“His performance that I watched in the stands today was top notch, I got too excited to the point that I didn’t even know when I stood up and started clapping for him.” – Chelsea legend and Belgium International Eden Hazard hails the one player who truly stood out vs Napoli Yesterday NOT João Pedro
CHELSEA THROUGH TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE KNOCKOUTS! 🔵⚽
What a night in Naples! 🔥
Joao Pedro turned into a superhero for Chelsea, scoring twice to seal an incredible comeback win against Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium 💪✨
Here’s how it went down:
– Enzo Fernandez gave Chelsea the lead from the penalty spot 🎯
– Napoli fought back with goals from Antonio Vergara and Rasmus Højlund to take the lead 😬
– But Joao Pedro wasn’t having it! He smashed an absolute screamer into the top corner to level things up ⚡
– Then in the dying minutes, he struck again on the counter-attack to win it for the Blues! 🙌🔥
Chelsea finished 6th in the league phase and now they’ll face one of these teams in the Round of 16: Monaco, Qarabag, PSG, or Newcastle 👀
The knockout draw happens February 27th, with matches kicking off in March 📅
Meanwhile, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, and Man City all finished in the top 8 and automatically qualified for the last 16 without having to play the playoff round 💯
Boss Liam Rosenior also had nothing but respect for former Chelsea legend Antonio Conte before the match, praising his passion both as a player and a manager 👏
What a performance! The Blues are BACK! 💙🔥
