With a 1: 3 advantage from the first game in London, Real Madrid will host Chelsea tonight (Tuesday) in the Champions League quarter-final rematch.
The Blancos, who lead the La Liga table and are on their way to the Spanish championship, come confident of themselves after winning their last three home games in the factory and with just one loss in their last nine home games in the Champions League against English clubs.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel spoke immediately after the first game and said that his and his trainees' chances of reversing the result are almost impossible but it is clear that part of it is psychological warfare in order to put Real to sleep.
Last Saturday, the Blues recovered from the painful loss at home when they defeated Southampton 0: 6 away.
If Chelsea do manage to turn the score around, they will reach a third European semi-final in the last four seasons.
The win over Southampton was Chelsea's sixth straight away game in which it has won at least twice, the minimum amount needed for them at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Karim Benzema, who scored the hat-trick in the first game for Real, will continue to be the man on whom the host's offensive game will fall as Mason Mount gives hope to his coach and teammates as he scores all of his last eight goals in his team's away games.
