Match Facts |

He was one of the last two winners of Europe's most prestigious football prize, Lock Horns, to win the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Carlo Ancelotti reunites with his former club after overseeing a 6-2 aggregate victory over Liverpool in the last 16, while the Blues beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1. Amid talk of a shock return to the Stamford Bridge dugout as the Blues search high and low for a new permanent head coach, Wily Real Madrid manager Ancelotti has a Fab Five in his sights as he looks to add to his glittering continental trophy haul. The four-time Champions League winning manager showed no signs of panic when Liverpool took a 2-0 lead at Anfield and Los Blancos left Anfield to the shock of the Anfield crowd. A slim 1-0 win at the Bernabeu got the job done with little fanfare.
If the 2022-23 season proves to be Ancelotti's farewell campaign in the Blancos dugout, it will take a miracle for the Italian to leave on the back of another La Liga and Champions League double with a 3-2 defeat to Villarreal at the weekend. A win over Girona on Monday night handed Barcelona the chance to go top with 15 points. Real Madrid - who will face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final - have made Champions League title number 15 their priority as they aim to avoid an English side as their Catalan rivals continue to slide into the sunset. 4th consecutive knockout tie. Real have failed to score in a Champions League home match since a stunning 3-0 loss to CSKA Moscow in December 2018 and have won each of their last five European matches at the Bernabeu, but no prizes for guessing who. Los Blancos suffered their last continental loss in front of a sea of white shirts. Frank Lampard's second managerial baptism was expected to take place at the Bernabeu rather than Molineux, but a toothless Chelsea side had no new managerial bounce on Saturday as Wolverhampton Wanderers spoiled their English Premier League homecoming.
Matthews Nunes came up with a goal that Lampard would have been proud to have scored himself - giving Julen Lopetegui's side a 1-0 win - firing a blistering half-volley across the face of goal. Let an imaginary Champions League charge ignite Just weeks before his inevitable sacking, Graham Potter produced one of Chelsea's best performances of his short tenure against Karim Adeyemi-less Dortmund in a deserved 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of their last-16 tie. Draw after taking a narrow first leg advantage in Germany.
The 2022-23 season will see Chelsea reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the third time in a row, and the Blues have not lost to the reigning champions since falling to the swords of Porto in 2004-05 - both wins. Four draws for the longest unbeaten streak against the European Cup holders. Last year the fans were treated to a blockbuster quarter-final between Real Madrid and Chelsea, where a 3-2 Bernabeu victory was futile for the Blues as Real advanced 5-3 to end the West London club's title defence. A similar revenge mission will begin exactly 365 days after Lampard and his team won the Spanish capital. Ferland Mendy is the only Real Madrid player without injury, which is good news for Ancelotti.
He also rested a number of players at the weekend against Villarreal, including Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Eder Militao and Eduardo Camavinga. They could all be in line to start here.
Mason Mount is back from suspension, but an injury problem means he is a doubt anyway. Armando Broja, Thiago Silva and Cesar Azpilicueta are all out, while Benoit Badiachil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Noni Maduke and David Datro Fofana are all absent from Chelsea's Champions League squad. They face Real Madrid and Frank Lampard will return to the club in an interim role. He has overseen just one match so far, a 1-0 defeat against Wolves in the Premier League, meaning Real Madrid are definite favourites. It's no secret that Carlo Ancelotti's side seem to be finding a new level in the Champions League, but their recent 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey was also a huge statement.
