Real Madrid pose a different threat this time around for Chelsea in the Champions League
Despite Chelsea fans' buoyant mood in being drawn against Los Blancos for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they will be aware of the different threat poised by Carlo Ancelotti's side this year.
Madrid's incredible comeback victory over PSG in
the Round of 16 caught the eye of many, with
Karim Benzema leading them to a 3-2 victory
over the Ligue 1 side.
The La Liga leaders are a different proposition to that of last year's Madrid side, who were underperforming in their domestic league. They have flourished this year and Ancelotti has blended the experienced side of the squad with youthful energy and exuberance.

Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo are extremely dangerous
on the wings with the ever-reliable Luka Modric
and Toni Kroos still controlling games from the
middle of the park.
Benzema, however, is the man of the moment and his scintillating hat-trick against PSG in the previous round is one of the most impressive performances by any striker in recent memory. The Frenchman carried his side through when the chips were down and it seemed the thirteen-time Champions League winners were out.
Chelsea will however have last year's victory over the La Liga leaders to go to in their analysis of overcoming a red-hot in-form Madrid side. They defensively nullified Benzema for much of their semi-final encounter and their own attacking crop will know that the Los Blancos defense can get got at.
Thomas Tuchel will look to his squad knowing that they perhaps possess more depth than that of Real Madrid. The Stamford Bridge outfit's last game featured a substitutes bench consisting of Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.
All three, despite somewhat having underperformed in their time with the Blues, have proven European pedigree. Chelsea versus Real Madrid promises to be a tantalizing affair and fans of the west London side are in a confident mood following the draw.
