UEFA CL: Real Madrid KO Woeful Chelsea To Reach Semis

Date:

Real Madrid reached their eleventh UEFA Champions League semi-finals in thirteen years after knocking out the two times winners Chelsea FC.

A second half brace from Brazilian whizz kid, Rodrygo, at the Stamford Bridge ensured 4-0 win for the Royal Whites on aggregate.

Players of Real Madrid celebrate after their side’s victory in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg match between Chelsea FC and Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge.

Frank Lampard became the first ever Chelsea manager not to win any of his first four games in charge of the club in the Premier League era after the match.

Marc Cucurella should have scored just before the half, but a scampering Thibaut Courtois blocked his close-range strike after the Spaniard was left all alone at the far post and the teams went into the break tied 0-0.

Any hopes Chelsea might have had of a comeback were quelled when Rodrygo scored shortly before the 60th minute and doubled 20 minutes later when the Brazilian found the back of the net.

Elder Militao will miss out on the first leg of the semi-final. Real Madrid might face another English opponent in the next round.
