Real Madrid vs Chelsea: 5 players who will decide the first leg
Real Madrid CF Karim Benzema
We are talking about players from Real Madrid who can be decisive in a big game, and how can we even think of excluding the legendary Karim Benzema from this list. He has been Real Madrid’s chief goalscorer and most clutch outfield player (emphasis on the word outfield) since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, and he is someone who can single-handedly win the game for Real Madrid.
He has been simply unstoppable this season, scoring 34 goals and assisting another 13 in 2980 minutes in all competitions this season. Forget about being the best player for Real Madrid and in LaLiga, he has been the best attacker in Europe this season. The latest hat-trick against PSG in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League is only a testament to the man’s brilliance and proof of his extraordinary season.
He will definitely be the player to watch out for, in the first leg against Chelsea on Wednesday, having scored a total of 7 goals in his last three games. Even Chelsea knows how dangerous a player he is, having conceded a magical goal from the Frenchman last year.

Benzema had scored that goal from a set piece, but this time he would like to score more than one. Real Madrid’s on-field captain would want to find a solution to open the lock of Chelsea’s defense, take complete control of the proceedings, end the game with a scoreline that is in favor of his team and leave his mark on the game.
