Real Madrid will have been encouraged having seen Brentford deliver one of the biggest upsets in Premier League history on Saturday against Chelsea ahead of ...

It will be encouraging for Madrid to see one of the greatest upsets in Premier League history just days before their first-leg showdown. They made the most of these 10 minutes, which is maybe not normal. We gave a big chance straight away after the goal, and then the next one was a goal. They were poor in every department, which is alarming in light of their impending Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid. "We were not aware of the danger in these moments, which is also very strange for us. "It is difficult after an international break to play as a favourite on top of it, to dictate the match and break down a difficult and well organised team."

Real Madrid is coming off a 4-0 pounding to rival Barcelona, but they can shake it off and stay atop the standings with a win over Celta Vigo.

With nine matches left, Marseille has just a one-point lead over third-placed Rennes and has no room for error in its bid to seal direct qualification for next season’s Champions League. Saint-Etienne — which has 10 league titles to its name, one more than Marseille — dominated French soccer during the 1960s and ‘70s, with the Mediterranean club becoming one of its strongest rivals after regaining a spot in the top-flight in 1966.Lazio will be looking to boost its bid for a European spot when it hosts Sassuolo in Serie A. Seventh-placed Lazio is two points behind Atalanta and Roma, which it lost to in the capital derby before the international break. The country’s two most popular clubs face off at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard with Saint-Etienne looking for points at home in its fight against relegation and Marseille looking for a victory that would cement its second place behind leader Paris Saint-Germain. Following a pitiful start to the season, Saint-Etienne has been inspired by the hiring in December of coach Pascal Dupraz. It has lost just one of its past eight matches to climb into the relegation playoff place. At the other end of the table, Spezia hosts Venezia in a relegation battle. Some of the blame for Italy’s failure to make the World Cup has been placed on forward Ciro Immobile but the Lazio captain has four goals in his past six matches for his club. Both are in action against potential Champions League qualifiers: Bayern visits fifth-placed Freiburg before Dortmund hosts fourth-placed Leipzig. If Freiburg does Dortmund a favor in the early game, Marco Rose’s team can return it later as both Freiburg and Leipzig are level on points. Instead, the match will be broadcast via ESPN+, which can be accessed via the ESPN app on smart TVs and streaming devices.Live stream options: - ESPN+ -- While the match won’t be on TV, it will be available to stream via ESPN+ in both English and Spanish.

Perhaps the standout performance for this magnificent duo came in El Derbi de Barcelona, against FC Barcelona. Xavi Hernández’s team went ahead early on, however, Darder scored an equalizer with a shot from outside of the area, with R. D.T. assisting him. Meanwhile, Darder has scored three goals and played seven assists so far this season, making him one of the leading assist providers in the division despite the fact he plays further away from goal. They have now played 77 matches together since R. D.T. arrived at the RCDE Stadium in January of 2020, winning 35 of these outings. When the game was deadlocked, Darder produced a moment of magic to assist his teammate R. D.T. The striker from Madrid, like all good penalty box predators, made the most of the opportunity and converted past Sergio Rico. It was yet another goal crafted by this strike partnership, one which earned a 1-0 victory for Los Pericos. R. D.T. now has 14 goals to his name in total, with this tally placing him as the leading Spanish scorer in LaLiga and the second overall, only behind Benzema. Now they seek a win to maintain its comfortable lead of La Liga before it prepares for next week's Champions League clash at Chelsea.

Despite these issues, Real Madrid scored first from a penalty committed on Militão that Benzema put in the back of the net. During the first half, Real Madrid were outplayed by a Celta team who pressed aggressively while overcoming Real’s meek pressing attempts. At this point in the league, it doesn’t come as a surprise to see Real Madrid win against Celta the way they did.

Real Madrid were tactically outclassed last season, and the themes still remain. Here's how they need to change their ways in order to avenge last season's ...

