Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea: 5 Talking Points

#1 - Tactical Masterclass

Atletico Madrid v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League

The easiest way to describe last night's match would be to call it a tactical masterclass. Both the managers got their tactics spot on and it was a very interesting watch for the neutral.

In the first half, when Chelsea were dominating, Diego Simeone switched from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 and that gave Chelsea some headache. Correa and Carrasco were getting in behind the Chelsea full-backs with ease and that got them their best chance of the game but Koke failed to convert.

Antonio Conte responded by changing Cesc Fabregas' position. He made the Spaniard play behind Kante and Bakayoko and it worked like a charm. Chelsea equalised and as soon as that happened, Cesc was made to pay in his normal position again and Chelsea were in cruise control.
