Last night's Champions League draw between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid will probably be seen as a masterclass in tactical defending on Jose Mourinho's behalf.

But European football writer Ben Lyttleton does not think it is a good result for Chelsea based on Atletico Madrid's style.

"I don't think 0 - 0 is a great result for Chelsea. I think they would have preferred to score a goal because Atletico are dangerous on the break. They'll have Arda Turan fully fit and ready to start and when he came on they were a different side. I can see Atletico getting a goal at Stamford Bridge.

Lyttleton was impressed by the physical prowess of this Atletico side and felt they bullied Chelsea - which is remarkable given the amount of store Mourinho places on physicality.

He also gave his take on the mounting injury list following the game and the impact that could have when the teams meet again.
