    Seeing as most of Chelsea’s scorers in this fixture last season are all gone just says it all. No consistency, or stability, on or off the pitch.

    Oh, so close!

    If there's anyone you want to find in space in the box for a shot at goal it is Luka Modric. The Croatian goes for the far top corner and gets it only a fraction wrong, clipping the netting.

    This after Vinicius Junior had taken Reece James to the cleaners down the left.

    A delay because the referee's communication equipment on his upper arm needs fixing.

    What's going on? He's called the captains over to talk to them.

    Play is back under way now, not sure what that was about.

    Kalidou Koulibaly is caught out by a big punt forward from Thibaut Courtois. Rodrygo is in behind him and charging in on goal. The big centre-back makes amends, though, getting between ball and man to see off the threat.

    Real Madrid are streetwise. They are happy for Chelsea to have the ball in the wide areas because they know if it gets crossed in then there isn't any aerial threat.

    Joao Felix, on loan from Atletico Madrid, would love nothing more than a goal here. He curls an effort on target from the edge of the box but Thibaut Courtois is right behind it.

    The absence of Osimen from the Napoli squad against Milan (as was evident in their local league where Milan thumped Napoli 4 0 at home) clearly stipulates how much a BIG difference a proper number 9 can make to a team. Something Chelsea owners should be educated on Needless to mention Haaland and Man city

    Fofana is a sitting duck out there. Desperately need to take him off as Vini JR has him on toast.

    Gifting the ball to Vinicius Junior is not the smartest idea but Enzo Fernandes does just that with a loose pass. Fortunately for the Blues, Karim Benzema then gives the ball back to them.

    What do Real Madrid have to do to deserve credit for the high-level team they are? I am baffled most folks choose to ignore they are absolute class. Not even another UCL will shut the haters.

    Chelsea wish they could just fast-forward this 45 minutes to full-time and it still be 1-0.

    They're going to need to put a big shift in here to get this back to the Bridge for a proper showdown for the semis.

    If they can nick one, the Blues are bang in the tie.

    I think Mudryk needs to come on. He hasn't had a great start to life at Chelsea but he's super quick.

    Chelsea have been pushed back as the half has gone on and they need an outlet.

    Yes Chelsea lack a truly world-class striker, but a big part of the problem is nobody else is scoring either - nothing from the wingers or the midfield and nothing from defenders at set pieces. Six or eight goals from non-strikers could have made a huge difference this season.

    Real Madrid have won 29 of their 30 Champions League matches when scoring first under Carlo Ancelotti (D1).

    Ominous for Chelsea, although I'm pretty certain they'd snap your hand off for a 1-0 loss now.

    Since 2003-04, only Barcelona vs PSG in March 2021 (9) have had more shots on target in the first half of a Champions League knockout match than Real Madrid vs Chelsea today (8).

    Strange, because it doesn't feel like it's been a shot-fest.

    Napoli benefitted from a refreshed Osihmen as Nigeria missed out of the World Cup but now international duty has robbed Napoli of his services in the most important CL match ever.

    Real Madrid became dominant as the half progressed and it's the same story again for Chelsea in front of goal.

    Joao Felix had a big chance early on and that could change the way the game plays out.

    Chelsea have hung on in there but the belief looks to have drained out of them as an attacking force.
