Real Madrid CF and Chelsea FC have reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

A late Raul Meireles goal finally saw off ten-man SL Benfica at Stamford Bridge, after Lampard's penalty was equalised by Garcia on 85th minute. The Blues going through 3-1 on aggregate have set up a tie against holders FC Barcelona.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Madrid defeated APOEL FC 5-2 on the night and 8-2 overall. The nine-time champions will take on FC Bayern München in the last four.
