In the 14th minute of the match, Mount broke the deadlock on the field.
In the 50th minute, Rudiger's header was credited.
In the 63rd minute, Marcos Alonso's goal was blown away. There was a huge controversy about the ball, because the ball bounced back twice in a row before it hit Alonso's body. Moreover, his hand was in front of him. Could it be that the referee came with a "mission"? No, according to the latest handball rules, a foul is awarded as long as the attacking player handballs in the penalty area and scores a goal.
In the 74th minute, Werner scored.
In the 80th minute, Modric assisted Rodrigo, who had just debuted for 2 minutes, scoring a goal.
After that, the two teams did not score, with Chelsea winning 3-1. However, the overall score was 4-4, so it had to play extra time.
In the 97th minute, Vinicius assisted Benzema's goal.
In the end, Real Madrid turned the aggregate score to 5-4, eliminating Chelsea to advance to the champions league final four. The opponent will be the winner of Manchester City and Atletico.
In the 2005 Champions League final, AC Milan was pulled 3-3 by Liverpool with a 3-0 lead at halftime. In the penalty shootout, Milan lost. The manager of Milan at that time was Carlo Ancelotti.
