Christian Pulisic Powers Chelsea to Draw with Real Madrid in UCL Semis Leg 1

Real Madrid and Chelsea played to a1-1draw in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal on Tuesday at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano in the Spanish capital.

Christian Pulisic opened the scoring for Chelsea, but Karim Benzema canceled out his goal in the 29th minute. While the two teams are level, the Blues' away goal could prove important in the second leg.

Pulisic's season hasn't gone totally according to plan as injuries and the arrivals of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech have made it difficult to carve out a place in Chelsea's starting XI.
