    Chelsea manager Emma Hayes speaking to BT Sport: "I said to the team I'm so proud of them. The leadership in my group is unbelievable. I don't know how many teams could go down to 10 against Atletico and do what we did.

    "I don't think it was about resilience because we already have that - it was about discipline. I thought we were brilliant.

    "I always bang on about our character and I think it showed. Everyone tuned in and I thought they were extremely calm [after the red card]."

    On Ann-Katrin Berger's two penalty saves: "I think the first one was crucial because it's a time when you might wonder how difficult the evening is going to be. The second penalty we conceded was reckless on our part but Ann and our back four deserved the clean sheet."

    Erin Cuthbert boots a ball clear and almost sets Sam Kerr away, but Aissatou Tounkara is back to sweep up the danger.

    You can certainly forgive Kerr for not quite having the legs to cause problems from that one at this late stage.
