Real Madrid are back in action in the UEFA Champions League this week as they travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in an important semi-final fixture on Wednesday. The first leg between the two teams took place at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano last week and ended in a 1-1 draw.
Chelsea have undergone a renaissance under Thomas Tuchel this season and are well on their way to a top-four finish in the Premier League. The Blues squandered several chances to run away with the tie in Spain last week and will need to be more clinical to maintain what currently is a narrow advantage.
Real Madrid have plenty of experience in high-profile European games and will have to adopt an aggressive approach to the game. Los Blancos conceded an away goal to Chelsea in the first leg and the likes of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior will have to make amends this Wednesday.
