Real Madrid's 2-goal Rodrygo full of pride after victory at Chelsea

Rodrygo was full of pride after his double saw Real Madrid defeat Chelsea 2-0 in London.

The result sees Real Madrid reach the Champions League semifinals 4-0 on aggregate.

Rodygo said: "I still don't know how to explain how the Champions League makes us all react and perform but I have to say that it's very special indeed.

"Whenever I play, my only intention is to help my team. Now I want to keep playing - and scoring - and I want to win more Champions League trophies.

"When I scored, my immediate reaction was to think about doing one of those knee slides but I've got a slightly tender knee when I flex and so it popped into my mind to copy my idol, Cristiano, and copy what he does. It's such a pleasure to be at this great club - the best in the world.

"Courtois saved us when we weren't initially finishing our chances and now we'll wait to see whether it's City or Bayern we face next."
