Chelsea's dream Champions League quarter-final: Stop Haaland, Real Madrid chance, Tuchel revenge

Chelsea have once again secured their passage into the last eight of the Champions League. It's the third season in a row they have advanced this far, having failed to win a knockout round in the competition between 2014 and 2020. This is only the second time in the club's history they have achieved such a feat, too.

There are bigger plans than bowing out at this point as well, with Graham Potter looking to make himself the first ever English boss to get to the semi-finals of the competition in its current format. His young side are now daring to dream having overcome their first leg demons and also their goalscoring ones too.

On Wednesday night, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 on the night to go through 6-2 winners on aggregate, whilst Italian highflyers Napoli cruised into the last eight by knocking out Eintracht Frankfurt, 3-0 on the night and 5-0 over the two legs. The standard has been set by Manchester City though, with Erling Haaland powering in goals left, right and centre.
