Real Madrid, AC Milan ease into Champions League semis

Real Madrid and AC Milan, who between them have been European champions 21 times, have both advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, ending the dreams of Chelsea and Napoli respectively.

Rodrygo scored twice for holders Madrid at Stamford Bridge to give them a 4-0 aggregate win.

In a match of two missed penalties in Naples, one by each side, Victor Osimhen scored late for the hosts but Olivier Giroud’s earlier goal for Milan secured a 1-1 draw to earn them a 2-1 victory overall.

Madrid are now expected to face Manchester City, who defend a 3-0 first-leg lead away to Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Seven-time winners Milan are next likely to meet city rivals Inter, who hold a 2-0 first-leg advantage over Benfica ahead of their second leg in Italy.
