The Blues come into the game after losing 4-1 to Brentford in the Premier League over the weekend, while Real Madrid won 2-1 over Celta Vigo in LaLiga.

However, Garcia believes Thomas Tuchel’s team has the best chance of winning the tie against Real Madrid due to the strength of their squad.

“It’s a significant game, but it’s strange to talk about it after the result we saw,” Garcia told CBS Sports Golazo.

“However, how the midfield was not operating, not producing, not building up, they suffered so terribly against Celta Vigo this weekend really disturbed me,” Garcia continued.

“On the other hand, you never know what you’re going to get with Chelsea.”

“But I think Chelsea [are favorites to win] because of the squad they have, and the rotation Tuchel has been doing can help them more if they arrive in the last third of the game, but if you’re going to play Real Madrid, you don’t know what Real Madrid you’re going to face, difficult to call, we’ll all see tomorrow,” he said.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
