UCL: Chelsea Overcomes PSG On Away Goal …Real Madrid Survives Dortmund Scare
Demba Ba struck three minutes from time to send Chelsea into the Champions League semi-finals on away goals last night
Trailing Paris St-Germain 3-1 from the first leg, substitute Andre Schurrle halved the deficit when he produced a neat first-half finish.
But when Schurrle and Oscar hit the bar straight after the interval, it seemed Chelsea would fall short.
Chelsea were however, not to be denied as Ba stabbed home late to send Jose Mourinho’s side into the last four.
In Germany, Real Madrid held off a determined fight-back by Borussia Dortmund to secure their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Real won the first leg 3-0 and should have put the tie beyond doubt but Angel Di Maria’s early penalty was saved.
From then on, the hosts took control as Marco Reus rounded Iker Casillar to put them ahead on the night.
Reus then rifled in from close range and although Henrikh Mkhitaryan hit the post, Real held on to progress.
