Stats reveal one player Chelsea have to stop to incapacitate Real Madrid

Karim Benzema is the Real Madrid talisman who Chelsea must shackle if they're to stand a better chance of beating La Liga leaders on Wednesday.

Benzema is firing from all cylinders this term, with 54% of Real Madrid's goals coming through him.

It's amazing that Benzema has scored 34 goals for the Whites this season already, plus 13 assists - 47 goal contributions in 35 games.

Impressively, over 75% of Benzema's goals have turned out to be match-winners.

He banged in a hat-trick in the last Champions League round to dump out PSG, who had the likes of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi on parade.

As we should remember, it was this same Benzema who scored a worldie against Chelsea in the semi-final first leg in Madrid.
