Los Blancos walk away from Stamford Bridge with a comfortable lead against the defending champions, but that is not the only thing they can pump their fists for.

The game between Chelsea and Real Madrid left quite a few talking points for fans to discuss, especially if those football fans happen to be Real Madrid supporters.

The Spanish giants walked away from England with a massive win under their belt, but the 3-1 end result means much more for the 13-time UEFA Champions League winners for a bunch of reasons, which we feel inclined to share with you.

First of all, Real Madrid are known as the most prolific team in this competition, beating almost every rival they have run into in this tournament. Well, that was not the case with Chelsea, who they have now managed to beat for the first time in UEFA Champions League history.

As for their coach, Thomas Tuchel, his unbeaten run against Los Blancos has also come to an end.

One of the key members for Real Madrid to accomplish this feat was David Alaba, who had some things to prove in a scenario as big as this one. The Austrian defender has now earned himself a little piece of history with one more UEFA Champions League win in what turned out to be an evening full of records for the Spanish side.

Last, but not least, we have to talk about Karim Benzema. The French player added one more milestone to his tally with his first half brace, but adding one more goal to his UCL history also earned him a spot among the tournament's greats...even among those who used to play alongside him.

Although there are ninety more minutes to be played, it seems that Los Blancos are in pole position to earn themselves a spot in the semi-finals. Only time will tell if they are capable of holding on to their current lead.
