Rodrygo leads Real Madrid to Champions League semi-finals with stunning brace against Chelsea
Rodrygo’s brace led Real Madrid to a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, securing their spot in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Brazilian had been criticized for his lack of finishing in recent times, but he showed his abilities on the big stage.
This season has marked a major step in Rodrygo’s development, and he is on the cusp of being a regular starter. His performance against Chelsea will only bolster his chances.
Rodrygo’s celebration also caught attention, as he emulated his idol Cristiano Ronaldo. However, due to a knee issue, he had to adjust his celebration and ended up copying Ronaldo’s moves instead.
While Chelsea’s elimination from the Champions League leaves them with only pride to play for, Real Madrid is still in contention for both the Copa del Rey and Champions League titles. They will face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final and await their next opponent in the Champions League, which will be either Manchester City or Bayern Munich.
