Chelsea crashed out of the Uefa Champions League with a loss to Real Madrid as Rodrygo’s double handed the Blues a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard’s side needed to overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit to have any hope of salvaging silverware from a torrid season, but Rodrygo’s opener, a close-range strike after a quick Madrid slump (58), ended the tie.
The Brazilian then added his second goal of the night with another simple finish after Federico Valverde had danced through Chelsea‘s static defence (80), the goal silencing Stamford Bridge, underlining Madrid’s dominance and setting up a potential semi-final against Manchester City, who hold a 3-0 first-leg lead over Bayern Munich.
