Chelsea vs Real Madrid LIVE: Stream free, score, TV channel, team news and start time Champions

GOOD EVENING

Welcome to Stamford Bridge for our live coverage of the Champions League semi-final, second leg, between Chelsea and Real Madrid. Manchester City have made it to Istanbul – but who will join them?

The Premier League club have the psychological edge having dominated the Spaniards eight days ago, and boast an away goal that could prove pivotal in determining an all-English final.

Last week’s 1-1 draw at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano means a clean sheet for the Londoners this evening would propel them into their third Champions League final, and the signs are good.

Since taking charge of the Blues, Thomas Tuchel has seen his side keep the opposition out in ten of their 12 home games, while they have conceded just one goal – scored by Karim Benzema in the first leg – in their last five matches.

However, standing in their way tonight are Real Madrid, a club with a glorious history in this competition and a habit of always finding a way.

The 13-times winners may not currently be a dominant force, but Zinedine Zidane still has Los Blancos fighting for silverware on two fronts this season despite their detractors.

Two late goals against Osasuna on Saturday kept them on course in the race for the La Liga title – leaving them a place and two points behind city rivals Atletico – and now they have captain Sergio Ramos back for the run-in.

The Real centre-back has timed his return from injury to perfection and is likely to make his first appearance since March in West London, especially given the news that Raphael Varane is expected to miss out.

Chelsea have been boosted by the recovery of a defender of their own with Antonio Rudiger available after a facial injury; Mateo Kovacic is the hosts’ only confirmed absentee.

This evening’s starting line-ups will be confirmed imminently before we bring you more build-up from the Bridge ahead of an 8pm kick-off.
