On Tuesday night, Chelsea and Real Madrid go head to head in the Champions League quarter-final first leg, with Los Blancos holding a commanding 2-0 lead following goals by Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
In the home leg of the tie, Benzema scored the opening goal via a rebound from a Vinicius Jr shot. This was one of three shots on target that Benzema managed in this match.
Real Madrid forward Vinicius is regarded as one of the best players in the world at present, and it is easy to see why, as the 22-year-old has 21 goals and 16 assists to his name this campaign.
Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling is perhaps one of the Blues' most likely goal threats alongside Joao Felix and will be pivotal to any chance that Frank Lampard’s side have of causing an upset. Sterling has scored three goals and created on assist in eight Champions League matches this season.
Marc Cucurella has struggled to live up to his price tag since making the switch from Brighton to Chelsea in the summer transfer window. The Spaniard has received five yellow cards this season and arguably made a large part in Ben Chilwell’s sending-off at the Santiago Bernabeu due to a lapse in concentration.
Victor Osimhen is a key player for Napoli, having scored 25 goals in 30 matches across all competitions. The ex-Lille striker had three shots on target in his last Champions League outing against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer committed two fouls in AC’s first-leg victory, while midfielder partner Rade Krunic also committed the same number of fouls.
As previously mentioned, Osimhen has scored 25 goals in 30 matches across all competitions, while teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has found the back of the net 14 times, while creating 16 assists in 34 matches.
In terms of yellow cards, Rade Krunic has been shown eight yellow cards in 24 appearances, while Sandro Tonali has received ten across 37 matches in all competitions.
