MADRID — Atletico Madrid will need some help if it is to advance from the group stage of the Champions League for the fifth straight season. After being held by 10-man Qarabag to a 1-1 draw in Group C on Tuesday, Atletico is still winless after four matches. Atletico needs to win its last two matches, against Roma and at Chelsea, and hope that one of them slips up against Qarabag. “The red card made things difficult for us but we need to be ready for all circumstances,” Qarabag coach Gurban Gurbanov said. Atletico also went down a man in the final minutes after defender Stefan Savic was sent off with a second yellow card.
