Real Madrid fans online are confident of their club beating Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The draw on Friday (March 17) revealed that the two sides will face each other in a repeat of last season's quarter-finals. The Spanish giants won that tie with a 5-4 aggregate scoreline en route to their record-extending 14th Champions League trophy.

Regardless, some Madrid fans are confident of beating Chelsea and reaching the semi-finals, while others are bored of facing the London outfit once again. They took to Twitter to share their reactions after the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was announced.

Chelsea have had a disappointing 2022-23 campaign so far. They are 10th in the Premier League table, a massive 29 points behind league leaders Arsenal with a game in hand. The Blues were also eliminated from both domestic cup competitions by Manchester City.

Graham Potter's men have, however, turned things around in recent games, winning three in a row across competitions.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are second in the La Liga table, nine points behind leaders Barcelona. They have already won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup this season but lost the Supercopa de Espana against the Blaugrana in the final.

Carlo Ancelotti's side also trail Barcelona 1-0 in the Copa del Rey semi-final after the first leg.
