Real Madrid: Fans spot Benzema and Vinicius moment before tie winner vs Chelsea

Real Madrid were in real trouble in their Champions League quarter-final tie with Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side looked like they would cruise through after defeating the Premier League side 3-1 in Stamford Bridge.

But Real were outclassed for the vast majority of the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Chelsea opened up a three-goal lead after 75 minutes and it looked as if Real would be knocked out.

However, Real managed to turn the tie around once again.

Rodrgyo’s goal restored parity and sent the tie to extra-time.

Just a few minutes into extra-time, Vinicius Jr ran down the wing and crossed for Karim Benzema to score what turned out to be the tie winner.

Many football fans now think they’ve found the moment when Benzema masterminded the tie clincher with Vinicius.

Before extra-time started, Benzema took Vinicius to one side to give him some instructions.

It’s unknown exactly what was said but Vinicius clearly took Benzema’s advice on board as moments later the two combined to send their side to the semi-finals of the competition.
