Real Madrid vs Chelsea
Nobody saw it coming. Real Madrid won so comprehensively at Stamford Bridge to all but seal the tie. Chelsea need to mount a humongous comeback to achieve the almost impossible.
Los Blancos had an incredible start, led by their main man Karim Benzema. The French striker scored two world-class headers to put the away side in control. However, Benzema was not finished. In the second half, he punished a mistake by Edouard Mendy to seal his hat-trick. Carlo Ancelotti’s side flawlessly executed their game plan.

Benzema and Vinicius Jr. are the two great hopes for the side who also have an excellent goalkeeper in form. Playing in front of their home crowd, Madrid will be hoping to avoid any slipups and pick up the result.
It has been a restless few weeks for Chelsea. The protests against the Ricketts family continue. They were hammered 4-1 by Brentford at home in one of the shocks of the season.
Madrid piled on the misery in a game where their famed defence looked even more out of form. Those results sowed the seeds of anger that were unleashed on Southampton who were hit for six.

Thomas Tuchel will be wary of not conceding any more. Chelsea will need at least three goals to overturn the scoreline against Real Madrid.
