Chelsea went out of the Champions League with a whimper as Real Madrid coolly dispatched them with another 2-0 victory in their quarter-final clash.
Los Blancos earned a 4-0 aggregate win following a victory by the same scoreline on home soil last Wednesday, with Frank Lampard failing to mastermind an almighty comeback. The Blues had plenty of chances, with Marc Cucurella spectacularly denied by Thibaut Courtois in the closing stages of a positive first half as far as the hopeful hosts were concerned.
Hpwever, it felt like only a matter of time before Carlo Ancelotti and co punished Lampard's men and in the 57th minute they did, as Rodrygo finished off a ruthless attack. The Brazilian bagged another in the dying embers, inflicting Lampard's fourth successive defeat since being appointed interim manager and ending the contest, making it Chelsea's worst run of form in 30 years.
