Real Madrid saw off an inspiring Chelsea fightback to book its place in the Champions League semi-finals following a 3-2 defeat after extra time in a brilliant second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday to go through 5-4 on aggregate.
Chelsea had looked on course to complete an astonishing comeback after taking a 3-0 lead in its quarter-final second leg with goals from Mason Mount (15’), Antonio Rudiger (51’) and Timo Werner (75’).
However host Real Madrid replied strongly with Rodrygo (80”) finishing from a superb pass by Luka Modric to level the tie 4-4 on aggregate and force extra time when Karim Benzema (96’) headed home to decide a remarkable encounter.
