Real played better in the first half.

In the 19th minute, Brahim Diaz’s effort to finish accidentally became an assist for Lucas Vazquez to comfortably tap into an empty net, opening the score for Real. In the 27th minute, Vinicius passed the ball for Brahim Diaz to escape. The former Milan player dribbled past the goalkeeper and scored to double the gap.

It was not until the end of the first half that Chelsea had a goal to reduce the score thanks to Madueke’s header.

In the second half, Chelsea played better. Mudryk came on and together with Enzo Fernandez, continuously stirred up Real Madrid’s defense.
