Real Madrid not taking chances and being a bit sh*t in general doesn’t automatically mean Chelsea showed fight and passion to keep them at bay. That was pretty pathetic from a team who absolutely battered the same opposition a year ago.
It’s unreasonable to expect perfect tactics, because of the time in charge, and – let’s face it – because it’s Lampard against Carlo Ancelotti. And those tactics quite frequently left Chelsea with two-on-two at the back. There’s no ‘new manager bounce’ to speak of from the man you would think would get the bounciest of performances from players representing club. By his own admission there was no “aggression” against Wolves, and that was the case again in the Bernabeu, a year on from one of the most aggressive performances from Chelsea, against the very same team in the very same stadium.
Chelsea were all over Madrid like a rash when playing under Thomas Tuchel, both in 2021 on their way to the Champions League title, andOn Wednesday it looked as though Madrid were again playing with some ailment or other – they were far from their best – but it had nothing to do with the opposition they were faced with, who meekly watched their below par performance and offered next to nothing in return.
