Chelsea and Real Madrid Combined XI: A dangerously balanced squad

A heavyweight European clash awaits Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel and Co. prepare to play Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semifinal. The Blues will visit Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano to play the first leg of the tie. A goal, or even a win, would be a massive advantage for the team to carry into the second leg a week later. However, that is easier said than done. In Real Madrid, Chelsea is facing one of the toughest European outfits. Regardless of how their domestic season is going, Los Blancos almost always turn up in the Champions League. Furthermore, they have plenty of players who have been in similar situations in recent years and know what it takes to make it all the way to the final—and even win it.
