The latest UCL face-off between Real Madrid and Chelsea should’ve been the clash of the titans, but one team was dominating the match from the very first minute. Real Madrid scored an easy win on Wednesday night thanks to Karim Benzema's epic hat-trick. Benzema was on fire in the first half and he never lost steam. He scored two goals within three minutes and didn’t let his guard down in the second half. After Kai Havertz gave Chelsea hope near the end of the first half, Benzema single-handedly destroyed their hopes by scoring another goal and led Real Madrid to a confident 3-1 win. "They're very important goals. I'm happiest to have scored the third as I missed one in the first half and I was thinking about that chance because it's very important to score goals. Then I got another and I'm very happy," said Benzema. Chelsea's defeat on Wednesday adds to a sense of turmoil, about a month after the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich announced he’s selling the club. Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel didn’t address the ownership crises after the match, focusing on the team’s performance instead, saying they were “far off [their] level” against Madrid and that they can play much better.
