LIVE: Chelsea Battles Real Madrid for Spot in Champions League Final

Chelsea and Real Madrid meet at Stamford Bridge in a Champions League semifinal matchup of European heavyweights looking to book a ticket to the final in Istanbul.

While Real has become a fixture of the Champions League final with four UCL titles in the last seven seasons, Chelsea will be seeking its third final appearance since 2008.

In the first leg in Madrid, Christian Pulisic became the first American to score in a Champions League semifinal, but his goal was cancelled out by Karim Benzema's 29th minute equalizer.

Real won't have defenders Raphaël Varane and Dani Carvajal available in London after the duo picked up injuries in the first leg, but Sergio Ramos returns to captain the side.
