Match report in news

  • 95'
    FT: Chelsea 2-0 (10) Atletico!! (agg 3-0) All over at the Bridge and Chelsea easily make it through. Ziyech and then Emerson scored at the end to give the Blues a deserved win. Atletico won't be happy with the ref though as they could have easily had two penalties in the first half and Savic was dismissed late on for next to nothing.

Goaaaaaal!

    Chelsea double sub: Chilwell on for Alonso and Emerson for Havertz.
  • 92'
    Mendy!! Felix gets inside the box and shoots, but Mendy makes a terrific save to send it for a corner.
  • 91'
    Five added minutes.
  • 90'
    Chance for Atletico but Dembele didn't hit the targert.
  • 87'
    Chelsea have been the better team and deserve to go through, but Atleti will feel very unhappy with the ref. They could have two pens in the first half and the red card given to Savic is nothing short of a joke.
  • 87'
    Chelsea are just passing the ball around now.
  • 84'
    Chelsea sub: Werner on for Hudson-Odoi.
  • 84'
    Savic was fuming with the decision and it's not surprising. If you give that a red, nobody will be left on the pitch given what happens at every corner.
  • 82'
    It's also a free-kick to Chelsea. That was just a normal footballing contact. Really unbelievable that that's been given as a red...

    Red card to Savic!!! Atletico have a corner and the ref gives a red as Savic makes contact with Rudiger's chest off the ball. Never ever a red...

    Felix!!! The Atletico man hits it from inside the box, it's deflected off Azpi for a corner.
  • 80'
    Free-kick to Atletico 25 yards from goal.

    Hermoso gets himself in a mess at the back as he fails to clear and Gimenez has to clear away.

    Atletico are really doing next to nothing here.

  • 67'
    Zouma has gone to sideline, but he looks unsteady on his feet.
  • 66'
    A reminder that there are no concussion subs in the CL.
  • 65'
    Zouma goes down with a head injury after clashing heads with an Atletico man and the ref stops play immediately!! Atletico are fuming with the ref for stopping play, but it was a head injury so the ref was absolutely spot on.
  • 63'
    Werner!!! The German hits one and the ball hits the sidenetting.
  • 61'
    58% possession for the home side.

  • 60'
    Gimenez has his name taken after a foul on Havertz following a heavy touch. I really don't like that call. Gimenez slid through and won the ball and that was never a booking. Not even a foul...

    Atleti sub: Suarez is replaced by Correa. Bit surprised he's been taking off.
  • 57'
    Ziyech!!! James passes to Ziyech just outside the box and Oblak leaps to tip it over. Corner.
  • 55'
    Corner for Chelsea which comes to nothing.
  • 55'
    "You respect me, ok? The last touch is yours", referee Orsato tells Joao Felix after he complains at not getting the throw-in his way.

  • 47'
    James sends a cross into the Atleti box, they clear and then Zouma fouls Suarez.
  • 46'
    Chelsea get us going again!
  • 45'
    Atletico HT sub: Hermoso on for Lodi (who had a yellow card).
  • 45'
    HT: Chelsea 1-0 Atletico (agg 2-0)!! Half-time at Stamford Bridge and the Blues are deservedly leading this one. Atletico started well, but then Chelsea picked up. Simeone's men had two penalty shouts turned down, but then Ziyech put Chelsea ahead after a lovely counter. Joao Felix could have levelled shortly afterwards, but otherwise the Blues have been comfortable and Kovacic so nearly made it two. Atleti have a tall order. Back soon!
  • 45'
    Kovacic!!! The Blues attack Atleti's left again, the ball is passed to Kovacic just outside the box and he hits wide!
  • 43'
    Havertz passes for Rudiger, but the German is right by the by-line and his attempted cross goes out of play.
  • 42'
    Shout for a penalty by the Blues!! James passes for Werner in the middle, the ball hits the German on the thigh and then Havertz going down wanting a pen, but Saul gets a touch on the ball.
  • 39'
    Joao Felix hits it from outside the box and it's saved by Mendy!!
  • 36'
    Chelsea attack again, James crosses, Alonso tries to tap in, but can't get there!
  • 34'
    That was a sensational counter and now we can't have ET. Atletico need 2 to win. Just like the RM game yesterday, it's simple. Atletico win tonight and they are through. If Chelsea win or draw, they progress.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 30'
    Savic is booked for catching Savic in the face.
  • 27'
    The La Liga side have had two penalty shouts turned down and had either of them been given, they certainly wouldn't have been reversed.
  • 27'
    Atletico have a corner and nothing comes of it.
  • 26'
    Carrasco goes down in the box wanting a pen after going down under pressure from Azpi, but the ref says no!! Suarez looks to find Carrasco, Azpi is too complacent and pulls back Carrasco. Borderline and could've have easily been given again.
  • 25'
    Still 0-0 and I'd say that's a fair score.
  • 23'
    Suarez goes down wanting a penalty for a foul on Rudiger by Suarez, but the ref says no. It could have easily been given. Koke could have handled in the build up though.
  • 22'
    Chelsea have got this game where they want it. They are very comfortable so far. Atletico have had the off attack, but nothing threatening.
  • 19'
    Werner hits it, the ball takes a deflection off the defender and goes for a corner, but the ref says goal kick.
  • 18'
    Felix makes a lovely run forward for Atletico, but Kante then stops him as he's about to shoot.
  • 17'
    Ziyech's ball in is cleared away by Atletico.
  • 16'
    Chelsea get themselves a corner now.
  • 14'

  • 12'
    Chelsea are looking comfortable having the possession now. Havertz passes to James and the cross is knocked away by Gimenez.
  • 10'
    Alonso!!! Havertz passes to Alonso on this near side and the Spaniard's low shot hits the side netting.
  • 8'

    The players make their way out here!
  • PRVW
    Atleti also drew 0-0 at the weekend (at 10 man Getafe). Hermoso and Correa are the only men to drop out and Lodi and Joao Felix start.
  • PRVW
    The Blues make five changes from the goalless draw at Leeds at the weekend. Chelsea go back to a back three, Chilwell, Christensen, Jorginho, Mount and Pulisic are replaced by Zouma, Alonso, Kovacic, James and Werner. Jorginho and Mount are suspended.
  • PRVW
    Chelsea won the first leg 0-1 so only a 0-1 win for Atletico would see us go to extra-time. In simple terms, Chelsea need a win or a draw while Atletico have to win.
  • PRVW
    We have Italian officials this evening. Daniele Orsato is the referee while Massimiliano Irrati is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    9 degrees in West London tonight.
