Stamford Bridge hosts the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie between Chelsea and Real Madrid, the repeat of last season's clash in which the London team won (1-1 in Valdebebas and 2-0 in London) on the way to his second European Cup.
The Whites, who will be coached from the wing by Carlo Ancelotti after his negative PCR test, have not been able to beat Chelsea in any of the five European games they have met (including the Cup Winners' Cup finals in 1971 and the Super Cup in Europe in 1998).
Madrid are not good at duels against Tomas Tuchel either.
The German coach has faced the Madridistas six times, with three different teams (Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea), with a record of two wins and four draws.
To face revalidation and revenge,
