Real Madrid will host Chelsea at 21:00 CEST at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final this evening as strong favourites. That is expected to be reflected in Carlo Ancelotti’s selection.
Ahead of the game, Ancelotti admitted that he may well use the same line-up as he did in El Clasico last week, that beat Barcelona 4-0. Diario AS predict he will do so, including Rodrygo Goes on the right wing, Fede Valverde in midfield and Eduardo Camavinga at left-back. It would mean that Nacho Fernandez would miss out.
Marca are in agreement with their colleagues, who predict the same line-up. Ferland Mendy is their only player missing through injury, and David Alaba will start alongside Eder Militao ahead of Antonio Rudiger who faces a reunion with his former club.
For Chelsea, the biggest injury doubt it Mason Mount, with most predicting he will not start. On-loan Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix is set to start, in a front three with Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling. Thiago Silva, Armando Broja and Cesar Azpilicueta are all missing through injury.

THIS IS FOOTBALL AND ITS UNPREDITABLE GAME. CHELSEA IS CLEARLY UNDERDOG HERE AND THERE LIES THE DANGER. WE ARE STILL THE BLUES OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. WE CAUSE HAVOC WHEN LEAST EXPECTED.

Chelsea has no chance to make a difference, Potter idiotic Mistake would still hunt them . Remember Auba , Badashile are not registered to play Champions league .

This is the best line up if Chelsea wants to male a statement. Speed with the wing , sterling can cause a lot for carvajal, Reece & fofana to keep Vinicuis busy , thiago Silva brings his experience & leadership .
