Real Madrid hand Chelsea major Champions League warning with Luka Modric and Vinicius Jr update

Real Madrid have sent Chelsea a big warning heading into the Champions League quarter-final second leg at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The reigning champions and serial competition winners head into the game with an already mountainous 2-0 lead.

For Chelsea, who have history in ties like this as well as pulling off the unexpected, their current nadir doesn't offer much room for optimism. The Blues are without a win in five matches, scoring just three times in those games. Take out penalties or goals massively deflected and that number is one in five.

It's 14 home games since Chelsea last scored three in a single 90 minutes, they'll need at least two if they are to get through here. Off the back of a string of poor and uninspiring performances, there is little hope of an upset occuring.
