Real Madrid's 'confidence overdose' almost cost them against Chelsea in Champions League epic - Inside Europe
Real Madrid are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League – an outcome that perhaps was to be expected after their 3-1 win over Chelsea in the first leg at Stamford Bridge. What was not expected however was the manner of their progress, eventually sneaking through in extra time after the Londoners almost pulled off the most miraculous of comebacks after taking a 3-0 lead to stun the Bernabeu. Ad/> Ultimately, a late Rodrygo strike and Karim Benzema’s extra-time winner saw Real go through 5-4 on aggregate despite being comfortably second best for the entirety of the second leg, including the extra half an hour when they sealed victory.
