How Chelsea booked a ticket to Istanbul with another closure?
Real Madrid needed to score goals in west London.
They were giving former Chelsea favorite Eden Hazard, especially out of his old home. His second start in three months, but they were the club’s top managers.
Chelsea points to the right-hand side of Real’s defense. Mount’s shooting forced him to be rescued by Thibaut Courtois, another Blues player.
And Werner turned around near the spot from Ben Chilwell’s center but was marked offside. Only Jamie Vardy has listened more times than Werner (36) of the Premier League team in all competitions this term.
After Edouard Mendy’s brilliant goal from Karim Benzema was intensifying efforts to save a finger. Chelsea would celebrate the first game.
Werner was instrumental in getting the ball rolling and holding the ball well. In the same proportion as N’Golo Kante, who picked Havertz out of the box.
Havertz’s chip lifted Courtois and hit the crossbar. But it fell to Werner, who was in the right place at the right time to kick the ball over the line.
The hit and miss nature of Werner’s debut season in England got epitomized just minutes later.
And as Chelsea broke with men over, the German international picking the wrong pass. Before, Mendy has had to be at his best to tip over a Benzema header from Luka Modric’s cross.
After 45 minutes in the Champions League final, Chelsea just needed to keep another clean sheet. Which they were experts at under Tuchel, registering 18 of his 24 appearances.
But they went out looking for the Real and came out in the second round with an offensive blitz.
Chelsea made Real’s job even more complicated.
Havertz almost made Real’s job even more complicated. With Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross-head overhead in the crossbar. At the same time, Thiago Silva went unmarked from the kick-kick in Chilwell.
An excellent job of catching Werner then released Mount to the box at an angle. Only to have the Englishman of the world burn more than the bar.
Despite having one of the best defensive records in the Premier League since Tuchel joined, Chelsea’s shotgun rate is among the lowest (17). It has also shown as Courtois denies Havertz is down after being relegated.
Luck had been with Real this season as Kante imitated Havertz’s miss, which Courtois on the ground rejected. After being put in the net by Werner before Thiago Silva looked away from the corner of Mount.
Somehow, in the closing stages, Real was still in contention. But Chelsea ended up killing him and passing Mount.
It was breaking the number fifteen in the second half. Chelsea found its clinical boundaries as Pulisic chose Mount Square.
He returned home to promote greater freedom and happiness for the players and staff.
Including missed chances, this was a regular Chelsea game. And with their win in the FA Cup semi-final as evidence.
There is a natural feeling that Tuchel’s side could better inspect Pep Guardiola’s much-known Istanbul side.
