Real Madrid defeats 10-man Barcelona in the Champions League. Chelsea wins 2-0, while Milan defeats Napoli.

It was Benzema’s 90th Champions League goal, with the previous 11 coming all against English teams. Chelsea, led by caretaker coach Frank Lampard following a disappointing season, came close to scoring in the first half, but Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling were denied by Madrid custodian Thibaut Courtois, who was playing against his former club.
Ben Chilwell was shown a straight red card in the 59th minute for bringing down Rodrygo with a tug of the Brazilian’s shirt while he was bearing down on goal, effectively ending the Londoners’ chances of getting back into the game.
After only three minutes on the pitch, Asensio was fed by Vinicius on the edge of the box and drilled in a low shot that went through the legs of Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana and beyond Kepa’s dive.
The victory at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium puts the 14-time European champions in command ahead of the second leg on April 18 at Stamford Bridge. Benzema, who scored a hat-trick in London last year before adding another in a 5-4 aggregate thriller in Madrid, could have effectively seen off Chelsea in added time at the end of the second half when he headed over with the goal at his mercy after Kepa could only punch the ball as far as him.
Mason Mount, a Chelsea substitute, then came close to scoring a crucial goal for the Blues when he turned and shot in the penalty area, but former teammate Antonio Rudiger, who came on off the bench, raced in to block.

Lampard embraced Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, himself an ex-Chelsea manager, at the final whistle after returning to Stamford Bridge for a second stint as coach until the end of the season after Graham Potter was fired this month.
They’re a very good team, but we have to believe, Lampard told BT Sport ahead of the return leg in London next week.
