Chelsea plays Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in the second leg of the 2014 Champions League semifinal. The match begins at 2:45 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream below.
Chelsea came away from the first leg at Atletico with a 0-0 score. Their staunch defense continued on Sunday in a 2-0 win over Liverpool in the Premier League. The Blues need a strong defensive showing again against Atletico, who enjoys the away team advantage if the two clubs score the same number of goals on Wednesday.
"They are a good side," Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said of Atletico, via IB Times. "They are not a counterattacking side. They are a good side. They defend well. They score goals. They win matches. They are in the semifinals of the Champions League and need two victories to be Spanish champions.
"I have respect for what they are doing because to be in a Champions League semifinal is not for every club, and to have the possibility of winning the league against Barcelona and Real Madrid is something that deserves respect. ...
"It is a knockout game, a game of details, a game where maybe one goal is the difference. It is a game where everybody needs to be at the top level."
Atletico, meanwhile, is coming off a 1-0 win against Valencia in Sunday's Liga match.
