Real Madrid and Chelsea took giant strides towards the Champions League semifinals on Tuesday as they both recorded away wins in their quarterfinal first leg matches, AFP reports.
A double from French striker Karim Benzema inspired nine-time winner Real to a 3-0 victory over Cypriot surprise package APOEL Nicosia and all but ensured a last four spot against the winner of Marseille and Bayern Munich.
A second-half goal from Salomon Kalou gave Chelsea a 1-0 win over Portuguese outfit Benfica — ironically the only side playing on Tuesday that didn’t field a Portuguese player in its starting line-up — to inflict the first home defeat for the host in Europe this term.
