Going into the game, nobody really expected Chelsea to get anything at the Santiago Bernabeu. Did they?
Well, not this Chelsea side anyway. As brutal as it sounds, it's the reality at the moment. That's summed up by N'Golo Kante starting his fourth consecutive match under four different head coaches. Things are not right at the moment.
It doesn't take a genius to work that out. Real Madrid are European royalty and for a reason. That was showcased on Wednesday night. It was always going to be. Chelsea's job was to make it as hard as humanly possible for Los Blancos and ensure the tie wasn't over by the time they fly to London next week.
