Real Madrid attacking duo Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior may have given Crystal Palace and Patrick Vieira a blueprint to shocking Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea in their upcoming semi-final clash.
Both teams come into this London derby on the back of disappointing results. Chelsea despite valiantly battling in the Santiago Bernabeu in their quest to overturn their first-leg deficit against Carlo Ancelotti's side, fell just short. Meanwhile, whilst also having more time to recover than the Blues, Vieira's side needs a response from their 3-1 loss against Leicester City in the Premier League last weekend.
"We are very disappointed and very proud at the same time. We played a fantastic match and deserved what we had. We scored four goals and had big chances to score even more. We were unlucky, that's why we are disappointed. We got beaten by pure individual quality and offensive conversion after our mistakes," Tuchel said in his post-match press conference on Tuesday.
