CF/SS BENZEMA

Substitutions: Nacho for Éder Militão (63 mn - Injury), Camavinga for Kroos (74 mn), Bale for Benzema (85 mn) and Ceballos for Valverde (85 mn - Injury)
Notes: Valverde was in theory the RWF in the formation, but that was only in attack; when Real gave away the ball possession, he retreated in defense, mainly helping Carvajal to not get overwhelmed by Chelsea's Azpilicueta and Pulisic (later Mount), almost like a second RB, but ingame, this should be settled by assign him the RMF/CMF/DMF role
Around the 57-60 mn mark, Éder Militão suffered an injury and couldn't continue the game, while a substitution was been prepared, Casemiro filled the right CB role until Nacho was called up to play
Dani Ceballos was placed as right AMF/RMF
