Atletico Madrid are into the Champions League final.

The Mattress Men defeated Chelsea 3-1 in this semi final return at Stamford Bridge to go through 3-1 on aggregate.

The crucial goal arrived in the 61st minute which made it 2-1 to Atletico and meant Chelsea had to score two more to go through.

Substitute Samuel Eto'o gave away a penalty and - after he'd been booked for timewasting setting up the kick - Diego Costa stepped up and made no mistake from the spot.

To be fair to Atletico they didn't shut up shop and - despite the Blues' David Luiz nodding against a post - kept on the front foot. 

After that the icing was put on the cake by Arda Turan who headed against the crossbar before following up his own effort to sidefoot home.

Earlier in the first half Chelsea had taken the lead through Atletico old boy Fernando Torres after excellent work by Willian and Cesar Azpilicueta on the right flank.

While Adrian Lopez notched the equaliser a minute from the interval with a scuffed far post effort. 

 So it's an all Madrid Champions League final between Real and Atletico on Saturday 24th May in Lisbon.
