UCL: See What Courtois Said Following Real Madrid's Victory Over Chelsea At Stamford Bridge

Real Madrid advanced to the next round with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening.

Karim Benzema's three goals gave Real Madrid a deserved win over the hosts in front of their fans.

Thibaut Courtois, former Chelsea goalkeeper, reacts to Los Blancos' win over the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

Thibaut Courtois, goalkeeper for Real Madrid and a former Chelsea player: "It's a good win on difficult terrain. We got off to a good start against a tough team. We created opportunities, hit the crossbar, scored two goals, and then missed two more.

"It's a shame their goal was a pity. I managed to get a touch but not well enough to stop it, but we then kicked off the second half with a goal.

"We can't believe it's finished. In football, an early goal from them can put them back in the game. We have to play our game with our fans cheering us on, just like we did against Paris, and play as if we were level and needed to win."
