Five Talking Points from the UEFA Champions League first leg draw: Atlético Madrid 0-0 Chelsea

In a game that was dominated by both defenses, Chelsea came away with a creditable 0-0 draw and will go into the second leg, still very much in the reckoning to make it to the final. Here are the major talking points from the game.

#1 Torres fails to impress on his return

Torres’ form ever since he made his move to Chelsea hasn’t made for good reading. This season has also been following the same pattern but a return to his old stomping ground, a place where is still considered as a hero was supposed to bring out the best in him. Unfortunately for Chelsea, Torres looked like a man lost at sea, devoid of any support and unable to do anything other than ponder about what could have been. With his side more worried about defending than coming forward to support him, Torres was often seen alone, with just the home side’s defenders for company. And when he was given support, Torres couldn’t conjure up anything worthwhile and his return didn’t go according to the script at all.
