Chelsea lost their grip on top spot in Group C after being held to a 1-1 draw by Atletico Madrid as Roma leapfrogged the Premier League champions with a 1-0 win over Qarabag. As it stands, Chelsea's only possible last-16 opponents are La Liga leaders Barca, Ligue 1 pacesetters PSG and Turkish giants Besiktas due to English teams leading four of the other seven groups.

However, Conte is not daunted about what lies ahead for Chelsea in Europe. "When you go through to the next round in this competition, you must be prepared to face the best teams," Conte said.

On the match itself in London as Chelsea finished level on 11 points with Roma but adrift due to their head-to-head record, Conte added: "I think it was a good game. A good performance. I think we deserved to win the game.
