Darren Bent warns Real Madrid, don’t write off Chelsea, they did it against Barcelona

Former Tottenham star, Darren Bent, has tipped Chelsea to beat Real Madrid and move on to the semi-final of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Chelsea is in Spain for the reverse fixture after suffering a 3-1 home defeat at Stamford Bridge last Wednesday.

The Blues boss, Thomas Tuchel had blamed his mistakes for the loss to the LaLiga giants which saw veteran Frenchman, Karim Benzema scoring a hat-trick.

While admitting it was his tactical ‘mistake’, the German boss had ruled out any chances of Chelsea making it to the next stage, The Trumpet gathered.

But Bent, a former England striker believes strongly that Thomas Tuchel ‘s men can pull off a surprise at the Santiago Bernabeu, citing 2012 when a ten-man Chelsea overturned a worse result against Barcelona.

“I think #CFC are more than capable of getting something out of this game,” he told talkSPORT.

“I’m not writing Chelsea off! They managed to get a result off Barcelona with 10 men in 2012. They can get something.”
