Chelsea and Real Madrid shared the spoils as Christian Pulisic’s opener canceled out in superb Karim Benzema’s over-head kick in a pulsating UEFA Champions League semi-final.
Chelsea started the match on the front foot and dominated in the first 25 minutes, creating plenty of chances and exposing Real Madrid’s wing backs.
The Blues created plenty of openings and Timo Werner was guilty of missing clear sitters once again. However, a moment of genius from Christian Pulisic ensured the Blues secured a crucial away goal in the tie.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, struggled for much of the first half. It required a sensational finish from Karim Benzema to draw level.
Eden Hazard did come on against his former side in the second half, but the Real Madrid winger did not have any telling impact on the game.
The second leg will be coming up at Stamford Bridge next, and it would be interesting to see if Real Madrid decide to start with Eden Hazard or leave him on the bench once again.
Here are some hilarious reactions from last night’s 1-1 draw between Chelsea and Real Madrid…
