Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior says victory was deserved after their 2-0 Champions League win against Chelsea.

Real won the first-leg on the quarterfinal thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio. Ben Chilwell also saw red for the visitors.

Vini Jr said, "We played very well indeed, pressing all the time just like we did at this stage last season. This was one of our best performances of the season. But this is only half-time. There's a lot left in this tie. We just need to keep calm heads.

"There were lots of spaces for us to push into and, obviously, being Real Madrid we always want to score more goals. We know that an away game against Chelsea can be difficult. Now we just rest a bit and keep a clear head.

"Any player who wears this shirt for Madrid knows how special the Champions League is. Especially in the Bernabéu with this fanbase behind us. They light up for this competition. If you play for Madrid you have to be driven by the hunger to play in and win the Champions League."
