4 min: Real Madrid try to do the Spanish thing, and play the ball around at the back. Chelsea have won three from three of their group games but now for a trip to Spain, and Real Madrid, currently second in Liga F. 1 min: And away we go in the Spanish capital, where Chelsea force an early corner. Her cross-cum-shot flew into the net from the right to give her team a two-goal cushion. Madrid go on the attack and Weir, so skilful, is tackled. 41 min: Berger holds on grimly on to a corner that was arrowing at her, and into the goal. 19 min: This is a tight game, just like the first meeting. It’s been a game concertinaed in the midfield. Weir was the wrong player for the ball to fall to. The ball coming back off the post and back into Misa and back. The ball from Ingle finds Reiten and Andres comes across and is too slow. 46 min: Back away we go at the Alfredo di Stefano, and Chelsea’s changes look attacking.

They’re a very complete side, with a well-defined game plan and they manage the moments of the game well. They’re a very experienced and mature team, they know exactly what they are looking for.

And the English boss, [who picked up the November Manager of the Month](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/emma-hayes-chelsea-manager-month-28684597) award on Thursday and has won the WSL five times is clearly desperate to clinch the only major trophy missing from her Chelsea haul. "What’s different (this year) is that we’re now in a position to qualify. "They're a team that prove much different to English teams, with Spanish teams there's a lot of differences. However, this season has been a different story with the Blues winning every European tie to build up a five point lead at the top of the group. [Real Madrid](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/real-madrid-cf) in their fourth Group A clash on Thursday after taking maximum points so far. [https://reachsportshop.com/book/our-year-european-champion-2022/](https://reachsportshop.com/book/our-year-european-champion-2022/) "That is a massive pitch out there and in order to get a result we need to keep the ball very well because they do, so we absolutely have to on Thursday." "I think as a team the patience in possession and ability to threaten, especially in wide spaces, I know is part of their (Real Madrid's) strength but for us we need to focus on our experience, what we've done in European competition. [Emma Hayes](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-women-fc) says winning the [Champions League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-women-fc) is a goal "every year" as [Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-women-fc) close in on a place in the quarter-finals. "We had a tough draw, this is a really tough group, so for us just to win is the aim and put ourselves in the best position possible." [Chelsea](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/chelsea-women-fc) were edged out on goal difference by VfL Wolfsburg and [Juventus](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/juventus-fc) after all three finished level on 11 points.

A fair result in the end I think. Three missed opportunities for Sam Kerr and a mistake from Ann-Katrin Berger for Real Madrid's goal. Sometimes it's just one ...

Space for Guro Reiten to run at the Real Madrid defence. It comes back off the post and goes back over the line off the back of her head. Keeps herself big for such a long period of time. That’s a huge save [from Ann-Katrin Berger]. Sam Kerr’s run is really clever as well to get on the blind side of the defender. Real Madrid 1-1 Chelsea

Emma Hayes has made four changes to her side from the big 8-0 win over Leicester at the weekend.

[Sophie Ingle](/en/teams/profile/sophie-ingle), the other scorer in 2-0 win over the Madrid side at Kingsmeadow, starts and [Maren Mjelde](/en/teams/profile/maren-mjedle) is back among the subs.
