Mason Mount is the first English player to score in a Champions League semi-final since Wayne Rooney on 26th April 2011.
One of Cobham’s finest.
Thomas Tuchel is the first manager in European Cup / Champions League history to reach back-to-back finals with two different clubs.
And he’s already knocked Pep out of one cup this season.
It could and should have been much more comfortable, but no-one of a blue persuasion will care too much. Aside from the finishing, this was a superb performance from Chelsea, worthy of doing what it has – securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League final.

A night in which Madrid were thoroughly outclassed, and truth be told, that was the situation across both legs. They rode their luck and were still, somehow, in the game coming into the second-half this evening, but their formation and selection gamble really did not pay off. A deserved defeat for a tired-looking team who will come again, but perhaps needs a refresh and reboot this summer.
