Real Madrid will be out to end their worst-ever winless run in European competition against a single opponent when they face Chelsea in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg at Stamford Bridge.
Carlo Ancelotti's side were seemingly down and out in the last-16 against Paris Saint-Germain but produced a phenomenal comeback in the second leg through Karim Benzema's hat-trick to make the quarters.
Chelsea and Real are familiar foes in the Champions League, with the Blues claiming a 1-1 draw at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano before winning 2-0 at home in the semi-finals last term.
Those two results extended Real's winless run against Chelsea to five matches, which represents Los Blancos' worst record against a single club in European competition.
Chelsea had previously beaten Real Madrid 1-0 in the 1998 UEFA Super Cup, and the London club also won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1971 over Real, with the first encounter ending 1-1 before the Blues won the final decider 2-1.
Real's hopes of ending that streak have already suffered a blow, with COVID-positive manager Ancelotti at risk of missing the first leg this week.
