Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho hopes Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League after seeing his side knocked out by Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The Spanish giants, trailing 2-1 from the first leg, raced into to 2-0 lead inside 15 minutes at the Bernabeu thanks to a double from Cristiano Ronaldo, but Bayern levelled the tie through Arjen Robben's penalty just before the half hour mark.
Neither side could then break the deadlock as the game drifted into extra-time and finally penalties and after Ronaldo, Kaka and Sergio Ramos had all missed for the hosts, Bastian Schweinsteiger rattled home his spot-kick which means Bayern will become the first side to host a Champions League final on their own ground when they face Chelsea on May 19th.
With his side out of the running, Mourinho hopes the Blues can conquer Europe for the first time, having previously spent three seasons in charge at Stamford Bridge.

at Camp Nou on Tuesday and was scathing of those who criticised their tactics. (Sky Sports)
