The visitors put in a famous shift at Stamford Bridge as their star striker netted a hat-trick
Real Madrid overwhelmed Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday as Karim Benzema again proved the most dangerous man on the pitch.
The forward notched a hat-trick in a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge and has his side on the brink of the semi-final.
Kai Havertz scored for the Blues, but they were otherwise wasteful as they chased the game, with substitute Romelu Lukaku producing perhaps the worst miss.
Villarreal vs Bayern
Villarreal are at home to Athletic Bilbao in their next LaLiga outing on Saturday before the return leg against Bayern on Tuesday. Julian Nagelsmann’s side are in Bundesliga action against Augsburg on Saturday at Allianz Arena.
Villarreal secure a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash. Arnaut Danjuma scored the only goal of the game in the eighth minute, steering a scuffed strike from Dani Parejo past Manuel Neuer. Francis Coquelin had a second disallowed for offside after a VAR check, while the home side also came close on a number of occasions to adding to their advantage, none more so than Gerard Moreno, who struck the post. The Spanish side will take a slender lead to Allianz Arena, where they will be bidding to clinch a place in the semi-finals.
