SEE IT: Olivier Giroud scores everyone’s backyard goal with bicycle kick
Boy, did this match need this. Today’s Champions League round-of-16 first leg between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid was a chore.

Romelu Lukaku is the best striker in the world
Few fixtures suffer from the lack of fans more than the Milan derby, especially this latest iteration.
