Chelsea are just 25 minutes in to their Champions League quarter final tie against Real Madrid, but theyβre already two goals behind.
It was two sublime headers from Karim Benzema that did it, one all power and the other all placement. Thereβs genuinely not much you can do about goals like that.
We knew he was the danger man, but there was nothing our back 3 could really do.
You can see the goals in the clips embedded here:
