hello everyone great to be with you from stamford bridge please make sure i'm derek ray joined by
lee dixon in the commentary position and this is where it all starts in the uefa champions league
the group stage and match day one my goodness so much to look forward to it's chelsea against
atletico madrid it's very important that you're not playing catch-ups in the group stages match
day one comparative you get off to a good start number 17. number three marcos alonso
here's the lineup for chelsea antonio rudiger starts with andreas christensen in central defense
matteo kovic starts with angola conte in the center of the park
and team over now starts with olivier giroud
and this is the starting lineup for atletico
black gets the northern goal stephan savage starts alongside jose maria jimenez in central defence
and the story and attack is one of a strike partnership
it's the opening match day champions league group stage match day one underway
matteo kovich he's got space
electing to cross into the center well thumped clear
well perfectly understandable that luis suarez might strike fear on the opposing defenders late
well we say to each other in the back four don't give him a yard because he will score
don't give this lad half a yard he's such a great finisher and the decision is one of offside here
well read to win possession back
carrasco and the attack looks promising no not the best challenge
can he put them in front yes is the emphatic answer and you have to say it was on the cards
well there's all types of goals spectacular headers overhead kicks this is a simple one
but it still adds up to a goal on the scoresheet well the goal again albeit from a different angle
well a manager knows the importance of that goal he also knows that you're at your most
vulnerable just after you've scored so back underway with atletico in charge
olivier giroud vienna with it now
mateo kovacic and chelsea have given us
away lamar
it needs an accurate cross
carrasco defensive brazilians to shut them down
and through by commentates
routine really
just cutting off the supply
joao felix has a thorough understanding of defending aspirin
zero
oh carrasco a super bowl over the top
well what an opportunity but really good defending you've got to say
it was a menacing attack but tidied up well no mistake from the keeper acting decisively
mounts
intelligent threaded pass here
fine use of the ball
zero it's got to be keeper getting the touch oh he's given us away inexplicably and pulled back
conte fruitful looking attack it looks promising what a vital intervention
well it's always up the discretion of the referee in this case opting not to book him
a goal it is a confidently taken penalty
well here's the replay and it's a bit of a weird one for me
he goes straight the keeper is there and yet it still goes in madness
well derek the frustration's boiling over on the
touchline he's not happy at all with the last five or ten minutes
well the earlier goal cancelled out one a piece
well just one minute of time added on for stoppages here
marcos jorente cocay with it
savage and the first 45 minutes have come and gone here at stamford bridge
we just don't expect to see luis suarez fail lee
delivering here well derek i'm happy with his first 45 minutes i'm sure you heart and
so the second half of this champions league group stage match day one contest commences
carrasco here's lamar and a throw in forthcoming
marcos jorente suarez and now lamar already closing him down here
not too fussy in clearing his lines
joao
fully deserved
as we can see right place at the right time striker's instinct is to be there
or thereabouts keeper has no chance well let's take another look at that girl shall we
we're going to find out
rudiger has it james mount corte now losing custody of it kante
and 30 minutes left for play in this match jimenez marcos yorente has it
at times they make passing look easy
now he must favor the cross
juvente onto cocaine
lamar
and a powerful effort but just lacking accuracy
yeah narrowly wide derrick decent effort he smashed it
substitution well he's doing everything in his power to
help his team get over the line here he's kicking every ball coming onto the pitch
here's christensen
intercepting it intelligently
well they really had to be on their toes defensively given the circumstances
what can chelsea do from this position
giving it a try well that's gone in a goal for chelsea who now are level
wow what technique when the ball comes to you and you don't need a touch and you can just
whack it first time like this what a goal
slightly different vantage point in terms of the goal that the score
well it's not easy being a manager and that's why they've let him down a bit there
chelsea once again the sides are level it's a kaleidoscope of shifting emotions
and it's a matter of what occurs in the final 15 minutes suarez
and chelsea moving the ball forward what can they do from here
credit to them for winning back possession
saul
thinking defensively aspiring
progress made by chelsea and at this late stage a goal could be decisive they've got it now
what can they do happy to take on the shots oh the goalkeeper did well to hang on to that one
cocaine on the bourgeois failings the referee has decided to give the free kick to atletico
substitution for atletico
well taking into account all the stoppages two minutes to be added on
before would they go again can they win this olivier giroud can he convert and kept out by
ximenez and the chance it is for chelsea from the corner played into the center of the box
over it comes gets his glove on it
and there's the whistle they can't be separated after 90 minutes
you
