Chelsea-Real. As in the first leg, Real Madrid won 2-0 (4-0 on aggregate) against Chelsea after a double from Rodrygo. Madrid eliminate the Blues and qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
23:35 – End of the live!
Thank you all for following the Chelsea – Real live! As a reminder, the people of Madrid qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League after a 2-0 victory in England thanks to a brace from Rodrygo. See you soon on L’Internaute.com for other news.
23:30 – The summary of the match
A lack of efficiency that will have put an end to the hopes of the Blues! Author of a thunderous start to the match with commitment, high pressing, N’Golo Kanté could have concluded this beautiful period but the Frenchman crushed his recovery from the left too much, which spun next to Courtois’ cages. If Real were discreet, Rodrygo gave Chelsea the first warning after a huge strike on the left post from Kepa. Enough to sound the alarm but on returning from the locker room, the Brazilian destroyed London’s ambitions by scoring his first goal of the evening (58th minute of play) with a shot from the left in the heart of the Kepa area. Yes, because there will be a second ten minutes from the end (80th minute of play) after a superb collective action by the real Madrid concluded with a shot into the empty goal of the Madrid right winger. Thanks to this great performance where the Merengue will have been little worried despite a few chances from the Blues such as Cucurella’s strike before half-time and Courtois’ huge save, Carlo Ancelotti’s players will once again see the semi-finals of the Champions League.
23:25 – A record for Real
By qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League tonight after a fine victory against Chelsea (2-0, 4-0 on aggregate), Real Madrid reached this stage of the competition for the 11th time in the last 13 C1 editions. A record.
23:20 – Camavinga “Hasta the final!”
At the microphone of our colleagues from Canal +, Eduardo Camavinga returned to Real Madrid’s performance as well as his position as a left-back: “We are happy not to have conceded goals. The great players we have are used to play great matches like this. We don’t doubt ourselves. As they say, Hasta the final!” (On his left full-back position): “No, still not (laughs). The most important thing is to help the team, so today I’m still doing it. But, again, it’s not my job.”
23:15 – Still no victory for Lampard
Since his arrival on the Blues bench to replace Graham Potter, Frank Lampard has played four games with Chelsea and as many defeats. The end of the season will be long for the London club which will not play in the Champions League next year.
23:10 – Los Blancos will know their opponent tomorrow
By winning this evening, Real Madrid validated their qualification for the UCL semi-finals. The people of Madrid will have to wait until tomorrow evening and the quarter-final return between Manchester City and Bayern Munich to know their opponent in the last four of the Champions League.
11:00 p.m. – Real qualified for the UCL semi-finals
After this 2-0 victory this evening at Stamford Bridge, Real Madrid validates its ticket for the semi-finals of the Champions League. The people of Madrid won after two goals from the Brazilian Rodrygo who punished the Londoners for lack of efficiency.
22:53 – It’s over at Stamford Bridge (0-2)!
Chelsea FC had rather control of the ball but were sorely lacking in efficiency. At the end of this quarter-final, possession of the ball was certainly in their favor (52% against 48%), but it was Real Madrid who managed the most shots on target (7 against 5) and especially who finishes with the advantage at the mark (0-2).
22:49 – Three minutes of added time
Three extra minutes of play were added to regulation time in the second period.
22:47 – Mudryk does not fit
Found behind Nacho, Mudryk presents himself against Courtois but the Ukrainian crosses his shot too much which ends his race to the right of the Madrid goalkeeper’s cages. Eventually, the winger ended up offside.
22:46 – Double change at Real
After Rodrygo’s second goal, the Brazilian gave way to Marco Asensio as Nacho replaced Dani Carvajal.
22:42 – Valverde’s altruism!
What a collective action from Real Madrid! An action to show in all football schools. After a long phase of Madrid possession, Rudiger finds Vinicius in depth who serves Valverde in the back. After hooking Thiago Silva, the Uruguayan faces Kepa before serving Rodrygo who only has to push the ball into the empty goal.
22:39 – And two for Real Madrid thanks to Rodrygo (0-2)!
Rodrygo scores a new goal for Real Madrid, which increases their lead in the 80th minute of play in this 2nd half, at Stamford Bridge. Londoners are forced to react and quickly!
22:37 – Ceballos enters the game
With almost ten minutes remaining, Toni Kroos has just made way for Dani Ceballos.
22:35 – The Mudryk Festival
After picking up Vinicius as the Brazilian sped towards goal, Mykhailo Mudryk controlled the ball well on the ensuing attacking phase. The Ukrainian got rid of Carvajal on control before striking but his attempt flew into the stands at Stamford Bridge.
22:33 – What a save from Camavinga!
After a good recovery, João Felix escapes and goes on the counterattack. If he uses Kai Havertz’s call to transplant towards the center of the field, the Portuguese sees his pass for Sterling intercepted by Eduardo Camavinga. What anticipation from the French!
22:30 – Benzema leaves
Rather discreet in this return confrontation, Karim Benzema gives way to his compatriot Aurélien Tchouaméni. A strong choice for Carlo Ancelotti who decides to strengthen his midfield.
22:28 – Triple change for the Blues!
As we approach the 70th minute of play, Frank Lampard made three changes: João Felix, Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk came on in place of Conor Gallagher, Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella.
22:26 – Benzema misses the 2-0!
After a festival from Vinicius in the Blues area, the ball arrives at the feet of Karim Benzema who takes over with his left foot but Kepa easily seizes the ball as the Frenchman’s shot lacks power.
22:24 – Fernandez stumbles on Courtois
At the entrance to the Madrid area, Enzo Fernandez volleys a ball but Thibaut Courtois, vigilant, boxes the ball well.
22:22 – Rodrygo’s goal on video
Relive Rodrygo’s goal on video for Real Madrid. Note the celebration of the Brazilian who pays tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo.
22:17 – Rodrygo unblocks the counters in London (0-1)!
This goal from Rodrygo allows Madrid to lead 1 to 0, in the 58th minute in this 2nd half. The counters are unlocked at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea FC is now under pressure!
22:16 – Fernandez and Havertz come up against Courtois
After an off-target shot from Enzo Fernandez, Kai Havertz crushes his shot which ends up in the gloves of Thibaut Courtois.
22:14 – Militao close to expulsion
After a deep pass for Chalobah, the English defender collapses after being grazed by Eder Militao. If the Blues demand a second yellow card, Daniele Orsato whistles a simple fault.
22:12 – Another big chance for Kanté
Once again, N’Golo Kanté finds himself in the Madrid area and takes a volley but it is deflected for a corner by Militao.
