Chelsea 2 Atletico Madrid 0; Blues cruise past Atletico Madrid - (2022)

2020-21 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg review:
Chelsea 2 Atletico Madrid 0 (Chelsea win 3-0 on aggregate)
Chelsea made their first entry into the quarter finals of the Champions League in seven years as they coasted past Atletico Madrid 3-0 on aggregate at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
Italian official Daniele Orsato waved the infringement away, and VAR did not care to examine it. In fact, Thomas Tuchel's men went into the lead in the 34th minute.
Timo Werner after being fed by fellow German Kai Havertz raced down the left flank and essayed a perfect cross for Hakim Ziyech to squeeze the ball under Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak to take Chelsea's aggregate to 2-0.
Atletico tried hitting the Blues on the break with Luis Suarez threatening to score but the ex-Barca ace lacked the finishing he is known for. The visitors' attack struggled to pierce Chelsea's defense with the indefatigable N'Golo Kante providing extra protection from midfield.
Coach Diego Simeone replaced the ineffective Suarez with Angel Correa but to little effect as the home side remained persistent in their attacks. The lone good chance on the match for Atletico came from Joao Felix who saw his fierce drive saved when almost one a one-on-one with goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
Chelsea starting in a 3-4- 3 formation: Mendy (goal); Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger; James, Kante, Kovacic, Alonso (Chilwell 90); Havertz 7 (Emerson 90), Werner (Hudson-Odoi 82), Ziyech 7 (Pulisic 77).
Atletico Madrid starting in a 4-4-1-1 formation: Oblak (goal); Trippier 6 (Lemar 69), Gimenez, Savic, Lodi (Hermoso 46); Llorente, Saul, Koke, Carrasco (Dembele 54); Felix; Suarez (Correa 59).
