Two of Europe's top soccer clubs are all knotted up heading into the second leg of their Champions League semifinal match.
Chelsea and Real Madrid played to a 1-1 draw at Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium in the opening leg of their semifinal meeting, giving the Premier League the home-field advantage at Stamford Bridge in Wednesday's meeting. But then, the La Liga team could still advance, even with a tie, as long as it scores more than one goal in the second meeting.

It will be worth watching whether Sergio Ramos will return to the lineup for Real Madrid, though manager Zinedine Zidane has refused to offer any information on whether he will play on Wednesday.
