UEFA Champions League, Group C: Mattress Makers Salvage Home Draw With Qarabag; Roma Too Much For Chelsea

Two UEFA Champions League Group C games were contested  on Tuesday.

At Madrid:



Thomas Partey's equalizer in the 59th minute enabled Atletico Madrid to salvage a 1-1 home draw with ten-man Qarabag.  Michel scored for the Azerbaijani club in the 40th minute.  Here's the Mattress Makers' Saul Niguez (front) controlling the ball.

At Rome:

Stephan el Shaarawy scored twice (1', 36') as AS Roma dominated visiting Chelsea 3-0.  I wonder how Blues coach Antonio Conte (pictured here) felt after the blowout defeat.
