Overtaken in the league, Madrid and Londoners find themselves in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League and want to save their season thanks to the most prestigious of competitions.
Frank Lampard finds Carlo Ancelotti at Santiago Bernabeu, Wednesday April 12 at 9 p.m., in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League. Returning to Chelsea last week, the former legend begins his second term at the helm of the Blues. And for the occasion he will face the “Mister”, who coached him during his time at Stamford Bridge between 2009 and 2011.
Chelsea will have to show a completely different face than that displayed in the Premier League since the start of the season and last Saturday, a 1-0 defeat on the lawn of Wolverhampton, the 11th of the season. Real Madrid receive Chelsea without being fully sure of their strengths. Large winner of Barca in the Cup a week ago, carried by a great Karim Benzema, author of a hat-trick, the defending champion lost at home against Villarreal in the league (3-2). If he can forget the title of champion, the Madrid club can however dream of a second coronation of rank in the Champions League.
