Chelsea

A curving assist by Luka Modric and an extra-time header by Karim Benzema carried Real Madrid back to the Champions League semifinals.

There were frights: a shot from Jorginho, a header from Kai Havertz. The whole evening, the whole campaign, seemed to hang by a thread. A few people always head to the exits. A few people headed to the exits. Just after halftime, Chelsea’s Antonio Rüdiger scored — a simple goal, a header from a corner, as if all of this is quite easy — and the tie was level. Karim Benzema, scorer of all three of his team’s goals in the first leg, headed Real Madrid into the lead on aggregate with 96 minutes gone. Real Madrid seemed to freeze, as if arguably the most experienced, most grizzled team in Europe was not quite sure what the protocol was in this situation. That was the mood, then, when Luka Modric got the ball, just inside Chelsea’s half, with 10 minutes to play. It is Real Madrid in the Champions League, after all. By the time the final whistle blew, it was so loud that it seemed to be bubbling up from the ground or rumbling down from the sky. This is just what the Champions League does: produce evenings in which Villarreal, a team bobbing just above mid-table in Spain, can knock out Bayern Munich and still find itself overshadowed. It is not even like it is a rarity here. MADRID — The noise rose and swelled with every second that ticked, changing timbre and tone as it did so.

After an instant classic at the Bernabéu, it's Real Madrid that's going through, while Chelsea is left to confront its uncertain future.

The introduction of Eduardo Camavinga, as it had against Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round, allowed Madrid to compete more in midfield. Madrid had been reeling for five minutes before Antonio Rüdiger headed in a right-wing corner, his first ever goal in the Champions League coming at a vital time. There was perhaps an element of fortune in the kneed volley that laid Mason Mount in to sweep the first goal beyond Thibaut Courtois after 15 minutes, but if any Chelsea player was due some good fortune it was Timo Werner, scorer of the 75th-minute goal that gave Chelsea a 3–0 lead on the day and 4–3 edge on aggregate and he who delivered the assist on the opener. Either way, there was a reaction on Saturday with the 6–0 win league over Southampton. It continued Tuesday. This was a much sharper, more aggressive Chelsea, and Madrid struggled to deal with it. But on a night of collapses and comebacks in the Spanish capital, Real Madrid, as it is known to do on the European stage, found the necessary resolve and the necessary goals just when it needed them. Chelsea’s press, reconstituted after a shaky week, successful stifled Madrid until it got level in the tie, at which point Madrid at last began to play.
