Chelsea was drawn with Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 with the first match to be played in London while the second leg is scheduled to be played next week in Spain.

Match Summary.

Chelsea suffered a big blow just 12th minutes into the game when Chelsea defender, S. ingle was sent off by the referee for a deliberate foul.

Fortunately, Chelsea goalkeeper, Berger was alert as he rescued Chelsea by saving the penalty to keep Chelsea in the game.

Chelsea won a penalty when Atletico Madrid defender fouled Chelsea striker in the penalty box.

However, Chelsea goalkeeper, Berger made a huge mistake when she jumped out to claim a through-ball she was never going to get.

Atletico Madrid striker, Ludmila was clever and tricked Berger into fouling her and which resulted in Atletico Madrid second penalty in the game.

It ended that way as Chelsea wins 2-0 to grab an important home away and will travel to Spain to face Atletico Madrid for the return leg on the 10th of March 2021
