(Video) Real Madrid attacker hits Chelsea crossbar following delicious Benzema backheel
Chelsea was almost a goal down inside the first 10 minutes of their crucial Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid.
The Blues will be breathing a great sigh of relief after seeing their woodwork come to the rescue early in the first half against Carlo Ancelotti’s Los Blancos at Stamford Bridge.
A fast Real Madrid breakaway saw attacker Karim Benzema hold the ball up before a spectacular backheel cut open Chelsea’s defense.
Despite having a man advantage, the Spaniards were unable to capitalize as Vini Jr’s effort hit Edouard Mendy’s crossbar.
Vini Jr 😨😨😨😨
