At Stamford Bridge, Diego Simeone’s team played differently than in the first leg, having to win to advance.

Chelsea is a more proactive team
In the 19th minute, Timo Wener had space in the Atletico penalty area.
15 minutes later, Kai Havertz opened a quick counterattack for the home team with a through ball that was just right for Werner’s speed.
