Cherki is far too maverick to be a traditional Guardiola player, but his style is what makes football worth watching

Rosenior has made responding to setbacks his first of point of emphasis with this team. Chelsea made it their calling card this week.

Garnacho vs Wan-Bissaka 1v1 is not the advantageous match-up that Chelsea seem to think it is, to put it mildly

A piece on Andrey Santos. Compared by Rosenior to Dunga a year ago, he’s increasingly prominent as the anchor of a rebalanced Chelsea midfield.

I’m generally agnostic about this Champions League format, but it was refreshing to see Napoli and Chelsea both acting on a clear incentive to win in the final 30 minutes or so

This is the best - and funniest - Champions League moment I’ve seen in a while. The fact it’s Mourinho vs Real Madrid is just *chef’s kiss*
Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin's 97th-minute header against Real Madrid sent Jose Mourinho's side through to the Champions League play-offs at Marseille's expense.

Benfica will play either Inter or Real Madrid for a place in the last 16 — Real were third in the table going into this evening.

My column on Raheem Sterling's departure from Chelsea, and the mutual termination of a union that was set up to fail from the outset.

Moving on now brings relief for both parties 👇
