Real Madrid’s Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez breaks Atletico Madrid hearts

REAL MADRID 1 ATLETICO MADRID 0: Holders Real Madrid reached for the Champions League last four by beating neighbours Atletico Madrid 1-0 in last night’s super tense quarter-final second leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The game seemed set to follow last week’s first leg in finishing 0-0, but Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez broke the deadlock by turning in Cristiano Ronaldo’s assist with just two minutes remaining, sending the holders into a fifth consecutive semi-final.

It was again ‘derbi’ Champions League heartbreak for Atletico, who were angry at referee Felix Brych for sending off visiting midfielder Arda Turan for two yellow cards with the game still goalless.
