That is it from me for now, thanks for following along. IBTimes UK will be back tomorrow evening to bring you live coverage of Arsenal's Europa League tie against Belarusian champions BATE Borisov.

Until then, it's goodbye.

A quick look at the other full-time scores before we leave you. Strong wins for Manchester United and Celtic make this a particularly memorable night for British teams in Europe.

FC Basel's thrashing of Benfica also stands out, as does Paris Saint-Germain's comfortable victory over Bayern Munich.

Atletico will be keen to move on from their first defeat in any competition this season. They travel to Leganes this weekend before hosting Barcelona.

Their next Champions League tie is against Qarabag in Baku.

That last-gasp win takes Chelsea top of Group C. A further confidence boost before they entertain Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday.

Next up in Europe is a potentially tricky double-header against Roma. They host the Italians on 18 October.

A moment for Chelsea fans to savour as the camera immediately pans to a distraught-looking Diego Costa in the stands. What a night for the visitors in Madrid.

Full-time

Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea

Stunning late drama at the Wanda Metropolitano as Chelsea claim victory with literally the last kick of the game.

The Blues decide to work the ball short and they get their reward for that patience when substitute Batshuayi sweeps home from close range after being picked out by Alonso. There was also a great little flick from Bakayoko to keep that attack alive.

Michy Batshuayi

Goal: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea (Michy Batshuayi)

Koke kicks David Luiz, who starts holding his face for some bizarre reason. Last chance for Chelsea from a free-kick.

Atletico are doing all the pressing late on here. Gimenez finds a lot of space and drives a poor shot over the top.

He wants a corner, but he's not going to get it.

David Luiz clears a long throw-in and Cahill demonstrates good strength to stop the disappointing Griezmann in his tracks.

Three minutes of added time have been signalled by the fourth official. Is this entertaining contest destined to end in a draw, or is there a late twist in the tale to come?

Torres attempts to connect with Gimenez's cross but the ball sails harmlessly out of play for a goal kick.

Conte engineers something of a reshuffle, withdrawing Fabregas and sending on Christensen. David Luiz looks to be moving into midfield for the final few minutes.

Bakayoko looks to get away with a silly late foul on Torres. That could potentially have been a penalty.

Willian then inexplicably gifts possession back to Griezmann, who cannot test Courtois.

Willian replaces Hazard and Morata, whistled off the pitch by the passionate home fans, makes way for Batshuayi.

Griezmann wins a free-kick off Cahill but again his delivery from a decent area leaves a lot to be desired. Kante clears.

Willian and Michy Batshuayi are both about to come on for Chelsea. Fabregas sloppily concedes possession and breathes a sigh of relief as Saul curls a shot into the arms of Courtois.

Twitter/@WhoScored

Torres somewhat greedily fires straight at Courtois and Simeone looks to his bench for the third and final time tonight. Gimenez comes on for Partey.

Hazard's cross finds a path all the way through to Kante. The French midfielder steps inside Gaitan and creates space for a shot that fizzes wide.

Simeone's second substitution in as many minutes sees Nico Gaitan replace Correa. 20 minutes remaining of this finely-poised Champions League encounter.

A very familiar face to both sets of supporters enters the fray. Carrasco makes way for Torres.

Godin rises to meet a searching free-kick but is whistled for climbing all over the back of Cahill.

Partey then launches a wretched shot into orbit.

Chelsea should score a second goal in quick succession after Atletico fail to adequately clear their lines. However, Fabregas looks to get his boot caught in the turf and a tame left-footed effort from close range goes wide.

Luiz switches the play to Hazard, who stands up Juanfran before delivering a sumptuous cross into the six-yard box.

Morata gets across his marker and uses the pace of the delivery to glance a header beyond Oblak and into the far corner.

That's his first Champions League goal for Chelsea. Atletico will be furious that the first opposition player to score at the Wanda Metropolitano is a former Real Madrid man.

Alvaro Morata

Goal: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Chelsea (Alvaro Morata)

Moses tries to pick out the bottom corner but drags a low shot well wide. Morata is then unable to direct Fabregas' long pass goalwards.

Griezmann is the latest player to have his name taken for a cynically mistimed sliding challenge on Hazard.

Cahill gets his head to Fabregas' free-kick and Koke produces a committed block to repel an ambitious shot from Hazard.

Azpilicueta whips a glorious ball into the six-yard box after a strong run down the Chelsea right, but it's just too high for Morata to head home at the back post.

The striker then accidentally catches Juanfran with a reckless swinging arm. No card.

Saul gets a run on Bakayoko and diverts his header over the crossbar. Lucas also makes a crucial intervention to thwart Morata.

