Breaking: Champions League quarter-final draw as Chelsea face Real Madrid

Defending champions Chelsea will face 13 times Champions Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea will be cautious of Real Madrid attacker Karim Benzema's threat.

Last season's semi-final saw Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea beat Real Madrid 2-0 at Stamford Bridge after a 1-1 draw in Spain.

Real, on the other hand, are in ominous form this season, dominating LaLiga by ten points and knocking out Paris Saint-Germain last week due to a magnificent hat-trick from Karim Benzema.

Manchester City have been drawn against Atletico Madrid in another exciting tie.

The other two games in the last eight see Liverpool come up against Portuguese side Benfica and Bayern Munich take on Europa League champions Villarreal.

The quarter-final first legs will be played April 5-6 with the return fixtures taking place April 12-13.


The first legs of the semi-finals will then be held April 26-27 and the second legs on May 3-4.
