Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is confident they can handle Chelsea without coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Real are in London for the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
Courtois said: "We want to take the tie back to the Bernabeu.
"We want to be able to decide the tie in the Bernabeu. We saw against Paris, how at the Bernabeu we were able to come back."
Courtois touched on Carlo Ancelotti's absence with the Real Madrid coach testing positive for covid.
"We're lucky that the assistant coach is his son and they are quite similar," Courtois continued.
"He [Carlo Ancelotti] has participated in video chats and we all know how to train. The coaching staff are doing well and it's not a big problem."
Courtois expects a physical battle against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
"Putting in a fourth midfielder depends on the style of the game," Courtois added.
"The coach has a plan and we trained yesterday and today, but I can't say much. This year has maybe been more difficult for them, because of the situation, but the dynamic is the same, they're a great team."
