Chelsea met Real in the Champions League semi-finals last year as they beat the Spanish side 3-1 on aggregate to reach the final.
The two teams had previously met only in the 1998 Super Cup final, which Gustavo Boyer won with a goal for the Blues.
They also met in the 1971 Cup Winners’ Cup Final where Chelsea lifted the trophy after winning 2-1 in Athens.
Manchester City also got a difficult draw.
Pep Guardiola’s men will face Atletico Madrid, who killed neighbors Manchester United 2-1 on aggregate in the last round.
The first leg of Chelsea will be played at the Bernabeu because no two matches are allowed in Madrid in the same week.
If both English clubs qualify, they will compete in the next round for a place in the final in Paris.
The two teams met in the tournament final last year but Chelsea took the lead thanks to the winner from Kai Havertz.
