Atletico Madrid recovered to beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to set up an all-Madrid Champions League final.
After a goalless first leg, Fernando Torres gave Chelsea the lead against his former side in the 36th minute, when he swept in Cesar Azpilicueta's low cross after fine work from Willian.
Atletico levelled, though, a minute before half-time. Eden Hazard switched off at the far post to allow Juanfran to volley Tiago's floated delivery back across goal towards Adrian Lopez, whose shot was hit into the ground and bounced into the roof of the net.
Diego Costa put the Spaniards ahead from the penalty spot on the hour mark after he was fouled by Chelsea substitute Samuel Eto'o, before Arda Turan netted a third for Atletico when he tapped home the rebound after seeing his initial header strike the crossbar.
Atletico will meet city rivals Real Madrid in the final in Lisbon on May 24.
