CHELSEA face Real Madrid in a huge Champions League clash – but the Blues have it all to do.
Frank Lampard’s side lost 2-0 to Los Blancos in the first leg and were outplayed throughout as Ben Chilwell was sent off.
Vinicius was man of the match in Real Madrid’s win over Chelsea
Chelsea went 1-0 down in the first half through Karim Benzema
And since Lampard took over for his second stint as Chelsea boss, he’s also lost both of his league games against Wolves and Brighton.
Chelsea have already come from behind to knock Borussia Dortmund out of the competition earlier this season.
But Real Madrid are a different proposition, and even if Chelsea manage to grab two goals, it’ll be hard to keep Carlo Ancelotti‘s men from scoring themselves.
A win for Lampard’s men would rank as one of their greatest in the competition they’ve won twice, but it’ll be the tallest of orders at Stamford Bridge.
