He didn’t… get lost by the menacing Chelsea and with a “hot” Rodrigo, Real Madrid left for the semi-finals!

Finished the job in London and stamped her ticket for the “4” of the Champions League Real Madrid!

THE Chelsea presented itself more menacingly welcoming the Madrilenians in the rematch of the 2-0 “Bernabeu”. However, she did not take advantage of the great opportunities, to see the guests punishing her twice with him Rodrigo (58′, 80′) which also had a crossbar (20′), to double their victories with again 2-0 and leave for the semi-finals. Where they will logically meet her Manchester City (they beat Bayern Munich 3-0 in the first match).

He was yellowed and will not play in the first semi-final o Militao.

The match:

Chelsea entered the game with an aggressive attitude, taking control early on. The visitors waited behind the ball, aiming both to steal it and go quickly on the counter attack. However, at the same time they showed a lack of concentration. After all, this is how the first big chance of the “blues” was created, in the 11th minute. After a turn from the right and counter, the ball reached OLOMONACHO Kante, who did not catch the shot well, seeing the ball go just wide of the left post.

Real is completely harmless. Until the 20th minute, when he roared “present”, with Rodrigo meandering into the area, catching a cross, only to see the ball stop at the left post.

However, the Madrid players were not caught by their moment. Chelsea continued to threaten, getting their second huge chance just before the end of the first half. In particular, at 45’+1′, the “blues” made a good move by getting “off” the opposing defense, with Koukoureya being all alone on the opposite post. The Spanish full-back took the shot, but Courtois presented his body imposingly, to then receive the hugs of his teammates.

More or less the same scene in the second half. Chelsea was trying to threaten, like in the 52′ with Kante or in the 57′ with Havertz. Of course, not only did he not find the back of the net, but he saw Real punished for their inefficiency, in the 58th minute: A quick counter-attack with Rodrigo, who broke to Vinicius, who returned to him and opened the scoring from close range.

Lampard threw his attacking weapons into the match (Felix, Sterling and Mudric instead of Gallagher, Fernandez and Cucoureya), but without being able to change anything dramatically. Besides, the low tempo didn’t help. In fact, Real came closer to the goal towards the end. And he found it!

And if in the 75th minute Vinicius was late in the counterattack, in the 80th minute Valverde – after making an amazing catch of the ball – broke to Rodrigo, who scored in front of an empty net for the final 0-2.

Watch the match live here.

MVP: Scorer of both goals, while he also had a crossbar (example of the fact that in today’s match he was the most dangerous from Real’s side). It doesn’t need much discussion either. The distinction will go to Rodrigo. However, credit can also go to Courtois, who never allowed Chelsea to get into the game.

The compositions of the two teams:

Chelsea (Frank Lampard): Kepa – Fofana, Thiago Silva, Saloba – James, Kante, Enzo Fernandes (Sterling 67), Kovacic, Koukoreja (Mundrick 68) – Gallagher (Joao Felix 67) – Havertz (Mount 77).

Real Madrid (Carlo Ancelotti): Courtois – Carvajal (81′ Nacho), Ender Militao, Alaba (46′ Rudiger), Kamavinga – Valverde, Kroos (76′ Dani Tebagios), Modric – Rodrigo (82′ Asensio), Benzema (71′ Tswameni), Vinicius.
