EST lost because of their keeper, literally, all 3 goals were easy to save.

Delap first goal, Santos debut assist, Acheampong looked comfortable in the inverted LB role, Essugo is a pit bull… I’m pretty happy. Onto Benfica👍

Probably a non keeper would have saved that. Because he would have used his feet.

Said stole a living at this tournament.

Their keeper and Kepa have the same wrist strength: none.

Keeper saved a pen and turned to shit

Keeper is getting left in philly

The fact we only scored 3 against this keeper is a testament to how bad our shooting is

Nice for George

Whys bro look like Temu Saka

this keeper has been abysmal

Evil saka doesn’t even crack a smile

Good shit George, that’ll build some confidence!

cool i guess

Man the keeper is so bad

GEOOOOOORGE ILY

Tight angle but George caught that very nicely.

Really really impressed with Onuche Ogbelu, looks like he should be playing in Europe.

We have the best fans

Well Nkunku, if you moved faster than the speed of smell, you could’ve gotten that

man KDH…why did we spend money on him

Dario Essugo gives us some much needed depth for Caicedo. Love what we’ve seen from him today.

I think there is some confusion for some people. Flamengo already won the group because they beat Chelsea. Goal differential isn’t going to make a different

The commentator just called Acheampong Tyrique George now.

Anyway… Acheampong MOTM, who says no?

Referee has been terrible

[deleted]

LAFC is beating Flamingo now.

The refereeing for this tournament overall has been pretty comical

Anyone have a clip of that not-handball. wanna share it with someone.

that was odd, a clear handball in box that Ref gave reverted by VAR.

Anyone have a clip of that not-handball. wanna share it with someone.

refs have been awful but the whole tournament feels amateur (in terms of organisation, care for the results as much as you please) that its hard to really be angry about it. So long as no one gets hurt, I’m just laughing at them

So apparently this ref has no idea what he’s doing.

The major wtf is even if that’s not a pen, how is it not a Chelsea corner?

Either there is straight up cheating going on or I have zero fucking clue what a handball is anymore. I’m not even angry, just very very confused

Clear red card challenge not given

VAR: I sleep

Nailed on pen given

VAR: And I took that personally

🤨

The VAR should not have changed any decision that the on-field referee made in that case.

Whatever the view about whether it should or shouldn’t be a penalty, there is absolutely no way that it can be argued that that was a “clear and obvious error”.

If it’s not a pen it’s certainly a corner…

Not sure how thats not a penalty lol

Holy Esperance crowd is always so good. Sounds like a home game lol

What a shambles

What’s the lion in the Chelsea Badge holding?

He had three business days to get his arm out the way, how is that not a pen?

If it’s not a pen why isn’t it s corner

???

Genuinely I don’t think I’m ever gonna call English refs bad again

Lmao. Wtf

This tournament is a joke hahaha. Officiating has been so poor

Don’t think that was a correct decision. But anyway, the ball was going directly to the keeper, that was never a goal

That’s really really dumb lol

excuse me?

I don’t understand how that’s not a pen?

Cucu not on pitch, and this happens?

No way lmaoo

I have no clue what that ref just said. How could you overturn the decision on the field?

Cucurella approves

Lol Nkunku was already reaching for his balloon.

Come on man, wtf is this lol

hahahahahaha and a drop ball to the keeper after all of that??

Tosin was shocked. Lmao. Haha wtf is this refereeing

lol didn’t even get a corner

What the actual fuck. Handball isn’t handball?

Huh??

That may genuinely be one of the worst decisions i have ever seen, oh my lord

That’s bullshit. Not how VAR should be used

The officiating in this game is up there with some of the worst I’ve ever seen

I have no idea what is and isn’t a hand ball anymore. I just don’t know

How’s that not a pen?

How is that not a penalty

LMAO this ref is on crack

wtf lol

Ridiculous

???

This is such a ridiculous VAR

What the fuck are we doing here

They’re really going to overturn this?

Yeah that pen was some peak UECL shenanigans.

Why did they need to look at this for more than 5 seconds. crystal clear pen.

It hit his arm and it was in the box, what is taking so long?

nkunku looks he cares

Listen to that roar for santos!!! Let’s fucking go

ANDREY

Holy shit Santos is on the pitch

OH MY GOD HE’S ALLOWED TO PLAY

SANTOSSSSSS

This legit feels like one of our Conference League matches but warmer.

Debut for young obama🔥🔥🔥

Noni has some of the worst body language. He gets a poor ball and just looks so pissed but he puts in some abhorrent crosses himself. Not every ball comes off man.

Has the commentator not seen Delap? He was on the pitch a few minutes ago.

Why does delap keep getting subbed

Who will Chelsea have to play in the knockout rounds now they’re on top? Who’ll be their first opponent?

We aren’t playing Santos so that he can play for Bayern in the next round

Nkunku has spent so much time being lazy and acting shite that he has now become lazy and shite.

Good for Essugo, but holy shit Maresca does not want to use Santos

Maresca said he didn’t put Santos in because he’s new and need to learn the system, but he still give Essugo a chance? Isn’t he’s new too?

Is it just me or does every team look knackered in these final games of the group stage. It doesn’t matter if they are from Europe or South America. Energy levels seem lower than in the beginning of this tournament. Heat must be taking its toll on everyone.

Keeper is going full special

Make love to the post.

Gusto screamer is gonna hit like crack after another 7000 shots

Is this keeper on drugs?

Nkunku is so frustrating, he’s incapable of acting with urgency

What a player Josh is

Definitely not a pen

Acheampong is awesome

Is Belaili injured or what happened to him

Trying to work out who the Esperance coach reminds me of

I’ve come up with Rodney Dangerfield so far

bring in essugo

no need to risk lavia’s cardboard knees

On Everyone souls in this match thread (but mine) Chelsea will hold this lead

Why does Chelsea’s kit has red details? Wouldn’t it make more sense for it to be white and blue instead?

007 memes in shambles

Has obi mikel told us how good osimhen is yet today?

Bro he has another half to play, get him out of the interview

GK was paid off

Well, this is probably over. Anything interesting in the other game?

He stod with his weight on his wrong leg.. was his own fault though.

That one Wigan fan who loved will Griggs and decided to make a silly little video managed to make Freed from Desire the universal football anthem.

This guy looks like next united GK

Goalie is skinnier than lamine yamal

Ben Said has left the game
