DIEGO COSTA ensured Jose Mourinho's European blues continued as Atletico Madrid progressed to the Champions League Final at the expense of Chelsea.

A second-half penalty from Atletico's top scorer made it a miserable night for the Chelsea faithful who had high hopes of witnessing another magical Champions League night at Stamford Bridge.
Much had been made of Mourinho's ultra defensive display against Liverpool at the weekend, but the Blues carved out some decent openings and could have gone ahead in the 22nd minute when David Luiz swivelled in the area before sending an acrobatic effort just wide of Thibaut Courtois' post.
Their reward came 14 minutes later when Willian, who had caused Atletico problems with his set-pieces, twisted past two defenders and Cesar Azpilicueta drove a ball into the path of Fernando Torres who stroked the ball home via a slight deflection.
Mourinho's side conceded a soft equaliser two minutes before the interval. Tiago stood up a cross at the far post and Juanfran pulled it back across for the oncoming Adrian Lopez who drove into an empty net.

However, Eto'o was the villain of the piece just before the hour mark when he felled Costa in the area.
After a slight delay pontificating over the exact positioning of the penalty, Costa held his nerve and blasted the spot kick into the roof of the net.
Atletico made sure of the result 18 minutes from the end when Arda Turan struck the bar but pounced to followed up his effort by tucking the ball home.
Mourinho has lost his fourth semi-final in a row, but Atletico will now meet nine-times champions and crosstown rivals Real in Lisbon on May 24.
