Chelsea host Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
The teams renewed their hostilities at Stamford Bridge with Los Blancos emerging 2-0 from their Bernabeu showdown and Frank Lampard's homecoming did little to stop the Blues. However, the under-performing Blues were played away at Brighton & Hove Albion Park in Saturday's Premier League clash - conceding 70% possession to the surging Seagulls at one point - and Conor Gallagher's deflected strike was canceled out by Danny Welbeck's header and Julio Nziso. Rocket.
According to Lampard, Chelsea were flattered by the 2-1 scoreline as the interim Blues boss admitted his side were lucky not to lose more, and the 44-year-old now owns an ugly record of three defeats in three matches. Todd Boehly cut a dejected look as Lampard's dream return turned into a nightmare as he was given an earful from the Stamford Bridge faithful. Leicester are on a six-match winless run under Graham Potter after beating City 3-1. Dortmund at Stamford Bridge will progress to the last eight. The west London giants have advanced from five of their last seven Champions League ties, in which they lost the first leg away from home, but have not won any of their last four Stamford Bridge games after seeing off BVB, historic omens. Lampard's side will be in vain if they don't find their best shooting boots quickly. Real's bit-part winger Asensio, on the verge of a contract renewal, turned in another fine contribution to Los Blancos' trip to Cádiz at the weekend, after drilling in his side's second goal against Chelsea.
Patience is the name of the game for the La Liga champions as Ancelotti understands the changes to Saturday evening's clash with the underdogs, but Nacho Fernandez's strike preceded another Asensio effort to revive their fanciful hopes of domestic glory. A return to winning ways in the top flight has allowed Real Madrid to close the gap on Barcelona to 10 points, but La Blaugrana have a chance to respond against Getafe on Sunday and Ancelotti's men would be forgiven for prioritizing continental glory on its home straight as the season draws to a close. Real Madrid, who have won the first leg by at least two clear goals in their 19 Champions League knockout ties, have advanced from 18 of them - falling only to runners-up Monaco in 2003-04 - and still Los Blancos. After a 5-5 draw, the away goals came courtesy of the now-abolished away goals rule.
With a sixth consecutive Champions League knockout victory, Real Madrid will set a new continental record, having been the bread and butter of the 14-time European champions, and their visit to Stamford Bridge 12 months ago ended in a 1-3 victory - revenge. Lost 2-0 to Chelsea in the 2020-21 semi-finals. Real Madrid won 2-0 against Cadiz in the Spanish league despite resting several first-choice players ahead of their trip to London to face Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Nacho Fernandez and Marco Asensio scored in the 72nd and 76th minutes, but Karim Benzema had already hit the woodwork twice as Cadiz held on to backup David Gill's goalkeeping skills before the break. The win left Madrid 10 points behind Spanish league leaders Barcelona, who visit Getafe on Sunday.
Madrid visit Stamford Bridge on Tuesday after taking a 2-0 lead against Frank Lampard's side in Spain. "David Gil played a great game and Nachoc had to give it to us," Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said. "We could have scored more goals but hopefully we will save them for Tuesday." Coach Carlo Ancelotti completed his Spanish league title defense by rotating his squad once again after his side lost 2-1 to Barcelona last month.