Last season, Nacho had space to carry the ball and pick out a pass, but didn’t have the ability to do so in a way that was conducive to getting the ball in the final third. There is a collective focus that is required at this level, and in the Champions League knockout rounds, the margin of error even on one slip can be season-defining. The latter is an absolute demonic threat in the final third as someone who provides overloads and creates goals from a deeper position. They can, and should, continue to do that (though will have to do a better job defending the line overall and rotating quickly to the wings): Chelsea have both the runners and passers to draw up that play like clockwork. The German manager knows how to design a scheme that aims to maximize space between the lines, and even widen the gap between the opposing players with clever off-ball movement. When Real Madrid play that way, you can see it in their body language: The bounce and swagger are gone, they get cold and demoralized — never in position to put together three passes to escape their half. Ancelotti needs to get creative beyond the nominal starting XI which is anchored by the usual three midfielders that get circled and hounded every season where Real Madrid collapse. Chelsea were just as happy with the alternative option: A long-ball prayer to a heavily-marked Karim Benzema who was swarmed too quickly to do anything. To Modric dropping his shoulder, carrying the ball 30 yards and slinging a through ball on his last legs? Maybe Ancelotti will surprise us all — Chelsea included — and shake things up in favour of a more athletic, two-way team that goes toe-to-toe with Chelsea physically. Chelsea obliterated Real Madrid over two legs last season, and despite the performance against Brentford, still have a +35 goal differential in the Premier League, and have the ceiling in these knockout games to get things right tactically.

El técnico del Barcelona reconoce que una derrota del líder en Balaídos le daría una motivación extra a su equipo ante el Sevilla.

"Lo nuestro es ir por el segundo puesto ahora, hay mucho en juego como para hablar de fichajes o de nombres”, respondió, firme, al ser preguntado por un interés en el fichaje de Antonio Rüdiger, reconociendo, sí, que "es verdad que Mateu, Jordi y la Junta están trabajando para la próxima temporada"."Aquí no hay días tranquilos, siempre hay una calma tensa porque esto es el Barça”, advirtió al ser interrogado por el optimismo que se respira alrededor del equipo, relatando que "conozco bien al club, sé qué se respira siempre alrededor y es una sensación que me gusta. Soy optimista y espero que se llegue a una solución... Creo que es cuestión de tiempo”, desveló, a la vez que mantuvo su apuesta indiscutible con Ousmane Dembélé."No tengo ni una queja de él a nivel profesional desde que llegué, le veo muy implicado, es un futbolista de mucho nivel y bien trabajado sigo pensando que es el mejor en su posición”, destacó, trasladando la responsabilidad de un acuerdo para su continuidad al propio club y al jugador: "Depende de él, sabe el proyecto que hay aquí y debe hablarlo con el club". "Viene de tres empates, en un momento no muy bueno, pero sé que será un rival muy fuerte, con un entrenador al que admiro y sabiendo que es un club que hace un gran trabajo, porque conozco bien a gente que trabaja allí.

Karim Benzema scored two penalties but missed another as Real Madrid returned to winning ways in La Ligawith a 2-1 win at Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Terrier, who scored his 17th goal of the season, nearly secured victory for Rennes in the closing stages but his effort was saved by Nice goalkeeper Walter Benítez. “I know who is to blame but I will not name them and do you this favour. “The fourth official showed the wrong number,” Nagelsmann told a news conference. Madrid opened a 12-point gap over Sevilla and a 15-point advantage over Barcelona and Atlético Madrid Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, missed the match after testing positive for Covid this week. The third penalty that set up Benzema’s 70th-minute winner came after a questionable foul when Ferland Mendy stumbled over the leg of Kevin Vázquez. Celta also had a goal waived off in the first half after a video review. I think it was a foul in our favour.”

Chelsea News: The Blues' return from the international break followed a similar trend to what usually happens after time away from the pitch.

