UCL: Chelsea tipped to beat Real Madrid despite loss to Brentford

Former football star Pat Nevin has tipped the Blues to defeat Real Madrid in the UCL on Wednesday.

Nevin said the Los Blancos should not expect the same performance the Blues put up against Brentford over the weekend that saw them lost three points.

The former football star said if Real Madrid think they can watch the game between Chelsea and Brentford and expect the same result, performance, system and even personnel, especially in the midfield, they will be very disappointed.

He added, “This will be one of those special nights when I have no doubt it will be a pleasure to be at Stamford Bridge, maybe even a game to be talked about for years and decades to come.

At the moment I, slightly self-indulgently, have to admit I will not be there. Under the current sanctions I have not been able to attend and have no idea when I will be able to get back in the ground.

I will not however be moaning about it. There are many Chelsea fans who have that feeling every single week and getting to a Champions League match against Real Madrid would be nothing less than a dream come true.”
