Chelsea fell to a heart-breaking 5-4 aggregate loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final after two legs.
Most of the damage was done in the Stamford Bridge leg with manager Thomas Tuchel saying that his side needed a "perfect script" if they were to progress to the semi-final stage. And it so nearly was perfect as the Blues were 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu and arguably should have had four after all of Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger, Timo Werner and Marcos Alonso scoring great goals.
The latter of the quartet's goal though was ruled out for an adjudged handball despite former referee Peter Walton claiming that there wasn't enough evidence for the VAR to overturn it. Once that moment happened coupled with Rodrygo's remarkable goal to level the tie once more, Karim Benzema's inevitable moment came in extra time as he a lapse in concentration allowed Los Blancos to deliver the final blow.
