In a night of dominance, Chelsea crushed the life out of Real Madrid, winning 2-0 to qualify for the Champions League final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues came into the night with the away goal advantage and after an even 20 minutes, took control and choked the life out of the tie to secure their place in an all-Premier League Champions League final.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the players rated at Stamford Bridge:<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Edouard Mendy – 8 – <\/strong>Made two absolutely colossal saves at 0-0 to keep Karim Benzema out.<\/p>\n

Andreas Christensen – 8 – <\/strong>Absolutely immense; three tackles, two clearances and three interceptions.<\/p>\n

Thiago Silva – 8 – <\/strong>A throwback display from the Brazilian. A game-high five clearances.<\/p>\n

Antonio Rudiger – 8 – <\/strong>As dominant as he was in the first-leg. No Real Madrid player could do anything in the face of his absurd combination of pace, power and phenomenal defensive technique.<\/p>\n

Cesar Azpilicueta – 8 – <\/strong>A captain’s display from the Chelsea skipper as he worked to shut down Real Madrid’s favourite attacking channel.<\/p>\n

N’Golo Kant\u00e9 – 9 – <\/strong>On a day when Warner Bros. were said to be looking to make a film about a black Superman, N’Golo Kant\u00e9 showed why he is the best choice to play the Man of Steel. Absolutely everywhere defensively, rescuing team-mates from Madrid’s players. But that is standard, what was so incredible tonight was Kant\u00e9’s offensive output.<\/p>\n

Both goals came from Kant\u00e9’s superbly intelligent play. On the first he spun and dribbled through the Madrid midfield as if he were Andr\u00e9s Iniesta, evading tackles before sliding a perfect pass in to Kai Havertz (who should have scored). Then, on the second, he roared forward to steal the ball from a sloppy Madrid and yet again register a pre-assist with a deft pass to Mount.<\/p>\n
