The Champions League is back! After a short break, the second leg of the round of 16 is ready to kick off on Tuesday. Chelsea will face off against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16 at 3:00 p.m. ET on March 7th at Stamford Bridge. Since Chelsea's past three Champions League matches have been decided by no more than a goal, don't be surprised if it's a close one.

Chelsea didn't get the result they wanted in their first fixture with Borussia Dortmund back in February. Chelsea fell just short of Borussia Dortmund by a score of 1-0. The game was a 0-0 toss-up at halftime, but Chelsea were shut out after they couldn't score in the second half either.

Chelsea are hoping to turn the tables on Borussia Dortmund this time around.
