Chelsea manager Antonio Conte surprised former Blues defender Mario Melchiot with his ambitious approach to last night’s Champions League game against Atletico Madrid.
The Premier League champions produced a superb display to grab a deserved 2-1 win in the Spanish capital, with Conte’s side dominant for much of the game.
Diego Simeone’s notoriously strong and solid side had no answer to some of Chelsea’s football, and Melchiot admits he was particularly impressed to see the Italian take such an approach in a difficult away game.
Chelsea looked to be heading for a draw after Alvaro Morata cancelled out Antoine Griezmann’s opener, but they kept on going as Michy Batshuayi scored a crucial winner in stoppage time to seal all three points.
