The UEFA Champions League returns today as La Liga titleholders Real Madrid host Premier League titans Chelsea in this semi-final clash. Don't miss a moment with our Real Madrid vs Chelsea live stream guide.
After dispatching Liverpool in the quarter-finals, Real Madrid will be hoping to claim the scalp of another one of England's Champions League hopefuls at the final-four stage.
In the last round, Real Madrid used a home first-leg to their advantage, notching a 3-1 win and then travelling to Liverpool and holding out for a 0-0 draw in order to earn a clash with Chelsea. A repeat of those performances would no doubt please manager Zinedine Zidane.
For Chelsea, it was the opposite. The Blues travelled to Porto and won 2-0 in their first leg before losing at home in the return leg, though the 1-0 defeat was not enough for the Dragons to overturn the deficit.
Los Blancos will be brimming with confidence coming into today's game on a 17-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, though two draws in their last three games leave them two points adrift from local rivals Atlético Madrid in the La Liga table.
On home turf, Chelsea just earned themselves a spot in the FA Cup final after defeating favorites Man City and are in a hotly-contest chase for a Champions League qualification spot at the top of the Premier League.
With two of Europe's top sides going toe-to-toe, and the backdrop of the widely-condemned European Super League concerning both sides, it's set to be an entertaining affair.
