Chelsea won the English Premier League for a record of 44 wins and 15 draws. The Blues also finished with 99 points, becoming the first team in Premier League history to score 100 goals.
Chelsea 1-1 Real Madrid is a match from the Champions League. It was played on November 19, 2014 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick for the second time in as many games in the Champions League, after a triple against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.
After Karim Benzema’s hat-trick put Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in in front of the quarter-final first leg at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s grasp on the Champions League hangs in the balance.
After veteran France striker Benzema gave his latest masterclass, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti made a victorious return to the club where he won the Premier League and FA Cup double.
Benzema, 34, punished holders Chelsea with two beautiful headers in the space of three minutes halfway through the first half, fresh off a triple that sank Paris St-Germain in the last 16.
Chelsea had a chance before the interval thanks to Kai Havertz’s header, but Real took control when keeper Edouard Mendy’s weak clearance seconds after the restart awarded Benzema his third goal, putting Real in charge of the tie ahead of the Bernabeu’s second leg next Tuesday (12 April).
Chelsea pays a high price for mistakes.
Chelsea fought until the finish of the first leg, but they were always up against it after being caught off guard by Benzema’s superb one-two and then seeing their chances of staging a comeback shattered by a self-inflicted wound.
When Vinicius Junior struck the crossbar, Real had already sent a warning about the threat they posed, but it went unheeded as he produced the cross for Benzema’s soaring headed opener.
Chelsea were always exposed against a team that are masters of these Champions League circumstances after Benzema had proven his aerial danger with a second.
After Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Luiz Adriano, Karim Benzema became the fourth player in Champions League history to score back-to-back hat-tricks.
Havertz, who scored the game-winning goal in last season’s Champions League final victory against Manchester City, offered a somber Stamford Bridge some optimism, but the tie’s fate might have been decided in the first 40 seconds after the break.
Mendy, who is usually so dependable, made a costly error as he ran from goal only to make a bad ball to Antonio Rudiger.
The defender was unable to take hold of the ball, and the predatory Benzema was in a flash to slide the ball into the open goal, with Mendy watching helplessly.
It occurred shortly after Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel added Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech at the start of the second half in an attempt to build on Havertz’s goal, but the substitutions were undone before they could have any impact.
Tuchel then sent on Romelu Lukaku in an effort to salvage the situation, but his troubles were summed up when he put a weak header over with one of Chelsea’s finest opportunities of the evening.
Chelsea has shown the capacity to overcome hardship in the past, but with Real leading by two goals heading into the second leg at the Bernabeu, reaching the final four from this position would be one of their greatest feats.
Madrid is supreme once again.
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in may be running away with La Liga, but Carlo Ancelotti’s team was viewed as a long shot in the European Cup and Champions League, where they are chasing a 14th title.
However, with this display of experience and quality at Stamford Bridge, they underlined once again that their qualifications be overlooked at your risk, after their spectacular comeback against the odds to knock out Paris St-Germain in the last 16.
And in Ancelotti, despite the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at the Bernabeu, they have a leader who has won this cup three times with both AC Milan and Real.
Real’s coach and players demonstrated their experience by punishing Chelsea, led by Benzema and the 36-year-old Croatia maestro Luka Modric, to take a major step towards the semi-final.
Benzema continues to improve with age, scoring two world-class headers before plundering a third goal, while Modric keeps his invaluable ability to manage the pace, retain possession, and always make the best decision from the alternatives available.
Ancelotti will not take anything for granted, but the experienced Italian, who came into London the day before the game after recuperating from Covid-19, cut a pleased face after the final whistle.
