Champions League, Real Madrid vs Chelsea in the quarter finals,   Real Madrid vs Chelsea, football news,

The Champions League has been reduced to eight teams as the remaining teams' quarter-final fates were sealed in Friday's draw at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Defending champions Real Madrid will face another English club, Chelsea, after comfortably beating Liverpool in the previous round. Real Madrid will be the favorites for this match, given Chelsea's struggles this season, but Graham Potter's side can finally turn things around by making it three wins in a row for the second time this season.

Chelsea came back impressively from a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Borussia Dortmund to reach the quarter-finals thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz. London scored the winning goal in the final against Manchester City two years ago. However, Real Madrid will be confident of reaching the semi-finals again after beating Liverpool 5-2 in the first leg of their last-16 tie at Anfield.

It was a historic result - Liverpool's biggest at home in Europe - as Real Madrid beat Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabeu thanks to a goal from Karim Benzema, taking the Frenchman's Champions League haul to 89. The Real forward has scored a staggering 13 goals in his last eight knockout games, making him the most feared marksman in Europe as the Spanish club continue their quest for a 15th European Cup.

Manchester City’s quest

He may never love Julia Roberts, but Guardiola is hoping to finally win his first Champions League title without Lionel Messi this year. When the pair joined Barcelona, ​​the Spanish club won the Champions League twice. The Spaniard came close to leading City to the club's first European Cup two years ago, losing to Chelsea in the final in Porto, Portugal.
However, City have one major difference this season: Erling Haaland. The Norwegian scored a stunning five goals in his side's win over RB Leipzig and continued to cement his status as the world's best striker.

Standing in the way is Bayern Munich, a team that has struggled even in the Bundesliga this season and only recently managed to open a two-point gap at the top of the table. Despite the uneven state of the German army, they still defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Two rounds are very safe. A team with talents like Muller, Mane and Davies will always be a threat.

Perhaps the most exciting side in Europe this season is Napoli, who are 18 points clear of their first Serie A title since 1990. Led by star forward Victor Osimhen, the team is a force to be reckoned with in Europe as well.

Luciano Spalletti's side beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0 on aggregate in the last 16, and their defensive solidity and attacking prowess have been convincing for opponents this season. "Napoli" could also be sure of the superiority of "AC Milan", which is currently 20 points away in Serie A and was only defeated 1-0 in the previous round against Tottenham Hotspur.

The final two teams in the draw are Benfica and Inter Milan, both of whom are confident of reaching the semi-finals. Inter progressed against Porto thanks to Romelu Lukaku's late goal in the first leg, while Benfica beat Club Brugge 7-1.

The draw was originally for Inter Milan's first home tie, but as the two clubs share the San Siro stadium, AC Milan was swapped after the home tie with Napoli.
