Welcome it’s Raj from 3CB.
Real Madrid central defender Éder Militão put on an absolute defensive clinic in the team’s 1-1 1st leg Champions league semifinals draw vs Chelsea, accounting for four clearances, three interceptions, and an incredible seven total tackles (for reference, the highest per 90 in CL is only 2.4!) – particularly critical with how high of a line Madrid were playing.
Lets go through key skills & highlights of his defensive masterclass.
To top it all off, he also assisted on Karim Benzema’s leveling goal.
Incredible performance overall & one injured captain Sergio Ramos would be extremely proud of.

Totally agree. More people should be taking about how good Militao was against Chelsea.
