Chelsea FC, watch out! As expected, atletico will do 'anything' to win! ??
ATHLETICO WIN@
This is a perfect match for Atletico to bottle.
Can a basketball ball team win the championship league or ronnie o Sullivan win the darts
Dirty? ?
Why's that? Chelsea aren't very good….
I am a Chelsea fan but if Chelsea lose to Atletico in round of 16 I would love to see them win UEFA Champions League.
Atletico are clear favorites. Remember the English pundits last season who said Liverpool will walk the tie!
Chelsea got the capability to win with thier player. But i think not this season. Chelsea is still struggling and yet to achieve any win against epl big side. Chelsea gonna lose to atletico with current performance
Dirty?
Chelsea is becoming dirty too
See mount chillwell James and havertz how they are playing body game
So don’t degrade other league teams by saying dirty
Chelsea will be destroyed completely the youngsters doesnt have experience at all
I fear of simple defensive errors atleti makes. If there's no savic n gimenez it's gonna be a problem. Also saul n koke should be fit for the tie in feb. Herrera n felipe always have a tendency to commit silly errors which could ruin the entire game. Felipe n Herrera made simple mistakes vs real and vs bayern.
Atletico is the most scoring team in la liga and have only concedeed 3 in 11 matches. I see atletico win but is close
Atletico Madrid can win Chelsea easily…but things can happen
If athleti were in Chelsea group, they would not have made it out. Just like in 2017
Lampard will guide Chelsea out of Champions league… He can't manage a club like Chelsea
Wolves just pushed through and won from behind against Chelsea like they were nothing. Athleti will go past them, games will be gritty tho
Atletico has a 200% chance of going thru…chelsea has no chance.
Atletico doesn’t play “dirty”…. they just play hard physically. Nothing wrong with that. Should be an interesting couple of matches
Chelsea I mean lol
Attack them as Liverpool do and easily swept aside
We have a better chance of winning in Stamford bridge but atleti have Suarez,Costa and Joao felix DEADLY ATTACK (THE.DARK.ARTS)
"win dirty" Clowns FC have no clue. Did Atletico 'win dirty' when they spanked Loserfools out of UCL?
