Matchpack: Chelsea v Atletico Madrid

TEAM NEWSCaptain John Terry is fit to play in the Champions League final in Wednesday's semi-final second leg at home to Atletico Madrid, while Eden Hazard (calf) and Samuel Eto'o (knee) could feature. Mark Schwarzer is expected to start in goal ahead of Petr Cech (shoulder), even though the Czech goalkeeper began training with the squad on Tuesday in an apparent diversion tactic by Jose Mourinho. Branislav Ivanovic is likely to play right-back with Cesar Azpilicueta switching to the left to push Ashley Cole out of the starting XI, while Frank Lampard and John Obi Mikel (both suspended) and Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah (both ineligible) are out.Atletico Madrid are without Gabi as he is suspended, while defender Javi Manquillo is expected to miss out due to a neck problem.MANAGER QUOTESJose Mourinho on John Terry: "I think the Champions League owes him something, Mourinho said. I think he deserves more than the Champions League has given to him till now. He lost a few semi-finals in special circumstances; he lost the final also in special circumstances. He won a final, also in special circumstances, because he couldn't play the final. My captain is playing at the same level as when I left Chelsea in 2007/08. Six or seven years later he is playing at his best level. It's fair to say that. It's also fair to say that the people that surround him are playing also fantastic. I think his partnership with (Gary) Cahill is fantastic and people that work together in the same areas they are doing a fantastic job. I'm really happy to see a player like him, six or seven years later, to be back to the same level."Diego Simeone on Jose Mourinho's tactics: "I'm a football man, I respect different ways of setting out your team. You can play 10 at the back or you can play 10 at the front. It doesn't matter. What matters is the result. It depends what you believe is the convenient way of playing and who you're playing against. To defend well is not easy, so you have to congratulate a team that defends well. To attack well is not easy either, so you have to congratulate also a team that goes on the attack. It's important that, regardless of how you play, that the team wins, that the club wins, that the institution as a whole wins."MATCH FACTSChelsea are unbeaten in their last 16 clashes with Spanish sides in the Champions League (W6 D10), with their last defeat coming against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in February 2006.Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have met four times previously, three times in the Champions League and once in the European Super Cup; both teams have won once along with two draws.Chelsea are unbeaten against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League (W1 D2); having met in the 2009/10 Group Stages before their 0-0 draw in the first leg of this tie.Atletico have travelled to England nine times previously in European competition (excluding qualifiers); winning only once (at Leicester City in September 1997, D4 L4).Atletico Madrid have reached the semi-finals of the European Cup/Champions League for the first time since 1974 when they eventually lost in the final against Bayern Munich after a replay.45% of Atletico’s goals in the Champions League this season have been scored in the opening and closing 15 minutes of games (10 out of 22).Atletico Madrid are the only team unbeaten in the Champions League this season (eight wins, three draws).Chelsea have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the seventh time since 2003/04, the joint-highest tally with Barcelona in that time.Chelsea have only lost one of their last 11 Champions League matches in the knockout stages (1-3 v PSG in this season’s quarter finals first leg).61% of Chelsea’s goals in the Champions League this season have been scored in the first-half (11 out of 18).86% of goals conceded by Chelsea in the Champions League this season have come in the second-half (6 out of 7).Diego Costa has scored seven goals in seven Champions League games (one assist).This is the eighth time in 10 full seasons as manager that José Mourinho has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
