Chelsea drew 2-2 in Madrid in November after some controversial refereeing decisions went against the BluesChelsea are through to the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League as group winners after grinding out a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge.
Emma Hayes' side were largely frustrated but eventually wrapped up the win during a topsy-turvy eight-minute spell which saw three goals, including an equaliser from Real.
Guro Reiten put Chelsea ahead from the penalty spot when Niamh Charles was brought down by former Manchester City winger Hayley Raso.
Real responded immediately when Raso's strike, saved by Hannah Hampton, rebounded straight to Athenea del Castillo to poke in from close range.
But a minute later, Chelsea's lead was restored when Erin Cuthbert's cutback was deflected in off goalkeeper Mylene Chavas.
An earlier goalless draw between BK Hacken and Paris FC meant Chelsea knew they would confirm their place in the quarter-finals as group winners if they beat Real Madrid on a chilly night in west London.
Last season's semi-finalists are aiming to win the European title for the first time in Hayes' final season with the club and they go through with a game to spare in the group stage.
