We had to wait until the second round to see the first big fan of the new Premier League season. A special touch for the match was that Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said last week that his club is not comparable to Chelsea as it doesn’t spend a lot of money on new players, not because of the way it is owned by a country or an oligarch.
The Londoners also attracted Timo Werner and Kai Havertz from the Bundesliga this summer (they both started the match), paying a total of € 133 million for the two. Shortly after, by the way, the Pool announced the arrival of Thiago Alcántara and Diogo Jota.
In the first part of the match there were opportunities for both sides, but no goals were scored. Andreas Christensen was featured in the head of the inning for knocking down Sadio Mané, putting Chelsea at a human disadvantage.
Senegal soon scored two goals:
After a great play down the middle, Roberto Firmino could have closed the game in the 80th minute, but his shot hit the post.
Thiago replaced Jordan Henderson and a penalty in the 70th minute gave the hosts a chance to increase the score, but Jerninho, too confident, threw the ball wide and tried to shoot in the upper corner.
The Italian midfielder has made a mistake for the first time since a Chelsea footballer and the Brazilian goalkeeper defended for the first time since he was a Liverpool player.
The Reds maintained their lead for the rest of the time, no more hits were made in the clash and the final score was 0-2.
