As reported by Africa Sports.com, Chelsea appears to have one foot in the Champions League final following their 0-0 draw against Atletico Madrid last night.
José Mourinho expressed his satisfaction with the result, stating, “The objective was to work as a team. My players were very courageous, very solid. They deserve this result which allows us to still be in the race. It was a very tactical match and no one was able to find the fault. My instructions were not to carry the ball too much because Atlético always press very hard. I wasn’t looking for 0-0. The objective was not to concede a goal. And maybe score some. Afterwards, it’s better to leave with a 0-0 than to have lost, eh! But hey, I would have preferred to win 5-0. We will give everything to win this C1. Besides, I would largely turn this weekend in the Premier League against Liverpool. I will ask permission from the club owner. In any case, we frustrated Atlético. It’s good because usually, they’re the ones who frustrate everyone.”
This draw provides Chelsea with a significant advantage heading into the return match.
