Chelsea will be looking for a miraculous turnaround at the Santiago Bernabeu as they aim to overturn a two-goal deficit against a solid Real Madrid side. The Blues suffered a 3-1 defeat in the first-leg at Stamford Bridge which was not helped by their relatively inconsistent form beforehand but after the weekend, they have a slight chance.
Thomas Tuchel's side are 13/8 with Betfred to get a win at Madrid while the hosts are the slight favourites at 8/5. A win will not be enough for Chelsea to go through - they will need to win by at least three goals to progress to the next round and they are 4/1 to score over 2.5 goals in this match while a two-goal winning margin would put them into extra-time but the bookies have already priced Carlo Ancelotti's side as 1/10 heavy favourites to progress to the next round already.
Tuchel's side have responded well after last week's defeat at home with an impressive 6-0 win away at St Mary's Stadium against Southampton. The mid-table side suffered to the hands of Time and Mason Mount - who both scored braces during the weekend's Premier League fixtures.

However, they will need to put in an historic performance in Madrid if they are to maintain their defence as European Champions. Real Madrid have only lost to English clubs at home by a goal and Chelsea will need to find at least three goals - something which no English club has done since Manchester United in 1968.

But you cannot look any further than Karim Benzema after his displays at Stamford Bridge last week. His Champions League hat-trick in the first leg puts him three behind Robert Lewandowski in the all-time top scorer list in Europe's top club competition.
The Frenchman has certainly made his mark this season with 37 goals in all competitions, making it his best season not only for Real Madrid after 13 seasons but in his entire career. He has equalled his best La Liga tally of 24 goals with seven matches to go and has smashed his Champions League record of seven back in 2011/12 with 11 this season.
