game start
20:23
Carlo Ancelotti relies on the same starting XI that won 2-0 last Wednesday. He doesn’t make any changes.
20:22
On the staff: Frank Lampard has made four changes at Chelsea compared to the first leg. Chilwell is yellow-red suspended. He will be replaced on the left flank by Cucurella. Koulibaly is out with a hamstring injury. For him, Chalobah starts in the back three. Also, Havertz and Gallagher start up front instead of João Félix and Sterling.
20:17
Real Madrid are eleven points behind Barcelona in La Liga. That’s why the Champions League is all the more important for Los Blancos and Carlo Ancelotti’s team showed once again in the round of 16 and the first leg of the quarter-finals that they deliver when it matters. The first leg win could have been even higher.
20:09
The situation before this game is clear: Madrid won the first leg 2-0 and Chelsea are not in the best of shape at the moment. The Blues have not won in six games in all competitions. During this period, the Londoners lost to Aston Villa, Wolverhampton and Brighton. Since Frank Lampard has been back on the sidelines, only one point has been scored. Anything other than Real progressing would be a huge surprise.
20:00
Hello and welcome to the Champions League. Chelsea will meet Real Madrid in the second leg of the quarter-finals today.
