Real Madrid advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with a convincing win over Chelsea
In an emphatic display of superiority, Real Madrid secured a comfortable 4-0 aggregate win against Chelsea to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The game at Stamford Bridge saw Brazilian forward Rodrygo score twice in the second half to seal the victory for the Spanish giants.
Chelsea, who had hoped to overturn a two-goal deficit, were left disappointed by their lack of cutting-edge and finishing skills. Despite recording 19 goal attempts during the match, the London club failed to score even a single goal, marking their fourth successive defeat across all competitions since the appointment of interim manager Frank Lampard.
The result has ended a disastrous season for Chelsea, who are now out of contention for a top-four finish and will most likely miss out on participating in Europe's premier club competition next season. The club's poor return on the £600 million spent under owner Todd Boehly's stewardship in the past 12 months has called for major changes to be made in order to restore the team to its former glory.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will look to continue their impressive run in the Champions League, with their sights firmly set on the final. With their convincing performance against Chelsea, they have demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with in the competition.
