Chelsea drew with Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge and in doing so gave up top spot in their group to Roma, who beat Qarabag in Italy 1-0.

Saul Niguez put Atletico ahead with a header but Eden Hazard equalised with a left-footed strike in the second half.

The results meant Atletico have been eliminated from the competition and will now head into the Europa League draw.

It’s a big game form:

Diego Simeone. Atletico Madrid are standing on the brink of elimination from the Champions League – a scenario that few would have predicted at the start of the season for the 2016 finalists. The Spaniards have been far from their best in Europe, though, with the likes of Antoine Griezmann notably struggling to deliver. Simeone needs a miracle from his men, otherwise the club will have to content themselves with Europa League football. After that, who knows what the future will hold for the Argentine who has been linked with an exit in the last few years. Could tonight’s outcome determine his future at the club? Quite possibly.

The players are out on the pitch at Old Trafford. Kick-off is just under five minutes away!

1' - We are underway in Manchester!

4' - Off the post! Romelu Lukaku controls the ball really well from Juan Mata's lofted pass and after a short run plays Marcus Rashford through on goal with a lovely reverse through ball. The 20-year-old can't find the back of the net though as his scuffed left-footed shot hits the inside of Igor Akinfeev's far post and comes back out.

11' - CSKA Moscow looked really bright in the first three or four minutes of the game but United have grown into it and look the more likely team to open the scoring. Since Rashford's early effort that hit the post, both Antonio Valencia and Daley Blind have had well-struck efforts on goal blocked.

15' - Chance! Juan Mata shows sublime skill to pluck Daley Blind's long ball out of the air down the left wing before playing the ball inside to Marcus Rashford, who takes a touch and attempts to shape the ball into the far corner. Igor Akinfeev is equal to the effort though and parries the shot away.

20' - What an effort! Luke Shaw almost gives United the lead with a stunning volley but his effort from Antonio Valencia's cross is saved by Igor Akinfeev down to his left.

That would've been a great way to kick-start his season.

22' - Luke Shaw has looked superb in these early stages.

After almost opening the scoring a couple of minutes ago he comes close to teeing up Marcus Rashford for a tap-in but his square ball across the face of the six-yard box has just a little too much on it for the England forward.

26' - Vitinho has a rare shot for the visitors but his strike from the edge of the penalty area is high and wide of Sergio Romero's goal.
