The Spanish giants are in pole position to reach the semi-finals after the first leg. Will the Blues bounce back and come up with an epic comeback?

The do-or-die games in the UEFA Champions League Quarter finals begin on Tuesday, with Chelsea trying to overcome their 2-0 loss at the Bernabeu from last week. Los Merengues seem to have paved the way to reach another semi-final in the continental competition, but there are still some factors to be sorted out that could see Chelsea bouncing back.

It will be a tricky match to predict, as Chelsea have overcome some difficulties in their UCL run. Added to that, their perfect record in the tournament (three wins, one draw) may give their fans some reason to believe in a comeback. Regardless of what the numbers may tell them, it is true that Frank Lampard has struggled to hit the nail on its head when it comes to his tactics, and right now, watching Chelsea beat Real Madrid may take a miracle, but there have been dreamy stories at Stamford Bridge in the past, and the Blues will be looking for one of those this Tuesday.

On the other side of the pitch will be Real Madrid, the most-winning and experienced team in this tournament, and who have a strong legacy in this competition. Los Merengues may be out of the title race in La Liga, but their chances to win the UCL are intact, and reaching the semis could come for them even if they lost this match by a one-goal margin. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti has only lost one game away from home in this edition of the tournament, but they have never failed to score in four outings, which could help them reach the next round thanks to Chelsea's need to keep their net unscathed.

Here are some interesting facts to keep an eye on before this match kicks off.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid - Team news

The English team makes it to this clash in the worst possible moment, with no wins in their last six matches and after losing four of their last five fixtures across all competitions. To make things even worse, Frank Lampard's team has lost both his matches since he took over as caretaker, including a 2-1 loss to Brighton at Stamford Bridge. If the Blues want to turn things around, then they will need every ounce of the talent in Raheem Sterling's boots, as he is at the moment the team's top scorer in the tournament with three goals to his name.

As for the away side, Los Merengues return to Stamford Bridge with four wins in their last five matches, including a 4-0 win in El Clásico and with two consecutive two-nil wins, one against the Blues and another against Cádiz. Los Merengues have won four straigh UCL games, scoring 13 times and conceding only three goals in that run. If the team led by Carlo Ancelotti wants a smooth flow in this game, the duo formed by Karim Benzema and Vinicius will be the one to keep an eye on, as both footballers have combined for ten goals in the ongoing Champions League season.
