Real Madrid added to the misery at Chelsea after the Spanish club eliminated the Premier League side from the UEFA Champions League with a 2-0 victory (4-0 on aggregate) on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
Rodrygo scored a brace against Chelsea and the Brazil international became the ninth player in Champions League history to achieve 15 goals or more in the competition before the age of 23.
Rodrygo es el 9no jugador que anota 15 goles de Champions League antes de cumplir los 23 años.

The 22-year-old joined two Paris Saint-Germain stars, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, to accomplish this feat. Messi scored 25 goals in the Champions League before he turned 23 while with FC Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Mbappé scored 31 Champions League goals before he turned 23 while with AS Monaco and PSG. Rodrygo is still at an age where he’s still developing and can reach another level in his game.
If the Real Madrid forward can hit the level of Messi and Mbappé, then the La Liga side will have a player that will be a superstar in world football.
