THE NOTEBOOK: Karim Benzema shows big spender Todd Boehly what a real No 9 can do... while N'Golo Kante can't run forever and Rio Ferdinand and Glenn Hoddle are snubbed by Real Madrid fans

Real Madrid put one foot into the semi-finals of the Champions League with an assured 2-0 victory over Chelsea at the Bernabeu.

Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio in each half ensured Carlo Ancelotti's side continued on their path to retaining their crown.

Chelsea, under the tutelage of Frank Lampard following Graham Potter's sacking earlier this month, are pinning their hopes of taking part in this competition next season by winning it this.

However, for much of the evening they looked second best, with their toothless forward line struggling to lay a glove on Real Madrid before Ben Chilwell was sent off for hauling down Rodrygo.
