Two times Champions League winners Chelsea crashed out at quarter finals stage to holders Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge to a 2-0 defeat.
The London side needed to score two goals to have a chance to move to the semi-final stage of the competition. Rather Frank Lampard’s side slumped to a second half double from Rodrygo, which effectively ended any hope of winning any sort of silverware this season. Chelsea team buoyed by the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge, looked like they were going to pull up an upset.
Their inability to convert chances was their greatest undoing, giving Carlo Ancelotti’s side an easy passage to the semi-final stage setting up a potential match up with Manchester City, who hold an advantage against German giants Bayern Munich with a first-leg 3-0 lead.
