Champions League holders Real Madrid will endeavour to rubber-stamp a place in the semi-finals when they meet Chelsea in the second leg of their quarter-final at Stamford Bridge.
Los Blancos will take a 2-0 lead to the English capital from the first leg, where Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio struck either side of the half-time whistle.
Carlo Ancelotti's side kept their fleeting hopes of La Liga glory alive with an identical win over Cadiz at the weekend, where Asensio was again on target alongside Nacho Fernandez.
