Real Madrid and Chelsea will lock horns at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano in the first of this week's Champions League fixtures.
Domestically, it has been a mixed campaign for both clubs with neither side in the driving seat to lift silverware this season.
However, progressing to the final of Europe's premier competition would ensure 2020/21 is remembered much more favourably in the years to come.
Chelsea dispatched Real's city rivals Atletico in the last 16 before dumping out Porto in the next round, while the Spaniards eliminated Atalanta and then Liverpool en route to the semi-finals.
The game could also see Eden Hazard's first encounter with his former club since leaving them two years ago to join Los Blancos.

Our prediction: Real Madrid v Chelsea
Both sides will feel confident of their chances of making the Champions League final next month. Real have a knack of pulling off the big results in Europe, while the visitors have excelled under Thomas Tuchel since his appointment in January.
Against Liverpool, Real controlled the ball and dictated the tempo from midfield, and getting to grips with that will be key for Chelsea.
It could be a tight game on Tuesday, as semi-final first legs often are, with both sides likely to prioritise avoiding mistakes above the need to win the game.
Our prediction: Real Madrid 0-0 Chelsea (7/1 at bet365)
