Despite the 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge thanks to goals from Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto, the Italian gave a mysterious statement at his post-match press conference. After Chelsea’s Champions League loss at Atalanta stretched their losing streak to four games, the three points that put Chelsea back in the top four of the Premier League may have brightened the spirits. However, Maresca unexpectedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the previous two days at the…

After recently scoring a stoppage-time equalizer against Sevilla, Valencia forward Hugo Duro would have felt disappointed to send an early opportunity off the crossbar of Jan Oblak’s goal. Following that initial fright, Atletico attacked with Alexander Sorloth, who compelled Julen Agirrezabala to intervene. Rather, it was Koke who opened the scoring at the Metropolitano, with…
