When the Champions League semifinals kick off, Real Madrid will hope to continue recent trends and buck historical ones.
The one Los Blancos want to continue is their besting of Premier League competition, as they easily dispatched of Liverpool in the quarterfinals to earn their spot in the semis. The trend Madrid will want to buck is its history against Chelsea.
The Blues are next up for Madrid, with the first leg set for Tuesday in Spain, and the Londoners will head into that match with the knowledge that they've never lost a competitive match against the winningest club in Champions League history. Madrid and Chelsea have faced off three times, with the Premier League club claiming two wins and a draw in those matches — the most recent of which was played way back in 1998.
Of course, decades-old history isn't everything when it comes to matches played in 2021, but until a ball is kicked on Tuesday, it's all we've got.
Here's everything you need to know about Tuesday's first leg:
