This fixtures is their second game as defending the Champions League following a fantastics display of high spirited team that dified all odds to becoming the best team in Europ.

BOOKMAKERS **

A big match, a big test, a big game with hugh impact on their progress to the next round defending their trouphy, a little reflection on history, numbers, odds and posibile outcome.

CHELSEA FC won the Champions league in 2012, a historical year in the club history, being 107 years founded in 1905,they were not favorites.

CHELSEA FC winning the Champions league in 2021, a year with the same but an interchanging set of numbers (2012 >< 2021). Again they were not favourites.

2012 Chelsea Champions League team was managed by Robberto D'Matteo who resumed after Andre Villa was sacked as manager and the team went on to emage champions. He was replace by Raphael Benitex days after the team crashed out of champions league at the group stage

2021/2022 Chesea team is managed by Tuchel same manager who won the Champions League lats year, he was annoucced manager after club legend Frank Lampad was sacked. The Chelsea team is likely to qualify for the next round, however this will depend on their reponse in tonights fixtures.

2012/2013 Season saw Chelsea FC played Juventus in match day 1 in defense of their 2012 UEFA Trophy. Odds were certainly against them, their numbers didnt add up and they crashed out from the group stage.

2021/2022 This season sure has odds trailing it as Chelsea also take on Juventus in their matchday 2 defense fixtures.* Same set of numbers but with a double "2". The 2012/203 team was overhauled compared to present team which features little or no new players exception few additions in the squad from last years regular lineup.

CHELSEA FC were Eruopa League winners after winning the 2012 Champions League.

WILL CHELSEA SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND THEIR TROPHY WITH ADDTIONAL SILVER WEAR IN THE ENGLISH LEAGUE

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF, CHELSEA FC AGAIN CRASHING OUT IN THE GROUP STAGE OF THIS YEARS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AS DEFENDING CHAMPIONS*

"Instant response" and nothing more is expected despit the odds in their favour. The team must aleast play to win, a draw would certainly not look good. Of course same fixtures in 2012 ending with 2:2 draw at Stamford Bridge and the bluess went on to loss the second leg and subsiquently crashed out
Having suffer their first defeat of the season, more is expected of the team as worthy Champions, considering their goal ratio and number of goals conceeded hope can be sustained. The Chelsea team holds record of the best defense in both continental and local league. With all three UEFA Wards going to their team players and same players fully fit to feature in todays match, there will surely be response.
