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.

Petr Cech, John Terry, Eden Hazard and Samuel Eto'o ALL trained ahead of Chelsea's crunch semi-final against Atletico Madrid. The Blues also have Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel suspended, while Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah are cup-tied.
