Unattainable in his change of pace in the individual duel to which they were entrusted Enzo Fernandez and the Chelseabeaten in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League by the fast-paced attacker and his eleven touches in ten seconds, even more than the Argentine midfielder, joao felix either Mykhailo Mudryk They proposed the opposite, without the goalscoring efficiency of the German international.

As a result of a corner against, in favor of the London team, caused by a shot from Reece James that the local goalkeeper, the Swiss, repelled a corner kick gregor kobeland after game time, after the failed shots in the opposite area of Kai Havertz and joao felix in that same action, the clearance from the back of Raphael Guerreiro originated the maelstrom that unleashed adeyemi from the middle of his field to the other goal.

His only shot between the three sticks was a goal. He also proposed another three, one out and two blocked, according to official statistics from the Uefa. Really, the Borussia Dortmund he only connected two shots over the frame of Kepa Arrizabalagathe goal and another of Julian Brandt. Nothing else. He Chelsea threw eight.

The eleventh, the one with the goal to an empty goal, something cornered after dribbling the goalkeeper, was the only one with the left of the entire indisputable journey. Definitive.

It was not Enzo Fernandezalthough their match was remarkable, with an opportunity included at the end, in the 95th minute, which he flew kobel; neither joao felixwhose performance was of a high level, especially in the first half with two occasions that, if they had resolved more wisely, would have provided another score (one, in the 31st minute, he threw it out; another, in the 38th, after a beautiful maneuver , crashed it against the crossbar), nor Mykhalo Mudryk. The three of them, their overall team, played for more than they got at Signal Iduna Park.

Neither Jude Bellinghamthe 19-year-old star desired by all Europe, in the vibrant match, without nuances or middle terms, that both teams displayed. He offered his football, his power, his qualities… He even played the second yellow card.

The scorer was adeyemitransferred this summer from salzburg to the Borussia Dortmund for 30 million euros, in a season that has passed below the expectations of the 21-year-old German international, without minutes in the Qatar World Cup 2022without the goalscoring production or assists or play expected in his first year in the bundesligafar from everything that dazzled in the previous campaign: 23 goals in 44 clashes.
