The player from the London club committed a foul on Rodrygo.

Chelsea is having a hard time. Almost at the 60th minute of the second half, Ben Chilwell was sent off from the match after fouling the Brazilian Rodrygo as he was heading towards the opposing goal.

Real Madrid got closer to the Champions League semi-finals this Wednesday by beating Chelsea 2-0. Kepa Arrizabalaga's good performance prevented a bigger defeat for Chelsea in this first leg of the continental tournament.

Goals from Karim Benzema (21) and Marco Asensio (74) have given Real Madrid the advantage for the next week's second leg at Stamford Bridge, where the Blues, who ended with 10 due to Ben Chilwell's expulsion (59), will have to come back.

Exactly one year after the match that sent Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals against Chelsea last season, the white team dominated the English side, whose goal from the beginning was to try to survive at the Bernabeu.

With a five-man defense and the counterattack as their main weapon, Frank Lampard's team was the first, however, to scare the home fans with a great run from Joao Félix, whose shot was saved by Thibaut Courtois (2).

That was practically the only occasion when the Portuguese, loaned by Atletico Madrid, was seen, as he gradually disappeared from the match until being substituted for Trevoh Chaolobah (65), amidst boos from the Bernabeu.

Chelsea started off intense, aided by Kanté's good performance in the midfield. The French midfielder, who had set up the ball for Joao Félix's run, gave another scare just two minutes later (4).
