Chelsea tame Drogba but let Galatasaray off hook

Chelsea tame Drogba but let Galatasaray off hook
29.05.2020 08:57
Chelsea missed a big opportunity to put one foot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they let a goal advantage slip in a 1-1 draw against Galatasaray.

Fernando Torres, preferred in attack to Samuel Eto’o, rewarded his side’s good start when he poked Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross into an empty net with Galatasaray keeper Fernando Muslera committed.In truth, it could have been much more for Chelsea as Galatasaray bombed forward with reckless abandon, forcing manager Roberto Mancini into a more defensive early change.But they were a different side after Mancini’s tactical reshuffle and on the half hour and deservedly equalised when Aurelien Chedjou stole in front of John Terry to thump past a statuesque Petr Cech from a corner for his first Champions League goal.Much of the pre-match focus had been on former Chelsea talisman Didier Drogba, who won the Champions League with his last kick for the club.But Chelsea fans were grateful he had a quiet night and will be hoping for more of the same when he makes an emotional return to Stamford Bridge.(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)ANN.Az
