The Germans found themselves behind at the Civitas Metropolitano after less than four minutes following a failed attempt to play out from the back. Many fans were focused on a loan star for his role in losing possession near his own goal. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel’s pass to Ian Maatsen was not forgiving, with Koke pressuring him as he received the ball. Some fans expressed frustration with Maatsen’s performance, criticizing his handling of the physicality and intensity of the match.
Others placed the blame on Kobel, arguing that he had a better view of the field and should have made a better decision. However, not everyone agreed, with one Chelsea fan stating that Maatsen’s performance was worse than Chilwell’s. Levi Colwill has been an impressive left-back option under Mauricio Pochettino this season, but injuries have limited the momentum for players like Chilwell and Marc Cucurella. Who will win this season’s Champions League?
