Chelsea beat Real Madrid 2-0 to seal a 3-1 aggregate win over the Spanish side to set up an all Premier League Champions League final against Manchester City.

Los Blancos looked to take the early lead, but Karim Benzema was denied by Eduardo Mendy in the Chelsea goal on a couple of occasions in the opening 20 minutes.

Madrid dominated the ball but Chelsea created the chances and after Timo Werner had a goal ruled offside, he was at hand to head home unopposed on the goalline after Kai Havertz’s chip hit the crossbar.

The Blues then had several chances in the second half but a combination of good goalkeeping from Thibaut Courtois and wasteful finishing kept Zindine Zidane’s team in the tie.

Thomas Tuchel’s team, though, managed to seal the game with five minutes to go as Mason Mount hit the back of the net after being found with a square ball from Christian Pulisic.
