Such was the quality of the strike that Antonio Conte was practically already celebrating on the Chelsea bench, but his counterpart Diego Simeone had the last laugh.
The incident unofolded after 37 minutes of the crunch Champions League encounter as the Italian defender was sent racing away down the left flank, as he approached the edge of the box he cut inside and rifled in a low effort that flew towards the bottom corner.
Fortunately for Atletico, Oblak was equal to it, diving low to his right to make a fine save to keep the scores level.
