Gary Neville and Michael Owen in agreement over outcome of Chelsea's clash with Real Madrid

Chelsea have plenty of work to do in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid tonight. While a 6-0 thrashing of Southampton has given many confidence, both Gary Neville and Michael Owen think the task in Spain will prove too much for the Blues.

Saturday's emphatic result was a much-needed one after Thomas Tuchel's side had lost twice in a row. Last weekend saw Brentford come away from Stamford Bridge with a 4-1 win before Real Madrid also won comfortably in west London, a Karim Benzema hat-trick helping them to a 3-1 victory.

Having won last season's tournament, the Blues will not have given up hope of overturning the deficit. But there is no doubting that a mammoth task lies ahead, with Madrid notoriously ruthless in the knock-out stages over recent years.
