Atletico would be hoping to overturn that deficit, having been able to do same at the 2015-2016 semi final, winning 3-1 at Stamford Bridge to overturn a 2-0 deficit at home.
It is worthy to note that Atlético Madrid have lost three UEFA Champions League matches against Chelsea, their joint-most against an opponent along with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Also, in the history of European competition, Chelsea have never been eliminated in a two-legged knockout tie after winning the first leg away from home (progressed from all 13).
Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid striker Luis Suárez has failed to score in all five of his UEFA Champions League appearances for the club this season and hasn’t scored in any of his last 24 away appearances in the competition, since September 2015 with Barcelona at Roma, having 70 shots with an expected goal value of 9.6 in those 24 scoreless away games.
Expect a draw or a win from Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea.
