Chelsea chief Barnard: No favourite facing Real Madrid

Chelsea chief David Barnard insists they're happy with their Champions League quarterfinal draw against Real Madrid.

Barnard says the pairing is the continuing of a "trilogy".

He stated, “This is the third part of the trilogy.

"After the playoffs [in 2021 and 2022], both teams became champions. Playing the second leg at home is better for us and for the fans.

"There are no favourites in this match, everything is on par."
