Will become the biggest Chelsea fan on the planet when these two meet.

Good luck Chelsea! And fuck Atlético!

True to my words, I'm going to be Chelsea's biggest fan tonight. I'm a London blue through and through.

Now, end them!

Has the potential to be the most boring and uneventful tie in history

not a bad match so far. Tuchel has got Chelsea really well organised.

GI RUUU

Decent chance of seeing no Spanish team in the last 8 for the first time since.... I dont remember but it's been a long time.

Atalanta have a decent chance of beating Madrid too but Madrid's pedigree tips the tie slightly in their favor.

Atlético

Atletico are disgusting to watch. Felix needs to get out of there.

not surprised at all. Atletico were nothing special in the last season also. It was special agent Adrian who gifted them goals otherwise we were winning the game comfortably. So glad they are going out.
And Tuchel I just hope he had more personality to bring that mental toughness in his teams. Otherwise tactically he is good.

that will be great.
Liverpool vs Juventus in CL final will be even better

Giroud is a god amongst men.

Chelsea have been good so far. Tuchel has got them just about right against Atletico who are being completely suffocated atm.

Wowww never seen Kavacic playing so good.
Heverz certainly has bright future, not sure where exactly but he can be immense.
Werner is fucking dumb really. For all the hard work, pace with the ball and movement, he tends make wrong decisions or he himself makes it difficult for him.
Really interested in how Chelsea perform in the next round depending upon whom they face.

Im sure many agree, its good to watch Aleticho suffer and crash out like this completely creating nothing over 2 legs Simone and his extreme negative football. Its easy to hate them as well sometimes, just now Chelsea player down with head injury and they play on, the ref stops it and Koke complains. No sportssmanship whatsoever.

Atletico haven't looked like a strong team whenever I've watched them this season. Then again, neither have Real Madrid or Barcelona, unless you count against the league teams that are perfectly willing to bend over for them.

yep. Every time I watch them I find myself completely baffled as to how on freaking earth this dreadful team is topping La Liga. Then again, everybody sucks so that explains it.

Hudson Odoi has lost all his 1v1 dribbling ability since his Achilles injury

Suarez with 0 goals in 6 games. Such an atrocious CL player.

Honestly didn't expect to beat them when we got the draw, but Atleti played terribly.

Happy for the win but we need to improve if we want to get to the Semi's.

Atleti tried to put pressure, but Simeone is so adverse to offensive football he doesnt seem to know what to do. His entire philsophy of course has shaped the construction of the squad, they dont have defenders to play out from their back and if not for Felix, Llorente and Carrasco they would struggle to score at all.

If Chelsea build with 3 defenders and 2 holding mids as they did, pressing in a straight up 442 will always leave Chelsea with the spare man and they used it perfectly to escape Atleti's feeble attempts.

As stated, Joao Felix is the only thing interesting about this team and the only reason they are 1st is because Madrid and Barca have allowed them to be there with their own poor periods during the season. If Sevilla had more squad depth, even they would be up there with Atleti.

Tuchel has done a good job so far, hard to say otherwise. They are stronger defensively, but they also are pretty good on the ball. The attacking third is not quite working as well but we will see how all this fares against some of the better sides.
