Chelsea were facing Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League 2021-22. In the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Real battered Chelsea. Benzema scored a hat trick and the visitors won the game 3-1. It looked that it will be a cake walk for Real in their home fixture.
However Chelsea fought back hard and at one time they were leading on the aggregate. But, a super assist by Luka Modric brought Real back into the game. At the end of 180 minutes, the aggregate score was 4-4. However in the extra time Benzema scored a header and by the virtue of that goal Madrid qualified for the Semi-Finals.
Chelsea won the game, but lost the tie on aggregate. The team as well as their fans were heartbroken. But, at the end of the day its football, one team will win the other will lose. However the effort matters and the effort which the young Chelsea squad put in this game was marvelous. Everyone is proud of them.
Post Script- Yesterday Chelsea knocked out Crystal Palace from the F.A. Cup and will now face Liverpool in the F.A. Cup final.
