There's very little separating Atletico Madrid and Chelsea when it comes to head-to-head European play.
In fact, the teams have each won twice and scored 11 goals during their meetings (with three draws among their seven total matches). They've only squared off once in the knockout stages of the Champions League — a 3-1 aggregate victory for Atletico in the 2013-14 semifinals — so Tuesday's round of 16, first leg, meeting is an opportunity for the Premier League club to pull even in another area.
Chelsea has been in good form of late, winning five straight games in all competitions before its 1-1 league draw with Southampton over the weekend. The Blues are trying to claw their way back into the top four in England, but a good run in the Champions League knockouts will certainly provide a mental boost for the domestic campaign.
As for Atletico, the club leads La Liga thanks in large part to the goal-scoring exploits of Luis Suarez. The former Barcelona star is tied with Lionel Messi atop the domestic goal charts, and his ability to find the net against Chelsea will go a long way in determining which team moves on to the quarterfinals.
