REVEALED: Rio ferdinand and joe cole disagree on what chelsea need to do vs real madrid | Vintage Vibes

Rio Ferdinand has pinpointed the significance of Chelsea scoring the first goal against Real Madrid this evening should they want to progress. The Blues are currently trailing 3-1 after the first-leg defeat last week.

Thomas Tuchel has included Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Timo Werner in his XI as he looks to overturn a two-goal deficit against the 13-times champions of Europe. The Chelsea boss knows it will be a very difficult challenge for his side, though, as they look to retain their European crown.

Joe Cole, formerly of Chelsea, has been assessing his old side's chances of producing a comeback this evening. Cole said to BT Sport: "I thought that they were dreadful in the first half. They were a lot better in the second half and, despite the mistake, were much better than their first-half showing."
