English International and former Liverpool FC forward, Michael Owen is backing Chelsea FC to edge a narrow win against the 13 times winners in the second leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League to secure their place in the final tonight.

Owen was emphatic and advised Chelsea to play the game to their advantage when he wrote in his column for BetVictor.

“This is the type of game where Thomas Tuchel thrives. With an away goal in the bag, he is sure to have his side well drilled with the aim of giving nothing away.

“If Chelsea is happy to sit in, I think there is every chance they could nick one on the break against a Madrid defence that’s looked shaky in recent weeks.

“With that in mind, I’m siding with the Blues’ to go through and make it a second all-English Champions League final in three years.”

Chelsea FC has only managed to win three of their last nine European fixtures at Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel’s side managed to end a five-game run without a win against Spanish opposition when Chelsea FC beat Real Madrid’s bitter rivals Atletico at Stamford Bridge in the round of 16.
