A masterclass from Vinicius Junior, who created both goals, saw Karim Benzema and Marco Asencio score the goals en route to an easy 2-0 win over Frank Lampard’s Chelsea in the first leg.

Lampard’s Blues are in bad shape heading into the fixture having failed to win any of their last seven matches, including three successive defeats which have all come since Lampard too reigns from Graham Potter.

However, it’s going to be another long day at work for Lampard and his boys as they face a Real side that scored three goals the last time they visited Stamford Bridge.

Benzema was the tormentor-in-chief as he scored a brilliant hat-trick to inspire the LaLiga side to an easy 3-1 win last season.
