As in the first leg last November (4-4), Chelsea was able to hold off Manchester City this Saturday in the Premier League (1-1). Attractive, the Blues could even have won without a stunning Rodri, as often when the boat rocks with the Sky Blues in recent months. On the Chelsea side, several performances are worth remembering, in particular that of Axel Disasi.
Aligned alongside Colwill in the central hinge, the former Monegasque proved intractable, delivering a constant duel to Erling Haaland. At the end of the meeting, Jamie Carragher also got excited about it: “I can’t remember a better defensive performance this season, it was a John Terry performance”confided the Liverpool legend on Sky Sports. An outing that will certainly please the Frenchman, who has often been criticized, and sometimes wrongly, for months.
