Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Vinicus Jr. was once again an outstanding figure for Real Madrid, assisting in both goals. The first, a move where the Brazilian takes the defender and the goalkeeper for Karim Benzema to finish off without any opposition.

The second came after 74 minutes when Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić quickly took a corner and Vini passed the ball to Marco Asensio, who shot the ball swiftly with his left foot.
Rodrygo also had interesting moments moving around the entire attack front. At minute 59, after a great pass from Federico Valverde, when he was going alone in front of the goal, Ben Chilwell grabbed his arm, knocking him down and earning the red card. This meant that Real Madrid could manage the game in a different way and reach the second goal more calmly.
Both forwards were a headache for the English defence. Vinicius was a nightmare for Reece James. The Brazilian who won several duels during the 90 minutes. On Rodrygo’s part, he had more freedom to focus and play towards the middle.
The return is scheduled for Tuesday the 18th at Stamford Bridge where the local will seek to reverse a difficult result.
