How to watch Real Madrid vs Chelsea: Champions League live stream and free audio

How to watch Real Madrid vs Chelsea: Champions League quarter-final live stream details are here as Real host Chelsea. Here’s how to watch and listen for free.

The winners of the last two Champions League tournaments meet again in the quarter-finals of this year’s competition with (in all likelihood) Manchester City in prospect in the semi-finals.

These teams famously met at the same stage of the 2022 tournament with Madrid emerging victorious in a quite extraordinary tie that set the Spaniards up for a record 14th European Cup win, eradicating Man City and Liverpool along the way.

It looks like Madrid will have to do the same this year, if they are to add to that tally, having already accounted for Liverpool in the last 16 last month and with potential semi-final opponents City winning 3-0 over Bayern Munich in the first leg last night.

Chelsea have Frank Lampard, who won the Champions League with Chelsea as a player, back in the manager’s seat following the sacking of Graham Potter. He’ll go up against his former boss Carlo Ancelotti who won the tournament as a manager and a player and has more winner’s medals than anyone else. Quite the managerial mismatch.

Madrid swatted Liverpool aside in the last round and Chelsea’s current state would suggest the King’s Club will have few problems here with the Blues. However, the Stamford Bridge side will be desperate to get a result to bring back to London for the second leg.
