“Chelsea” lost 1:2 to modest Swiss “Basel” in the match at home. It was Jose Mourinho’s first game in European club competition since returning to London and it ended in defeat. The advantage of “Aristocrats” was indisputable, but “Basel” acted very collected. The Swiss avenged their exit from the Europa League in the spring.
The home team could have played better, but they underestimated their opponent. After the scored goal, i.e. in the second half, they did not make any effort, and the guests gathered. The logical outcome was probably Chelsea’s win, but… That’s what happens. Sensation. The Swiss heroes caged the “lions” of Foggy Albion. Oscar’s goal was answered by Mohamed Salah and Marco Streller in the 71st and 81st minutes, respectively. Due to such a start, Roman Abramovich’s team made life difficult in the group.
In the other match of the group, the German “Schalke” sent three unanswered goals to the goal of “Steaua”. But throughout the match, the guests did not give up to the opponent, who was playing as an obvious favorite. “Steaua” was careful in defense, not bad in counterattack and threatened Hildebrand’s goal several times. But the Romanian champions suffered a heavy defeat, conceding all goals after the break. The decisive event in this game took place in the middle of the second half, when after Utida’s pass from the right wing, as a result of uncoordinated actions of the defenders and the goalkeeper, the ball ended up in the net. After that, the visitors’ game simply fell apart, thanks to which Schalke scored two more goals. Kevin-Prince Boateng and Julian Draxler stood out.
