Chelsea did their part of the job in their last European clash against Atletico, as they were able to record a narrow 0:1 victory, playing as a visiting side in Bucharest.
The Blues appeared much better with the ball to their feet, creating several decent opportunities before they managed to score in the 68th when Giroud performed a spectacular scissor kick.
The Spaniards were simply too uncreative and passive in this encounter, so a victory of the English side was quite deservedly taken, considering the overall impression of both teams.

Atletico will have to perform with much more aggression if they want to compensate for the deficit from the first leg.
They didn’t leave the impression of a competitive squad after the first match in Romania, and in my opinion, were lucky to concede only one. Now they have a difficult task in England, but if someone has the capacity for a complete comeback, that would certainly be them.
All in all, an exciting clash is highly likely on Wednesday evening when these two will clash spears once again.
Value still with goals
We usually aren’t used to seeing Atletico in very entertaining matches, however now it’s the time when the Spaniards will need to risk. Sooner or later during the match. Not only that, their defensive lineup isn’t as tight as it once was and they’ll need to risk here in the attack if they are to remain competitive during the game.
