Real Madrid's chance to eliminate Chelsea thickened with Russia's war arrows
Real Madrid has a golden opportunity to avenge the "champion's holders" Chelsea, after the Champions League quarter-final draw put them in a heated confrontation for the second consecutive edition in the same tournament, after the two teams had met in the semi-finals last season.
Chelsea had defeated Real Madrid with a positive 1-1 draw in the first leg, and beat them at Stamford Bridge in the second leg with two clean goals in the second leg, so Eler qualified for the final match and later won the title over Manchester City.
Historically, Real Madrid did not face its rival Chelsea in the Champions League only last season, and the first leg of the quarter-final matches will be held on the fifth or the sixth of next April, and the second leg on the 12th of the first 13 of the same month.
Chelsea suffers from many crises due to the ban imposed on its owner Roman Abramovich, the Russian billionaire, whose financial assets were frozen in Britain and financial restrictions were imposed on the club, due to Abramovich’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched a war on Ukraine.
