During the match between Chelsea and the current Premier League winners Manchester City, Chelsea got thrashed by Man City 4-2 in an epic one-sided battle. Erling Haaland bags a hat-trick against the Blues as he was mocked by the Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella. The cold-blooded revenge paid a heavy price for Cucurella when he won the Euros and made a song about ‘trembling’ Erling Haaland. This took an ironic turn and it all backfired in the match.
Chelsea’s performance was beyond saving under any circumstances, and the player’s selection from the squad told the story of how careless Chelsea had been in the entire game. From false passes to wrong transitioning, Chelsea’s game fell apart due to Enzo Maresca’s tactics. On the other hand, their opposition didn’t miss those chances to secure a big victory, as their overall performances were quite based on the charging and rushing towards the midfield and defense.
Haaland taking care of Chelsea

The Norwegian bagged a hat trick in the very least effortful way possible. During the first half, he got fouled by the goalkeeper Sanchez, but it was at a controversial angle. He then converted the penalty. Chelsea’s defense lacked awareness and gave the ball to Haaland, who scored his second goal.
There were lots of misses and careless defending, which led the whole defense lineup of the Blues to get exposed. The smart runs that were made reminded the team of room to improve. A lot will happen during the upcoming months, but these early games show that a lot is on the line. Furthermore, it shows that plenty will continue to evolve with the season.
Lessons from the past
There were chances to score for the Blues, but somehow it got away as Enzo Fernandes missed a simple chance to slot the goal. The chip went in the wrong direction. In the end, Madueke did his best to save the club from the four-goal defeat as he assisted to Sterling and scored a goal to make it 4-2. The attacking game was somehow decent from the defense. Although there were many chances to score the goals for Chelsea. After the dismissal of Roman Abramovic, things were upsetting for the club when Todd Boehly took charge. They changed five managers under him in just two years. This includes Graham Potter, Bruno Saltor, Frank Lampard, Mauricio Pochettino, and now Enzo Maresca.
Tearing Chelsea apart?
The huge amount of intensity in a dispute between Conor Gallagher, and Blues sets apart the high standard of the club. Gallagher is banished from the club as he is not allowed to enter the first team or train with Maresca’s team. They are now considering selling Gallagher to Atletico Madrid; despite their unwillingness to leave the club, there is no sign of Gallagher convincing Chelsea to stay.
This isn’t the first time the Blues have done something like this. They have also mistreated their childhood player, Mason Mount, forcing him to leave the club tragically. There is a history of great players who have been mistreated by the club, such as Kevin De Bruyne, Mo Salah, Lukaku, and Kai Havertz. However, their involvement in unnecessary signings, which are very expensive, has reached high standards.
