Chelsea

LONDON — Luka Modric has, by this stage, seen pretty much all there is to see. He has won four Champions League titles. He has played in a World Cup final.

He is the one who makes it all work. Maybe he has always been the one who makes it all work. The proof of that is simple. It is not quite right to present him as a late bloomer, a flickering talent who waited until the final few years of his career to deliver on his longstanding promise, to learn how to make the most of his gifts. Zinedine Zidane, his coach for a considerable portion of that time, variously described him as “the best” and a “total footballer.” What has emerged is an uncanny impression of the player that Papin described all those years ago. It is only now that it is possible to see Benzema in high definition. Benzema was a little too far forward, or the cross was a little too far back. He was standing on the edge of Chelsea’s penalty area, admiring the flight of the cross he had just delivered. He has spent a decade at Real Madrid, embedded among some of the finest players of his generation. Or, perhaps, he could try to replicate the header that had opened the scoring a couple of minutes earlier, one of such force that it had flashed past Mendy before he had chance to recognize it. He is one of the finest players of his generation.

Un “hat-trick” del experimentado delantero Karim Benzema le dio al Real Madrid una contundente victoria por 3-1 sobre el Chelsea.

Todo esto mientras las brutales realidades de la guerra han comenzado a surgir en Ucrania a medida que las fuerzas rusas se retiran de la región de Kyiv y dicen cambiar su enfoque hacia el este del país. A pesar de que el Chelsea tuvo más intentos y mucho balón en la segunda parte, fue la afición madridista la que bailó mientras los seguidores locales se desesperaban. Benzema inspiró a su equipo a una victoria por 3-1 en una noche lluviosa en el oeste de Londres, lo que puso al equipo español con una amplia ventaja de la llave antes del partido de vuelta. Las sanciones al propietario saliente del Chelsea, Roman Abramovich, debido a sus vínculos con el presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, probablemente tendrán un gran impacto en lo que ha sido el partido más importante de la temporada del club hasta el momento.

The Real Madrid striker's second straight UCL hat trick gives the club one foot in the semifinals—and has Chelsea staring at the possibility of an abrupt ...

There is a possibility that this will come to be seen as the night on which Chelsea ceased to be a major European force. This was far from the timid Madrid that had lost 1–0 away to PSG, or even the side that had struggled in the first hour of the second leg of that tie. Chelsea had controlled the game at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the semifinal against Madrid last season, but this was a much more ragged game. Benzema may be 34, but he is in the form of his life. This time it was Karim Benzema, and, while Chelsea will argue, quite rightly, that Wednesday’s 3–1 home defeat in the first leg of the quarterfinals does not mean it is out of this season’s Champions League, the France international’s hat trick was every bit as good as Ronaldo’s. Roman Abramovich, the story had it, decided to buy a Premier League football club after watching Brazilian great Ronaldo score a hat trick for Real Madrid in the Champions League at Old Trafford in 2003.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has warned his players that the Champions League tie against Real Madrid could be over after their 3-1 defeat.

LONDRES (EFE) -- El Real Madrid derrotó por primera vez en su historia al Chelsea, con un triunfo por 3-1 en la ida de los cuartos de final de la Liga de Campeones en Stamford Bridge con un triplete del francés Karim Benzema, que deja al equipo de Carlo Ancelotti a puertas de las semifinales.

Chelsea y Real Madrid se ven las caras en una nueva edición de la Champions League en este partido de ida de cuartos de final. Ambos equipos ya han...

El Chelsea ha ganado en dos ocasiones: 1-0, en la Supercopa de Europa de 1998 y el 2-0 en el partido de vuelta de la temporada pasada. La otra finalizó con el empate 1-1 en el partido de ida del año pasado. Comenzamos con esta retransmisión de este partido de Champions League.