Cahill brings down Correa and the Atletico bench - particularly Simeone - fervently appeal for a booking. Referee Cakir settles for a warning only.

Partey goes through the back of Morata and is promptly shown a yellow card.

Fabregas' free-kick into the box is again headed clear by Saul.

The second half is off and running. No changes from either manager just yet.

Can Chelsea find a route back into this tie?

A glimpse at the half-time scores from around the continent...

Twitter/@ChampionsLeague

A strong finish to the opening period from Atletico, who were comfortably second best for the most part until David Luiz's moment of stupidity. The Brazilian is likely to get an earful from Conte at the break.

Half-time

Atletico Madrid 1-0 Chelsea

Correa carves Chelsea open and Courtois parries Koke's low strike into the path of Saul, who sends the rebound wide.

Atletico should have doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time.

Chelsea appeal for a penalty of their own after Alonso's shot appears to hit the arm of Filipe Luis. Nothing given.

Cahill's subsequent drive is deflected over by Partey. The visitors looking for an immediate response.

No mistake from the Frenchman, who confidently blasts a powerful effort straight down the middle with Courtois already committed to the dive.

Antoine Griezmann

Goal: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Chelsea (Antoine Griezmann)

David Luiz foolishly pulls at Lucas' shirt and the referee immediately points to the spot before producing a yellow card.

Griezmann to take the spot-kick...

Penalty to Atletico

The first real moment of panic for Chelsea arrives in the 35th minute as Griezmann almost managed to turn home a cross at the front post after good work from Correa.

Carrasco hopeful drive is deflected behind for a corner.

Muted appeals for a Chelsea penalty there as Juanfran and Alonso tussled at the free-kick. Never likely to be given.

Alert defending from Saul to head clear Fabregas' free-kick at the front post. Still goalless at the Wanda after 32 minutes as Chelsea control possession and probe patiently for another opening to frustrated whistles from the home supporters.

While Chelsea have made an encouraging start to this game, Premier League title rivals Manchester United are absolutely cruising in Moscow.

A brace from Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial's penalty has them 3-0 up on CSKA inside half an hour.

Twitter/@GuillemBalague

Fabregas and Kante combine to tee up Hazard, whose quick low drive is easily dealt with by Oblak.

Atletico are consistently affording the Belgian far too much space.

Morata connects with David Luiz's superb floated cross to the back post and Oblak is forced to tip his header over the crossbar.

Simeone cannot be happy with how his side have started this contest.

Kante, every bit as influential as Hazard on this sort of form, comes very close to punishing Atletico for some ill-advised and poorly-executed passing inside their own penalty area.

His momentum is stopped when he is harshly penalised for a supposed high foot on Filipe Luis.

Atletico win a free-kick in a dangerous position out on the right-hand flank after Marcos Alonso catches Correa.

However, Griezmann's overhit delivery causes no problems in the Chelsea box.

Tiemoue Bakayoko wins possession for the impressive N'Golo Kante, who feeds the ball to orchestrator-in-chief Hazard.

He then finds Morata, who is dispossessed by a fair sliding challenge from Lucas.

Alvaro Morata

Woodwork!

We said Hazard looked in the mood. The former PFA Player of the Year combines nicely with Morata before winding up a long-range effort that takes a deflection before crashing back off the post.

Conte and Simeone are two of the most passionate, flamboyant and animated managers in European football.

You fear for the fourth official's hearing as the two bark out instructions from the touchline this evening.

Hazard fools Lucas Hernandez with an excellent touch and Morata gets away from Godin before sending another shot wide of Jan Oblak's right-hand post.

Chelsea - and particularly their sparkling number 10 - are looking very bright here early on.

No signs of rust from Hazard on what is only his second start of the season. The Belgian receives possession from Fabregas and cuts inside two Atletico defenders before shooting into the side netting.

An early sight of goal for Morata after a powerful central run from Hazard. The Spaniard drills a low shot wide of the far post.

Saul wins an early corner off Cahill that is cleared by Victor Moses. Morata winning himself no friends in the early exchanges.

Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir gets proceedings underway. Atletico, kicking from right to left in this first half, are decked out in their familiar red and white striped home shirts.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are donning their new dark grey third kit that includes a camouflage pattern and electric blue markings.

The teams emerge from the tunnel and line up for the traditional pre-match Champions League anthem and handshakes.

From the sounds of things, it does seem like the Wanda Metropolitano will be any different from the Calderon in terms of raucous atmosphere...

A rough reception for the former Real Madrid frontman...

Tonight's other game in Group C has already been completed, with goals from Kostas Manolas and Edin Dzeko securing a 2-1 win for Roma over Qarabag in Baku.

The hosts' first ever Champions League goal was scored by PAOK loanee Pedro Henrique.

