CHELSEA VS ATLETICO MADRID 1-1 - ALL GOALS & HIGHLIGHTS HD - 5 DEC 2017 - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Daniel Thacker, Chelsea reporter
Antonio Conte, Chelsea coach: “At the same time, I think our opponents won’t be happy to play against us. We’ll see what happens. I remember during the EURO with the national team, we finished first in our group and we played against Spain and then against Germany, and if we’d beaten Germany we’d have had to play France! Sometimes it’s not so important. We’ve reached the next round and we must be happy for this. After a performance like this, the coach must be happy.”

Antonio Conte, Chelsea coach: “When you play this competition and go through to the next round then you must be ready to face the best teams. In this case, we know we could play Barcelona, Paris or Beşiktaş. We must be ready because this is a fantastic competition, the best tournament, and for this reason when you go through you want to try to be a protagonist in this tournament and you must be ready to face every team.“

Antonio Conte, Chelsea coach: “It was a really tough group. Atlético Madrid in the past played a fantastic Champions League. They reached the final and it means our group was very tough.”

Antonio Conte, Chelsea coach: “We deserved to win the game. When you create important chances - not simple chances - you have to try to take them. The goalkeeper was the best player for them and in other circumstances we could be more accurate with our finishing, but at the same time we conceded a goal  that we have to improve. After a corner there was a lot of mistakes and when you play this type of game the details are very important and move the final result. Maybe in our best moment we went 1-0 down, but we tried to draw and then win but for this reason - I repeat - we must be pleased for our group.”
