Real Madrid and Chelsea pressed the match for revenge in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The Santiago Bernabéu was the scene of a match that turned out to be a great match, with five goals, one of which was canceled at the request of the VAR and extended. They just have to reach the penalties.

Chelsea arrived in Madrid with a clear idea of ​​what to do: deterioration to lift the 1 to 3 Real Madrid gave him last week in England. The locals also thought of a strategy that didn’t work: they tried to resist and let the rival do the wear and could be desperate in that attempt or end it with a retaliatory attack.

Chelsea was effectively broken and got what they were looking for. Real, on the other hand, had to change roles so as not to be left behind. He did it on time, before giving up and despite starting the game as the favorite to continue the competition, he barely tied the series to scratch extra time.

Nearly 15 minutes of play passed and Chelsea confirmed that the 1 – 3 first leg would not be resolved. Mason Mount he pointed out after help from Werner and improved the second leg, which Real thought was cooking over a slow fire.

The goal is an increase in confidence for the English team. Ang Meringue he adopted a defensive attitude and moved his attack to some counterattack. Without desperation, Real ended the first half with almost no chances to score and held a 3-2 lead in the first leg.

But if Real thought they could last the whole game, Chelsea showed them it wasn’t a good plan. Six minutes from the start, Antonio Rudiger he put 2 to 0 in Madrid directing things in the extension. There is still a lot to play and the aggregate is 3-3.

That scenario forced the Spanish team to abandon that passive attitude that was so close to it Thibaut Courtois. Without local speculation, the party was enriched. So much so that situations began to happen.

Chelsea was first, who got third but the VAR repealed it: Before identifying, Marcos Alonso accidentally touched the ball with his hand. After tense seconds, Real won again, putting the situations together and initially after the failure, Benzema turned the crossbar. All that did not happen, began to see.

15 minutes from the end Timo Werner he did what he wanted in place – he hooked up and left his brand paying – and defined as a champion. In the same way as when he thought to go first, Real Madrid he never lost his appetite a foot out of the semifinals. Five minutes later, Rodrygo in tied to the first ball he caught: Carlo Ancelotti moved the bench in time and the Brazilian was just entered.

The best is in the supplement: The two left everything and there was no more room to think or iron out the fight. Benzema appeared and with a header he made it 2-3 at the Bernabéu and 5-4 on the aggregate putting him in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
