+++ UPDATE +++
Chelsea FC follows Manchester City into the final of the Champions League - and they deserve it.
Thomas Tuchel's eleven are the better team over 90 minutes and give Real Madrid the fatal blow in the 87th minute.
The many missed opportunities do not take revenge in the end because Los Blancos don't even come dangerously in front of Chelsea's goal in the second half.
Timo Werner contributed significantly to the victory with his goal, the best man on the pitch was probably Antonio Rüdiger.
Kai Havertz also performed well, so that Tuchel managed the masterpiece: He is in the final for the second time in a row - with different teams.
Final whistle! It is official! For the third time in the club's history, Chelsea have made it to the finals of the premier class. Real Madrid is out.
93rd Minute:
The last minute is breaking and it's clear: Chelsea are in the final of the Champions League!
90th minute:
Real Madrid now have to score two goals - the game seems to be decided.
Ramos and Co. are already hanging their heads.
There is four minutes of stoppage time.
87th Minute: TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR for Chelsea! The redeeming hit! The blues give Real the fatal blow. Pulisic went right through again, then waited until Mount was in position to finish. He serves the Englishman, who finally keeps the slipper clean.
84th minute:
Tuchel has to tremble for another six minutes!
His team is very close to making it into the final.
81st Minute:
Now Chelsea withdraws a bit and lets Real come.
In the second half, however, Los Blancos did not create a scoring chance.
79th Minute:
Amazingly little comes from Real.
They look for the gap, but every time a player in the blue jersey is there.
Is Werner's goal enough to get ahead here?
76.Minute:
Pulisic cannot be stopped on the outside, Havertz only missed his cross by centimeters.
The blues don't reward themselves for appearing.
74th minute:
Chelsea is always a step faster.
Thomas Tuchel's team is playing a great game - only the exploitation of chances is catastrophic.
73rd Minute:
Toni Kroos sees yellow for an over-hard boarding.
Rightly.
71st Minute:
Pulisic with a strong run over the right, but his flank is easy prey for Courtois.
68th Minute:
Chelsea have to be careful, because Real also comes into the penalty area of the Londoners from time to time.
But mandatory degrees are in short supply.
67th Minute:
Timo Werner has finished work, ex-Borussia Christian Pulisic comes for him.
This means that Chelsea does not lose any speed.
65th minute:
And the next top-class!
After winning the ball in his own half, Werner ignites the turbo in the direction of the opposing goal, lays down on Kanté - but even he does not manage to overcome Courtois.
The Belgian keeps Real Madrid in the game with great saves.
62nd Minute:
Real Madrid does not know anything else than to help with fouls.
They are now getting increasingly rough - Nacho gives Havertz a nasty kick and rightly sees yellow.
You can even think about red.
59th minute:
That doesn't exist!
Havertz and Werner run towards Courtois all alone.
Havertz does it himself, also because Werner doesn't really offer a good run - and fails because of the Belgian.
The game could have been decided long ago, but in front of the goal it is already grossly negligent.
It's unbelievable what the Tuchel-Elf leaves behind!
56th Minute:
Antonio Rüdiger makes an outstanding game.
At the back he doesn't let anything burn, he pushes forward again and again with dangerous runs.
The Blues are clearly better, but at least one goal is still missing to reach the final.
One standard is enough, a Sergio Ramos header - then everything is open again here.
54th minute:
And the next big chance for Chelsea!
Werner cleverly sticks through on Mount, who rolls the ball freely over it in front of the gate.
It's like in the first leg - they don't take their chances!
Will that be punished by Real?
51st Minute:
Anyone who expected a real offensive here is wrong.
The English determine the game and let the opponent run with precise passes.
And they keep coming close to Courtois: Thiago Silva heads the ball just over it.
48th minute:
Latte!
Chelsea will be dangerous again soon - and how.
Havertz's header lands on the crossbar.
Not much was missing to make it 2-0.
The second half kicked off! In the first leg, Real Madrid equalized in the second half - today too?
Half-time - This first half flew by - no comparison to the tough kick from the first leg.
There were chances on both sides, the goal of the day has so far been scored by Timo Werner.
