I guess it will be a shocker for all teams who still think they can beat this guys and then go into the field unprepared. Other teams who are watching this guys will sure be afraid of goign against them because Chelsea guys now play like lions. They are fearless and go against any team with great courage.
The score was indeed an unexpected one for many because so far so good, Atletico Madrid have been there best on the field but seeing how Chelsea whipped with a 2-0 on Wednesday was a shcoking experience everyone never expected.
Although from the first leg, Chelsea had a 1-0 score and that was to their advantage in this second leg but I expected that this Wednesday night's Champions League match at Stamford Atletico would want to take the victory this time around but unfortunately, they just couldn't make it even when they had chances.
Chelsea win on Wednesday night which has helped them secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2014 and have left them unbeaten in 13 games since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as coach in January.
Although the Atletico Madrid were really tough but they made a mistake by having some spaces in the back of the midfield which gave Chelsea team some chances to exploit them and use that to their advantage.

The Madrid team was left with a 10 men standing till the end of the game after Stefan Savic was kicked out of the game by the referee with a red card for elbowing Chelsea defender.
It is obvious Thomas Tuchel so far so good has really worked on Chelsea defence because Atletico Madrid treid tirelessly to open up Chelsea's defence but they couldn't. Those guys are really tough and it is impossible to break them down when there midfielder Kante is looking unbreakable to go through.
After seven years of not been able to reach the quarter-finals, they finally did it and they did it comfortably with a 3-0 win. I would say they deserve the win. They have really stepped up so far so good so I guess I would say this win is what I call compensation for all the bad years and all the bad years under Lampard reign.
The Goals from Hakim Ziyech and Emerson was indeed an amazing one. even though Atletico did have two penalty shouts, they just couldn't help themselves out of the mess since Chelsea team were really dominating possession of the ball.
There defence, there possession of the ball and their counter-attack was a complete great performance from them. N'Golo Kante did an amazing job on the field and deserves an accolade. They= were able to hold down Atletico Madrid in the match to stop them from scoring so they could secure the quarter finals.
