Under fire from critics since his return from injury, Moroccan international attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech has again proven that he can be counted on. Indeed, the Lion of the Atlas scored the only goal of the victory of Blues, traveling in the Malmö field, during the 4th day of Group H of the European Champions League.
Hakim Ziyech offers his very first Champions League goal and his 2ndth achievement in all competitions, this season, with Chelsea. Very often criticized since his return from injury, the Moroccan international attacking midfielder allowed his team to win on the lawn of the Swedish club Malmö FF (1-0), this Tuesday evening, as part of the 4th day of the group H.
After a good run from Callum Hudson-Odoi, the English winger of Ghanaian origin sends a superb cross to the far post for Hakim Ziyech, who only had to push the ball into the empty goal (1-0, 56 ‘). This is his first goal in the jersey of Blues, this season, in C1, the 8th goal of his career. He thus equals the former Atlas Lions scorer, Marouane Chamakh, but he is still ahead of Youssef En-Nesyri (Sevilla FC, 6 goals) and Achraf Hakimi (PSG, 4 goals).
With this short but precious victory, Chelsea (2th, 9 pts), is heading straight for qualification in 8th final. Leader of the group with 12 points, the Italians of Juventus, validated their ticket, after their victory at home, this Tuesday evening, in front of the Russians of Zenit (4-2).
