Atletico will prove to be dogged contenders
Chelsea have been drawn against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
The tie represents a tricky fixture for Chelsea. Diego Simeone’s side is one of the hardest teams to break down as shown in their outing against Liverpool last season.
We have played Atletico seven times, with both sides winning two apiece. It promises to be a closely fought match-up.
The Blues went into the draw as group winners. While there are no easy ties in Europe’s premier competition, it is fair to say being group winners does come with its own advantages.
For one, we play the second leg at home. Something that will come in handy against an opponent such as this.
Among the other English clubs in the competition, Manchester City drew Borussia Monchengladbach while Liverpool drew RB Leipzig.
