Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said he was sad to see Chelsea's slump this season, ahead of their Champions League quarter-final clash on Wednesday.

The Italian coach led the Blues between 2009-2011, winning a Premier League and FA Cup double in 2010. Chelsea, 11th in the Premier League, sacked coach Graham Potter at the start of April and hired their former coach Frank Lampard on an interim basis. "I am sad, yes," Ancelotti told a news conference on Tuesday before the first leg clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.
