I know UCL has never been his thing, but I've never seen a team coached by Conte get demolished so badly.

Lots of blowouts today.

Osimhen too much to handle for them, as was the environment. They're a good team but physically they are lacking

First time I've seen a coach on the sidelines with earplugs on lol

They are used to playing on artificial turf too, so when they play away games they lose their advantage.

VDV can run with the ball for sure, remember last season when he run through all United team and laid it for Brenan Johnson for a tap in. That was super impressive as well.

Wilfried Singo is like the Osimhen of right-backs, he looks like a man playing with boys. A ridiculous physical marvel. I’d be disappointed with anything less than €60 million

Courtois doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He's been playing at an elite level for many many years now.

Chelsea making Barcelona look like an amateur team at Stamford Bridge. Had the ball in the net three times, one would eventually count. 1-0 up.

I can see why Chelsea fans are high on this team. They're absolutely relentless. They did it to Spurs of course, but everyone does it to Spurs, so I wasn't sure if that was a thing. But no, they're a genuinely tough team to play against.

People need to be talking more about Estevao, what a talent. As a chorus of "you're just a **** Estevao" aimed at Yamal echoes around the stadium.

incredible showing from chelsea

annoyed madrid didn't sign estevao and save us from this. Chelsea were bound to get a superstar with their "sort Football manager u18 potential list" and sign everyone on the list strategy.

La liga clubs against PL clubs has been a serious mismatch recently. Looks like the la liga clubs cant even come near physically.

And I need Arsenal to back of Yildiz. He's all we got!
Spalletti brought him on at halftime and he turned the entire game around. I have NO IDEA why he didn't start but he created all three goals...totally too much for Bodo to handle, similar to how Osimhen dominated against them
