APOEL vs. Real Madrid: Champions League Quarterfinal Live Score, Analysis, Recap

Cinderella's still at the ball, but it's getting awfully late.

APOEL's storybook run in the UEFA Champions League continues Tuesday with a quarterfinal home match against mighty Real Madrid. If you're picking APOEL to win, there's a better than average chance you're reading from Cyprus.

But as Chelsea showed us in the last round, it's never wise to rule out any team in this competition. APOEL will be a long-shot, but a fair shot is exactly what they'll have against Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of Madrid's galaxy of stars.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET and we'll have live commentary starting at 2:30. See you then.
