Boom, kickoff of the C4!
Armed with its Z team, Chelsea started on the right foot against La Gantoise (4-2), for its first appearance in the Conference League, at the Bridge. Back in the French team, Christopher Nkunku scored on the hour mark, in force, and celebrated by inflating a blue balloon. Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are the other scorers for the Blueswho still let the Belgians crash twice, by Watanabe and Gandelman.
Fiorentina went in cheap diesel mode against the Welsh Tom Thumb The New Saints (2-0), and two players from Ligue 1 shone: Yacine Adli and Moïse Kean. Also note the deserved defeat of Real Betis in Warsaw on the Legia pitch (1-0), the misstep of Copenhagen at home against the Polish champion Jagiellonia (1-2), the draw of the Lens scorer, the Panathinaikos, at Borac Banja Luka (1-1), the ric-rac victory of Heidenheim against Olimpija Ljubljana (2-1) or even… the set stuck by Cercle Bruges in Saint-Gall (6-2), with a hat-trick for Togolese international Kevin Denkey.
