Real Madrid Defeats Chelsea 2-0 Thanks To Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asension

Posted : 18 April 2023
Real Madrid defeated 10-man Chelsea 2-0 at the Bernabeu in the opening leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
After just three minutes, Frank Lampard's team had a golden opportunity to grab the lead when N'Golo Kante made a great pass to free up Joao Felix, who raced in on goal and fired a shot at Thibaut Courtois.
This opportunity was a portent of things to come for Chelsea in the first half as they frequently managed to sneak behind Real Madrid's defense on the break without punishing the visitors.
However, they were punished themselves when the home side took the lead after 21 minutes thanks to Karim Benzema. Dani Carvajal clipped a ball over the top for Vinicius Junior who stretched out a leg to meet the ball and his effort was pushed back into play by Kepa Arrizabalaga to Benzema, who was waiting to tap home into an empty net.

Just two minutes later Chelsea came close to equalising with their best chance of the half. Reece James fizzed a ball across for Raheem Sterling who was on hand to
divert an effort goalwards but Courtois got down in a flash to pull off a stunning save to protect Real's lead.Ben Chilwell's straight red card for a last-man tackle on

Rodrygo in the 59th minute put Chelsea up against a wall. 15 minutes before the finish, substitute Marco Asensio scored it 2-0 for the champions of Europe. The Spaniard was able to rocket his attempt low and hard into the bottom corner after Vinicius Jr. slid the ball to him on the outside of the box from a corner.

Mason Mount got the ball in the area and sent a shot on goal as time expired for Chelsea, but Antonio Rudiger was there to slide in and make an incredible block.
On Tuesday, April 18, the second leg will take place at Stamford Bridge.
