STARTING XI:
Jorgensen - 6: Shouldโve saved the penalty, otherwise didnโt have much to do.
Caicedo - 8: Tucked into midfield from right-back and looked ever so comfortable, scoring again albeit with deflection.
Fofana - 7: Picked up an assist for Guiuโs goal and dealt well with Weghorstโs bullishness.
Tosin - 6: Struggled and often made a meal when competing for aerial duels. Gave away silly penalty too.
Hato - 7: Was tested a lot 1v1 and looked exploitable in 1st half. Much improved in the second half.
Fernandez - 7.5: Ruined the flow of attacks on occasions but netted a penalty.
Lavia - 7: Quality showing from the Belgian who oozed quality with his passes forward.
Estevao - 9 [MOTM]: Scored his first UCL goal and couldโve had four. Always showed for the ball, exciting display again.
Buonanotte - 7.5: Didnโt quite happen for him in the final third, but ability on the ball showed when linking up in tight areas.
Gittens - 8: Always gave Rosa a headache 1v1 - driving forward with real tenacity. Arguably his best performance in a Chelsea shirt.
Guiu - 8: Great movement in lead up to his goal. Performance of real energy.
SUBSTITUTES:
Chalobah - 6: Did the basics well.
Santos - 7: Grabbed an assist for Georgeโs goal, didnโt have much involvement otherwise.
George - 8: Looked sharp despite being deployed through the middle earlier on. Scored his first UCL goal and produced two brilliant crosses.
Acheampong - 7: Looked composed and dominant physically yet again.
Walsh - 6: Showed good energy.

โWe changed tonight from the Forest game ten players. Itโs not easy from the Premier League to the Champions League to change so many players, but we need to do that, otherwise they are going to struggle because of many games.
โWe need to protect some of the players. Tonight I think was also good because we could rotate players, especially with the red card.โ

๐ฃ๏ธ Enzo Maresca ahead of Sunderland [H] in the Premier League:
๐ ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ฌ:
โWe donโt have any new injuries for the game this weekend.
โLiam [Delap] is doing very well, he took part in the session with the team for the first time yesterday. He wonโt be involved in the game tomorrow but maybe he can be for the next one.
โThe schedule [on when players can return] can change a little bit, it depends on whether they improve or not. Initially we thought he may be back for October 25 but today, as you know, is October 24.
โSo, heโs not quite on that initial schedule but heโs getting closer and possibly for the cup game next week, he could be available.โ

โAbsolutely he is ready to start.
โMarc is a typical number nine; a physically strong, box player. Again, he can improve and do many things better and we are working with him every day to help him. He is going to play games with us, for sure.
โWe had a chat with Marc two weeks ago, I told him that the way he was training I didnโt like and he needs to change. He changes and he got a chance, so it is like that.โ
๐โโฌ ๐๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐:
โI think they have showed since the start of the season that they are a very good team.
โThey play together, they work together and they play as a team.
โIn terms of results, they have the same points as us, so they are showing how good they are. Itโs a Premier League game, and I donโt think any game at this level is easy.โ

Didier Drogba: โI said in the past that I donโt recognize my team, and it was right. It was exactly the feeling I had. And today, the team has improved.
So you have to say when things are good, not only criticize when itโs bad. Things are good this year, and Iโm really happy with what the manager is doing, and those young kids are giving everything for the club, and it makes me proud.โ
Drogba on Chelsea winning the Club World Cup: โโI was proud in many ways. First of all, as a Chelsea fan, every time Chelsea have been in a final something magical happens, something special happens, because I think itโs in our DNA. We struggle, but when you reach the final, it becomes a different team. Itโs like Frank Lampard, John Terry, Petr Cech, Makelele, Diego Costa, all these guys are behind the kids, and then we push them, and then they play, and they win, and they beat PSG, whoโs the Champions League title owner. I was proud to see the team doing well, and perform during the summer.โ #CFC

The deal puts #CFC sixth among Premier League clubs in terms of sleeve sponsorship value. The Blues are just behind Arsenalโs deal. ๐ฐ
