As a guest at Stamford Bridge, in a position where they were no longer able to decide their own fate, Atletico Madrid still started brightly and opened the scoring thanks to Saul Niguez in the 56th minute. But combined with AS Roma winning against Qarabag in the match at the same time,
Chelsea, the team that won the ticket to continue in Group B, also failed to achieve its goal, finishing second – behind AS Roma in terms of direct confrontation results despite having the same 11 points after six matches.
Chelsea lost to Atletico with a score of 1-3 under Jose Mourinho in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the 2013-2014 season, and Conte was very careful when receiving the Spanish representative.
With the 3-5-1-1 formation, Conte did not hide his intention to play a tight defense, taking advantage of the impatience of Atletico – the team that must win in the match on the evening of December 5.
The blue team’s flank attacks, with the support of Victor Moses on the right wing and Davide Zappacosta on the left wing, proved effective.
It wasn’t until the second half that Atletico had real opportunities, and they took advantage to open the score.
Saul’s close-range header opened the score.
Chelsea is not in a hurry to attack, because with a 0-1 loss, they are still ranked above Atletico thanks to their head-to-head difference even though they both have 10 points.
Counterattacks, under Eden Hazard’s magical feet, have great damage.
Hazard’s cross caused Savic to send the ball into his own net.
Simeone hurriedly sent Angel Correa and Luciano Vietto onto the field in the last 10 minutes to play an all-out gamble, but it was unsuccessful.
Chelsea is also not satisfied with this score because they have fallen to second place.
12 teams won tickets to the 1/8 round of the Champions League
