Real Madrid vs Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. After a confidence-boosting 6-0 win over Southampton on Saturday, Thomas Tuchel aims to spring an unlikely comeback and propel Chelsea to their second consecutive Champions League semi-final.
After a pretty blunt assessment of his players after the first-leg disappointment last Wednesday, Tuchel got the response he was looking for at the weekend with Chelsea hitting six past the Saints without reply. Timo Werner and Mason Mount hit a double as Marcos Alonso, and Kai Havertz rounded out the scoring.
Though as Tuchel stressed post-game, this clash will be very different under the lights with an expectant Los Blancos crowd dreaming of another European crown next month. Last season's Champions League run was dominated by the Blues taking the lead and shutting out their opponents, and this tie has given Tuchel and his players with a vastly different test.
