Man Utd are one behind on seven.We play at Real Madrid’s Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano for the first time. It will be the fourth new stadium we’ve played at this season with Krasnodar Stadium, Roazhon Park, Rennes and Seville’s Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan. We have never played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.Chelsea have only lost the first leg in one of our seven previous Champions League semi-finals, a 3-1 defeat to Monaco in 2003/04.

Since losing at Barcelona in March 2018, the defeat at Bayern Munich last season is our only one in 17 European away matches (13 wins, three draws). We have won all five of our away games this season.Chelsea have won our last three Champions League matches against Spanish opposition, all three coming this season – against Sevilla in the group stages and in both legs of the last 16 against Atletico Madrid.The Blues have won five of our 13 two-legged European knockout ties against Spanish clubs, Atletico Madrid in this season’s round of 16 the most recent. Five of our eight defeats have been against Barcelona.Thomas Tuchel has faced Real Madrid as a manager more often without losing in the Champions League than against any other opponent (one win, three draws).

Chelsea have suffered only one defeat in our last 14 away matches against Spanish teams (five wins, eight draws), a 0-3 defeat to Barcelona in March 2018.Chelsea are looking to win six consecutive away games in the Champions League proper for the first time. Our current run of five equalled our previous club record set in 2003/04.Edouard Mendy has conceded just two goals in his first nine Champions League appearances – the record for fewest goals conceded in a goalkeeper’s first 10 matches is two, set by Keylor Navas between 2014 and 2016 for Real Madrid.Thomas Tuchel has become the first Chelsea manager to remain unbeaten in his first 10 away games in all competitions (eight wins, two draws).
