Thibaut Courtois is hoping to avoid the boos of the Chelsea fans as he returns to Stamford Bridge with Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Los Blancos are eyeing a 14th European triumph this term after being knocked out in the semi-finals last season. It was Chelsea who ended their Champions League dream and they have again been drawn against the defending champions, who will host the first leg.
Madrid will travel to west London having lost 2-0 there on their last visit, but no fans were in attendance as stadiums remained empty due to the pandemic. Courtois spent four years as Chelsea No. 1 before he returned to Spain in 2018 and will head back to his old home hoping to avoid the jeers of the Blues fans.
