The chilean striker, the founder of the goalkeeper psychology department, after the Champions League real madrid away to Chelsea in the early morning of April 7, French striker Benzema was installed with two titles. Not only did he score a hat-trick in the match, but he also managed to turn Chelsea's champions goalkeeper Edouard Mendy into Donnarumma, Karius and Ulreich. Originally, those three were still a little lonely, but now with Mendy, they can finally put together a table of mahjong.
After the game, Chelsea manager Tuchel directly used a "NO" as an answer when asked if the team could still qualify. He said the team would continue to lose to Southampton at the weekend if they played like this, and then go to the Bernabeu to be hammered again. Obviously, the German coach's mentality is a bit broken.
In the Premier League last weekend, Chelsea suddenly collapsed after an advanced goal, losing 4-1 to promoted Mabrandford. In that game, they only had 2 shots on target from 24 feet, while the little bees on the opposite side scored 4 goals with 6 shots. With a crushing blow to face the formidable La Liga leader, chelsea players were clearly a bit out of shape in this game. Although they also tried to put pressure on Real Madrid with high pressing, but it did not form a group advantage, Real Madrid easily cracked it with three passes and two passes and hit the ball to the front, Vinicius and Benzema connected, who easily headed the goal. This goal was conceded, and the Blues' back Kante's restrictions on the Real Madrid midfield were obviously insufficient.
Just when the Blues players were in a state of shock, Real Madrid's second goal arrived, Valverde held the ball and pushed forward, Modric crossed at the first time, the 34-year-old Benzema showed a strong waist and abdomen, he shot a backward head into the far corner, and Mendy, who was 1.9 meters tall, did not reach the ball despite his efforts to stretch his body.
After conceding two goals in a row, Chelsea began to calm down, and their attack began to show its power, in the 39th minute, Reece James knocked back from the right, Jorginho cleverly picked a pass into the box, Havertz grabbed a nod and broke the goal to pull back a goal, and the Blues saw the hope of overturning.
However, in the first minute of the second half, Eduardo Mendy was suddenly possessed by Karius, and his cross after the attack was weak and weak, and the empty goal was snatched by the actively scrambling Benzema, and this goal was completely lost, which made Tuchel, who had just been replaced with Kovacic and Ziyech, a 4-guard who was ready to fight back. Then Cheek and Lukaku came on, and Chelsea were already a dead horse. After Romelu Lukaku missed a great header in front of goal, the Blues' home defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Frankly, the defeat was all-encompassing, with Tuchel's opening three-centre-back formation putting More Pressure on Therith James on the right, which led to right-back Christensen having to face Vinicius' onslaught more alone, while Benzema was able to single out Thiago Silva, who was three years older than him. With that, the back of Kante is one or the other, he has to assist in defending two sides, to catch the ball in the backcourt to complete the offensive and defensive conversion, but also to help Thiago to limit Benzema, multiple tasks make Kante tired of running and the result is not a good job.
In the second half, Tuchel made an adjustment, Kovacic and Ziyech came out to replace Kante and Christensen, and the Blues changed to four defenders, which would have been a good adjustment, after all, the score was 1-2. But Edward Mendy's inexplicable mistake left Chelsea 1-3 behind. The team was demoralized in an instant. This kind of depression of bad luck superimposed on it made Tuchel, who was already worried about divorce, also chaotic. Gamble said that the flip was not a play. Of course, this can be regarded as a kind of knock on the Chelsea players, but for them who have recently suffered from internal and external troubles, a warm encouragement may be more effective. After all, the Blues are facing not just a Benzema, but a powerful Champions League 13th title.
