Madrid remains hopeful and focused. Ferland Mendy is sidelined with an injury, the only absent player named by Carlo Ancelotti, who trusts his squad to show unity on their home turf. The expected starters include Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde. Chelsea counters with Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, the exciting Mykhaylo Mudryk, Christian Pulisic, and Joao Felix now returning to his former club environment.

Carlo Ancelotti is anticipated to field the same XI that defeated Barcelona 4 0 in the prior week, with Rodrygo potentially keeping his place among the starting eleven.

They meet again after a year

Madrid and Chelsea have already crossed paths in the quarter finals from last season. The Whites advanced with a 3 1 victory in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, followed by a demanding 0 3 result in the return leg, enough to seal progression. Madrid would later eliminate Manchester City in dramatic fashion before overcoming Liverpool in the final to claim their 14th Champions League title.
