Benzema, a little closer to the stars
We no longer have the words to describe the performance of Karim Benzema.
With his hat-trick, he becomes the first Frenchman to score eleven goals in the Champions League.
He is also the first player in the history of Real Madrid to score 6 consecutive goals for the club in its history in C1.
In short, to put it simply, the captain of the
Casa Blanca
is absolutely Unstoppable.
He takes advantage of the slightest error of his opponents and shows a goldsmith's precision when it comes to taking a ball with his head.
“The difference is today I'm doing a lot more core work and so I find I'm jumping higher than the guys.
Then for precision, it's like in my game,

Theory and practice in a few days.
Courtois intractable against his former team
Asked at the microphone of
Canal +,
the Belgian goalkeeper gave the score of 8/10 to his team's match.
What is certain is that the doorman of Real is no stranger to this good note.
Back at Stamford Bridges, the Belgian was heavily whistled by the supporters of his former club, for whom he played 154 matches, but that didn't stop him from shining and disgusting the Chelsea attackers.
With 4 saves including his formidable opposite hand on the strike of César Azpilicueta in the 50th minute.
The best goalkeeper of the 2018 World Cup also succeeded in his outings on the corner of the Blues.
Only small regret (and that's what is worth the two points preventing them from reaching 10/10) is Kai Havertz's goal conceded just before half-time.
Upon receiving a cross from Jorginho, the German flies higher than everyone else and scores with his head,
FLOPS
The Blues defense completely catastrophic
Before this match, Chelsea remained on 10 clean sheets in 15 Champions League games.
Proof of the defensive solidity of the Blues carried by Antonio Rüdiger, Thiago Silva and Edouard Mendy.
This Wednesday, most players were catastrophic.
Captain Azpilicueta, aligned at the left piston position, had a lot of trouble chaining the races, Thiago Silva sometimes missed his expectations and Christensen was at fault on the first goal.
Finally what about Edouard Mendy and Rüdiger who literally offer the 3rd goal to Karim Benzema a few seconds after the start of the second period.
“
We have to find an end to this period when we concede goals very quickly
”, announces Thomas Tuchel at the end of the match.
Chelsea have conceded 7 goals in their last two matches.
Eder Militao the little worry of the evening on the Real side
Complicated match for the Brazilian defender, probably the only Merengue to have missed his match.
The action that sums up his match took place in the thirteenth minute when he received a yellow card after a tackle to prevent Pulisic from spinning on goal, the American had taken advantage of a totally missed control from the defender.
His passes in the axis made Real supporters tremble several times.
He was replaced in the 64th minute by Nacho who was able to resist some strong moments from Chelsea.
We will have to be more intransigent next week to ensure qualification for the semi-finals.
