it's all good./s

Actually we played each second leg last year at Bernabeu

Oh he def is an idiot. Oh and that case yea there was nepotism there.
Other people misread it too, including me. I re-read it as slovenian nepotism and I was wondering what the hell did I write lmao...

i hope Bayern takes out both oil clubs.
Would be beautiful. Football heritage. I hope we see Bayern in SF, that way it can be our little version of a ucl final. Imagine, whoever wins we can celebrate together.

The fucking density of the guy who wrote this pasta initially and without sarcasm. How can you not reread and see how stupid it sounds.

Good. In order to be the best you must beat the best.
I heard it bowlth ways b
And then they´ll win the UCL against Napoli and the least delusional Barca fan will claim it was so easy.
Liverpool and Chelsea are pretty easy given their form this season. But of course anything can happen.
[удалено]
Will be literally next round if we succeed against Chelsea and they win...
Yeah Nevermid, I looked at it wrong
Chelsea is hard?
Don't know why you got downvoted. Chelsea is one of the easiest draws we could've gotten.
Uhmm cuz im not madridista
idk even they haven’t been too convincing so far this season
Chelsea is shit, madrid will beat them prediction 3-1
Compared to the other side of the draw, clearly it is, even if it is less tough than this City Bayern
Comeon guys y'all are real madrid, EUROPEAN ROYALTY, FOOTBALL HERITAGE what's Chelsea for a team like madrid
Chelsea own Real so yes.
sure https://preview.redd.it/w8w6wl40xboa1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=6ac09a6b81ff984fbfc847a0c6e346177f1ad214
Ooohhh Vini vs Reece james again. 2nd leg isnt at home this time though so hopefully we kill the game in Bernabéu.
Good that it's not City or Bayern for sure, but we'll face either of them in the Semis and also both the QF and SF will have the first leg at the Bernabéu, so I'm not really happy with this draw
[удалено]
It sucks. But the silver lining is that we out of all teams already come with an attitude of being able to deliver under any circumstance in this competition. It haunts other teams to know they matched us.
Last min Rodrygo free-kick equalizer with Benz and Vini scoring in E.T in the second leg coming
Chelsea fan here. I have the greatest respect for Madrid and if the last few games we had are anything to go by, we should be in for a great tie. We might not be in our best form but we tend to always turn up to the big games in Europe. Best of luck
You have a great squad but not a great team yet. Chemistry needs to build before you become lethal. Tuchel not being there is a great plus for us. Will have fun for sure.
i love ur optimism 😭🤣🤣
Bayern/ City in semis, Napoli finals #Aporla15
😂🤣 I was expecting our club to draw city, Chelsea or Bayern as that's how our luck has been in UCL where we always face tough teams.
Glad we didn’t get Bayern or Haaland.
Guess we'll see Potter's worth. Overall just happy to avoid Bayern/City but this Chelsea squad has a lot of quality and James is one of the few players capable of pocketing Vini on his day
Funny how reece james and trent are England's rb options even tho one is way better than the other.
Chelsea always plays different vs Madrid. So this game outcome is so unpredictable.
Every game is a final - Zidane
Its not ideal but I think both us & chelsea should not be too unhappy with this draw. It could have been a lot worse for both us, if we had drawn against both Bayern/City instead,
I am confident since this is Madrid but these kind of tournament anything goes. Nothing will be easy. All earned.
Iam not afraid of that match(kinda) but iam afraid of who we will meet next if we won.
Chelsea fan here, considering we will play 3 centre backs and utilise a low block, how do you think Madrid will fare against us? Although we’ve been extremely poor attacking wise I think we have statistically the best defence in the premier league since our new signings arrived bar Manchester City
We fucked then we can’t break down a low block to save our lives
Really? That surprises me considering how good your front 3 and midfield are. What do you think is the problem that makes them struggle with it?
No proper right winger so most attacks run over the left side, no proper attacking system which makes us reliant on moments of individual brilliance
Are you Ancelotti in or out then?
We’ll basically need to win the UCL for him to stay I don’t see Perez bringing him back if we finish trophyless or with only a CDR
Tbf he did win us the cwc which made us champions of the world
Lol you think Perez gives a damn about some cwc
I was being sarcastic mate.
In until the rest of the season, after that I both think and hope we'll go a different route
There's a good chance we'll choke but it's the CL even idk how my club will perform. I'm preparing for heart attacks.
If you defend well, this is a hard tie Luckily, mastermind Tuchel is not a threat, and we have numerous players with individual brilliance, so systems are always on edge, especially with the long shots anyone in our midfield is capable of.
Chelsea has had a solid defense defense so far although no Thiago is a big loss, it’s their offense that has been struggling. Should be an interesting tie regardless
While this draw was going on, literally every team's fanbase wanted to avoid being drawn to Real Madrid 😂
Chelsea is not as strong as they were last year Not that bad of a draw
UEFA is so rigged, it’s comical. That makes our wins that much sweeter. Bring anyone on, anytime… We are Real Madrid!
why would UEFA rig the draw to stack all the biggest clubs on the same side?
Underdog story? Help smaller clubs? Not really sure, just ironic we always get teams like PSG,City, etc… Also, the “story” and matchups everyone want typically happen. Ex players, against old clubs, etc
you can achieve much of this at an even bigger stage, the final
A lot has to go right to get there
It comes down to Benzema having good games or not doesn't it?.
it comes to benzema playing or not probably
Not again, so boring.
Imagine going on to potentially beat Chelsea and City? PL fans will be in shambles with their superior complex
I don’t think it’s superiority complex when players are coming out and saying it too. The money top to bottom is no joke
Oh yes of course, financially wise the PL is a giant and they are more solid top to bottom. But I seen people earlier saying Ligas 2nd team can only beat 9th place (at the time) Liverpool while Man Utd are dominating 1st place Barca. PL fans think because of the "Big 6" and that their leagues revenue is larger that they're so much better. Luckily there's a yearly competition that proves otherwise

