Valery Kechinov, former striker of Spartak Moscow and the Russian national team, made statements about Real Madrid’s defeat of London Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The expert noted that the Blancos are stronger than their rivals in a number of parameters, and Chelsea is not yet ready to fight to solve serious problems. According to Kechinov, the Londoners have almost no chance in this conflict.
“The game was dictated by Real Madrid, it was clear that they were safer and stronger overall, both in composition and in the game. It is clear that Chelsea is not good. It seems that the players are not bad, but the atmosphere for big goals is not yet formed. It was clear that Real Madrid would not miss the win.
As for Chelsea’s prospects in the next game, it seems to me that they are too few. Real Madrid is a very experienced team, they do not miss such an advantage in such serious tournaments, ”Kechinov told socialbites.ca.
Real beat the Londoners at home with goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio. The return match will be played on 18 April in London. In the other quarter-finals, Inter beat Benfica 2-0, Napoli lost 0-1 to Milan and Manchester City beat Bayern 3-0.
