Gabriel Valera (@ Gabrielvalera97) -Passion X Sports. Chelsea began the defense of their title in the Champions League 2021-22 with victory by beating Russian Zenit 1-0 at home on the first date of group H. A fought match that was resolved by the English 20 minutes from the final.
Thus, the cast led by Tuchel attempted 11 shots throughout the game, only 2 of them between the posts of rival goalkeeper Kritsyuk. Kovacic, Jorginho, Marcos Alonso, Mount and company are the most important weapons in three quarters of the court for the “Blues” in their recent campaigns.
However, Romelu Lukaku brand new addition to the transfer market connected a center from the right side with a header to score the only goal of the English night. Few chances for Zenit looking for Brazilian Malcom and Wendel as attack pieces.
Remember that these two teams share a sector with Malmo and Juventus. Chelsea will visit Tottenham on Sunday for date 5 of the Premier League. While Zenit will play against Rubin Kazan leading the Russian Premier League with 17 points in 7 disputed dates.
Juventus and Malmo will be their next Champions League matches on September 29.
