Real Madrid hosts Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu when the two meet for the third consecutive season.
Real ruled Group F and beat Liverpool in the knockout stages, while Chelsea beat AC Milan twice to finish top of Group E before eliminating Borussia Dortmund from the competition.
The winner of this tie has won the entire tournament for the past two seasons, but this time it may be more complicated, as Manchester City or Bayern await the winners in the semi-finals.

It would be a great wonder if Ancelotti moves away from a 4-3-3 formation, however, it will be difficult to expect midfield 3 to be waiting for Chelsea.
Lampard opted to play a 4-3-3 in his first game as caretaker manager, but it is conceivable that he can be a little more defensive against Real Madrid.
Below are the starting line-ups of any of the strikers from their Champions League match at the Santiago Bernanbeu on Wednesday 12 April.
(4-3-3): Courtois (Goalkeeper) — Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga — Valverde, Kroos, Modric — Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.
Ferland Mendy is the only player expected to miss for Real Madrid as he continues with a calf injury, meaning the departure of French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga at left-back. David Alaba played the first half against Villarreal and leaves as it looks. to deal with a muscle problem.
Toni Kross, Luka Modric and Federico Valverde were all on the bench in the weekend’s 3-2 loss to Villarreal, but Ancelotti’s starting midfielder is back for Europe’s big night.
(5-3-2): Kepa (PO) – James, Fofana, Silva, Koulibaly, Chilwell – Kante, Fernandez, Kovacic – Sterling, Joao Felix
Armando Broja is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. Thiago Silva is after a six-week absence to bolster the defence.
Christian Pulisic played his best moment in a Chelsea blouse under Lampard and was the first replacement used by the coach in their defeat to Wolves. However, Raheem Sterling gets the green light to start alongside Joao Felix up front.
There will be more tension at Real Madrid before this game because Chelsea have nothing to lose.
Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior will have plenty of eyes on them as they try to lead their team to back-to-back Champions League titles.
