Real Madrid will have the opportunity to take revenge on Chelsea for the elimination of last season in the semifinals of the Champions League, where in the end the title was won by the English. The draw was repeated this year, although it will be in the quarterfinals.
A tough match against the reigning champions, something that does not scare the whites given their background with good results against the champions.
Real Madrid is a specialist in eliminating the current champions – or defending champions, all the more so as this is the format of the Champions League.
Four times when Real Madrid met the reigning champions, they not only eliminated them, but then won the title. It should be noted that Real Madrid also played with Ajax in the 1995-96 season (where they lost twice, but in the group stage).
The first of this series was when they eliminated Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals, where in the first match they won 2-0, while the second ended 0-0 in Germany.
Then it was Manchester United’s turn in the quarter-finals with a 2-3 win at Old Trafford, and then it happened twice against Bayern Munich.
The history of Real Madrid is written in the qualifiers, this time against Chelsea, they have a new opportunity to maintain their good statistics every time they have played with the current champions.
