Chelsea vs Atlético Madrid: Champions League match preview
Chelsea will hope experience is the key in this second leg tie. Unlike Atletico Madrid, whose appearance in the semi-final is their first for 40 years, the Blues have reached this stage six times in the Abramovich era. With Jose Mourinho’s expert knowledge of how to win this competition and his side coming off the back of a morale-boosting win at Anfield, Chelsea will be quite confident.
Atletico prepared for this game by grinding out a ninth successive
league win. Diego Simeone’s side have breathing space at the top of La
Liga and are unbeaten in the Champions League this season. After a first
leg stalemate displayed the sides records as having the meanest
defences in their respective leagues, this week’s affair should prove
more exciting, with Atletico knowing that an away goal could prove
crucial.
Thibaut Courtois will return to Stamford Bridge looking
to further enhance his sterling reputation by denying his parent club -
including former Atletico hero Fernando Torres - a third final in six
years.
