Champions League: Atletico Madrid 0-1 Chelsea - Giroud's overhead kick stuns Simeone's men in Bucharest

Uefa - Chances were hard to come by in the opening 45 minutes with Thomas Lemar and Timo Werner both failing to turn in teasing crosses at either end. The German striker did at least manage to sting the palms of Jan Oblak with a rising drive as Chelsea had the better of the first half.

The pattern of the game continued after the interval until Mario Hermoso's attempted intervention popped the ball up for Giroud to acrobatically dispatch past the scrambling Oblak and end Chelsea's ten-game winless run in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