If madrid don't win anything this season ancelotti has to go.
All the big clubs with highest odds of winning now all on one side of the bracket, and all of the lesser favorites besides Napoli on the other. Who tf was in charge of this?
Madrid need to score first and control game I don’t see us imploding at city or bayerns ground Need two goal lead in both to go through ET I would see Madrid being stronger Pens - I would have Madrid as favourites
I want City in Semis and Yaya Toure's agent on our side...
There should be a limit on how many times a team could play against each other!
This is bad. We know what our kryptonite is this year - teams that sit back and wait to counter. Of all the teams left in the competition, Chelsea is the most likely to do that. Im nervous

Happy to see some of yous worried about Chelsea 😏
Whatever it is , I know the final would be easy for whoever ends up there from the left side…though tricky
Nice draw, the only thing I was worried about was playing against City or Bayern in the final. Sadly the second legs are not in Bernabeu.
It doesn't matter who the draw is....the best team always goes through. ¡Hasta el final, Vamos Real!
Let's kill them at 1st game
Its okey, could have been worse
thank god chelsea are shit
[удалено]
Once again, and for the millionth time, this is the champions league. And these are the quarterfinals. There are no easy matches.

Bpl chelsea and ucl chelsea are two very different things sadly
Great I never wanted us to win back to back ucls anyway /s
Kante finally coming back from injury. I think Chelsea can win, you are not as good as last season. Although, I can see Kepa conceding long shot from Benzema.
Wish we would have had second legs at home Would have been huge UEFA have rigged this draw
Easiest possible opponent (maybe alongside Benfica) no excuses not to make it trough.
Again? sigh

HALAMADRID even tho it seems UEFA made it as hard as they could for us to pull this off. We’ll show why that badge is so special
Yawn easy final
Look what did at anfield we can dominate away but I understand the magic the bernabeu brings im just saying . HALAMADRID
