Todd Boehly has the fixture he craved as Chelsea ready themselves for a post-international break clash with Real Madrid. It's the champions of Europe past and present colliding over two legs on the biggest stage.
When it comes to the clubs with the largest revenue and the biggest history, there are none bigger than the supergiants from Spain. Outside of England - and Manchester's blue cordon - no team generated more income in 2022 than Madrid. While doing that, they won the biggest prize in club football again.
It's the level of authority and superiority that Boehly and Co want to reach at SW6. On-pitch gladiators and off-field money-making pioneers. Never before have they had this sort of chance to inspect the best example of what they want to become.
