Chelsea progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals, beating Atletico Madrid 2-0 on Wednesday to complete a 3-0 aggregate win in the last-16 second leg at Stamford Bridge
Olivier Giroud's spectacular overhead kick separated the sides in Bucharest three weeks ago, giving Chelsea a valuable one-goal advantage that was added to by Hakim Ziyech (34) during the opening half
The Blues extended their record of never having been eliminated from a European knockout tie after winning the first leg away from home to 14 occasions and frustration got the better of Atletico in the closing stages
Stefan Savic was dismissed for violent conduct (81) after elbowing Antonio Rudiger as Emerson Palmieri came off the bench in stoppage time and scored with his very first touch to complete a professional job by the hosts
It is the first time Chelsea have reached the Champions League last eight in seven years and they are yet to lose in 13 matches under Thomas Tuchel in all competitions, making this now the longest unbeaten start to a tenure by any manager in the club's history, overtaking Luiz Felipe Scolari's 12 games in 2008
Atletico failed to manage a single shot on target in the first leg, but it took them less than four minutes to test Edouard Mendy for the first time on Wednesday, but Renan Lodi's effort was comfortably gathered
Chelsea did a good job of nullifying their opponents but were fortunate not to concede a penalty after 23 minutes
Cesar Azpilicueta intercepted Luis Suarez's through ball but his backpass to Mendy was under-cooked as the Blues captain subsequently appeared to impede Yannick Carrasco inside the box with an outstretched arm
Referee Daniele Orsato was unmoved despite the vocal protests while the incident was not referred to VAR Massimiliano Irrati
 Chelsea took full advantage of the reprieve 11 minutes later to stretch their lead through Ziyech
The Morocco forward converted from Timo Werner's cross, after the Germany star had grafted hard to launch the attack in the first place
Werner sprinted wide to block Kieran Trippier's attempted cross after a free-kick, with Kai Havertz latching onto the loose ball and sending it back into Werner's path
The former RB Leipzig hitman raced away and kept his cool to feed Ziyech at the far post, who slotted home for his first goal in 20 matches for Chelsea
Diego Simeone wasted no time in seeking solutions at the interval, hauling off the hapless Lodi, but his replacement Mario Hermoso fared no better against the marauding Reece James
 Chelsea had their opponents at arm's length, defending from the front as Ziyech took James' pass and saw a curling shot tipped over by Jan Oblak
Suarez had cut an isolated figure, kept at bay by Rudiger as he was hooked on the hour-mark and replaced by Angel Correa - Simeone's third change - but it failed to swing the momentum in Atletico's favour
 There were now spaces for Chelsea to exploit on the counter as Werner raced down the left and had Havertz in support but he went solo, firing wide of the angle of post and crossbar
It wasn't until the 76th minute that Mendy was drawn into action in the second half as Marcos Llorente found Joao Felix but the shot was parried out, with the impressive N'Golo Kante there to sweep the clearance to safety
Chelsea managed the clock, but Atletico won a corner as another Felix shot deflected over
 Savic went forward from defence and stood on Rudiger
 An elbow to the ribs of the German centre-back in sight of referee Orsato brought an immediate red and with it went Atletico's chances of progressing
Tuchel looked to his bench in the closing stages and three substitutes were involved in a fitting final flourish as Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic combined to feed Emerson, who finished clinically to the left of Oblak
Chelsea join Manchester City and Liverpool in Friday's draw meaning three of the last eight are from England; having rolled the dice with a managerial change, you wonder if this could be 2012 all over again for the Blues
Chelsea boss : "It was a very good performance
 Unbelievable team effort from the guys on the pitch, the guys on the bench, even the guys in the stands
 You could really feel that we totally wanted it
 We go through deserved
 It's a big win for us
"The amount of effort and intensity, and the team work over both legs was fantastic
 We missed four or five key players today in Andreas, Thiago, Mason and Jorginho
 But the guys are totally reliable and the intensity is incredible
 We played very bravely and can adapt to any system the opponents played today
 It's a deserved win and a big win as we're now in the quarter-finals
 I'm really happy for my players
"The most important thing is that we give feedback to the guys in terms of their quality and that they feel it
 They need to feel it from the manager and they play with a certain bond
 Results like this you can only do with a special atmosphere
 I'm sure no one wants to play against us
 We're in the last eight which is already a big step but there's no need for us to be afraid
 We'll prepare for it in the best way possible
"Atletico Madrid boss : "We worked hard to disrupt their rhythm but every time we regained the ball we couldn't impose ourselves on them
 There were many elements of our game that pleased me, and there was an improvement in our game in the second half
 I was pleased with the character but we ultimately fell short
"I'm really well
 We have to accept this reality
 We have to keep improving and growing
 We gave our best effort tonight but it wasn't enough
"The fans will be feeling pain and disappointment but they will recover to think of the future
 With work, we will get stronger and recover from this defeat
 We had not one sense of fear
 This is the Champions League, it's difficult and we came up against a superior team
"Always it's better to win and to advance
 We aren't thinking of this as allowing us to focus on the league
 We will continue with the same application and energy that we take into the game with Alaves
"It was only the third time that N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic were paired in the Chelsea midfield under Tuchel, more through necessity perhaps than design given the suspension of Jorginho, but Kante took his chance in his preferred role, protecting Chelsea's back three
Atletico were given no chance to build pressure on Mendy's goal thanks to Kante's vital contributions, making two interceptions and gaining possession on 13 occasions, more than any other Chelsea player
Even in the fourth minute of stoppage time as Pulisic played Emerson in for the second, Kante was up in support, rolling back the years
 He turns 30 this month, but Tuchel only sees his quality
"I never know the age of my players, I judge them only by their performance," he said
 "It's a pleasure to be the coach of him and it's a big gift for me
 He's so humble and such a help around the pitch
 Don't underestimate his ability to run with quality and play under pressure
 He alongside Mateo, they took all the weight on their shoulders and did a fantastic job
"Ziyech scored his first home goal in 12 appearances at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea
 He told : "There were some difficult moments in the game but for most of the time we had it under control
 It was an important goal and I had to wait a long time for it
"It is always good when you go 1-0 up, especially when you make it by yourself
 Timo's delivery was good as well
 It was a bit like seeing how the game would go for 10 minutes and after that we had control
