Last week, Real Madrid stunned the Stamford Bridge crowd with a comprehensive 3-1 victory thanks to a hat-trick by Karim Benzema. Chelsea simply couldn't cope with the French star and head to the intimidating atmosphere of the Bernabeu with a massive task ahead of them.
Romelu Lukaku won't be among those players trying to overturn that two-goal advantage today, as he has an achilles injury. Given his form lately, that may not hurt Chelsea too much. However captain Cesar Azpilicueta is on the bench, having missed the weekend victory over Southampton due to Covid.
Chelsea won that game 6-0, so they have goals within them — and Timo Werner is one of the starters having starred against the Saints. But beating Real at home is a different matter of course. They can at least look to history for inspiration: they lost 3-1 to Napoli in the last 16 of last year's competition and went on to win 5-4 on aggregate.
Here's how they line up:
Chelsea: Mendy, James, Silva, Rudiger, Alonso, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Mount, Havertz, Werner.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy, Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Junior.
