Real Madrid vs Chelsea: TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch Champions League last 8
The final chance for Chelsea to save something from their season begins tonight when they travel to Real Madrid for a highly anticipated Champions League match.
Frank Lampard’s second tenure in charge of the club got off to a dismal start over the weekend with defeat to Wolves, but he vowed it will be “completely different” at the Bernabeu.
Due to the Premier League campaign being a write-off, Chelsea will need to demonstrate this in the first leg of the quarterfinal match. The Blues are hope a successful European run will improve their spirits.
Keep themselves in the match going back to Stamford Bridge is the top priority, but that won’t be simple against the champions-elect. Real easily defeated Liverpool in the last-16 and eliminated Chelsea at this point of the competition last year.

Real Madrid squad and team news
In the weekend’s loss to Villarreal, Carlo Ancelloti rested a number of his first-team talents; it seems likely that Luka Modric, Eder Militao, and Federico Valverde will all start against Chelsea.
Karim Benzema, who scored four goals against the Blues last season, was taken off after an hour to make sure he didn’t have any injury worries.
Real Madrid possible XI (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Modric, Camavinga, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius.
Chelsea squad and team news
Despite missing the trip to Molineux, Mason Mount and N’Golo Kante trained on Monday and are still in the running to play at the Bernabeu, which would be a significant win for Lampard.
Benoit Badiashile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Noni Madueke are all ineligible because they were not selected for the Blues’ Champions League roster, and Thiago Silva was also seen on the grass but is unlikely to be fit to play against Real.
