After missing out on a rental transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, Hakim Ziyech was suddenly allowed to start at Chelsea. Together with acquisition Mykhailo Mudryk he assisted on the flank the Blues. Record purchase Enzo Fernández was in midfield, while newcomer Benoît Badiashile also appeared at the kick-off.
However, the new impetus was not reflected in Chelsea’s game. The London club was difficult to create great opportunities and the field game was little varied. Ziyech, who still had one brilliant ball in his possession, could not leave his mark on the game and was taken off after an hour by Graham Potter. At that time, former PSV player Noni Madueke had already entered the line.
