Chelsea are likely to play the first leg in Madrid, before the second leg at Stamford Bridge is expected to be played without fans.

Ordinarily, Real would have hosted the second leg after being drawn as the second team. But UEFA are expected to reverse this tie to avoid a clash with Spanish champions Atletico, who were also drawn second.

Manchester City and Atletico will therefore play the first leg in England and the second leg in Spain.

Chelsea boast a remarkable record against Real, having never lost against them.

If Chelsea and City both progress then they will play each other in the semi-finals, with City hosting the first leg.

But if both of those English sides lose then the semi-finals will include a Madrid derby.

The other semi-final will be Benfica or Liverpool vs Villarreal or Bayern Munich.
