Chelsea complicated the series for Real Madrid

With a 1-1 draw, Chelsea complicated the semi-final of the Champions League for Real Madrid. With a goal from Christian Pulisic, the English team opened the scoring in the 14th minute. Karim Benzema leveled the match before half an hour into the game, but it's still hard not to see this draw as a defeat for Madrid.

Despite the vast majority of analysts favoring Chelsea due to this result, the team's manager, Thomas Tuchel, classified it as "disappointing".

The return leg will be on Wednesday next week in London. The winner of this match will face the winner of Manchester City-Paris Saint Germain.

Manchester City took the lead against PSG

Despite Marquinos giving the French team the lead early, City managed to come back with goals from Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez. “There were two different halves, we did well in the first one, but it is difficult to eliminate a team like City. We deserved to be ahead, but they were better than us and dominated the second half, ” said Mauricio Pochettino DT of PSG in an interview.

The next game between these two teams will be played on May 4.
