Chelsea no longer have their destiny in hand for the C1. In chaotic form for several weeks with five defeats in a row in the Championship and a sad elimination against PSG, the Blues had to pull themselves together against Nottingham Forest, but they quickly foundered. Because from the 2nd minute of play, Awoniyi opened the scoring with a beautiful header at the far post (1-0, 2nd), before Igor Jesus quickly made the break to cool Stamford Bridge (2-0, 15th).
And nothing worked out for the Blues, who lost the young Jesse Derry, evacuated on oxygen for his first by giving a penalty to Palmer… who failed in front of Sels (45th). Chelsea continued to collapse after the break, conceding another goal from Awoniyi, for the double (3-0, 52nd). Joao Pedro still saved the honor with a magnificent acrobatic return (3-1, 90th + 3). A still catastrophic evening for the Londoners, 9th, who will have to hope for a victory for Aston Villa in the C3 final to hope to qualify for the LdC. For its part, Forest is doing a great job of maintaining this success.
