Chelsea face a pair of games that could define their season as they face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Blues will be hopeful that their European adventure isn't stopped short of a third title as a much welcomed break from Premier League action.

I think there have been challenges this year and the Premier League is also one of the greatest challenges in world football.
