Atletico Madrid face Chelsea at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Atletico Madrid and Chelsea face off Wednesday in one of the most anticipated Champions League group stage matches yet. Atletico Madrid started off their Champions League campaign with a lackluster 0-0 draw against Roma. Chelsea began theirs with a 6-0 stomping of Qarabag. The Blues and Atleti are no doubt a fantastic match for each other. They can each stifle opposing attacks with an intense defense, and both have the ability to counter with breakneck speed.
Chelsea are just coming into form with most of their first team players ready to go. Antonio Conte has struggled to be able to field his strongest starting XI without Eden Hazard in the mix. The Belgian is back and ready to start after a number of appearances off the bench. Some good news for Chelsea is that newly signed Alvaro Morata is coming off his strongest game yet in Chelsea blue, netting a hat trick over the weekend in a 4-1 win at Stoke City.
Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in domestic play and look to continue their early season form against the Blues. Antoine Griezmann and Yannick Carrasco are the biggest threats to the opposing side anytime Atleti line up, Antonio Conte’s side will need to be wary to avoid getting caught out by Diego Simeone’s fiery attackers.
