Thomas Tuchel slammed referee Szymon Marciniak for “smiling and laughing” with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti after his Chelsea side were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Real Madrid's most experienced stars came to the party as they overcame a tough challenge vs Chelsea to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 5-4 aggregate win over the two legs played. While Karim Benzema hit a late winner to cement his side a place in the last four state, midfielder Luka Modric wasn't far behind as he assisted Rodrygo brilliantly for their team's opening goal of the night. Having gone down 1-3 in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea took a commanding 3-0 lead and looked comfortable towards securing a semi-finals place. However, Rodrygo's inch-perfect finish to Modric's genius assist helped Real Madrid stretch the game to extra-time, where Benzema sealed victory in the 96th minute.

After scoring a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge, Benzema then stepped forward to claim the winner, the Frenchman capitalising on a Rudiger slip to head in, a 3-2 defeat enough to see Madrid into the semi-finals.
