Chelsea make history with Atletico victory


A victory away in Champions League is almost always a result to be proud of. It's even more impressive when it comes against a top side.

Chelsea managed to check all those boxes and more on Wednesday as they did something never before accomplished by an English club — win away against Atletico Madrid.

After Antoine Griezmann put the hosts in front via a spot kick in the first half, a goal from Alvaro Morata in the 59th minute leveled the proceedings. It appeared the teams would then share the points, only for Michy Batshuayi, on for Morata, to bag the winner four minutes into stoppage time.

The 2-1 Blues victory not only stunned the Atletico supporters at the new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano stadium, but also broke that English duck against the Liga giants.
