Chelsea will be looking to get one over Real Madrid yet again in the knock-out stage of the Champions League as they meet in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge, on Wednesday.

Thomas Tuchel's side had beaten the Spaniards 3-1 on aggregate in last year's semi-final and will be looking for a repeat performance. However, they are not in good form, going into this fixture, having been beaten 4-1 by Brentford in the Premier League over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Los Blancos' spectacular come-back against PSG in the last-16 stage was only dampened by their 4-0 Clasico defeat in La Liga since. They are coming off a 2-1 win over Celta Vigo in LaLiga.

Here's how to watch Chelsea vs Real Madrid in the 2021-22 Champions League from India.
