A Karim Benzema unstoppable and a Bayern Munich unrecognizable. This summarizes an intensity champions league evening, during which Real Madrid shone in Chelsea while Villarreal surprised Bayern Munich, Wednesday, April 6th.
Magistral, extraordinary, extraterrestrial, galactic … The titles of the Spanish press are probably not going to miss superlatives to qualify Karim Benzema, author of a service XXL in Chelsea. At Stamford Bridge, French taught the stars and dropped new records. By shaking Edouard Mendy’s nets three times, the former Lyonnais became the first French player to register more than ten goals in a C1 season (11). A record that has been holding since season 1958-1959 and the ten achievements of Just Fontaine.
Demolition company
Additional proof, if it took one, of the performance of the French striker Wednesday evening: Chelsea had until then won all his home champions league games this season, without taking any goal. But facing Real, the blues were dominated, especially in the heart of the game, where N’Golo Kanté and Jorginho were overwhelmed by Madrilenian field media and including Casemiro, author of a superb performance. While the players of Thomas Tuchent reached the opposing surface with difficulty, Real Madrid has fully exploited the depth and spaces left by Chelsea to take the lead thanks to his captain.
And even if Kai Havertz has reduced the gap to the score in first period, Karim Benzema took over his London club demolition business on the return of the locker rooms, taking advantage of an Edouard Mendy mistake, too feverish on a control. With fresh blood and a spirit of rebellion, blues have just tried to come back to the score, but without success. Chelsea bows for the first time in her story against the Merengue, and will face them at Bernabeu stadium with two goals late in the game back.
Perfect copy for Villarreal against Bayern Munich
In the other game of the evening, Villarreal created the feat by winning at home against Bayern Munich (1-0). The men of UNAI Emery have doubted the Bavarians with a goal of Arnaur Danjuma at the e Minute, before doing totally thwart the victips winners of the competition throughout the game. Unrecognizable, Bayern players have never found the solution to solidarity and exemplary defense. The yellow submarine has even managed to make the best scorer of the competition, Robert Lewandowski (12).
The addition could have been more salty for a febrile Bavarian team, like his guardian Manuel Neuer, guilty of a bullet loss in the middle of the field, who could have been converted to Villarreal if the GERARD MORENO’s lob had not missed the target. Intenable, Gariers Francis Coquelin and Giovanni Lo Celso also had their chance to score, without doing it. With this short defeat, the Bayern Munich retains his chances of qualification but can be happy to have only one goal to catch up in the game back.
