Yesterday Real Madrid hosted Chelsea in a fascinating fixture in the Uefa champions league last eight stage.
Chelsea came into this match with a deficit of two goals after losing at home by three goals to one and they needed to win by three goals and a clean sheet to qualify. The blues worked miracles when they scored three required goals despite the fourth being disallowed by VAR and were 15 minutes away from qualifying when 36-year old Madridsta Luka Modric pulled a magical out foot assist to Rodrigo Goes who scored a consolation and much needed goal.
The match ended 3-1 in favour of Chelsea at full time and 4-4 on aggregate thus heading into the extra time.In the 6th minute of the extra time Karim Benzema scored the goal that sent Madrid into the semis on aggregate of 5-4.In the other fixture Villarreal frustrated Bayern Munich by forcing them to a 1-1 draw in Germany. Villarreal came into the match with a goal lead and wanted just a draw to qualify. Bayern scored early in the second half but a late stage. by Villarreal’s substitute S. Chukweze in the 88th minute ensures that the game ends at full time.
Today two more fixtures are scheduled to take place one in England where Liverpool will host Benfica and the other match in Spain where Atletico Madrid will welcome Manchester City. Liverpool have a two goal advantage and a draw or any win will confirm their qualification while the fellow countrymen come into this match with a one goal win thus a draw or any win will push them to the next stage
