In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how the Brazilian prodigy shone under pressure and how Chelsea’s dreams of reaching the final were left in tatters.
Chelsea has been eliminated from the Champions League semifinals after losing to Real Madrid 2-0 in the second leg. In an overall 3-1 aggregate, Real Madrid moves on to face Manchester City in the final. Despite a strong start from Chelsea, they failed to take advantage of their opportunities and Real Madrid took control of the game. Brazilian forward Rodrygo scored two goals in the second half to seal the victory. Chelsea, who have struggled in the Premier League this season, were hoping to win the Champions League to salvage their campaign. However, their hopes were dashed by a clinical Real Madrid side.
