32'
Fine work from Rudiger who tackles two players before busting a gut to get into the Real box. Werner attempted to square to him but it's a loose pass. That was a bit of a waste of Rudiger's great play.
30'
How will Real respond? They have had so much more of the ball this evening but they are clearly wary of the Chelsea counter as they are not keen to push men forward. Chelsea, meanwhile, may even be content just to sit on this lead now. Real have it all to do.
28'
GOAL!!! Werner has scored and Chelsea are 2-1 up on aggregate! It's brilliant work from Kante who plays a one-two with the German before laying it off to Havertz. He tries to chip Courtois and it comes off the bar and lands perfectly for Werner, who nods in his first Champions League goal for Chelsea in open play! A huge goal!

OFF THE POST! Real Madrid are enjoying more of the ball further up the pitch and Benzema has a go from outside the box... it's curling into the bottom corner but it's a fantastic stop by Mendy who parries it away onto the woodwork for a corner! The following corner comes to nothing.
24'
Vinicius' cross swung towards Benzema goes above the Frenchman's head and out for a goal-kick. Benzema has barely been in the game so far, but that does not tend to stop him from scoring a goal or two.
22'
Vinicius Jr and Chilwell seem to be arguing about something, but referer Orsato has had a quiet word with both to diffuse the situation.
20'
This has opened up and both sides have now had attempts on goal. Chelsea are on top despite only having 29 per cent possession. They have had the more dangerous chances at the moment with Real limited to shots from range.
18'
NO GOAL!!! It looked like Werner had his first goal in open play in the Champions League this season for Chelsea as Chilwell squared for the German to tap home, but he was narrowly offside and it's chalked off! Luck is just not on Werner's side.
17'
SHOT! Modric has a go from a similar distance to where Kroos had a go a few minutes ago. Again it's straight at Mendy but Real are threatening.
16'
Werner's low cross swung in is well defended by Nacho as he gets his foot in ahead of Havertz to make an important clearance. Chelsea are starting to up the pressure with Real being forced to sit deep.

14'
The free-kick swung in by Chilwell is headed clear at the back post by Casemiro. The ball back into the box is comfortably dealt with by Modric. YELLOW! The first of the night for Jorginho for tripping up Hazard as he tried to sprint towards the Chelsea box.

SAVE! Rudiger has a strike from range but Courtois punches clear! That was a fine, powerful strike from the German! Moments later Mount jinks his way into the box from the left and attempts a low driven cross, but it's blocked behind for a corner. Vinicius then gives a free-kick away on the edge of the box for tripping up Chilwell.
11'
Real Madrid have had a lot of the ball so far. Kroos has the first shot of the game from around 30-yards out, but his low bobbling effort is easy enough for Mendy to claim.
9'
Werner tries to surge into the box but Ramos is able to shepherd the ball back to Courtois.
7'
Nacho is caught by Havertz and he looks to be in some discomfort. There did not seem to really be a great deal of contact on the Spanish right-back.
6'
Real Madrid are looking to dictate the tempo with Chelsea absorbing the pressure right now. This is all looking quite cagey at the moment.

4'
No real attacking intent from either side just yet as Kante puts in a crunching tackle on Kroos after Christensen slides into the back of Hazard. It's a Real free-kick from the left flank. The ball swung in is headed clear by Silva.
2'
Both sides are knocking the ball about with everyone getting a touch as they adapt to the damp conditions. Werner is caught offside.
