It was a herculean task for Chelsea to overturn the 3-1 first-leg loss, and they did it in spectacular fashion and were already 3-0 up away from home, only for Modric to provide the ball of the night for Rodrygo to level things up on aggregate.

At a point in the game, Kante gave the ball away in the lead up to the incident and when Benzema scored the winner it was the former Leicester City man who was late to close down a loose ball in midfield in the build-up.

Rudiger, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires, focused on the mistakes his team made over the two legs.

He told BT Sport:

"Over the two legs if you make these kinds of mistakes you get punished.

"It was a do or die for us. Before the game not everybody thought we could get to 3-0 but then the individual class comes to light with Modric and Benzema, now we are here.
