A great bicycle kick from Olivier Giroud was the deciding factor on Tuesday-evening in the first game between Atlético Madrid and Chelsea in the eighth finals of the Champions League: 0-1. At 34 years and 146 days, the forward has become the oldest ever goalscorer the Blues in the knockout stage of the European tournament. It was also his sixth Champions League goal of the season; a personal best. Watch the summary of the game in Bucharest below.

For Chelsea finalist Edouard Mendy, it was the fifth time this season that he kept the zero in a Champions League game; more than any other goalkeeper this football year. Chelsea thus kept the zero for the third time in a row against a Spanish opponent in a European context; that had never happened in the club history of the Londoners.
