! They've got some of the best players in the world, but it looks like they just didn't mesh well as a team. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to go with that lineup against Chelsea? 
Their lack of cohesion is just glaring... and those two goals conceded at home? Unbelievable! 
They showed so much heart and determination. It's clear they've been in tough spots before and can adapt under pressure. Real Madrid on the other hand... well, they looked like they just phoned it in at times 
. I'm definitely rooting for Chelsea to make a deep run now 
!
. Despite having an all-star lineup, they just couldn't seem to get it together against Chelsea 
. I think the problem lies in their inability to gel as a team and maintain consistency throughout the competition 
. A few key players can only take you so far – you need a cohesive unit working towards the same goal 
. This loss might be a wake-up call for Real Madrid to re-evaluate their strategy and approach, but it'll be interesting to see how they respond 
.
they came into the Champions League with so much hype and expectation but it just didn't translate on the pitch 
I mean, Chelsea was the one who looked hungover from last round's loss lol their defense was like a brick wall 
and Real Madrid just couldn't crack it. It's not just about the players though, it's about the team chemistry too 
they just didn't gel together like they did in previous seasons. Chelsea on the other hand has been a complete unit 
they've shown that if you stick to your game plan and execute under pressure, you can achieve big things 
. Anyway, I think Chelsea getting this win just proves that anyone can beat the usual top dogs on their day. Real Madrid might've been favored to win at home, but Chelsea showed up and did their homework. Maybe it's not about how good you are, but how well you play when it counts 
. Guess you can never rule out an upset in football!
.
. i think it shows that even the best teams have bad days, you know? their squad is super talented but they just couldn't gel together in the clutch.
They gotta ask themselves what happened? Like, they had one of the best teams in the world and they just didn't show up at home against Chelsea 
i mean, their come back in the last 16 was insane, but this win is even more impressive! real madrid just got exposed tho 
. And let's be real, Chelsea had them right where they wanted them at Anfield last round... 
. But kudos to them for bouncing back and getting that W! It's always impressive when teams can regroup and get back on track
