Athletico Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1 to set up an all-spanish final

Chelsea lost 1-3 to Athletico Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Semi final on Tuesday night at the Stamford Bridge.

Fernando Torres put Chelsea ahead in the 36th minute but didn't take long before the Madrid leveled up through Adrian Turan before the end of half time.

Samuel Eto'o fouled Diego Costa in the box 60' and he Cooley converted the penalty he earned as a result of the challenge while Arda Turan added more salt to Chelsea's injury when he grabbed the third 76th minute for the Madrid side.

Chelsea secured a 0-0 draw in the first leg encounter in Spain.

The victory however sets up an all-Spanish final as they face fellow city rivals Real Madrid who got past Bayern Munich on Tuesday in the other semi final tie.

The final comes up on May 24th in Lisbon Portugal.
