No changes for Real Madrid as Lampard rings changes in Chelsea line up
Real Madrid will be facing Chelsea on Tuesday night hoping to protect and build on from their 2-0 first-leg advantage at the Santiago Bernabeu last week.
Carlo Ancelotti has made no changes to that side whatsoever, meaning Aulerien Tchouameni remains on the bench, having started in the 2-0 win over Cadiz at the weekend.
Eduardo Camavinga, who started as left back last time out, has kept his place in the team.
Frank Lampard has decided to name a team featuring a four-man midfield, including Conor Gallager, who started the first leg on the bench. Marc Cucurella starts in the absence of Ben Chilwel, who was sent off for a tactical foul on Rodrygo.
Chelsea will be hoping Lampard’s decision will help them overturn the deficit and make the semi-finals.
Chelsea: Kepa, Fofana, Silva (c), Chalobah, James, Kovacic, Enzo, Kante, Cucurella, Gallagher, Havertz.
Replacements: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Hall, Chukwuemeka, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Zakaria, Mudryk, Pulisic, Sterling, Ziyech, Joao Felix.
