Real Madrid v Chelsea: Champions League quarter-final second leg – live! |

Chelsea have been much the better side and fully deserve their lead on the night. They’re not letting go of their trophy without one hell of a battle. Plenty of work for Carlo Ancelotti to do during the break.

45 min: James floats the free kick into the Real box, where Rudiger wafts a header harmlessly wide. There will be one additional first-half minute.

44 min: Kross bundles over an in-flight Werner, 35 yards out in a central position. Free kick for Chelsea, and the hosts really could do with hearing that half-time whistle.

43 min: Loftus-Cheek is good to continue. “How does someone who was mediocre at best on loan at Fulham seemingly play well in a Champions League quarter final?” wonders Richard Hirst of the same man.

41 min: Loftus-Cheek barrels down the right and loses a 50-50 fight with Vinicius. He crashes to the floor. A livid Tuchel wants a free kick, but it’s not forthcoming. The game’s stopped, though, as Loftus-Cheek doesn’t get up. He might have winded himself when hitting the turf at pace.

40 min: Vinicius has the ball at his feet on the edge of the Chelsea D. There’s briefly an opportunity to shoot, but with Kroos and Benzema both screaming for the ball, he’s caught in three minds. Chelsea clear their lines.

38 min: Havertz slides in on Nacho, and is fortunate to escape a yellow card, having clipped his opponent’s heel from behind. The home fans aren’t happy with that, either.

37 min: The local mood isn’t helped when Benzema is booked for catching Silva in the face as the pair contest a high ball.

36 min: This is all Chelsea. They’ve been wonderful so far, pressing Real hard, keeping them penned in their final third. The hosts are struggling to retain any sort of possession.

34 min: Rudiger decides to take a punt from 30 yards. He sends a fierce shot sailing well wide of the right-hand post. Courtois had it covered.

32 min: … so having said that, Real enjoy their first spell of possession up the field for a good while. Modric suddenly instigates a one-two with Benzema on the edge of the box … but as he shapes to meet the return pass with a shot, Casemiro gets in the way and has a go himself. Over the bar it goes. Modric is not best pleased.

30 min: Real are struggling to get out of their own half. They’re finding the Chelsea press extremely troublesome. The visitors are controlling this.

28 min: Kovacic latches onto a loose ball, 30 yards from the Real goal, and has a dig. The ball disappears high into the stand. Chelsea look the most likely to get the next goal right now.

26 min: Mount and Loftus-Cheek combine well down the right, a cross causing a mild kerfuffle in the middle before being cleared. The Bernabeu is a little anxious. Chelsea have done a good job of getting the Real crowd to pipe down.

24 min: Vinicius nearly skins James…
