    GOAL - Real Madrid 1-0 Chelseapublished at 20:23 British Summer Time 12 April 2023

    Karim Benzema

    The big man can't miss!

    It is a simple ball over the top from Dani Carvajal that undoes Chelsea. They can't track Vinicius Junior, whose volley is kept out by Kepa but only to present an open net to Karim Benzema.

    It's one of the easiest Champions League goals of his career.

    Chelsea having to dig in now. That midfield five has morphed into a back five, with Reece James and Ben Chilwell firmly in defensive mode.

    Federico Valverde is the legs in the midfield three for Real with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos happy to sit.

    He made 20 yards with that run before slicing over.

    Chelsea have been a little bit careless over the last few minutes.

    Wesley Fofana has some task on his hands with Vinicius Junior here. The Brazilian is charging at him repeatedly. The Blues defender is already on a booking too. He'll need help from Reece James on that right side.

    Chance!

    Real are just starting to impose themselves on the contest and after winning the ball in midfield Federico Valverde fires a rising shot high and wide.

    AC Milan 0-0 Napoli

    Not sure this was the best choice here.

    Napoli come forward and Mario Rui, 45 yards out, I can't tell if he's trying to play a through ball or shoot. It goes wide anyway, whatever it was.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Chelsea

    Vinicius Junior goes down in the box after Wesley Fofana dangles in a boot to try and tackle him. The home crowd scream for a penalty, the referee lets play continue.

    Chelsea will have quite a lot of good opportunities but if they don’t take them, Real Madrid can switch on in a minute

    Osman, Glasgow

    Chelsea look much more fierce, confident and direct without Havertz. Hmmmm.

    Chelsea need to watch out for the combination play between Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr.

    They are so dangerous.

    It is no shock to see Real looking to get the ball as quickly as possible to Vinicius Junior so he can have a run at Reece James. There latest driven pass to the forward brings them a corner that Chelsea deal with well. Kalidou Koulibaly with the clearing header.

    AC Milan 0-0 Napoli

    I'd wondered if Napoli would be spooked by their 4-0 defeat by Milan a week and a half ago but not a bit of it. They are putting the hosts under relentless pressure. Giovanni di Lorenzo's cross can't find anybody in their latest attack.

    First shot for Karim Benzema.

    He exchanges passes with Rodrygo on the edge of the Chelsea box before seeing his low effort blocked by Thiago Silva.

    Napoli are some team. Right-back Giovanni di Lorenzo puts his second header wide of the game so far.

    AC Milan 0-0 Napoli

    Napoli have had five shots already with none for Milan. Make that six as Piotr Zielinski hammers in a thunderbolt from 25 yards which is palmed over the bar.

    Chelsea have looked promising in the opening 10 minutes. All the serious chances have come their way. They're starting to look confident on the ball too.

    AC Milan 0-0 Napoli

    Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gets the ball on the left, drifts into the box, plays a one-two with Eljif Elmas and has a shot which is deflected wide.

    It has been a really bright start from Chelsea. I think Frank Lampard will be delighted.

    Raheem Sterling is being really direct against Eduardo Camavinga who isn't a natural full-back.

    Ben Chilwell wastes the free-kick, curling it high over everyone in the middle and out of play. Poor stuff.

    I don’t think Madrid have realised the game has started. They haven’t switched on yet.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Chelsea

    The referee quickly evens it up for bookings as Edouardo Camavinga slides in late on Raheem Sterling near the edge of his own box. It earns him a yellow and gives the Blues a chance to deliver a dangerous free-kick into the box.
