JAKARTA - Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison gave a heated comment after Chelsea beat Real Madrid 2-0 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night. According to him, Kai Havertz successfully humiliated the Real Madrid defender.
The Blues progressed to the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with a 1-1 draw in Madrid which gave them a narrow advantage on away goals.
They took the lead in the 28th minute through Timo Werner after taking advantage of a Havertz shot that hit the crossbar. Werner heads the ball towards the Real Madrid goal from close range.

Thomas Tuchel's men kept their lead into the first half, thanks in part to two incredible saves from Edouard Mendy between the sticks. The goalkeeper successfully thwarted Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema's chances.

Chelsea then scored his second goal through Mason Mount following the hard work of N'Golo Kante. Winning 2-0 with five minutes remaining, the Blues are already one foot in Istanbul.
As soon as the final whistle sounds, the All-English Final with Manchester City has been decided. Former Liverpool and West Ham star Hutchison then chose Havertz as a man of the match.

Hutchison feels Havertz is a scourge for veteran Los Blancos defender Ramos.
"Extraordinary. No handshake from (Zinedine) Zidane against Thomas Tuchel. He will be very disappointed. Real Madrid is not playing the game ”, said Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 live.
“Kai Havertz is without a doubt the man of the match."
“This is his best match in a Chelsea shirt. He dominated Sergio Ramos. "
However, the Champions League prefers N'Golo Kante as the man of the match leg two semifinals.
