Inspired Atletico ease past Chelsea to set up Madrid final


LONDON (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid produced an inspired display of counter-attacking football to beat Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday and set up an all-Spanish final against city rivals Real.

Goals from Adrian Lopez, a penalty from Diego Costa and the killer third from Arda Turan 18 minutes from time gave Atletico a 3-1 aggregate victory after last week's goalless draw in Madrid to send them into the final of Europe's elite competition for the first time since 1974.
