Chelsea, in a hurry to exit the English championship 11 points behind the Champions League, with one game less. The ‘blues’ have played everything, everything they have left this season, and they started with great intensity against a Borussia Dortmund team that received a big blow in the 5th minute: Julian Brandt, their most talented player so far, was injured after Jude Bellingham. Giovanni Reyna came in for Brandt.

Joao Félix and Kai Havertz, launched on the wings, performed a good first half, with Chelsea having more chances than Dortmund. Havertz crashed the ball against the post and the goal was disallowed for offside. After the start of the ‘blues’, Dortmund ‘stopped’ the match, but in the last period Chelsea rose again. On the other hand, Kepa made a great save on a Marco Reus shot in the 17′. Bellingham missed a great opportunity.

Joao Félix and Havertz shone, but Raheem Sterling managed to level the tie in the 43′. After a steal from Chelsea, Ben Chilwell reached the end line and fed the ball to the English winger, who initially missed his first shot (in the air) but on the second attempt he beat Dortmund goalkeeper Alexander Meyer . That’s why Chelsea rested with the tie tied.

If the first half started for Borussia Dortmund with an injury to Brandt, the second started in the controversial punishment at the hands of Lobo. Havertz was in charge of throwing it, he did the ‘paradinha’ and wanted to adjust the launch too much. Although he fooled Meyer, the ball hit the post.

But the referee decided to order the shot to be retaken due to the number of players in the area when Havertz shot. again the German attacker launched it and this time it didn’t miss. Havertz put the 2-0 score for his Chelsea in minute 53′. This is the purpose that classified the ‘blues’.

Borussia Dortmund reacted well after the 2-0 blow, but it could not translate into goals against the always intense Chelsea. In minute 65′, a great save by Kepa after a shot from Wolf from a pass from Reyna. Bellingham, who missed a good chance, tried everything, but there was no victory against the ‘blues’ for whom this Champions League is their last hope of survival.
