The law of relativity. The law of the strongest. Chelsea lays down the law.
Entrenched in the Conference League after missing qualification for the Europa League on the razor's edge (the fault of MU's surprise triumph in the FA Cup against City), the London club masterfully dominates this C4.
Thursday evening, after 21 minutes of play, the Blues led 4-0 against Noah FC in London. “One-sided game” is almost a euphemism to describe the carnage at Stamford Bridge.
Criticized in recent weeks, world champion Enzo Fernandez delivered three assists during a desperately unbalanced first act. Mykhailo Mudryk scored the fifth goal synonymous with “manita” just before the break. Joao Félix scored the 6-0 goal straight away.
And to think that the Blues' major asset, a certain Cole Jermaine Palmer, is not even on the scoresheet! With “Mr. Freeze”, the bill would undoubtedly have been higher. Another Palmer quadruple in one half would not have been out of reach.
The Blues are more than ever leaders in the C4 league phase (3 victories in 3 matches while waiting for the fourth). This is not likely to change anytime soon.
