Chelsea narrowly avoids sensation in the Champions League: how Karabakh came close to a historic victory.
Championship match against Karabakh
According to The Sun: Chelsea escaped from a minor trap in the Champions League match against Karabakh. The players from West London arrived in Azerbaijan, celebrating an impressive victory of 1-0 over Tottenham last Saturday. The team led by Enzo Maresca found themselves in a difficult situation for a while when the underdogs, Karabakh, went into the break leading 2-1.
However, a stunning strike by super-sub Alejandro Garnacho in the second half changed the course of the match.
Alejandro Garnacho: 'We never doubted the victory and knew we could earn three points.'
This game was indicative of Chelsea's character as the team was able to overcome difficulties and show resilience. Importantly, such an experience will help them in future matches on the international stage. The next challenge for the team is to continue their winning streak and cement success in the Champions League.
