NOW IT'S FOR REAL

CHELSEA will face Real Madrid for the third season running in the Champions League - but manager Graham Potter was already up for it before yesterday's quarter-final draw had even taken place.

The normally reserved Chelsea boss, at a fans' event at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night, roared: "We'll try to beat Everton, we'll take the Champions League draw and then we'll try and win the f****** Champions League!" If Chelsea progress, it could mean an all-English semi-final as the winners will meet either Manchester City or Bayern Munich in the last four.

City boss Pep Guardiola must find a way past his former club to stay on course for Champions League glory. Guardiola (below right) will face Bayern for the first time since taking charge of City when the two sides meet next month. Chelsea beat 14-times.
