The previous two Champions League winners will meet each other in the replay of the last season’s quarterfinal tie exactly one year later.
Current holders Real Madrid will host Chelsea in the first leg of their quarterfinal tie on Wednesday evening at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Both teams will put the entire focus to the Champions League success following their wobbly domestic league campaigns.
Los Blancos officially have up the title quest in La Liga on Saturday evening by falling 2-3 at home to Villarreal.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men thus left Barcelona with a chance to further increase their double-digit gap at the top of the league standings.
Nevertheless, we must not forget that Real Madrid have annihilated their bitter Spanish rivals in the rematch of the Copa del Rey semifinal last week as a 0-4 drubbing of Barcelona at Spotify Camp Nou has booked Madrid’s final against Osasuna in May.
While Madrid will at least be in contention for the cup trophy, Chelsea are not anywhere near the title battle in England.
The Blues are out of all domestic cup competition and they have just dropped out of the top half of the Premier League standings after failing to find the back of the net in three consecutive league outings.

白衣军团在周六晚上主场2-3不敌比利亚雷亚尔，正式向西甲冠军发起挑战。
安切洛蒂的球员们给巴萨留下了一个机会，进一步扩大他们在联赛积分榜上两位数的差距。
然而，我们不能忘记，在上周的国王杯半决赛重赛中，皇马已经消灭了他们的西班牙死敌，在诺坎普球场以0-4击败巴塞罗那，这意味着马德里将在5月对阵奥萨苏纳的决赛。
虽然马德里至少有资格争夺足总杯，但切尔西在英格兰的冠军争夺战中却遥遥领先。
蓝军已经无缘所有的国内杯赛，在连续三场联赛都未能破门后，他们刚刚跌出了英超积分榜的上半区。
