Chelsea's season ends with a whimper as Lampard's plan delivers hope vs. Madrid, but no goals

LONDON -- Real Madrid eased into the Champions League semifinals with a 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, sealing a 4-0 aggregate win over Chelsea.

N'Golo Kante wasted a superb chance in each half with the score 0-0 on the night as the Blues attempted to rally, but a classic Real counterattack saw Rodrygo race clear of the hosts' defence before eventually converting from close range. Rodrygo then added a second 10 minutes from time as Real cruised to another last-four appearance, where they will face either Bayern Munich or Manchester City.
