Uefa Champions League: Chelsea 0-1 Porto

Chelsea are into the Uefa Champions League semi-finals in spite of a 1-0 loss to Porto in the second leg of their quarter-final tie tonight.

Goals from Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell fixed a 2-0 first-leg away win for Chelsea, placing Thomas Tuchel’s Blues in firm control of the challenge.

Due of Covid-19 restrictions between England and Spain, the two ties were held at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville – however Chelsea had two away goals to protect this time around.

Porto worked for extensive period but gave themselves hope with Mehdi Taremi’s exceptional bicycle kick in injury time, but Porto couldn’t score the second goal to force extra-time.

Thomas Tuchel has been entrusted with winning silverware quickly at Chelsea, with Frank Lampard’s ruthless sacking a reminder that Roman Abramovich won’t agree to anything less.

After completing as a runner up with PSG last season, the German tactician is presently into the last four with Chelsea, where they will face either Real Madrid or Liverpool.
