The Blues arrive fresh from a humiliating defeat to Brentford in the Premier League, but Thomas Tuchel will hope that European nights can bring the best out of his side in the capital again.
They were convincing against Lille over two legs, to book their spot in the quarter-finals, but they'll know that Madrid present an entirely different test over the next two games.
Predicted Chelsea starting XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Ziyech, Havertz, Pulisic.
| Position | Real Madrid roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Courtois, Lunin, Lopez, Fuidias, Pineiro |
| Defenders | Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho, Marcelo, Mendy, Gutierrez, Zamora, Santos |
| Midfielders | Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Vazquez, Ceballos, Isco, Camavinga, Blanco, Peter |
| Forwards | Hazard, Benzema, Asensio, Jovic, Bale, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Mariano, Latasa |
By all accounts, Los Blancos should not be here, were it not for a remarkable comeback against Paris Saint-Germain - but here they are, and dreaming of European glory once more.
Carlo Ancelotti, Eden Hazard and more are no strangers to Stamford Bridge, and they'll know just how much of a test Chelsea will give them, even if they are out of sorts.
Predicted Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Junior.
