Real Madrid player ratings vs Chelsea: Rodrygo leaves Blues reeling as terrific Thibaut Courtois silences the boos

Rodrygo was at the double, while Thibaut Courtois turned in an imperious goalkeeping performance in a 2-0 victory over Chelsea that sent Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals.

Courtois came up big in the first half, denying Marc Cucurella with a fine diving stop to maintain Madrid's 2-0 aggregate lead from the first leg.

Madrid willingly soaked up Chelsea pressure in the second half before scoring a signature counter-attack goal. Rodrygo started the move with a darting run down the right, before finishing it as Vinicius Junior laid the ball back into his path.

Rodrygo added a second 10 minutes from time, latching onto Federico Valverde's pass and simply walking the ball in from three yards out.

This was far from the vintage Madrid performance of years past, but Los Blancos grabbed their goals and were largely untroubled at the other end in a comfortable win.
