Schwarzer hails Chelsea character for Atletico Madrid draw

Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer feels they can be proud of their 0-0 draw at Champions League opponents Atletico Madrid.

Schwarzer came on in the 18th minute to replace the injured Petr Cech and make only his eighth appearance for the Chelsea. Cech appeared to dislocate his shoulder in a fall.

"I think everyone was right up for it, as you would expect.

"We have world-class players in the side and we didn't expect anything less.

"We knew if we could match their determination, that our quality could come through.

"Okay, we didn't create too many chances, but we did a good job tonight."
