Midfielder Chelsea Cesc Fabregas said that the "blue" intend to complete the group stage of the Champions League in first place.

Before the final round of the group stage of the Champions League 2017/18 Chelsea lead the quartet C, ahead of Roma by two points.

But while the Romans have a home meeting with Garabagh, the team of Antonio Conte will take Atletico, who must win to have a chance to qualify for the playoffs.

"The main goal was achieved - we left the group. However, we are not going to relax, because we want to take first place, and Atletico will be determined, because they are fighting for their chance. It will be a great match, "- said Fabregas".

"I will not lie, that I do not want to win the Champions League. This is a difficult tournament, and I've been playing it for a long time. I played in the semifinals, suffered a severe defeat in the final. In this tournament you should take a little, you need to demonstrate stability and strength, and then, perhaps, it will be the year of Chelsea ".

"Physically, I feel better than I have felt in recent years. I will not say that I have never felt so good, because I simply do not remember how I felt in my youth. I had to adapt to new duties in the defense, although it is clear that the defense was not my strongest quality ".

"At the beginning of last season, the coach did not see me in the scheme 3-4-3, and now he trusts me. He sees that I'm progressing in training and games. I'm 30, but I do not stop learning ".

"What is 30? Nothing. I'm very young. I really think so, based on the position on which I play, and the quality of the game that I demonstrate. I can play many more years, there are many examples here ".

The match between Chelsea and Atletico will be held on Tuesday, December 5. The beginning of the meeting at 21:45 Kiev time.
