Lampard and Lopetegi, unsurprisingly, turned to the rotation, releasing at least the main players from the opening minutes. Chelsea started the fight more actively, had more control of the ball and opened the scoring in minute 8. Havertz ran freely at the gates of Sevilla, drove Fat, and Olivier easily sent the projectile past the hosts’ goalkeeper after an uncomplicated feint (0: 1)… After the goal, “Nervión” managed to briefly squeeze the Londoners and take the sphere away, but without surprises for Edouard Mendy.
Midway through the first half, Chelsea returned a competent exit from defense to attack and set up quick vertical attacks: Vakas had to save the Spaniards after a shot from Pulisic, and Vásquez, to knock the ball off the tape in the corner. “Blues” ruined a few more counterattacks, and then Rakitic didn’t turn the wall around to a promising standard. To accompany the team’s unrealized capabilities, we took a break.

The second half of the match began with pressure from “Sevilla”: in one of the episodes, Navas found Gudel a cold transmission, and fired hard, but slightly imprecise. However, Chelsea was more than enough with a simple pass from Kovacic to Fatfor the French to gently strike the projectile on the goalkeeper (0: 2)… Lopetegui released three new players on the field, including leader Ocampos, in what was supposedly a request for increased pressure from the hosts.
However, Chelsea refused to sit on the defensive; Lampard also responded with substitutions. It seemed that Frank had read the situation and, instead of getting nervous in the last minutes, decided to put a big point of confidence long before the final whistle. The intentions worked, because Olivie did not stop: first, the attacker closed the service from the right flank with his head (0: 3), and then won a penalty, which he converted (0: 4)… In general, twice with the left foot working, once again with the right and the head, the French striker emphasizes his importance for the team, and Chelsea crushes Sevilla between their walls. Interestingly, Lampard was the last player in the “blue” lineup to be kissed in poker for Londoners, and this happened 10 years ago in a match with “Aston Villa”.
