The match:

Chelsea vs Villarreal

What a game, the UEFA Champions League champion vs the UEFA Europe League champion.

Yes, Chelsea is the obvious favorite to take the trophy to Stanford Bridge, but let’s analyze both teams and the conditions they are in first.

Factors to consider:

Chelsea had 18 players on international competitions this summer, who have just reincorporated last week, with little time to train, plus Thiago Silva and Christiansen are in doubt today. Other than that, they are in really great shape, and Tuchel will be able to line up the majority of his players.

Villarreal on the other hand, won’t count with team star Dani Parejo and Samu due to injuries, and as if it wasn’t enough, Coquelin and goalie Rulli, who was a key factor in winning the UEL, are both in doubt for the game.

Face to face:

This would be the first time these two face each other and it couldn’t be a more special occasion.

The blues come to the match unbeaten, with 3 wins and 1 tie in their pre-season, although I must point out that 2 of those victories were against Peterborough (6-1) and Bournemouth (2-1), no exactly tough rivals. The other one was against a disappointing Arsenal (2-1), while the draw was against Tottenham, a more serious rival.

Not to mention that this is the team that defeated the super Manchester City of Guardiola, that everybody thought was going to become champions for the first time, in the UCL final.

Meanwhile El Submarino Amarillo couldn’t have a worse pre-season with 3 defeats and 3 ties. It is true that they have only lined up less than half the players, but that’s not excuse, they are having a terrible start ahead of the upcoming season.

Not all it’s bad news though, Pau Torres has arrived from the Olympics, and with super star Gerard Moreno, everything is possible. After all, they got the Europe trophy against another English team, the one and only Manchester United, and knocked out another one in the semifinals (Arsenal), who by the way came both as the favorites as

比赛:

切尔西vs维拉利尔

多么精彩的一场比赛啊，欧冠冠军对阵欧冠冠军。

是的，切尔西显然是最有希望把奖杯带给斯坦福桥的球队，但让我们先分析一下这两支球队和他们所处的状况。

考虑因素:

切尔西今年夏天有18名球员参加国际比赛，他们上周刚刚重组，几乎没有时间训练，加上蒂亚戈·席尔瓦和克里斯琴森今天也不确定。除此之外，他们的状态真的很好，而塔切尔将能够让他的大多数球员组成阵容。

另一方面，由于伤病，比利亚雷亚尔不能与球队明星达尼·帕雷霍和萨穆一起上场，而科奎林和守门员Rulli，他们是赢得UEL的关键因素，在比赛中都有疑问。

面对面:

这将是他们两人第一次见面，这是一个非常特别的场合。

蓝军在季前赛中取得了3胜1平的不败战绩，尽管我必须指出其中的两场胜利是对阵彼得伯勒(6胜1负)和伯恩茅斯(2胜1负)，这两场比赛都不是强敌。另一场是对阵令人失望的阿森纳(2-1)，而平局是对阵更劲敌托特纳姆。

更不用说这是一支击败了超级曼城瓜迪奥拉的球队，所有人都认为这支球队将在欧冠决赛中首次夺冠。

与此同时，阿马里洛在季前赛中表现糟糕，3败3平。诚然，他们只安排了不到一半的球员，但这不是借口，他们在即将到来的赛季前有一个糟糕的开局。

但也不是所有的坏消息，保罗托雷斯已经从奥运会抵达，和超级明星杰拉德莫雷诺，一切都是可能的。毕竟，他们在欧洲杯上打败了另一支英格兰球队，唯一的曼联，并在半决赛中淘汰了另一支阿森纳，而后者也是夺冠热门
