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.

31' - Vasili Berezutski meets Vitinho's low corner but the veteran defender's first-time effort goes over the crossbar. That was a half chance for CSKA.

37' - After an almighty scramble in the United penalty area the ball falls to Alan Dzagoev, who plays it back to Vitinho. The Brazilian shoots first time with his left foot but the ball sails over Sergio Romero's crossbar. 

CSKA have had some decent chances in the last 10 minutes but they need to start hitting the target.

47' - Great strike. Marcus Rashford leads a United break and opts to go alone, beating a couple of defenders before unleashing a powerful drive at goal. The strike is straight at Igor Akinfeev though and the Russian goalkeeper palms the ball away.
