Acting as a guest, Chelsea is not afraid to face Real Madrid. At the start of the game, Frank Lampard's team immediately got a chance through Raheem Sterling.

Unfortunately, Sterling's efforts in the penalty box were thwarted by Real Madrid's defense. On the other hand, both teams also played hard. 

The court judge issued two yellow cards before the game even entered the 10th minute. Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana received a yellow card in the fifth minute after fouling Vinicius Jr. 

Then in the seventh minute, it was the turn of the Real Madrid player, Eduardo Camavinga, who received a yellow card. Entering the 12th minute, Real Madrid got a chance through Karim Benzema.

The French player got a chance in the penalty box. However, Benzema's left-foot shot was still too weak and the ball was caught by Kepa. Real Madrid appear more confident. 
The home team also managed to take the lead when entering the 22nd minute through Benzema's flick. 


The goal was created after Vinicius Jr. made a flick towards Kepa. The spit-up ball was successfully utilized by Benzema, who stood free in front of the goal. 
Real Madrid won 1-0. 

Missed one goal, Chelsea reacted. The Blues (Chelsea's nickname) got a chance through Sterling. However, Sterling's efforts were thwarted by Thibaut Courtois. After that, both teams did not score again. The first half closed 1-0 in favor of Real Madrid.

Second round

The Croatian player received a flat pass from Benzema. But it's a shame, his right-footed shot still soared over Kepa's goal. 


Furthermore, Chelsea increasingly difficult to develop the game. Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell received a red card after violating Rodrygo near the penalty box in the 59th minute. 

Since then, the Blues have played with 10 players on the pitch. It was quite well utilized by Real Madrid.
