Chelsea confirmed its status as the top favorite to win the Conference League with a resounding rout (8-0) over Armenian Noah, a clash in which Italian Enzo Maresca‘s men were already winning 4-0 just after the first 20 minutes of the match. game.
Faithful reflection of the distance that currently separates the modest Armenian team from Chelsea, despite the fact that the bluesas already happened in the first two days of the competition, they lined up a starting eleven completely different from the one they usually play in the league championship.
But if this Chelsea team has something left over, after spending the unimaginable in recent years, they are renowned players, which turns the B unit of the London team into a true constellation of stars.
Especially in attack, formed with players of the stature of the Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk, the French Christopher Nkunku or the Portuguese João Félix, without forgetting the young Spanish forward Marc Guiu, only 18, for whom Chelsea paid 6 million this summer. euros to Barcelona.
A Guiu who did not waste Noah’s problems in getting the ball out to score his first goal with the English team’s shirt in an official match 13 minutes into the game.
But the Spanish under-19 international was not the only one who took advantage of the weakness of the Armenian team to vindicate himself against coach Enzo Maresca, to whom the Portuguese João Félix, who already scored a double against Panathinaikos, once again sent a message with the two goals he scored in the first 45 minutes.
A scoring party to which Mudryk also joined, another of those who wants to abandon the role of substitute to which he has been relegated, with a fantastic shot from outside the area that marked the fifth of the six goals (6-0) that Chelsea scored before half-time.
A forceful score that seemed to appease the voracity of the players with the exception of the Frenchman Christopher Nkunku, who did not stop searching for his goal, an insistence that finally found a reward and doubly so, since the French striker scored both goals, one of them from the penalty spot, with which Chelsea rounded off the win (8-0).
