Football commentary Lille vs Chelsea, 3am on March 17 – round of 1/8 Cup C1

Trouble off the pitch could not stop defending champion Chelsea from overcoming Lille to win a ticket to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea is facing a lot of difficulties off the pitch, in the context of the club’s future unresolved.

But it is the decisions from the British government that make Thomas Tuchel’s teachers and students more motivated to fight and connect.

Chelsea aim for the quarter-final ticket

Thomas Tuchel did not abandon the team. Many players are willing to play without pay to help solve the financial situation when everything is frozen.

The way Chelsea overcame Newcastle – the team played very well before, unbeaten in 8 matches in a row, with 6 of which were victories – showed the mental strength of the team.

With a 12-match unbeaten streak (excluding penalties), Chelsea are aiming for another positive result against Lille.

The 2-0 victory in the first leg at Stamford Bridge gives the Blues a great advantage, both in terms of score and mental value.

The upcoming fixture is not too heavy, so coach Thomas Tuchel can fully focus on the confrontation with Lille to win the ticket. Champions League quarterfinals.

Lille’s form is not good. They have only won 2 of the last 5 matches, the latest is a goalless draw with Saint-Etienne at Pierre-Mauroy’s home field.
