The first goal has been created now and Madrid excelled through Benzema's goal some time ago.
It will be even more difficult for Chelsea if they can't get out of Madrid's rhythm because looking at the current conditions it seems that Madrid are very comfortable with possession of the ball and the attacks they are carrying out.
On the other hand, with this 1 goal, of course I don't think they will be complacent and this could be the start for a few more goals in a match that is still a long way off at the moment.
yeah right. There's still plenty of time left for the first half which is now in the 30th minute. Chelsea must be able to get out of the pressure of Real Madrid if they are to be able to balance the current position. because overall Chelsea's game is still quite good. but if they let their guard down then of course Real Madrid could score again in this match. first of all Chelsea's front line players need to be more confident to build their attacks to be more aggressive.It will be even more difficult for Chelsea if they can't get out of Madrid's rhythm because looking at the current conditions it seems that Madrid are very comfortable with possession of the ball and the attacks they are carrying out.

The first half is over now and looking at the stats for the first half it seems it was exactly what everyone had predicted.
Madrid is still too strong at the moment for Chelsea, who are still experiencing leaks everywhere. The first half completely belonged to Madrid, whether it was in terms of opportunities or ball possession and of course 1 goal was also a plus in this case.
Having Chilwell and James in the flank to play box-box was a good option and also having Kante lock the midfield was great. What actually was lacking for a natural 9 who is a sharp shooter to convert any opportunity.
In the second half, if Madrid continues to dominate Chelsea, they may get like 2 more goals which will make Chelsea totally hopeless in the returning leg. But for now let's see what Lampard will do with the Chelsea team for the second half of the match.
