Chelsea will lock horns with Real Madrid in the second-leg of their Champions League quarter-final at Stanford Bridge on Tuesday.
Los Blancos took 2:0 advantage over Chelsea at Bernabeu in the first-leg. Blues will now buckle up under new interim manager Frank Lampard.

On the contrary, Real Madrid defeated Cadiz in Sunday’s La Liga clash and they will look to win their sixth successive Champions League knockout match, which will set a new Continental Record for them.
