Chelsea v Real Madrid prediction and team news: Who will win Champions League game?
Our predictions for Chelsea v Real Madrid in the Champions League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Frank Lampard will be hoping his first win since returning to Chelsea comes in their crucial Champions League quarter-final second leg showdown against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
The Blues need to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Madrid, which was a grim night for Lampard's men. Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio scored for the Spanish side, while Ben Chilwell was also sent off for Chelsea.
Lampard has now lost all three of his games since replacing Graham Potter in the Stamford Bridge dugout, with the latest defeat coming against Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
Chelsea only have the Champions League to play for, with the Blues currently 11th in the Premier League and 17 points off the top four.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have won four of their last five and they'll feel confident of retaining their Champions League crown. It would add to their FIFA Club World Cup success, while they've also got the Copa del Rey final to look forward to.
