“A headed goal for either side – and all to play for the in the second leg. Jose Mourinho chose Rafael Varane at the back, and Karim Benzema upfront – elsewhere, his side was as expected.

Jonny Evans played at centre-back rather than Nemanja Vidic. Real Madrid dominated in terms of possession, territory and shots – but both sides had chances to win the game.” Zonal Marking

With the tough demands of the Chelsea job, why would anyone want to manage them?” Think Football

On current form or, specifically, current finishing, you would not bet on another Anfield recovery in the second leg.” Guardian
