Chelsea will get to Stamford Bridge after drawing the first leg against Real Madrid, but their advantage may go beyond what happened in this game.
The Blues managed to escape Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium with a one-all draw, and they will host the second leg of this tie with the intention to keep an unbeaten run of four games against the Spanish giants. As of now, The Blues have won two of their four meetings with the 13-time UCL winners, and one more draw against them or a win could see them reach the 2020-21 final.

If you thought that this fact only had to do with the team, we regret to tell you that you'd be wrong, as Thomas Tuchel also has a similar record against the Spanish giants.
5 - Thomas Tuchel has faced Real Madrid more often without losing in the UEFA Champions League than against any other opponent (W1 D4) – in the competition's history, he is the only manager to face Los Blancos as many as five times without ever losing. Elite. #UCL pic.twitter.com/QQGvAdKci0

Be that as it may, Chelsea seem to have everything in their favor to beat Real Madrid. Will Los Blancos beat the odds and Chelsea for the first time in a UEFA Champions League tie?
