Chelsea introduced herself to the domestic audience for the first time as the winner of the World Club Championship and she succeeded in entering the match. Havertz first kicked the goal from a small lime, but in the eighth minute he jumped to Zijach’s center from a corner kick and opened the score with his head.

Alonso could have increased the lead after a quarter of an hour, but found only the gloves of the goalkeeper Jardim from the volley. Lille gradually leveled the game, but the “Blues” did not collect millionaire competitions even in the fourth home match this season.

On the other hand, Kanté took the ball in the 63rd minute and called for a score of Pulisice, who scored for the first time this year’s competition. Chelsea defeated the OSC in the third duel. In addition, as the first English team, she won five home games in a row in the Champions League with a clean sheet.

In the match Villarreal – Juventus, the goal fell right from the first action of the match. Vlahovič worked the ball into the free space during the run and after 32 seconds of the game he sent the ball from the turn exactly to the far post. Fiorentina’s “Old Ladies” winter team scored for the fourth time in a new jersey and recorded the fastest goal of the debuting player in the Champions League.

A moment later he was able to equal Lo Celso, but his shot in the fall ended up on the pole. The “yellow submarine” did not arrive until 66 minutes, when Parejo ran into Capoue’s center for defense and ended the first touch.
