Coach Comments:

Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea head coach:
“Louis Suárez was born to be a forward. Has a mentality characteristic of attackers. He yearns to score goals. He is never satisfied. We will face him and against all of Atlético. We know his qualities and we will try to stop him from standing out. “
Equipment losses:
Atlético will not be able to help Yannick Carrasco, José María Giménez, Héctor Herrera, Kieran Trippier and Sime Vrsaljko in this match, while Chelsea will have to play without the help of Thiago Silva.
