The UEFA Champions League: Wednesday’s Matches, Fixtures, And Predictions
Below are UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MARCHES, FIXTURES AND PREDICTIONS.
Chelsea vs Real Madrid
Chelsea will face Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
Chelsea is coming off a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Thomas Frank’s Brentford in the English Premier League.

Chelsea’s consolation goal was scored by German centre-back Antonio Rudiger.

In La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo’s Eduardo Coudet’s side 2-1. Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid won thanks to a brace from seasoned French striker Karim Benzema. Celta Vigo’s consolation goal was scored by Nolito, a former Manchester City and Sevilla attacker.
Chelsea is dealing with a lot of issues at the moment, and the loss to Brentford isn’t helping matters. They will be among the favorites to retain the Champions League crown due to their quality and depth.
Real Madrid, on the other side, won the last round against Paris Saint-Germain. Karim Benzema has often made the difference for Los Blancos this season, and Carlo Ancelotti’s team looks a different side without him leading the line.
Real Madrid predicted XI
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Kroos, Casemiro; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius.
Chelsea predicted XI
Mendy; Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Kovacic, Marcos Alonso; Mount, Ziyech; Havertz
Villarreal vs Bayern Munich
Villarreal stunned Juventus in the last round of the Champions League, but the stakes don’t get much higher than a quarter-final match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
