Chelsea was depressed, but without really a breakthrough, and on the other side, the guests could also rejoice that Bernardeschi had found himself less of a finisher than a preparer.
The defending champion clung higher to his hair, playing more and more dangerously, but Lukaku and Kai Havertz also missed the big position, leaving 1-0.
This also means that Chelsea also missed out on their fifth BL game in Italy in the series.
