Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#2 - Atletico Madrid need Diego Costa

Club Atletico de Madrid v UD Almeria - La Liga

January can't come soon enough for Atletico Madrid and Diego Costa. The player will not be able to play until he is registered and that can only be done on January 1st.

If the Spanish side had Costa in their team last night that could have won the game. Griezmann and Correa were not able to bully the Chelsea defenders off the ball and that is something the former Chelsea striker is very good at.

Should Chelsea and Atletico Madrid face each other once again in the competition (after group stage), it would be interesting to see how much the tactics would change. Atletico Madrid might be the ones attacking next time with Chelsea playing deep.
