Benzema the difference
Turning attentions towards the upcoming Bernabeu clash itself, Chelsea’s stars will of course need all the help which they can get on Tuesday night.
This comes with Tuchel’s troops currently finding themselves in a two-goal hole on the back of last week’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg at Stamford Bridge.
A Karim Benzema clinic ultimately culminated in Real emerging on the right side of a 3-1 scoreline, leaving Chelsea with it all to do amid the club’s efforts to retain their crown as European football’s best.

Tuesday’s visitors, though, will of course see their chances of an upset boosted by the scrapping of the away goals rule in UEFA competition, which means that even a 2-0 victory in Madrid would be enough to send proceedings to extra-time.
