closed Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea

[cosmicway 1,247]

Re. Spain, some of our matches at Camp Nou against Barcelona in recent years were nightmarish, including the last one, the 2-2 draw.
Against Real we have n't played many years now.
But I don't think Atletico can play us off the pitch tonight really.
I can't predict any result but I expect it will be more like the clashes with PSG in France.

I'm interested to see how Conte approaches Champions League games this season. He didn't really have to rotate the squad last year. This time there is good competition for places - Zappacosta/Moses, Willian/Pedro, Bakayoko/Fabregas, Rudiger/Cahill, so I'm interested to see what kind of team he picks today.

I think it will be better than the last time the team was away at Atletico when Jose did a shut-out job.

The toughest match in the group stages for us.  A win would be massive, but a draw would be a very good result.  A draw here and we're in good shape to progress past the group stage, possibly topping the group.

Of course the chosen match for TV broadcast here in Sweden is CSKA Moscow vs United instead of us vs Atletico...Such quality game...

Our youth has done the job. Now on to our 1st team.

Here, if there is one, it will be Juventus v' Olympiakos.
I 've no idea. They have made the ERT website a real mess. Nobody can tell what the program of the day is !!
I 'm going to find a newspaper - but if they have a match it's gotta be Oly.

That was my lineup but without Cahill. Let's go Chelsea!!

I just hope Moses and Alonso are good enough for this level. They're really the only 2 in our best XI that I look at and cringe a bit when we face elite opposition.

Hope our boys come out and play with courage and balls because you know Atleti will try to blitz us and feed off their crowd.

BECAUSE HE'S CAPTAIN AND IF U LIKE IT OR NOT CONTE MUST TRUST HIS CAPTAIN OR HE WOULDN'T BE STARTING. CAN WE STOP TALKING IN CAPS NOW?

[Pizy 17,860]

I actually don't mind Cahill playing here. A game that will likely be physical rather than super fast.

It's a team like City at the weekend that he shouldn't play against.
