Real Madrid host Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal on April 12. Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping for a win as Real Madrid look to win their second Champions League in a row.

Speaking about the clash against the London-based side, Ancelotti stated: “It’s a different way of thinking to the other Champions League ties we’ve played in the past. We must take advantage of playing the first game at home to get ahead for the decider, which is the second leg. The team has always done well at home and away, except against PSG last year.”

He further emphasized on his team’s tactical approach, stating, “We will look to play a well-rounded game, defend well, better than against Villarreal on Saturday, and attack if possible like we did at the Camp Nou in the second leg of the Cup semi-final.”

This will be the third straight time when the two European giants will clash against each other in the Champions League. Intriguingly, the one team that defeated the other in the last two editions of the UCL, went on to become the Champions of Europe.
