Chelsea are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in seven years, after goals from Hakim Ziyech and Emerson gave them a 3-0 aggregate win over La Liga's leaders.

It was sweet revenge for the Blues against Diego Simeone's side, who had seen them off at the semi-final stage in 2014 after a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge, but in many ways last night Chelsea beat the Spaniards at their own game, defending resolutely and scoring with two swift and deadly counter-attacks.
