Chelsea host Real Madrid in their crucial Champions League semi-final second leg TONIGHT as they look to join Manchester City in the final: Everything to know ahead of kick-off

Chelsea host Real Madrid in their crucial Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday night after earning a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Spain last week.

The Blues stamped their authority on proceedings early on at Madrid's Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium - where they played with the Santiago Bernabeu currently under renovation - with Christian Pulisic giving the visitors a 14th-minute lead.

However, against the run of play, Karim Benezma spectacularly volleyed home an equaliser to set up a mouth-watering encounter in London.

The eventual winner will go onto face Manchester City in May's final, after Pep Guardiola's side beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 at the Etihad on Tuesday to seal a 4-1 aggregate win and a place in the Champions League final for the first time.
