Real Madrid have released their squad to take on Chelsea in the first-leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday evening. The 13-time winners of the competition will be looking to get revenge on the Blues after last season's semi-final.

Los Blancos' squad is as follows: Courtois, Lunin, Fuidias; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho, Marcelo, Mendy; Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Vazquez, Ceballos, Camavinga; Bale, Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mariano.

However, Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly a doubt for Wednesday's match in London, with the former Chelsea boss still hampered by Covid-19. Ancelotti is said to be fine, but he is still returning positive tests, meaning he could be absent for the first-leg at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be looking to take one step closer to retaining their European crown after the club won it for the second time in its history last season. Thomas Tuchel, though, knows all too well about the threat Real Madrid pose.

Speaking once the draw was confirmed last month, the Chelsea boss said this: "It's a tough draw. A challenge cannot be much higher than playing at the Santiago Bernabeu with spectators."

Chelsea will have confidence going into the tie, though, after the Blues beat Los Blancos 3-1 - on aggregate - in the semi-finals of the Champions
