The madridistas are even better off losing by a goal difference to Chelsea to reach the Champions League semi-finals in this edition.
Results that would classify Real Madrid for the semifinals
The whites know that they cannot go out distracted against the London team despite the size of their victory. Despite the fact that it is already known that the rule of the double value of the goals scored as visitors is not in force, they know precedents where they were eliminated after having won in the first leg: for example, in 2019 against Ajax. After having won in Amsterdam (1-2), the young promises ajacied put away their fears and thrashed the whites (1-4) in the same Santiago Bernabeu. On other occasions they brushed against disaster: in 2015 against Schalke 04, for example, and with Ancelotti on the white bench. After winning in Germany, the Germans prevailed at the Coliseum de la Castellana (3-4), or Juventus, who in 2018, and after having lost in Turin by (0-3), were one triad away from equalizing the tie : a penalty from Benatia to Lucas Vázquez made Cristiano establish a 1-3 that closed the Bianconeri ‘s way to the final in Kiev. Also Bayern, in 2017, arrived in Madrid after falling at the Allianz Arena. He forced extra time, but in extra time, the Whites took the pass to the next round. They won (4-2).
Everything against Chelsea
Thus, the whites will use any victorious result against the blues to sentence the tie and access the semifinals of this edition. Any draw against the Londoners also serves them: in the same way that if they won, they would be classified. Interestingly, Tuchel counts his three visits to Madrid at his stadium as draws, one with Borussia Dortmund, another with PSG (the two matches played at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and the two finished 2-2) and the last one with Chelsea the last season, in a match held at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium (1-1).
