Romelu Lukaku has already sent Chelsea 'best in the world' warning ahead of Real Madrid clash

Romelu Lukaku has previously described Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema as the best frontman in world football, with Chelsea set to meet the Frenchman's side in the Champions League tonight.

Chelsea face off with Los Blancos for a place in the first-leg of their quarter-final this evening, with Thomas Tuchel's men looking to bounce back from a 4-1 drubbing by Brentford at Stamford Bridge. Having beaten Real Madrid in the competition last season, however, the Blues could hold a mental edge.

But Carlo Ancelotti will no doubt take confidence from the fact Chelsea shipped four goals against a side many tipped for relegation this season. With the likes of Benzema, Marco Asensio and Vinicius Jr leading his line, it is hard to imagine the Chelsea back-line will not be severely tested.