ChelseaEvery word Thomas Tuchel said on Chelsea vs Brentford, Rudiger, Mendy, Real Madrid and moreChelsea produced one of their poorest performances of the season and suffered a shock 4-1 home defeat at Stamford Bridge against BrentfordTom Ricketts responds to Chelsea supporters amid Stamford Bridge ownership protestNext Chelsea OwnerSupporters have been protesting outside of Stamford Bridge against the Ricketts family's bid for the club and now there has been a response. So it's a mixture of everything "They will certainly be hoping that obviously, in different circumstances this time around, they can repeat that feat again as Tuchel will demand this loss be moved on from in a swift manner, and a big clash against a Galactico of the game presents the perfect opportunity to repeat history. We selected the team because we felt it was the best team against Brentford." It may feel like a terrible day to be a Chelsea fan with how Tom Ricketts refused to back down in spite of fresh protests pre-match, and in conjunction with the result itself, the next week for the club is massive to try and keep the supporters' morale high during this time of uncertainty. After Chelsea got obliterated at the hands of West Brom last term, they made sure it was a one-off as they went on to eventually win the Champions League courtesy of that special night in Porto last May. "It seems like it. After the third goal, we had a disallowed goal, a pressing situation against the goalkeeper, and another big chance from Kai Havertz. We missed all three of them and there was a feeling that it wasn't our day. A Vitally Janelt double coupled with a special goal from Christian Eriksen. A late scrappy strike from substitute Yoane Wissa compounded what a terrible day on and off the pitch for the current European and World Champions. They now have the chance to bounce back against Real Madrid midweek in the Champions League. "We were working hard for the first goal, and we know how hard it is against Brentford. They defend high and man-mark or defend deep in a block around the box.

After the third goal, we had a disallowed goal, a pressing situation against the goalkeeper, and another big chance from Kai Havertz. Brentford made a lot of the ten minutes we gave them. The half-time speech was like this, a reminder to keep on going.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has insisted his side's 4-1 thrashing by Brentford was not affected by their upcoming Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

And it did. "Again, it's more difficult for us than them to play as the underdog and be well prepared for this match. The half-time speech was like this.

An inspired Thibaut Courtois in net and goals from Karim Benzema were enough to secure the three points.

Poor game from the Brazilian. A game that failed to capture the imagination, but ultimately ended in a Real Madrid win. Brais Mendez and Kelvin Vazquez did no threaten down Madrid’s left. Courtois has become a pillar of this team. The Belgian can be relied upon for at least one-goal-denying save per game. There was a disallowed goal for Celta and three penalty kicks awarded to Real Madrid — all four were justifiable calls— which influenced the final result.

This time, he made no mistake and Benzema’s second goal of the contest proved to be the winner. The home side took the lead in the 11th minute with a goal by Joao Felix – the first of two on the night for the Portugal international – only to then shift into a lower gear and allow Gonzalo Escalante to bring Alaves level in the 63rd minute. Nolito equalized for the hosts early in the second half, but Real Madrid won another penalty in the 63rd minute and Benzema stepped to the spot.

On the other hand, his Chelsea squad was “mentally tired” during the shock defeat to Brentford, according to Tuchel. According to another report from Marca, Ancelotti still picked the starting line-up on Saturday, but Davide and assistant coaches made the decisions during the match. Instead, his son Davide was in charge in the dugout alongside the other assistant coaches.

Thomas Tuchel has revealed Chelsea's preparations for their Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid will begin on Monday.

The team selection was questioned against Brentford over whether or not the Chelsea head coach had one eye on the Real tie. We selected the team because we thought it was the best team against Brentford. Not half an eye or one percent of one for Real Madrid." Now the two sides come head-to-head again less than a year later.

Real Madrid goalkeeper and former Blue Thibaut Courtois has had his say on Chelsea's shock defeat to Brentford ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash.

“If I see them win a title, I congratulate the people I know, but when they play against me, I hope we win.” “We lack intensity at times and Chelsea are good at that.” The La Liga leaders will visit Stamford Bridge for the first leg of the tie with confidence after a win over Celta Vigo at the weekend.

Real's defeat to Barcelona could still have long-term repercussions, especially for Ancelotti. But a win in Vigo lets them move on for now.

Karim Benzema has converted two of three penalty tries to lead Real Madrid to a 2-1 win at Celta Vigo.
