With CSKA still chasing the game they leave themselves open at the back, and in the dying moments of the game Real take advantage of this. They work the ball up the right to Benzema who rolls it across the six-yard box to Ronaldo who takes it in his stride and flicks his finish into an empty goal. So the final score of 4-1 gives Real Madrid an aggregate victory of 5-2 and they too are in the hat for the quarter-finals. When Mourinho was asked about Chelsea in the post-match interview this is what he had to say "I know, if I get them in the quarters, or semis, or final, they will be a great opponent. I am so happy for the boys (Chelsea players), because they have incredible character...They have had a hard time, but now happiness is coming." When asked if he wanted to face Chelsea in the final, he said: "I would love (it)."
