It will be 855 days since Frank Lampard last stood in a Champions League dugout as Chelsea boss and his new team tasked with toppling Real Madrid is unrecognisable.
Lampard has a mountainous challenge to revive his goal-shy team against the European champions and a narrow defeat to Wolves on Saturday - albeit just days after he had taken charge - did little to boost confidence levels ahead of Wednesday's trip to the Bernabeu.
Thomas Tuchel credited Lampard for "laying the foundations" for European glory in 2021 as the German claimed the ultimate prize following the club legend's mid-season sacking.
