Chelsea will need to be on top form and then some if they are to even come close to progressing past Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. With a 2-0 defecit heading into the second leg it is all to do for Frank Lampard and his team at Stamford Bridge.
Although Chelsea, and indeed Lampard, have history when it comes to unlikely, unexpected and improbable comebacks in the competition, this would surely top the lot should they oversee a dramatic turnaround. Whereas Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti are serial winners in Europe, Chelsea haven't won in their past five games.
Lampard himself has lost three out of three in caretaker charge with just one goal being scored. In the first leg his side were off the pace and were fortunate to escape with even a fighting chance of getting back into the tie. Here, they will have to do it without two of the starting defenders from the trip to Spain.
