Rodrygo was at the double as Real Madrid booked their spot in the Champions League semi finals with a smash and grab 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Carlo Ancelotti’s holders were far from their best but made the hosts pay for their failure to take a raft of good opportunities when Rodrygo fired in from close-range just shy of the hour and then again 10 minutes from time as the visitors claimed a 4-0 success on aggregate.
