It feels surreal that José's first season in England is now twenty years ago. I still remember it as if it were just a few months ago. At least it is somewhat reassuring that, despite all the changes that took place in that time, José has remained essentially the same.

An interesting analysis of Chelsea's difficulties and especially about the role of Enzo Maresca. What I found particularly interesting was this piece of analysis:

"It is perhaps instructive that Chelsea have the second-highest xG in the league, according to Opta, and have underperformed it by 3.72 goals, which suggests their chance creation is on the right track. Against that, the dynamism of their football has regressed since the first half of the season."

"6.Each kicker can kick the ball only once. Once kicked, the kicker may not play the ball again. The decision on a re-kick is solely at the referee's discretion."

Sanfrecce Hiroshima won the first leg 6-1, but were found to have fielded a player who was serving a suspension in Asian competition due to his actions at his previous club. It was turned into a 3-0 win for Lion City Sailors, who managed a 1-1 draw at home in the second leg. Just AFC things.

Alternate angle: https://fmkorea.com/8125223116

While the tie already felt decided after the 3:0 win in the first leg, a win on aggregate of 5:0 for Bayern really cements the German pecking order that had been disturbed last season. Obviously missing Florian Wirtz is not ideal, but Leverkusen really did not look like turning the tie around at any point, in my opinion.
