Manager delighted with last-16 victory over Atlético Madrid‘Results like this give you an edge to achieve special things’Thomas Tuchel said that nobody will want to draw
Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the
Champions League after beating Atlético Madrid 3-0 on aggregate in the last 16.
Chelsea secured their place in the last eight for the first time since 2014 after their comprehensive win over Atlético, winning Wednesday night’s second leg at Stamford Bridge thanks to goals from Hakim Ziyech and Emerson Palmieri. The performance against the La Liga’s leaders delighted Tuchel, who has made a huge impact since replacing Frank Lampard in January, and the manager believes that opponents will want to avoid his side in Friday’s quarter-final draw.
