Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell was shown a straight red card at the Bernabeu 59 minutes into Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid.

Chilwell was sent off for denying Rodrygo a clear goalscoring opportunity after he pulled his shirt just outside of the penalty area.

Rodrygo was visibly delighted with the decision made by French referee Francois Letexier.

The Brazilian winger celebrated by giving Federico Valverde a high-five and then waving his arms to encourage the crowd.

Real were leading 1-0 when Chilwell was sent off, after a goal from Karim Benzema in the first half.

Real scored again 15 minutes after Chilwell's dismissal when substitute Marco Asensio fired home from 19 yards.

The reigning champions will take a 2-0 lead into the second leg at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday.
