It's a finely-ready tie between different sides with genuine European family and few are better-put to remark on it that Marcos Alonso. The Spanish left-back, at present away at Las Rozas with La Roja in front of the global break, gave a meeting to Diario AS and addressed Chelsea's possibilities against Madrid.

"I knew even before that tie that Madrid was a hazardous group," Alonso said. "As predominant as PSG were for quite a bit of that tie, you can never leave Madrid for dead. Obviously, it's generally challenging to confront Real Madrid whenever, particularly in the Champions League.

"However, we've proactively shown what we're able to do the year before. It's an alternate year now and an alternate second, however two incredible groups are confronting one another and we will give everything to arrive at the semi-last. I don't think there is a number one. Now, whichever group you face will be confounded. This will be a delightful and troublesome tie without a doubt."

Chelsea are at present third in the Premier League, ten focuses behind second-set Liverpool and eleven shy of association pioneers Manchester City. They're five focuses clear of Arsenal, who are as of now in fifth, and beat Lille to come to the last eight.

Madrid are at present top of La Liga, nine focuses clear of second-set Sevilla and 12 in front of third-set Barcelona, who beat them 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday evening. They'll expect to return to winning ways after the global break.
