Chelsea will play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16, arguably the most difficult draw that Frank Lampard’s team could have been handed when the draw was made in UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon this morning.
As winners of Group E, the West Londoners will play the first leg away from home. Dates and kick off times will be confirmed this afternoon but the first leg will take place in February and the return game at Stamford Bridge in March.