Chelsea keeper Mendy saved twice against Karim Benzema and kept his box clean.
The Blues were always dangerous and had opportunities for a second goal.
Real has to come up with something for the second half!
Halftime! Orsato asks the actors into the cabin.
44th Minute:
Chelsea countered, Havertz dribbled into the penalty area, but couldn't get past Ramos.
He has to make more of that - but still a good performance by the German.
43rd Minute:
Chaos in the Madrid penalty area, at the end Werner comes back to a conclusion.
Courtois sure has it.
41st Minute:
It’s about to go into halftime.
Is there anything else going on here?
Both teams are fighting with open sights, the game could tip in either direction.
But one thing is clear: the Spaniards are under pressure.
38th Minute:
The ex-Gladbacher Andreas Christensen is now going into the duel for the third time in a rustic style.
Referee Orsato has seen enough and shows the Dane yellow.
34th minute:
Benzema again, Mendy again!
The French headed against the direction of the goalkeeper, but he had his fingers on it again in time.
Is Eduard Mendy going to be a real shock today?
31st Minute:
After Real dominated the first few minutes, the Londoners quickly found their way into the game.
First Benzema had a great chance, then Werner scored.
Advantage Chelsea - however, the Madrilenians are already in extra time with one goal.
Nothing has been decided yet, the game is even.
28th minute: TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR for Chelsea! Timo Werner makes the goal! And it's a German co-production. Kai Havertz hits the bar with his artful lob, Werner then nods the rebound into the goal. The blues lead thanks to two DFB stars!
25th minute:
Outstanding parade from Mendy!
Benzema with a precise turning shot from 16 meters that would have fit exactly.
But Mendy steers the thing around the post in full stretch.
Sensational act.
18th minute:
Werner hits!
But he's on the sidelines.
Chilwell serves the German who is a foot's length too far ahead.
Correct decision.
15th minute:
Modric!
The Croat comes in a good shooting position from 20 meters.
But the conclusion is too harmless.
The game is picking up speed.
14. Minute:
Werner appears for the first time.
The national player brings the ball half way up in the middle on Kai Havertz.
But again Ramos is in between.
11. Minute:
Mount with a strong single action!
He leaves three Real players on the left and then looks for Timo Werner in the middle.
Ramos' leg is in between.
8th minute:
Chelsea FC sees the ball almost never before.
Maybe that is part of Tuchel's plan, but the 80 remaining minutes can still be long.
Kroos from a distance with the first conclusion of the game.
6. Minute:
Real Madrid determines the initial phase.
With a three-way chain under construction, they always manage to outplay Chelsea's first line - that looked different in the first leg.
3. Minute:
Eder Militao makes two careless mistakes in the initial phase and looks insecure.
The trained central defender has to play on the right side today.
Kick-off! The ball rolls. Who will follow City into the final?

Champions League: Marcelo flies to London - Tuchel's second chance
London - New chance for Thomas Tuchel: After losing the final with PSG against FC Bayern *, the coach can now move into the final with FC Chelsea *.
After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, the starting position is good, but the opponent is Real Madrid *.
There was excitement before the game around Real star Marcelo, who had drawn the unfavorable lot of helping out as an election worker in the local elections in Madrid.
The law says: If a citizen of the city is selected, he must also fulfill this civic duty.
Los Blancos feared he might not be available for the game in London because of this - and tried in vain to release him from this duty.
Champions League: Chelsea - Real Madrid in the live ticker - Marcelo exempted from civil duty
As a video from the Spanish newspaper
Marca
shows, the Brazilian, who also has a Spanish passport, showed up punctually at the local election office on Tuesday morning. But then there was the good news: An older lady agreed to step in for Marcelo so that he could travel with the team to the English capital just in time. She received 60 euros net for her services from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Was she a real fan? Plan B would have been to fly in a private jet.
With or without Marcelo, a difficult task awaits the “Blancos”, because the Blues are currently in excellent form, especially defensively.
A 0-0 would be enough for the Tuchel team.
“It will be exciting,” promises the German coach.
"We are full of self-confidence and look forward to these games at the highest level."
