Chelsea were unable to defeat Real Madrid, the 13-time European champions, at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. Despite having an excellent record versus the Los Blancos, the Blues were unable to produce positive results.They knocked Real Madrid out of the competition in the semi-finals last season and went on to win the European Championship. The Blues enjoyed more possession throughout the match, but they were unable to break down Carlo Ancelotti's side and earn a point or a draw.Thomas Tuchel fielded a good team, but they were unable to win, with Karim Benzema emerging as the match's greatest player following his incredible hat-trick. The German coach had hoped for better results at the Bridge, but Los Blancos were simply too strong.
Real Madrid's midfield appeared to be superior, as players like N'golo Kante, Mason Mount, and Mateo Kovacic were unable to defeat the visitors. Toni Kroos, a German midfielder, was brilliant in the encounter, ensuring that Kante and Mount did not create anything or score a goal. He is 32 years old, but he is dominating matches for Real Madrid, creating chances and scoring goals. Yesterday at Stamford Bridge, Kroos was one of the greatest players on the pitch, creating some fantastic chances for his team.Mount and Kante struggled against the German international, who, despite being in his early 30s, is still at the top of his game. Chelsea may not go to the next round due to a two-goal disadvantage, and winning at the Santiago Bernabéu is never easy for any team.l.
