Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente fires warning at Chelsea

Atletico Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente says they're up for their Champions League clash with Chelsea.

Without the suspended Mason Mount and Jorginho, Chelsea will be robbed of two players who have been key to Thomas Tuchel's unbeaten start in the job.

And Llorente has warned Atletico are gearing up for another famous win against Premier League opposition.

"The team is eager, psyched up, aware of the game ahead," he told Marca, with Chelsea leading the round 16 tie 1-0 on aggregate. “It is crucial, we are working well and a good game will come out.

“From within we trust ourselves. We have played great games this season. We have very clear ideas and we really want it to come.

"We have played big games when things get ugly. We have to remember what we did to Liverpool, that we are capable of it. We are sure to go for it all and get the victory."
