Why It Matters
The young Blues are looking to replicate the success of the 2018 quarter-final encounter between the two teams, which is remembered as a classic. Chelsea, who won the competition in 2015 and 2016, progressed from their group comfortably and defeated Feyenoord 5-2 in the Round of 16. Real Madrid also advanced by overcoming Bayern Munich at the same stage.

Head coach Harry Hudson will lead his team into this crucial match, hoping to build on their previous successes. The outcome of this single-legged Round of 16 tie could significantly impact the team’s morale and future in the tournament.
