Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea put aside the conflicts arising from the wide squad it has, with more than 40 players, and achieved its first victory in an official match by beating the Swiss Servette (2-0). The goals came from Nkunku (50′) from eleven meters and Madueke (76′).
Former FC Barcelona player Marc Guiu started and was close to scoring before being replaced in the 57th minute by Cole Palmer. He had a golden opportunity to convert, but he was too slow in an action where he had an empty goal and he was so confident that he gave the goalkeeper time to stop up to three shots in a row.
In the preview of the match, Stamford Bridge welcomed João Félix with loud applause, who returned ‘home” after spending 6 months on loan as a blue in 22-23.
On the other hand, French Lens won (2-1) against Panathinaikos led by former Sevilla coach Diego Alonso despite playing from the 20th minute with 10 players due to the dismissal of Medina. The home team’s goals were scored by Frankowski (4′) and Said (34′), while Ioannidis (53′) reduced the deficit. Facundo Pellistri played his first minutes with the Greeks.
Classification that seems to be in doubt in the case of Fiorentina, finalist in the last two editions of the tournament, who could not get past the draw (3-3) at home against the Hungarian Puskas Akademia this Wednesday. A result that could have been worse for Raffaele Palladino’s team, who after only a few minutes of play had already lost 0-2, which the team managed to return the ‘viola’ with goals from Riccardo Sottil, the Argentine Lucas Martínez Quarta and Moise Si Kean made it 3-2 in the 75th minute. The comeback finally came to naught with a late goal from Polish Wojciech Golla establishing a 3-3 final in the 89th minute.
