Is Real Madrid vs Chelsea on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Champions League quarter-final

PA

Real Madrid are aiming to end Chelsea’s defence of their Champions League crown as they host the quarter-final second leg.

A superb hat-trick from Karim Benzema puts Carlo Ancelotti’s side firmly in control of the tie after the first 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

Thomas Tuchel and his team travel to the Bernabeu 3-1 down, and with only slim hopes of a last four place.

Chelsea did flex their forward scoring might in a 6-0 thrashing of Southampton in league action, but are unlikely to find Real Madrid quite so accomodating with a semi-final place on the line.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the second leg.

When and where is it?

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Real Madrid and Chelsea is due to kick-off at 8pm BST on Tuesday 12 April at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid.

How can I watch?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch Real Madrid vs Chelsea on BT Sport 2, with coverage starting at 7pm BST. Subscribers can stream the game via the BT Sport app or online player.

Confirmed line-ups

Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius.

Chelsea XI: Mendy; James, Silva, Rudiger, Alonso; Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Kovacic; Mount, Havertz, Werner

Odds

Real Madrid win 19/13

Draw 13/5

Chelsea win 2/1

Prediction

Chelsea will be hopeful that they can get at the Real Madrid defence more readily than at Stamford Bridge, and should be able to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side a fright - but the home side are in a position of such strength and a semi-final berth should be theirs. Real Madrid 1-1 Chelsea (4-2 agg.)
