Chelsea progressed to the quarter-finals of the 2020-21 Champions League after seeing off Atletico Madrid 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, winning the tie 3-0 on aggregate.
Hakim Ziyech and Emerson were on target for the Blues as they reached the competition's last-8 for the first time since 2014.
Thomas Tuchel's side were dominant for most of the match and scored both their goals from two brilliant counter-attacks.
The first one saw the Chelsea new boys Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Ziyech link up wonderfully; the second one was between two substitutes, Christian Pulisic and Emerson.
The Rojiblancos were left hopelessly exposed on the break and never really seemed like pulling off a comeback.
On that note, let's have a look at five hits and flops from the match:
Hit: Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea)
How desperately have the Chelsea fans been waiting for this!
Hakim Ziyech, the Moroccan wizard, turned on the style at Stamford Bridge and capped off an encouraging performance with a goal.
While most of the credit for that must deservedly go to Timo Werner, who did brilliantly to set it up, Ziyech rounded off the counter-attack with a confident finish beyond Jan Oblak.
The former Ajax star didn't rest on his laurels thereafter. Ziyech continued to pose a huge threat for Chelsea, creating three chances and making five crosses in an excellent attacking performance.
Flop: Luis Suarez (Atletico Madrid)
On a night when the Rojiblancos needed his goals the most, Luis Suarez instead turned in a stinker.
With Chelsea dominating possession, Suarez was left isolated up front for most of the time and devoid of service.
But when in possession, the Uruguayan ace was kept firmly under wraps by Antonio Rudiger and Kurt Zouma and couldn't muster a single effort on target.
He appeared so toothless that Diego Simeone didn't mind taking him off in the 60th minute even when Atletico Madrid were only 0-1 down and in with a chance of a comeback.
Hit: Timo Werner (Chelsea)
Like his Chelsea teammate Ziyech, this was a much-improved performance from Timo Werner, who bagged a wonderful assist for the Moroccan from a superb break.
Tuchel's decision to start Werner over Olivier Giroud raised eyebrows, as the Frenchman has been their main source of goals in the competition, while Werner had missed the weekend's draw to Leeds United.
But the former RB Leipzig star fully justified his inclusion on the night.
His sprint in the build-up to Ziyech's opener was classy, as he bombed into Atletico Madrid's box and crossed to the winger with a sublime pass.
As well as setting up the goal, Werner attempted three shots himself, while also making nine touches in the opposition box, as he flexed Atletico Madrid inside out with his pace and quick movements.
Flop: Stefan Savic (Atletico Madrid)
Luis Suarez would be glad to see he's got company in terms of a disaster class on the night, as Stefan Savic dropped one too.
The former Manchester City defender was brutally nutmegged by Werner in the build-up to Ziyech's goal and was later sent off late on.
A penalty-box skirmish with Rudiger saw the Montenegrin throw an elbow, which the referee was quick to spot.
Even though it wasn't as nasty as the Chelsea centre-back made it look so with his theatrics, that was still construed as violent conduct, and Savic was shown a straight red card.
Atletico Madrid were still 0-1 down at the time, but the numerical disadvantage only served to compound their misery.
Hit: N'Golo Kante (Chelsea)
N'Golo Kante was at it again, as he put up an impressive outing against Atletico Madrid.
The hard-working Frenchman did what he does best - cover every blade of grass and keep Chelsea ticking.
He set the tone for his side's attack with excellent, incisive passes, as well as energetic runs, while completing four of seven attempted dribbles.
Whenever the situation demanded, N'Golo Kante stood up and made his presence felt in defence, making two clearances and as many interceptions.
