Timo Werner and Mason Mount both scored to help send Chelsea into the Champions League final and a showdown against Manchester City with a 2-0 win over Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday that gave the club a 3-1 victory on aggregate in the semifinal.
German striker Werner, who has endured a campaign of stops and starts in his first season with Chelsea, put the home side in control with one of the easiest goals of his career when the ball landed at his feet in the 28th minute after fellow German Kai Havertz struck the bar.
Madrid, a 13-time European champion, was also the lesser of the two teams in the first leg, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
