Trailing 2-0 from last week’s clash in the Bernabeu, Chelsea had their moments but failed to take their chances in the opening half and at the start of the second and were made to pay as Rodrygo sent the silky Spaniards through.
He opened the scoring in the 58th minute and tapped in again in the 80th to spark a mass exodus of Chelsea fans.
N’Golo Kante had twice come close to cutting the deficit and Real’s former Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois made a crucial save just before halftime to frustrate his old club.

And when Rodrygo finished off a sweeping counter-attack there was no way back for the London club who have lost all four games since Frank Lampard returned as interim manager.
Contrary to Chelsea’s situation, Real Madrid are in the 2nd position in La Liga. However, they are 11 points behind Barcelona as they have lost points a total of 10 times in the league. Their performance in other competitions have been phenomenal though. This season, they have met Barcelona 5 times and consecutively lost thrice to them, but they won against them in the Copa Del Rey semi-final.
Real Madrid defeated them 0-4 at Camp Nou which knocked Barcelona out of the competition. They are also travelling to London for the quarter-final second leg with the confidence of a 0-2 away win in their back. They will also have the upper hand as they scored twice against Chelsea in the first leg. Hence, another progression in the competition could be in store for Los Blancos on Tuesday.Real Madrid Form in All Competitions
The closing stages were almost academic and Real turned on the style with Federico Valverde teeing up Rodrygo’s second.
While Chelsea’s season will end trophy-less under their new American owners despite a 500 million pounds ($621 million)outlay on new players, 14-times European champions Real march on with manager Carlo Ancelotti eyeing the trophy for a fifth time.
Manchester City lead Bayern Munich 3-0 heading in to their quarter-final second leg on Wednesday.
