Chelsea is said to be a bright candidate against Real Madrid in tonight's UEFA Champions League clash. The Blues are the weaker ones in this match, because Real Madrid is currently in the best form. Ancelotti wants to focus on winning the title again with La Liga so far beyond his reach this season. The Champions League, on the other hand, is the only cup competition that Chelsea are currently participating in and will therefore make it difficult for Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Xi player who played for Real Madrid and Chelsea during their football career. Goalie:
Thibaut Courtois.
Defender:
Carvalho, Antonio Rudiger and Essien.
Midfielder:
Makelele, M. Kovacic, E. Hazard and Arjen Robben. The attacker:
N. Anelka, Alvaro Morata and S. Eto'O.
However, Antonio Rudiger is the latest player to play for both clubs when he joins Los Blancos for the 2022/23 season. He is currently one of the best defenders in Europe's top 5. He will play Chelsea for the first time since leaving the Premier League club. Hazard is another player who left the Premier League club two years ago and is likely to be on the bench against Chelsea. In addition to Hazard and Rudiger, other players still active in football include Courtois, Kovacic and Morata.

Xavi urges Barcelona to go further to sign World Cup-winning defender
It's no secret that signing a right-back remains on Barcelona's agenda this summer. Besides, the name Juan Foyth de Villarreal has been buzzing for a long time, but so far nothing has really mattered.
As Barcelona begin to prepare for the upcoming transfer market, SPORT has reported that Xavi has asked the board to put more effort into signing the Argentina international as he believes the defender "will be the next step". important leap in quality from right-back." .
Foyth, 25, has produced some stellar performances for his team this season and his return has certainly gone unnoticed. The aforementioned source calls the defender 'one of the hardest full-backs to beat' and this trait is very useful for Barcelona. Over the past few seasons, the Blaugrana have struggled to find the right right-back. Acquiring Sergino Dest in 2020 turned out to be a blunder while Hector Bellerin was also a poor addition last summer and was moved in in January.
This season, Jules Kounde and Ronald Araujo have played their part and now the board have made it clear that they must return to the centre-back position.
Barcelona are aware of Xavi's desire to sign Foyth, but negotiations with Villarreal are indeed difficult as they continue to refuse to lower their claim to the 2022 FIFA World Cup winners with Argentina.
It is believed they will be forced to sell their players at the end of the season but if they end up in the Champions League, everything will change. For now, they continue to uphold Foyth's supposed €54 million release clause.
As part of the contingency plan, Barça has indeed prepared a list of alternatives, including Benjamin Pavard, Thomas Meunier or even Joao Cancelo, but the priority is still the acquisition of Foyth.
