Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has urged the Blues to be at their best in order to have any chance of getting a good result against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Chelsea will face Real Madrid in an away Champions League quarterfinal tie on Wednesday night.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the match, the Spain defender said: “It is a unique opportunity, and only eight teams are here. It is special and difficult. This is a tie that will demand the most of us, from each one and as a team, because we play against the current champions.

“It is the third year in a row that we play against them. "They have a lot of experience.”

“All rivals must be treated with respect and humility. We know that Real Madrid are a club with a great history in the competition, and that’s why we need to be at our best.”

The kick-off time for the match is 8 p.m.
