It's a replay of last season's Champions League semi-final as defending European champions Chelsea welcome 13-time winners Real Madrid to Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the pick of the 2021/22 last eight ties. Also returning to familiar surroundings is Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti, who who won a league-and-cup double during a two-season west London spell from 2009. This one promises fireworks. Full Chelsea vs Real Madrid live stream details below.
The soap opera that is Chelsea Football Club continues creating headlines. Saturday's unexpected 4-1 home defeat to Brentford brought to an end the Blues' five-game winning streak in the Premier League and should inspire Thomas Tuchel's men to up their game against a Spanish side they have never lost to in five previous meetings. Tuchel must decide whether to stick with misfiring frontman Romelu Lukaku.
Twelve points clear at the top of La Liga, Real Madrid are cantering to a 35th domestic crown but their 4-0 defeat to bitter Clasico rivals Barcelona in late-March is proof los Blancos have a soft underbelly if opponents can find a way to scratch it. You could even argue Ancelotti's side are lucky to be in the last eight at all.
Madrid were led a merry dance by Kylian Mbappe for three-quarters of the previous round, only for Paris Saint-Germain's traditional springtime Champions League defenestration (and Karim Benzema's 17-minute hat-trick) to gift the Spaniards a scarcely deserved comeback. Eden Hazard is back in the treatment room, while boss Ancelotti is recovering from Covid but may make the trip.
It's an 8pm BST kick-off at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday 6th April, 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Chelsea vs Real Madrid live stream wherever you are in the world.
Chelsea's 4-1 home defeat to Brentford was a shocker, but it didn't come entirely out of the blue. Thomas Tuchel's men have been winning without playing well for some time now, and Saturday's humbling could serve as a timely wake-up call. The return of Reece James for the clash with Madrid will be a major boost. The right-back has been Chelsea's key attacking threat all season.
While Lukaku and Werner have been lukewarm this season, one striker who's in the form of his life is Karim Benzema. The Frenchman scored a remarkable 17-minute hat-trick to send PSG crashing out of the tournament in the last round. With 24 goals so far, he's La Liga's top scorer.
