Currently in unstoppable form on the domestic scene, La Liga leaders Atlético Madrid are unbeaten in 13 UEFA Champions League (UCL) home games (W9, D4). The hosts are obvious favourites to win this leg, and any winning goal might come late, as three of Atlético’s last five UCL home victories have seen their deciding goal come beyond the 75th minute.
Chelsea remain unbeaten under the management of Thomas Tuchel, but trailed at HT for the first time under his fledgling regime at the weekend, recovering to snatch a draw via Mason Mount’s second-half penalty. It was also from a 12-yard stare that Chelsea got their last Premier League away win, and both goals – curiously – arrived between the 50th-59th minutes of play.
