Chelsea takeover contender Todd Boehly is in attendance for the Blues’ Champions League clash with Real Madrid tonight.
The American was pictured by Sky Sports cameras entering the ground as the club’s bidding war nears its climax.
Spanish giants Madrid took on Chelsea in the first leg of their quarter-final tie with the Premier League side defending their European crown, which they won last season having beaten Los Blancos in the last four.
Standard Sport revealed ahead of the game that chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia have been locked in talks with the four shortlisted hopefuls this week.

On Thursday, LA Dodgers co-owner Boehly is set to hold further talks regarding his bid with the club bosses.
Plans are already being made by his bid team to redevelop Stamford Bridge, should he be successful in succeeding Roman Abramovich at the helm of the club.
Rival takeover hopefuls the Ricketts family have already met the Chelsea chiefs and a deadline of April 11 has been set for the bids, ahead of a preferred consortium being chosen the following week.
