He was not necessarily expected as the one who was going to ratify the hopes of Blues, Nevertheless, Rodrygo scored a double. Not the hardest to achieve, but his game was very good overall. At age 22, accomplishing this performance in the quarter-finals of Champions League stay very strong. Okay, the opponent was not terrifying, but like his team, the Brazilian exuded a sacred serenity.
He is starting to get used to this kind of meeting. For Courtois, to sublimate in the final phase of C1 becomes easy. Author of 6 stops this Tuesday evening, the Real Madrid can thank him, because he still kept the Madrid cages perfectly. He also managed his meeting perfectly. In the 67th, what he achieved against cucurella is grand. It’s not for nothing that all his teammates rushed at him… The Belgian giant changed the course of the match.
For several weeks, he was not particularly in good shape, struggling to weigh on his team’s matches. This evening, Valverde was close to excellence. With or without the ball, both in his area and in that of the opponent, the Uruguayan recited his scales. Author of the decisive pass on the second goal, he had fun defending the Blues. This promises for the end of the season, because the Real Madrid needs Valverde at its best.
Disappointment: the impotence of Blues
And if this match put an end to the season of Chelsea ? This Tuesday evening, the team of Frank Lampard undressed in the eyes of the world. For what ? Because this quarter-final ideally symbolizes – unfortunately – the season of Blues. Lack of creativity, lack of realism, lack of enough mentality to win, Chelsea has too many shortcomings to hope for any qualification. The result is logical, as evidenced by the far too sterile possession, symbol of a sick collective – despite almost 2 of xG.
