Real Madrid will face Chelsea this Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Here you can find out the lineups of both teams for this game. It will be broadcast in the United States on FuboTV (free trial) and Paramount + (free trial), and on DAZN in Canada.

Undoubtedly one of the most interesting series of the quarterfinals of this UEFA Champions League. A second game that will be very intense. Real Madrid are calmer since in the first leg game they won 3-1 with a great game from Karim Benzema. However, this is not an excuse to be overconfident, and they will have to close the series at home.

In the case of Chelsea, they know it will be very difficult as the 3-1 loss at Stamford Bridge forces them to win by two goals difference. In any case, the ā€œBluesā€ are the last champions of the Champions League and current world club champions, so they undoubtedly have the potential to win this series.
