Chelsea to face Atletico Madrid

The UEFA Champions League semi-finals draw has pitted Chelsea against Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid will face holders Bayern Munich.

Jose Mourinhos side will play the second leg at Stamford Bridge but the talking point will surely be the eligibility of Thibaut Courtois, who is on loan from Chelsea.

However, UEFA released a statement prior to today’s draw saying they “forbid any club to exert, or attempt to exert, any influence whatsoever over the players that another club may (or may not) field in a match.”

The first leg will take place on the 22nd and 23rd of April, with the return legs on the 29th and 30th of April.

Let us know how you feel about today’s draw.