Con la pelea por alcanzar el Balón de Oro, el ariete galo tiene una cita importante en el encuentro de hoy. ¡Se adelanta el Madrid en Londres! Pero el Real Madrid hace mucho daño cuando supera la primera línea de presión. El Real Madrid crea muchos problemas en transición. Error del arquero a la hora de jugar la pelota y el francés no falla. No le gusta nada al DT alemán lo que ve en el terreno de juego y ya prepara piernas frescas para la segunda parte. Además, los recientes problemas relacionados con la vinculación de Roman Abramovich con el gobierno ruso han provocado fuertes sanciones con el club británico. En la ida, ingleses y españoles finalizaron con un marcador de 1-1 (gol incluido de Christian Pulisic) en Madrid. En la vuelta , serían los Blues los claros vencedores después de vencer por 2-0 en Stamford Bridge. Minuto 70 de partido y se animan los Blues.

Karim Benzema completed his hat-trick after a dreadful goalkeeping error as Real Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1 in the first leg of their quarter-final.

They tried to mount a fightback but the mood worsened when Lukaku headed wide from six yards. The game was being played at Madrid’s stately pace, Modric, Kroos and Casemiro dominating midfield, and Chelsea were not quick enough to smell danger. It was a superb goal, made possible by Benzema dropping deep to link play, and another soon arrived. The Spaniards are a different proposition to the one that fared so badly when these sides met in the semi-finals last season. Unable to pin down Modric and Kroos, N’Golo Kanté also failed to make it out for the second half. It did not matter that Modric is 36 or that Benzema, who has scored consecutive hat-tricks in the Champions League, is 34.

Chelsea sought to fight back in the second half with the best chance falling to substitute Romelu Lukaku – Chelsea’s record signing who has struggled to fit in at Stamford Bridge – but he headed narrowly wide as a deflected ball dropped to him on the edge of the six-yard box in the 69th minute. Then I got another and I’m very happy,” Benzema told Spanish television. But Chelsea’s chances of a comeback were undone by Mendy’s mistake in the 46th minute when, outside his box, he tried to pass to Antonio Rudiger only for Benzema to intercept and steer the ball into an empty net for his 37th goal of the season.

Real Madrid are on the brink of advancing to the Champions League semifinals after Karim Benzema guided Los Blancos to an impressive and deserved 3-1 win ...

That is 36 goals in 36 games this season and his 10th in the Champions League! This time it's from Modric and if the ball is within Benzema's reach, there's a threat for a goal. Valverde with a run towards goal, he finds Vinicius, who makes a move and fires off the crossbar and out! As the sayin goes, a two goal lead is the most dangerous in sports but a full Santago Bernabeu Stadium on a Champions League night is as tough of an environment as they come. It was a moment of redemption as Lukaku had a header on a platter and sends it... Modric sprung him and his cross found Benzema who just couldn't finish the chance from a tight angle. Even with the team bbehind by two goals, they only took nine shots in the second half compared to 11 in the first half despite playing a more attack-minded formation. Chelsea finished the match with 20 shots, 12 more than Real Madrid, but they have very little to show for it and face a massive uphill climb in the second leg. After losing to Brentford 4-1 on the weekend, defense has to be a concern for Thomas Tuchel as his side has now allowed seven goals in their last two matches. Mendy should've done better but one issue playing out of the back is that if it goes wrong, it usually goes wrong in a big way. With two different but excellent headers, Benzema's finishing was on display but it's just as impressive how he gets into position to receive a cross. Chelsea had no answer for Vinicius Junior playing on the back shoulder of the defense.

Ganar la Champions otra vez es extremadamente difícil todo el tiempo. LONDRES.- El Real Madrid visita al Chelsea en la ida de cuartos de final de la Champions, en lo que se perfila como una revancha de las semifinales del año pasado que se llevaron los ingleses. El equipo merengue empató en la ida 1-1, pero cayó 2-0 en Stamford Bridge dando el pase a la final al Chelsea, que finalmente acabaría alzando el trofeo continental al imponerse al Manchester City en la final.
