The Madrid went out to Stamford Bridge with the suit of the big parties. Wanting the ball, proposing and creating danger. So much so that after ten minutes Vinicius stood before Mendy and shot the crossbar. Los Blancos had nothing to do with the prudish team that fell in the semi-finals in London last season. Ancelottiwho managed to test negative in the PCR and travel, opted to give more robustness to his eleven with Valverde instead of Asensio or Rodrygo. And the team appreciated it.

The whites pushed the blues out, cutting off the exits, and playing with dynamism to easily overcome the English lines. tactically Carletto he won the game Tuchel, but the scoreboard did not finish reflecting the incontestable madridista dominance.

The local coach was looking for something on his bench to cling to and ended up pulling on the physique of Lukaku and Loftus-Cheek. The last resort, the tremendous. More than the match, the tie was at stake. A local goal tightened the match, a visitor buried the tie for the European champions. Two resounding opportunities the Belgian forgave when Madrid ran out of steam. But those of Ancelotti they knew how to cool down the end of the game and the Chelsea ended up being the victim of the best game of the season Real Madrid. In the best place and on the most suitable night. And crowned by the majestic performance of Karim Benzema, a velvet hammer.
