Chelsea vs Real Madrid – Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio scored a goal each in the first and second halves to give the Spaniards a comfortable 2-0 victory at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, giving Real Madrid a significant advantage before the journey to the English capital.
Based on all we saw six days ago in Madrid, Chelsea will have been pleased to enter the rematch with only a two-goal disadvantage.
Last week, the current Champions League champions had total control of the match from beginning to end and appeared to have defeated their opponents even as they let off the gas.
Ben Chilwell, the left wing-back who was dismissed at the hour mark at the Bernabeu, won’t be available for the return leg on Tuesday night at Stamford Bridge for interim boss Frank Lampard.
It was the Blues’ fifth straight game without a win across all competitions and fourth straight game in which they failed to score.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, maintained their dominance over the continent and a generally excellent run of form by winning their third game in their last four games overall.
Los Blancos have scored two or more goals in four straight games across competitions, demonstrating their recent dominance in the final third. The winning streak includes a 4-0 demolition of Barcelona at Camp Nou in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal.
