Ronaldo's Old Trafford hat-trick, THAT slice of magic from Redondo and an Anfield humiliation... Real Madrid's Champions League clashes in England have been gripping - for better or worse - as they gear up for their semi-final showdown with Chelsea

Real Madrid return to England tonight to lock horns with Thomas Tuchle's resurgent Chelsea side in their Champions League final second leg.

The tie is tantalisingly poised; Chelsea have the upper hand with the away goal in the 1-1 draw from the first leg but Madrid have a three-time Champions League winning manager in Zinedine Zidane and players such as Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema who know what it takes to win Europe's elite club competition.

Ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge, Sportsmail reflects on some of the stand-out Champions League ties from recent years involving Real on these shores.
