Real Madrid 'are furious that Italian referee Daniele Orsato will take charge of their Champions League clash against Chelsea' after controversial past decisions... with Luka Modric calling him 'a DISASTER' following Croatia's World Cup exit

Real Madrid have reportedly been left in a state of anguish after Italian official Daniele Orsato was appointed to their Champions League quarter-final tie second leg against Chelsea.

The Spanish giants lead 2-0 on aggregate after a comfortable evening at the Bernabeu last week, with Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio scoring either side of a Ben Chilwell sending off.

With Chelsea having struggled for large periods of the game to lay a glove on last year's winners, extending their scoring drought to four games, few observers have given them a hope of overturning the deficit at Stamford Bridge.
