The Real Madrid will not be in the end of the Champions . Or what is the same, the duel between Zidane and Guardiola that many expected. Yes to beto Tuchel that for the second consecutive year will be in a Champions League final. On this occasion he will do so in front of a Chelsea that together with City will star in an English final, like two years ago. Chelsea is just a finalist because in the two semifinal games it was better than Real Madrid, who kept hope thanks to the English failures against the goal than because of the Whites' merits.
Real Madrid came to London with the obligation to win. Y Zidane had a plan. The French decided to surprise with Vinicius as a right-winger in a team that came out with three center-backs, including Sergio Ramos, and looking for Vinicius to be a pylon hammer for his band. In his head, his plan was wonderful, but on the field it did not work. Vinicius it did not create danger in attack but in defense and Chelsea took advantage of it.
Although all the white evils weren't just Vinicius. Hazard neither was nor expected and Mendy You could tell that he had just come out of an injury. Apart from that, the whites had a hard time and it helps to overcome the defense of a Chelsea very well planted defensively and that was looking for the cons with Havertz and Mount as protagonists. With only that, Chelsea made life impossible for a slow Real Madrid, without ideas and incapable of generating real danger. Yes, Kroos and Modric they shot twice on goal, but they cannot be counted as chances. Yes it was Werner's who scored in the 17th minute, but his goal was disallowed for offside.
The minutes went by with Courtois going back to being the savior a couple of times and waiting for inspiration from Benzemto. And it came in the 26th minute when the forward took out of nowhere a shot from the front that Mendy, Chelsea's goal, sent a corner kick with a great save. Real Madrid seemed to have appeared, but it was a mirage because three minutes after Benzema's shot, Werner's 1-0 for Chelsea arrived. Kanté He decided to stop nonsense, received a ball in the spinal cord and with hardly anything he got rid of all the apathetic defense of Madrid. Kanté gave the ball to Havertz who raised the ball over Courtois, the ball hit the crossbar and Werner, completely alone, he waited for the rejection to score. More uphill the final was put for a Real Madrid that had the tie in a header of Benzema what it looked like a goal, but the hand of Mendy to avoid it. It was the last serious attempt by the whites in a first half in which Chelsea knew what they were playing, quite the opposite of Real Madrid.
Mount sentence
With that 1-0 the break was reached and everyone expected that Zidane change some of the white mess. But no, it remained the same and that meant that the final in Istanbul receded with every minute that passed, quite the opposite of Chelsea, where the crossbar prevented H's 2-0avertz as soon as the second act begins. It was not the only clear occasion for Tuchel's team that, as in the first leg, they could not beat Courtois qHe was still wearing his superhero dress and that gave hope to a Real Madrid in which at game time, Zidane decided to remove Mendy and Vinicius for them to enter Valverde, that prevented a goal from Kanté, Y Marco Asensio. Tuchel's response was to put Pulisic, the white nightmare at Di Stéfano.
Those of Zidane, very tired, they kept hope more for the result than for what he was doing and the coach decided to remove Casemiro and enter Rodrygo looking for more gunpowder upstairs. The white hopes ended in minute 85 with the 2-0 of Mount who took advantage of a play by Kanté and Pulisic. Zidane, more facing the gallery than anything else, gave entrance to Marianor by Hazard in the 89th minute, but Real was already sentenced. Now, he only has the League to save the season.
