UEFA Champions League: Matress Makers Knock Out Jose's Blues; Set Up All-Madird Final In Lisbon

At London:



Adrian (44'), Diego Costa (PK-60', that's him celebrating with Koke after scoring), and Arda Turan (72') each produced a goal on Wednesday as Atletico Madrid dominated Chelsea 3-1 on the road in the second game of their two-game UEFA Champions League semifinal series, which the Mattress Makers won 3-1 on aggregate.

This sets up an all-Spanish, in fact, all-Madrid final set to be played at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, May 24 as nine-time champions Real Madrid (most recent title in 2002) will take on Atletico, who will be playing in second maiden Champions League final, having lost the 1974 title game to Bayern Munich at Brussels 4-0 in a replay, two days after the original contest ended as a 1-1 draw after overtime.
