Chelsea Left Heartbroken After Shocking Champions League Snub by Bayern, Palmer Reveals Untold Frustrations
It is the highest number of debutants the club has ever fielded in a single match in the competition, while head coach Enzo Maresca was also overseeing his maiden Champions League match.
Indeed, at 25 years and 122 days on average, Chelsea fielded their third-youngest starting XI in a Champions League away match, behind Ajax in October 2019 (25 years, 71 days) and CSKA Moscow in November 2004 (24 years, 323 days), and Maresca felt there were lessons to be taken.
“Overall, the performance was quite good. We started well for 20 minutes and created two or three chances. When we conceded a goal we could have avoided the game changed a bit,” Maresca told TNT Sports.
