Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the first leg of the Champions League semi final between Real Madrid and Chelsea. Kick off 20.00 BST.

Chelsea have an overload on deep in Real territory. It's worked to the right but despite a decent delivery to the far post, the Blues can't quite manufacture the opening for a shot at goal.

DID YOU KNOW? Chelsea have only lost the first leg in one of their seven previous Champions League semi-finals (W2 D4). That was a 3-1 defeat to Monaco in 2003-04. The first legs of their last six semi-finals - all in which they were unbeaten - have seen just four goals scored (three for, one conceded).

Two top coaches - but who will prevail tonight? Not much being given away in these very early stages.

KICK OFF! Real Madrid get this first leg up and running.

This is your five-minute warning. Grab a beer/brew or pass the time checking out N'Golo Kante doing Kante-style things in this video.

HIgh praise for Zidane.

TUCHEL v ZIDANE: The men in the respective dugouts are two of only 24 managers to have managed 15 or more Champions League matches in the knockout stages. Zidane has the joint-best win ratio (alongside Luis Enrique) of these managers (67 per cent - P27 W18). Tuchel has the seventh-best percentage (53 per cent - P15 W8). However, Tuchel is unbeaten in four battles with Zizou, winning one and drawing three.

CAN MENDY KEEP OUT MADRID AND TIE A RECORD? Edouard Mendy has conceded just two goals in his first nine Champions League matches. The record for the fewest goals shipped in a goalkeeper's first 10 matches is two, which was set by Keylor Navas between 2014 and 2016 for Real Madrid.

Christian Pulisic: “It’s key to really try to enjoy the moment. Champions League semi-finals don’t come around every day. It’s an amazing time for us. Personally I’ve been looking forward to this game for weeks. It’s a big moment, there are nerves and a lot of preparation involved. The key is going to be having a really good start to the match, showing our energy and showing we’re ready for this competition.”

Thomas Tuchel: “We deserve to be in the semi-final, just like Real Madrid. And we don't deserve it because of political decisions, or influence, or size, or nice shirts: we deserve it because we came a long way."

OPINION: Hazard will be keen to 'prove himself' for Real Madrid as they take on Chelsea, while the absence of Sergio Ramos will not matter.

Zinedine Zidane on former Chelsea star Eden Hazard: “He was very comfortable when he played the other day and that was the most important thing - he didn't feel any pain. He's ready to go now. We're happy he's available because he's going to bring a lot to the team."

Chelsea are unchanged from the 1-0 win at West Ham which means Cesar Azpilicueta retains his place in the side ahead of Reece James. It is the first time Thomas Tuchel has stuck with the same team since taking charge. Meanwhile, Real make three changes from the weekend draw with Real Betis. Marcelo, Toni Kroos and Vinicius Junior start in a 3-5-2 system.
