Chelsea entered the Champions League field for the first time as the world champion. After beating Palmeiras and winning the intercontinental title, the English team faced Lille on Tuesday night (22) in London, winning 2-0 and opening an advantage in the round of 16.
The hosts showed superiority in much of the confrontation at Stamford Bridge. In the eighth minute, Havertz, scorer of the goal that defined the conquest of the last day 12, in the United Arab Emirates, opened the scoring. After a corner taken by Ziyech, the German headed well.
The difference was widened in the final stage, at 18 minutes. Kanté managed a good run through the middle and found a pass for Pulisic, who dominated in the area and hit the goalkeeper’s exit. Thus, Chelsea could even lose by a goal in the return match, scheduled for March 16, at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille.
In the other Champions League match held on Tuesday, Villarreal and Juventus drew 1-1 in Spain. Vhalovic opened the scoring for the Italians in the first minute of the game, and Parejo set the equalizer in the second half. The second match will also take place on March 16, in Italy.
This Wednesday (23) will have the last two first leg matches of the round of 16, Benfica x Ajax and Atlético de Madrid x Manchester United. The following matches were played last week: Sporting 0 x 5 Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain 1 x 0 Real Madrid, Inter Milan 0 x 2 Liverpool and RB Salzburg 1 x 1 Bayern.
