    Rodrygo cheers, Chelsea mourns

At Real, the danger came mainly from Vinícius Júnior. The Brazilian first shot goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga’s fists after half an hour. In the 41st minute, Vinícius was close to scoring again, but he did not process the ball well after a cross from Luka Modric.

Double strike Rodrygo

Rodrygo also hit the outside of the post on behalf of Real and Karim Benzema shot into the side net after a cross from Federico Valverde from a difficult position. Kanté missed another chance after the break and then the number two in Spain struck.

On a pass from Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo scored, shortly after rushing past Trevoh Chalobah. Chelsea never recovered from that blow. The 0-2 also came to the name of the handy Brazilian Rodrygo: he scored after a beautifully played attack and preliminary work by Valverde.
