    ED OF THE PACK

    Edouard Mendy had little to do in the second half at Stamford Bridge, but certainly played his role in the first period with two fabulous saves to deny Karim Benzema.

    The Senegalese goalkeeper has now kept more clean sheets in a Champions League campaign than any other stopper from an English club.

    TWO-TIME TUCHEL

    Having reached the Champions League final with Paris Saint-Germain last season, Thomas Tuchel will be back at the competition's showpiece this year in charge of Chelsea.

    He'll be hoping for a different conclusion this time around.

    MOUNT JOY

    Mason Mount sealed Chelsea's place in the Champions League Final with his late goal, and has just given his immediate reaction to the news at the the full time whistle.

    I can’t put it into words at the moment. It was a great performance because it was tough game. We should have probably had about five – I should have got one 20 minutes before I scored – but the most important thing is we won. However, it’s not over yet – there’s still one game left.

    FT: CHELSEA 2-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 3-1)

    It will be an all-English Champions League final on May 29! Chelsea made hard work of it in front of goal, but tonight's 2-0 victory flatters Real Madrid. The Londoners dominated their La Liga opponents over two legs, and were worth their win here sealed by goals from Timo Werner and Mason Mount.

  • Sam Dymond

    PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
    THE FINAL WHISTLE GOES!
    CHELSEA ARE GOING TO ISTANBUL!

    90+2. In the stands, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi are celebrating already.

    There is nothing but pure joy on the faces of these young Chelsea players.

    90. Four minutes of stoppage time remaining and Real Madrid need two goals.

    They're not going to get them. They've not even come close to one in this second half.

    87. With adrenalin pumping through his body, Mount launches into Militao and adds a yellow card to his goal.

    It's going to be his last act, however, with Hakim Ziyech coming on in his place. Also off is Azpilicueta, replaced by Reece James.

    85. Finally! With five minutes remaining, Mason Mount fires Chelsea to the Champions League final!

    N'Golo Kante is too much for the tired legs of Real Madrid, and once again wins back possession in the Spaniards' half before quickly playing in a teammate.

    It looks as though Christian Pulisic has wasted another opportunity, but the American recovers and then shows great composure in skipping away from Thibaut Courtois, biding his time, and picking out Mount in the middle.

    Catching Eder Militao unawares, the England international darts in front of his marker to steer the ball into the top corner. Cue the celebrations in West London!

    GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!
    MASON MOUNT SEALS THE SEMI-FINAL!!

    83. It only takes one moment, of course, to change the whole complexion of this tie, and it may have nearly arrived there had it not been for Rudiger.

    The Chelsea defender dominates in the air as Nacho swings over a delightful cross in the direction of Rodrygo at the far post.

    81. Havertz drags a half-chance wide, but it hardly seems worth mentioning given the other opportunities they've missed.

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    80. It's been noticeable in the past couple of minutes that Modric is taking a breather whenever his team are in possession.

    Bent over, hands on his knees, the 35-year-old is shattered.

    Are Real Madrid's Champions League dreams about to go the same way?

  • Sam Dymond

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    77. Chelsea's profligacy strikes again.

    Pulisic gets in behind with pace and skill, and then fires over a low cross that Havertz is just unable to reach on the stretch.

    It's no exaggeration to suggest that the Londoners could have had five this evening.

    76. Zinedine Zidane rolls the dice, and lands a 25.

    That's the number of Rodrygo, an attacking player, who is on for Real's defensive midfielder Casemiro.

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    73. Thiago Silva meets a Chelsea corner on the right with a glancing header, and… well, you know the rest.

    Missed.

    72. If you ever want to learn the definition of 'scythed', look up this challenge by Kroos on Pulisic.

    It brings a yellow card for the German midfielder, the fifth caution of the night.

    70. Hazard dribbles himself into trouble, and finds himself under real pressure in his own half with three Chelsea shirts surrounding him.

    The referee's whistle comes to the Belgian's rescue as Kante wins back possession, and the result is a free-kick for the visitors that wasn't merited.

  • Sam Dymond

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    68. A Chelsea change.

    The hero from tthe first leg, Christian Pulisic, is on for Timo Werner. Pace for pace.

  • Sam Dymond

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    65. Argh! Another chance goes begging!

    Chelsea break at pace after Madrid's corner breaks down. It's three-on-one as Werner carries the ball forward, and then slips in Kante to his left.

    The midfielder takes a slightly heavy touch, and that's enough to allow Valverde to block the subsequent shot.

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    64. Maybe those subs have livened Madrid up! A Hazard shot is saved by Mendy, and then the visitors win a corner when Chelsea fail to clear the danger.

  • Sam Dymond

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    63. Finally! Madrid make a double switch with Marco Asensio and Federico Valverde on for Vinicius Junior and Ferland Mendy. Will it change their fortunes?

    CHELSEA 1-0 REAL MADRID (AGG 2-1)

    61. Sparks fly between Nacho and Mount after the Madrid defender is penalised for a foul.

    The Chelsea midfielder is prone on the ground, but gives as good as he gets in battling it out with the Spaniard's knee.

    After some frantic whistle blowing from Daniele Orsato, Nacho is booked.
