Chelsea did what seemed impossible and completed his comeback in Madrid.
After Karim Benzema’s hat-trick at Stamford Bridge, there were long odds for Chelsea to reach the semi-finals. However, Timo Werner has given them the opportunity to do just that.
Chelsea started well and had a fine goal after just 15 minutes through Mason Mount, upsetting the Santiago Bernabeu. But Chelsea went from strength to strength, taking them 2-0 up just 6 minutes into the second half through Antonio Rudiger.
Real Madrid didn’t start moving forward until then, which made the confrontation interesting. With the opening game Chelsea had to deal with the increasing pressure from the hosts but could also take advantage of the extra space available. Marcos Alonso almost did, finishing the top corner with his right – only to have the goal disallowed after it was revealed he had inadvertently touched the ball in the process.

Chelsea continued to advance, and when Timo Werner was sent into goal, he showed expert composure. Werner sat on the Real Madrid defenders and beat Thibaut Courtois, making it 3-0 on the night and putting the Blues 4-3 on aggregate. The match is currently heading into extra time, after Rodrygo slipped with a goal for Real Madrid.
