Bayern just seemed unable to respond and their hold on the trophy finally ended as Ronaldo hit his second in the 89th minute to complete a 5-0 aggregate win.
Atletico Madrid made the trip to Chelsea knowing a win would set up a final against their city rivals Real but would have to come from behind when former Atletico hero Torres put Chelsea in front in the 36th minute.
Adrian levelled the score just before half-time and gave Atletico the advantage of an away goal at 1-1 but Chelsea's hopes suffered a huge blow when Eto'o conceded a penalty and Costa converted to leave Chelsea needing to score twice more to advance.
Adrian sealed the win for Atletico in the 72nd minute to set up what will be an historic final between two teams from the same city in Atletico and Real Madrid.
