Chelsea FC is one of the England Club side still standing tall in the round of sixteen in the ongoing UEFA Champions league.

They have shown their resilience so far to get to this stage of the competition. However they have been fixed to face another great team which is Athletico Madrid.

These two teams are not strange to themselves as they have meet before and have had previous experiences with each other as far as competitive footballing is concern.

The match is fixed to take place at Arena Nationala as Chelsea plays away to Atletico Madrid where Diego Simeone's men will be trading tackle with Thomas Tuchel's men in an all rewarding UEFA encounter.

The center referee is a German, Felix Brych.

Given this outstanding dorm and performance the Blues are on fire and will and are ready to pose up a tough fight in any encounter. That of Athletico how ever is not an exception. Their current winning form under Thomas Tuchel is what has aided them to rise up on the premiership league table.
