Based on the absolute garbage they've all played, I'd say we'd have got through.
Champions league Semi Finals 2020-21 - April 27-28 and May 4-5

Yep.
An injury plagued Bayern vs PSG was probably the best CL tie of the last few years. Both games were incredible to watch.
The three CBs hide each other's weaknesses and are protected by their fullbacks.
Double pivot of Kante and Jorginho. None of them are good enough to play as the lone DM.
Basically the best formation for his defenders and midfielders.
What a major, major flop Hazard is. Confirms everything that his critics used to say about him.
Maybe it'll change in the 2nd but god damn, what a stinker of a performance.

Almost like Chelsea spent a gazillion pounds this summer and we brought in Cavani and two backups.
Why do we always miss out on an easy champions league years. Chelsea would get a harder game out of Burnley.
Madrid look like an old pet that needs putting down
Awful stuff from Madrid. I'm grateful that they knocked Liverpool out but thought they'd do a bit better than this against Chelsea
That's good coaching though, isn't it.
Who have we given 5 years to? It’s been less than a season for Moyes, 2 for lvg and 2 and a bit for Jose.
Really good to see young English players doing so well on the biggest stage. Foden yesterday and Mount tonight. Love it.
But defensively, they were nightmares.
We excel against these types of teams, so I'd see us progressing all the way.
Madrid look old , slow and tired
Yeah I forgot we always shop at dollar store.
So weird to see Madrid play in black socks. Feels like Chelsea are playing Sevilla here.
Aaaah yes. The Sancho summer.
Hazard was incredible at his best, injuries have taken their toll on him at Madrid, not sure it has much to do with his peak ability.
If he wins, sure. If not, it's playing 7 defensive minded players.
Whatever chance there is left of stopping City doing a treble and winning the CL rests with the renties.
This Madrid team would get comfortably taken apart by Pep.
Hope that is a good sign for the Euros.
Havertz has tunnel vision
Wrong decision by Havertz
Both teams really have no right to be in a CL final. Both poor enough sides
Does the ref need a shite or something?
Imagine telling a Chelsea fan during the latter part of Lampard’s tenure that they’d make the champions league final that same season. He’d try and have you sectioned.
He had these on the regular for Chelsea.
Yes, and Serbia could have reached 3rd place at 2010 WC, as they did beat Germany in group stage, and then Germany got the third place.
Sure
Definitely.
Chelsea press so, so well under Tuchel. Just like City (and PSG) last night.
Can you be one of Europe's elites in this era without an effective, well organised team press? Asking for a friend.

This is the worst Real team in the last 15 to 20 years, isn't it?
Hope so, too. If they finish the season strongly, you'd imagine they'd be going into Euros with full confidence.
Chelsea is a bit wasteful. Mount could have squared it earlier, now Havertz could have.
Still spawned their way to the semi’s
Madrid have been the better side, Chelsea have been saved by 2 brilliant saves by Mendy.
Maybe, but they have still got to the semi final of the CL and despite it not looking likely, could still make it to the final.
I literally forgot that Hazard is playing.
A lot of players who have won a trophy, including ours I hope.
Chelsea look good for the win here minus a bit of Benzema brilliance.
