When everything seemed to indicate that the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea, for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, would end with a 1-0 score, Rodrygo appeared again to score another goal at Stamford Bridge. The Brazilian took advantage of a great pass from Federico Valverde to make it 2-0 in favor of the 'merengues', who are already thinking about the semifinals of the European tournament.
The celebration of the Brazilian international was not going to end with the 1-0 score. In the 80th minute, Federico Valverde took advantage of a ball from Vinicius Junior and ran towards the opponent's goal, where he found Kepa, who could only watch the 'merengue' goal.
The Uruguayan midfielder, when he was ready to score, chose to pass to Rodrygo so he could seal the quarterfinals. Thus, the South American striker scored his brace and secured the final ticket for Carlo Ancelotti's team.
Real Madrid vs. Chelsea: what's next
After the match at Stamford Bridge, Carlo Ancelotti's team will focus again on LaLiga Santander. Their next match will be against Celta de Vigo for the 30th round of the Spanish league. The match is scheduled to be played on Saturday, April 22 at 2:00 p.m. (Peru time).
