Chelsea continued a miserable week for the club with a 1-0 defeat to Juventus.
The Turin club are currently tenth in Serie A after six matches, and find themselves 10 points behind leaders Napoli. Therefore, beating last season’s Champions League winners is a big deal for Max Allegri’s side and will give them added confidence ahead of coming matches.
In Italy, Juventus’ performance is being seen in a good light, with Gazzetta dello Sport giving them a combined rating of 7.5/10. For Chelsea, that drops down to a disappointing 5/10.
‘The worst’ performer for Thomas Tuchel’s side is put as Hakim Ziyech, with Gazzetta saying ‘never a shot, a dribble, only 8 crosses’.
They weren’t too impressed with Tuchel’s management of the game either, but did feel Mateo Kovacic played reasonably well, giving him 6.5.
For Chelsea, it’s not a disaster and they still find themselves second in the group and in a good position to qualify. It is, however, another dent in the club’s early season optimism.