Eusebio Di Francesco's side temporarily go top of the pile on four points.

A look at Atletico's stylish new home from the outside...

Wanda Metropolitano

There is simply no denying that Atletico's home record in the Champions League with Simeone at the helm is mightily impressive.

Los Colchoneros, twice finalists in the last three years who lost to cross-city rivals Real Madrid in the last four in 2016-17, won 18 and lost only one of their 23 CL home matches under the passionate Argentine at the old Vicente Calderon.

They have also kept clean sheets in 16 of their last 19 Champions League outings on home soil. There appear to have been no early teething problems at the Wanda Metropolitano and it would not come as a shock to see such a stellar run continue.

Atletico, it is worth mentioning, are also unbeaten in their last four competitive meetings against 2012 winners Chelsea, who have reached the knockout stages of this competition 13 times in their last 14 attempts. Both previous games in Madrid have ended level (2-2 and 0-0).

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is a popular figure around these parts, having won four trophies - including the La Liga title, the Europa League and the Copa del Rey - and helped Atletico to reach the Champions League final during an enormously successful three-year loan stint between 2011-14.

"I went from a kid to being a real man there," the Belgian said this week of his time spent in Madrid.

Courtois, Costa and Torres all have plaques in the Spanish capital.

Thibaut Courtois

Conte makes four changes to the side that thrashed Stoke 4-0, with Luiz and captain Gary Cahill preferred to Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger alongside Cesar Azpilicueta in that back three.

Hazard starts as expected, as does Cesc Fabregas. Pedro and Willan also drop to the bench.

Twitter/@ChelseaFC

Stefan Savic and Vrsaljko make way for Godin and Juanfran, while it is Thomas Partey - and not Gabi - that partners Saul Niguez in central midfield. Angel Correa replaces Luciano Vietto in the final third.

Former Chelsea left-back Filipe Luis also starts against his former employers, with Torres named on the bench alongside Gimenez.

Twitter/@atletienglish

The teams have been named...

Defending Premier League champions Chelsea have amassed the same number of points as Atletico and currently trail the free-scoring Manchester clubs by three points after Alvaro Morata - who has made the transition to life after fellow Spaniard Costa very easy indeed - put Stoke to the sword over the weekend.

They also equalled their largest margin of victory in the Champions League with a 6-0 drubbing of Azerbaijani debutants FK Qarabag.

Deadline day signing Danny Drinkwater is Antonio Conte's only confirmed absentee, with the England midfielder recovering from a calf problem that will delay his debut until October. David Luiz, who is one game away from completing a three-match domestic suspension, is expected to play despite breaking his wrist in the goalless draw with Arsenal.

Eden Hazard has started just once for Chelsea across all competitions this season after working his way back from ankle surgery, but has been described by Conte as "totally fit and in contention". He should feature from the off here, although Pedro is again dealing with some sort of knock.

Atletico currently sit second in La Liga, four points adrift of leaders Barcelona and one ahead of Sevilla after winning four and losing none of their opening six matches. They began their latest European excursion by failing to break down AS Roma in a frustrating goalless draw at the Stadio Olimpico.

Diego Simeone has the luxury of a fully-fit squad to choose from this evening as his side look to maintain their 100% start to life in a new stadium, with Torres and Jose Maria Gimenez both returning to the 18-man group after missing a 2-0 victory over Sevilla on Saturday secured courtesy of goals from Antoine Griezmann and Yannick Carrasco.

Defenders Diego Godin and Juanfran should both be restored to the starting XI after being rested for that aforementioned win, although Axel Werner, Kevin Gameiro, Sime Vrsaljko and Augusto Fernandez have all been left out.

Good evening and welcome to the second night of IBTimes UK's comprehensive live coverage of matchday two of the 2017-18 Champions League.

Updates from CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United and all of this evening's other matches are being provided by my colleague Tony Mogan, but here our focus falls solely upon one of the week's marquee fixtures as Chelsea provide the opposition for Atletico Madrid on their very first European night at the newly-opened 68,000-capacity Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

Diego Costa's name has inevitably been heavily mentioned in the build-up to this eagerly-anticipated clash after he officially completed his club-record £58m return to Los Colchoneros earlier this week, but it is worth remembering that the fiery striker is now ineligible to play again until January.

These two teams have met four times previously in this competition, twice in the group stage in 2009 and again during the 2014 semi-finals. On the latter occasion, counter-attacking Atletico bounced back from an early Fernando Torres goal and Costa scored from the spot in a devastating 3-1 second-leg triumph at Stamford Bridge.

They also went head-to-head in the Super Cup back in 2012, when future Chelsea loanee Radamel Falcao ran amok in a thumping 4-1 victory for the Europa League holders in Monaco.
