Real Madrid vs Chelsea

Minute-by-minute report: History and the tie are against Chelsea. Follow all the action from Madrid, with Scott Murray.

Of course we will try to get a lead to maybe get into their minds and cause some doubts, but if it is the other way round we will keep on trying. He flicks a cute pass down the inside-right channel in the hope of releasing Vinicius Junior, but Mendy reads the danger, coming out of his box to sweep up. Real get the ball rolling, and pump it forward quickly. 4 min: A long speculative pass down the Real right nearly exposes Chelsea. Valverde hares after it, but Kovacic gets across to intercept and snuff out the danger. A lot of whistling from the home fans, who don’t like it one bit. Werner and Havertz combine down the inside-left channel, the ball bobbling around in the box before clanking out for a corner. 6 min: Modric swans around in the centre circle like he owns the place, which the little genius kind of does. Then, all of a sudden, a ball’s fizzed down the inside-left channel by Kovacic. It’s helped on by Loftus-Cheek and Werner, and suddenly Mount is tearing into the box down the middle! 7 min: Vinicuis is sent scampering clear down the left touchline, the recipient of Benzema’s outrageous backheel. He opens his body and sends a confident - and powerful - sidefoot past Courtois and into the top right! He makes it into the box and should have a crack, because there’s nobody else up with him. 19 min: Vinicius drives down the left and glides infield.

Chelsea dominated and took a 3-0 lead that would have sent them through before goals from Rodrygo and Karim Benzema secured Real Madrid's passage to the ...

In the context of the away goals rule change, that approach was even more strange. That said, Karim Benzema was in the same situation when he tormented Chelsea at Stamford Bridge just a week ago. It is an attribute far easier to establish than re-establish and far easier to cede than regain. But Real were complicit in that surrender of control. That still left two centre-backs to deal with Benzema. Real Madrid ceded their inherited power through a misguided strategy of sticking with what they had.

Yet Benzema, the first-leg hero who went dormant for long stretches of the second leg, brought the Bernabéu to its feet with his extra-time goal in the 96th minute. The gravity of Alonso’s goal appeared to wake Real Madrid from its slumber. Just minutes later, the Blues ran off into the corner in raucous celebration after Marcos Alonso appeared to give Chelsea the aggregate lead.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is the surprise inclusion in midfield. There doesn't look to be a single empty seat in the house, as the teams line up for kick off. Courtois, moving in the opposite direction, can't react, and the ball nestles in the bottom corner. Ruben Loftus-Cheek's surprise inclusion is really helping in that regard. Alonso is in the area, on the left. The hosts have won a free kick in Chelsea's third, and things feel much more urgent from them than they have so far. Rudiger is forced into a last ditch tackle, sliding in to stop Vinicius breaking into Chelsea's area, and then Valverde gives away a free kick on the halfway line to stop Chelsea breaking. It's patient play from Chelsea who keep the ball in midfield, on the left. Real have the ball on the left, and it's an outside of the boot cross from Modric who lifts the ball into the pass of Rodrygo. Running in behind the defender, he has to finish first time, and he does. It's nodded down into Pulisic's path and it looks a chance to score, but Carvajal is on hand to stop him, and the chance goes begging. 122nd min: Dani Ceballos, who apparently came on for Vinicius Jr. five minutes ago, wins a free kick in Chelsea' half, which elicits a loud cheer from the crowd. Real Madrid began to play with more urgency in response, but the visitors already had the momentum.

Chelsea have been dominant since the restart and have kept the pressure on the Real Madrid defence who look very nervous in all honesty. 54 mins: There’s a chance for Real Madrid to respond almost immediately as they win a free kick about 25-yards out from goal.

He lays it off to Mount who storms forward and slides a through ball into Kai Havertz as he makes his way into the box.

Chelsea's epic Champions League comeback falls short as Madrid claim 'instant classic'. Modric ...

The English side take a 3-1 lead into Wednesday’s second leg at Anfield. Luka Modric was enraged when the referee claimed the shot had been deflected off his boot – and Madrid soon became even more unhappy when Mount’s resulting cross found an unmarked Antonio Rudiger who made no mistake with the cross. He patiently dummied a defender before unleashing a shot under Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois. In extra time, 34-year-old Frenchman Benzema struck his 38th goal of the season - and his 12th in the Champions League this campaign - when he was found unmarked ten yards from the goal from a brilliantly chipped Vinicius Jnr cross and powered his header home. In an engrossing clash, Mount added his name to the assist column in the 51st minute after Chelsea were wrongly awarded a corner when a Reece James strike from the edge of the box went wide of the goal. After a quarter of an hour, Timo Werner flicked the ball to Mount on the edge of the area, with the England international controlling the ball well before finishing with aplomb.
