Goalkeeper error when playing the ball and the Frenchman does not fail. A goal very similar to the one he scored against Donnarumma in the round of 16 a few weeks ago. Not a minute has passed in the first half!
The German coach does not like what he sees on the pitch and is already preparing fresh legs for the second half. enter Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech.Christensen and Kante leave. This already begins!
Real Madrid beat Chelsea after two consecutive goals from a very successful Karim Benzema in front of goalkeeper. Chelsea closed the gap through the boots of Kai Havertz. Ancelotti’s men are very comfortable on the pitch.
Stay hand in hand! The white set of Benzema’s boots was about to score the third after another counterattack. The Real Madrid creates many problems in transition.
Kai Havertz pulls the gap back at Stamford Bridge after also heading in another goal. Courtois parried the ball but could not prevent it from entering the goal.
The Frenchman already has 10 goals in this edition and is the third highest scorer behind Haller (Ajax) and LewandowskI (Bayern)

Shy approaches of those of Tuchel in these measures. But Real Madrid It does a lot of damage when it gets past the first line of pressure.
Benzema again! Again with a header, this time in the small area after taking advantage of a cross from Luka Modric. What a response from Ancelotti’s team!
what a header Benzema! The striker took advantage of a lateral cross from Vinicius Jr and finished off with his head from the height of the penalty spot. Madrid is ahead in London!

Good counterattack from Real Madrid, with Vinicius defining inside the area after a cut. The Spanish team has come out strong!

Last bars for the beginning of this great meeting. The teams are already warming up on the grass of Stamford Bridge.
The PSG from Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbapp It was one of the schools with the most potential to raise its first ‘Orejona’. But Carlo Ancelotti’s team drew their ‘gene’ from the great European nights and managed to turn the score around in a Santiago Bernabu completely overturned. Now, he wants ‘revenge’ against his latest executioner.
Benzema works the miracle
