UCL Semi-finals: Chelsea Beat Real Madrid In 2nd Leg To Qualify For Final

Chelsea booked a Champions League final meeting with Manchester City in Istanbul on May 29 after overcoming Real Madrid 2-0 in the semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Thomas Tuchel’s side go through 3-1 on aggregate and in surprisingly comfortable fashion thanks to Timo Werner’s header from point-blank range in the first half and Mason Mount’s close-range finish late on to set up a tantalising third all-English final.

Werner had a goal chalked off in the 18th minute for straying offside when he tapped in Ben Chilwell’s low cross.

Karim Benzema tested Edouard Mendy with a vicious curling effort into the bottom corner which the Senegalese goalkeeper was forced to tip onto the post two minutes before Chelsea took the lead.

The 2012 winners knew they could look forward to the final when Mount sealed victory from close range in the 86th minute after Kante capitalised on a sloppy Sergio Ramos pass near Real’s own box.
