And Madrid’s deadly duo of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior provided the opener when a ball over the top found the Brazilian in the 21st minute. Although Kepa got a hand to it, he didn’t push it wide enough to see the Frenchman tap home for 1-0.

But Chelsea’s hard work to stay in the game was then undone. Ben Chilwell was shown a straight red for bringing down the Brazilian on a breakaway. With a man advantage, Madrid continued to pile on the pressure hoping to rack up the goals. substitute They substituted Marco Asensio on the pitch, and he doubled the lead with a strike from range after only three minutes of action. Substitute Mason Mount almost pulled on back in the dying moments. But former team-mate Antonio Rüdiger blocked his effort.
