Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is guaranteed a warm welcome at Chelsea after winning the Premier League and FA Cup double in the first of two seasons at Stamford Bridge.

And the hugely popular Italian has been posing for photographs with fans pitchside having flown into London today having tested negative after suffering from Covid 19.

Just think. Had things worked out differently, very differently, Carlo's attentions might have been on the relegation clash between Burnley and Everton at Turf Moor rather than here in the Champions League quarter-final.

Yes, two big games in the Champions League quarter-final after Liverpool and Manchester City kicked off the last eight with wins last night in their respective first legs.

Tonight it's the turn of Chelsea and Real Madrid and Villarreal and Bayern Munich, with both getting under way at 20:00 BST.

We'll keep you up to date throughout with both our live text and radio coverage.

Another huge evening of football is on its way.

It's the reigning European champions welcoming the 13-time winners at Stamford Bridge, while in Spain underdogs Villarreal host German giants Bayern Munich.

It doesn't get much better than Champions League nights under the lights.
