Chelsea only needed two goals from Timo Wener and Mason Mount to confirm their qualification for the Champions League final slated for May 29 at Istanbul.

They defeated Real Madrid on goals aggregate of 3-1 in the Champions League semi-final tie, with the second leg at Stamford.

The £120million shelled out by Roman Abramovich on the German attacking duo of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz came good as they combined to send Chelsea towards their first Champions League Final in nine years, against Manchester City on May 29.

Then Mason Mount, the peach of Chelsea’s rich recent academy crop, poached a late second which confirmed their passage to Istanbul.

Real Madrid, those emperors of European football, may have bossed possession on their first ever visit to Stamford Bridge.

But Chelsea created the majority of the chances, defended with vigour when they needed to, and richly deserved their victory over the two legs.

Chelsea missed chances in Madrid and they squandered a heap of them in the second leg here, keeping this semi-final on a knife edge until the final minutes.

There was a staggering 18th clean sheet in 24 games under Tuchel – and his Blues are now starting to click more seriously in attack, even if their finishing still needs sharpening.

After Chelsea ended City’s hopes of a quadruple with their FA Cup semi-final success last month, England’s Oil Firm will now meet again in Turkey for the biggest prize in club football.
