Real madrid won the first leg 2-0 with goals from Ronaldo and Marcelo and are in a comfortable position to advance to the quarter final of the UCL.

Let the best team win

Real madrid are chasing a UCL quarter-finals and further competition's record books when they host Schalke on Tuesday.

The defending champions enhanced their status as the most successful European club of all time when they beat neighbours Atletico madrid to collect a 10th UCL crown last May.

Victory over Schalke would be Real's 11th successive win in the competion, following a 2-0 triumph in the first leg of the last-16 tie in Gelsenkirchen last month, and this would represent a new Champions league record.

Additionally, Ancelotti's men are chasing a record equalling 12th straight home win in Europe's premier club tournament, although they will do so following a domestic setback at the weekend.

Real went down to a 1-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, allowing rivals Barcelona to return to the top of la liga with a 6-1 demolition of Rayo vallecano the following day.This followed a 1-1 draw against Villarreal.

Schalke must hope these unusual misfiring tendencies continue having endured the Real attack at its most brutal last season.

At the same stage of the UCL, the spanish giants beat their Bundesliga opponents 6-1 away before closing out a 9-2 aggregate scoreline.

The assignment remains an incredibly tough one for Schalke, who won for the first time in five games across all competitions on Saturday when they beat Hoffenheim 3-1.

Madrid could welcome back influential midfielder Luka modric who has been sidelined with a thigh injury since November, but captain Sergio Ramos(hamstring) and playmaker James Rodriguez(toe) will miss out once more.

Kevin-Prince Boateng booking during the first leg means he is unavailable to Schalke coach Roberto Di Matteo due to suspension. http://www.goal.com/en/match/real-madrid-vs-schalke-04/1974594/preview
