Chelsea looking to end 12-game Real Madrid streak versus English clubs

Chelsea will attempt to end a 12-match streak which has been put together by Real Madrid when the two teams meet at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.

During the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie at Stamford Bridge last week, Real took full control, prevailing by a 3-1 scoreline courtesy of Karim Benzema's hat-trick.

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has been outspoken with regards to writing off his team's chances, claiming that progression to the last four is "very unlikely".

The statistics suggest that the German may have a point with Real having never suffered a home defeat to an English club in this competition by more than one goal.

On those occasions the Spanish giants have not conceded more than two goals, with that being Chelsea's minimum requirement during the fixture at the Bernabeu.

The only time that the Blues have scored more than two goals on away territory in a Champions League knockout tie came at Liverpool in 2009, the West Londoners prevailing 3-1 on that occasion.
