Carlo Ancelotti warns his Real Madrid side that Chelsea will see their Champions League tie as a 'great opportunity' to turn their season around, as Eder Militao insists his team want to 'suffer less' at Stamford Bridge

Carlo Ancelotti warned that Chelsea will see their Champions League quarter-final second-leg meeting against his Real Madrid side as a 'great opportunity' to turn a disappointing season around.

European champions Real lead 2-0 from last week's first leg at the Bernabeu after a dominant display against Frank Lampard's side, who played the final 30 minutes with 10 men and were outclassed.

Victory would see Ancelotti's team move a step closer to retaining the trophy they won for the 14th time last season, when they knocked out the Blues in the last-eight after a thrilling tie that saw Chelsea fight back from two goals down and still lose.
