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.

75' - Paul Pogba drives a shot over the bar from distance when a pass to substitute Anthony Martial might have been better advised. Really sloppy from United's record signing.

81' - Luke Shaw looks to really be struggling with his fitness now. The full-back has barely played this season but he's going to have to finish this game as Jose Mourinho has already made all three of his substitutions.

84' - Great save! Alan Dzagoev goes through one-on-one with Sergio Romero and the Argentine comes out on top, denying the CSKA attacker at his near post.

Post-match quotes from Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford

Juan Mata

On the importance of winning the match: "We needed to win. We were already qualified, we just needed a point (to win the group). We always want to win. We had a few good chances in the first half, we scored twice in the second and we are so happy. We go into the weekend's game in the best conditions."

On Sunday's derby: "It's important to win for your confidence. On Sunday there is a big game, we know how important it is. Tomorrow we rest and from Thursday we work. Hopefully it's a good game of football and hopefully we can get three points."

Marcus Rashford

On scoring the winner: "It's a good feeling to get on the score sheet. The most important thing is to qualify and go into the weekend with no injures."
