Defending champions Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 2-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night.
Chelsea, who were already having a bad day trailing from the 21st minute, were reduced to 10 men in the hour mark after Ben Chilwell was sent off.
Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio were the goalscorers as Madrid take control of the tie with the hope of knocking the Blues out when they travel to Stamford Bridge next Tuesday.
But Chelsea, with new boss Frank Lampard, are trailing by just two goals in the tie, and could overturn the deficit when they play at home in the second leg.
