Last season it was pretty rare that a Chelsea player made it into Gazzetta dello Sport’s European Team of the Week, but this season it’s a regular occurrence. Flying high under Antonio Conte, Chelsea are the runaway favourites for the Premier League thanks to their lead.
Willian has had a difficult season at times, and had to deal with the death of his mother, so it’s especially good to see the Chelsea player doing well, and his achievements being recognised.
Each week Gazzetta pick an eleven based on the best performances around Europe, ignoring their own Serie A and Coppa Italia.
