It's a battle of two of soccer's elite clubs in this UEFA Champions League semifinal as Real Madrid and Chelsea face off. The two had a 1-1 draw in the first leg, giving Chelsea, who'll host at Stamford Bridge, a slight edge.
Despite these clubs' storied histories, this marks the first time they are facing off in Champions League play. They've met three times prior: the 1971 European Cup Winners' Cup final (one draw, one win by Chelsea) and a Super Cup match in 1998 won by Chelsea.
In the knockout stage, Chelsea has only allowed two goals — one to Porto and the goal last week to Real Madrid. Can the La Liga team punch a few more in? They may be getting captain Sergio Ramos back. He was ruled fit to play but manager Zinedine Zidane would not discuss whether he would slot in.
“I will not tell you now if he will play tomorrow. He is here with us and that means he is fine," he told reporters, adding he wouldn't risk injury if Ramos isn't truly ready. “That is most important, to have our leader and captain with us.”
Whoever walks off the pitch the winner on Wednesday will face Manchester City. Will it be an all-Premier League final for the 2021 UCL title? Or will the Spanish club, a 13-time UCL champ, get the chance to add another one.
