The Champions League is upon us and two European heavyweights go head to head as Chelsea face Real Madrid in the Quarter Final of the competition that now has the remaining teams believing they can lift the trophy.

Real Madrid managed to turn things around in the second leg of their last 16 match against Paris Saint-Germain and picked up an emphatic win, whilst Chelsea overcame Lille to reach the last eight.

With this game soon after an international break, form goes out the window, and it will be a tremendous game in the first leg in London.

The draw already revealed that the winner of the tie would face either Atletico Madrid or Manchester City in the semi-finals, and this is an exciting spectacle no matter who goes through.
