A crucial away goal has been scored by Atlético Madrid
Fernando Torres scored against his old club to give Chelsea the lead after some great work from Willian tore open the Atléti defence.
However, he showed that his old team still has a hugely important place in his heart with a muted celebration.
Adrián López was the man who got the equaliser, and has grabbed only his second goal in this year's Champions League, but you would argue that could be few that end up being as important as this one.
Diego Simeone didn't match Torres' level of celebration, he seemed to be rather more excited than the Spaniard.
The score remained 1-1 into the break, and there's sure to be an exciting second half ahead.
