Chelsea 2-0 Real Madrid, Champions League: Statistical Review and Analysis
Share this story
Overview
Chelsea laid down a marker with a statement win over the most successful club in Champions League history, and the margin of victory could’ve easily been twice 2-0. Chelsea executed the game-plan — well, except the finishing part — with absolute conviction and blew away a very strong opponent.
Every Chelsea starter brought their A-game. Chelsea created opportunities from almost every scenario — turnovers, set-pieces, set possession play, etc. — and did not give Madrid any time to breathe on the ball. Purely in terms of performance, this was arguably Chelsea’s best outing since the 2-1 win away at Atlético Madrid in 2017-18.
