URZZZZ Madrid were awful last night - no penetration whatsoever, and cut open at ease - should have been 4/5 down by the time Chelsea got their second

Daresay reminded me of us under Stam in his second season - utter shambles

That's what happens with no Ronaldo to bail you out :wink:

Credit to Chelsea though - were fantastic, Kante and Jorginho were superb in midfield, Jorginho is massively underrated

Think you have to make a mention of Mendy last night too. He has gone under the radar somewhat since his arrival but he is a very solid and reliable keeper. If anything the lack of fanfare or comments about him this season show that he is doing well and very steady, no news is good news when it comes to being a keeper.

Chelsea have only conceded 10 goals in 24 games since Tuchel took charge, and Mendy is a big part of that. A barely fathomable 18 clean sheets in those 24 games. 5 of those 10 goals conceded came at home to West Brom, who are the only team to score more than one against Chelsea in that time. :? :lol:

Couldn’t be worse than Kepa tbf but yeah - been excellent although not sure he had much to do yesterday other than that one save from Benzema

Piqued my interest with West Brom - they’ve scored just 31 league goals this season - 8 of which being against Chelsea which is 25.8% of their goals

Playing Sergio Ramos was clearly a desperate move as he was clearly unfit and unbalanced the entire defence - and probably the midfield a bit too with Vinicius 'trying' to fill in at wing-back

I think Zidane knew the writing was on the wall before the game and they were simply outplayed on the night

10 goals conceded in 24 games is good, 5 goals in 23 games is bonkers. Half a Championship league season :shock:

Battered tonight, could have been a lot closer if Dzeko/Pedro took that chance at 2-1!

Decent game though, from what I saw, Williams and Telles were dreadful when they came on and perhaps showed why they’re backups!

Champions League final moved to Porto. Not 100% sure why they couldn't do it at Wembley, if they were going to move it anyway.

The UKG would not agree to exempt press and officials from quarantine. That would have meant UEFA paying these TV companies compensation, so they found somewhere that would accept everyone without restrictions.

I think it's the right call for UKG, why should these people from red list countries bypass quarantine. Sorry for the fans though who are sure to be fleeced on travel and hotels.

I did wonder if the UKG had checked with the EFL when sorting this out considering the championship playoff final is at Wembley on the same day

We all know it will end up as a drab 0-0 with City winning on penalties. Might as well save everyone the bother.
