Good night, bad night: A night to forget for Koulibaly and red carded Chilwell

Chilwell will now miss the second leg at Stamford Bridge but has also wasted an opportunity for his own career.

Good night 

Benzema: It was only a tap-in, pouncing after Kepa had saved from Vinicius Junior, but that of course is why Karim Benzema is such a remarkable goalscorer – he’s always in the right place at the right time. This was his 90th Champions League goal, edging him closer to the likes of Lewandowski, Messi and Ronaldo, the only men ahead of him. It was also six goals in five games against Chelsea, so don’t rule out another at Stamford Bridge next week, even if by his standard's this was a low-key night. This is a player who, having won the Ballon d’Or in 2022 is as confident as he’s ever been. The only blip was a last-minute miss which could have made it 3-0.
