Despite Being Knocked Out In The Champions League, Chelsea And Mason Mount Achieve Incredible Achievements Against Real Madrid
JAKARTA - Chelsea was eliminated from the Champions League despite a 3-2 win over Real Madrid in the second leg of the quarter-finals, Wednesday, April 13 early morning of Indonesian Western Time (WIB). They lost 4-5 on aggregate to the Spanish La Liga club.
In fact, Chelsea almost made a surprise after winning 3-1 in normal time. However, Karim Benzema's goal in extra time, or in the 96th minute, ruined everything.
Although eliminated, Chelsea at least did not go home with his head down. Thomas Tuchel's troops should be proud of the results achieved at the Santiago Bernabeu.
With this victory, the Blues became the second English team to score three goals at home to Real Madrid, according to Opta. Previously, the same achievement was made by Manchester United in European competition in May 1968!
Not only Chelsea who made a sweet note against Real Madrid, Mason Mount too. He became the third English player to score against Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Previously, English players who had scored against Real Madrid at home were Alan Smith (2001) and Danny Welbeck (2013).
Mason Mount's goal against the hosts also made him one of only two English players to score 20 goals and provide 21 assists for an English club in all competitions. Harry Kane made the same achievement with Tottenham Hotspur last season.
