'What a night! What delirium!': Spanish press wildly celebrate Real Madrid and Villarreal reaching Champions League semi-finals, with Carlo Ancelotti's 'IMMORTAL' side hailed for coming back to knock out Chelsea

Real Madrid and Villarreal's emphatic wins in the Champions League quarter-finals have sparked scenes of jubilation back home, with the Spanish press hailing both for their epic achievements.

Carlo Ancelotti's men looked to have squandered their dominant 3-1 first leg lead over Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel's men miraculously scored three goals at the Bernabeu before Rodrygo's 80th goal forced extra-time.

And it was Karim Benzema who broke Chelsea hearts when he scored with his head once again, sending the reigning European champions crashing out of the competition.
