Chelsea lock horns with Atletico
Chelsea will need on Atletico Madrid found in the primary leg of their last-16 Champions Little league clash on Tuesday night time, with the fixture appearing held in Romania because of coronavirus protocols over travel.
The meet is technically Atletico's home leg even though it is not occurring in Spain, with the reverse fixture due to happen in London in the middle of March.
Tuesday's contest in Romania is definitely the first period they have locked horns with Chelsea because the group stages of the 2017-18 Champions League, with the English golf club winning 2-1 in Madrid prior to the points had been shared in a 1-1 pull at Stamford Bridge.
Last season's chastening 7-1 aggregate loss to Bayern condemned Chelsea to a 4th successive round of 16 elimination, and on form that run is normally expected to continue. The Blues impressed in the group level, winning 4-0 at Sevilla, but have since stuttered, changing head mentor Frank Lampard with Thomas Tuchel in January. Meanwhile, Atletico (who finished Liverpool's defence at this time 12 month ago) happen to be making a solid bid for his or her first Liga subject since 2013-14.
