Following Karim Benzema's hat-trick at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were long shots to reach the semi-finals. Nonetheless, Timo Werner has provided them with the opportunity to do so.

Chelsea started brightly and led by a goal after only 15 minutes through Mason Mount, unseating the Santiago Bernabeu. Chelsea, on the other hand, continued to improve, with Antonio Rudiger scoring a 2-0 lead just six minutes into the second half.

It was not until then that Real Madrid began to assert themselves more, resulting in an intriguing confrontation. Chelsea had to deal with more pressure from the hosts as the game opened up, but could also benefit from the additional space available. Marcos Alonso came close when he finished into the top corner with his right – only for the goal to be disallowed after it was discovered that he had touched the ball accidently.

Chelsea, on the other hand, continued to press forward, and when Timo Werner was delivered through on goal, he maintained his cool under pressure. Werner made it 3-0 on the night and put the Blues ahead 4-3 on aggregate by taking out two Real Madrid defenders and beating Thibaut Courtois in the process. Real Madrid's Rodrygo has brought a goal back for them, and the game is currently heading to extra time.
