Nchout and Ajibade's Atletico Madrid crash out of Champions League after Chelsea draw

Ajara Nchout and Rasheedat Ajibade's Atletico Madrid have been eliminated from the 2020-21 Women's Champions League following their side's Round of 16 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Wednesday.

Heading into the second leg of the last 16, Jose Luis Sanchez's ladies were smarting from a 2-0 first-leg defeat at Kingsmeadow, needing a win by at least two unanswered goals to scale through.

Against the Blues in Monza, the Spanish side, who were forced to play their home tie in Italy due to Covid-19 restrictions could not progress despite leaving it late to earn a draw at U-Power Stadium.
