'Superior' Chelsea deserved to win, admits Zidane as Madrid crash out of Champions League

Zinedine Zidane has admitted that Chelsea were "superior" and "deserved to win" in their Champions League semi-final victory over Real Madrid, as the Frenchman saw his side crash out at the penultimate hurdle.

Goals from Timo Werner and Mason Mount ensured that Los Blancos fell short of a shot at a fourth European title under the World Cup winner, as they were outclassed at Stamford Bridge by the Blues.

The result means that Thomas Tuchel's side will face Manchester City in Istanbul later this month, while Madrid will attempt to muster a last-gasp defence of their crown in La Liga.
