Champions League.

The ticket to the quarterfinals is difficult to escape from Chelsea’s hands

In the first leg, Chelsea took full advantage of the home field advantage to beat Lille 2-0. This also means that failure with a 1 goal difference is still enough to help Tuchel’s teachers and students set foot in the quarterfinals. However, with superior class and force, “The Blues” will definitely aim for a victory, as a spiritual fulcrum to overcome the upcoming stormy time.

Tonight, Lille will be without the number 1 star Renato Sanches (injury), so Jocelyn Gourvennec’s teachers and students probably do not expect too much in the ability to shock the defending champion at home.
