Real Madrid demolishes Chelsea. confident to knock them out.

 

Real Madrid have taken a commanding 2-0 lead over Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio were enough to secure the victory for the Spanish giants, who dominated proceedings throughout the game.

Despite their strong start to the match, Chelsea were unable to find the back of the net and have now gone four games without scoring for the first time since 1993. The Blues were dealt another blow when defender Ben Chilwell was sent off for a foul on Rodrygo before Asensio sealed the win for Real Madrid in the 74th minute.

The defeat for Chelsea comes just weeks after the club spent a reported 600 million euros during the recent transfer window, a move that was expected to propel the club back to the top of the Premier League and Europe's elite. However, the heavy investment has yet to yield results on the pitch, with Chelsea currently languishing in 11th place in the Premier League.

While there were a few positives for Chelsea in the game, including the performance of midfielder N'Golo Kante, the team will need to regroup and come up with a plan to overcome the deficit in the second leg of the tie. Manager Frank Lampard will be hoping that his side can turn things around and prove their worth on the European stage, especially with a potential semi-final clash against either Manchester City or Bayern Munich on the horizon.

For Real Madrid, the win puts them in a strong position to progress to the semi-finals of the competition, as they seek to win their 14th Champions League title. Coach Carlo Ancelotti will be pleased with the team's performance and will be urging his players to remain focused ahead of the return leg at Stamford Bridge next week.

Real Madrid's victory over Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie was a dominant display from the Spanish side. While Chelsea will be disappointed with the result, they will need to put it behind them and focus on overturning the deficit in the second leg if they want to keep their European dreams alive.
