Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti lent his support to Chelsea's interim manager Frank Lampard and said he was sad to see the Blues struggle this season, ahead of their Champions League quarter-final clash on Wednesday.

Ancelotti, who guided Chelsea to the Premier League and FA Cup double in 2009-10, faces his former player Frank Lampard at the Santiago Bernabeu after the Englishman was appointed Chelsea's interim manager.

Chelsea have dropped to 11th in the Premier League after a run of poor results, and have also been knocked out of the FA Cup and League Cup.

This despite spending well over $300 million on new players in January. Now, the Champions League is the English club's last chance for silverware this season.
