Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has a plan to stop high flying Luis Suarez in the Champions League.

The Blues take on the Spanish giants in a round of 16 first leg clash on Tuesday.

They will be hoping to secure an advantage for the second leg, but Azpi will be all too aware of the threat Atleti and Suarez pose.

"The best way to defend against him is to keep him as far as possible from the goal and that's a collective job," Azpilicueta told reporters.

"I faced him when he was at Liverpool and Barcelona in the Champions League so I know he's a great striker.

"We know his numbers and we know wherever he has played, he has scored lots of goals so we have to try to defend against him together and keep all their attacking players away from our goal."
