Chelsea's advantages are clearly distinguishable from the perspective of scenes and data. However, this European event is a bit conservative and dull. Chelsea's No. 9 Drapp was in poor form.

Reese-James stood up and took on the heavy responsibility of taking the penalty. As the captain of Chelsea, he shot a powerful and powerful shot with his right foot. The football cleverly bypassed the human wall, rebounded to the ground and then rushed straight to the lower left corner of the goal, instantly piercing through the opponent's defense line. With this wonderful goal, Chelsea took the lead 1-0! The end of the game is already in sight, but the change suddenly comes. When the game reached the 86th minute, dark clouds gathered quickly on the field, and the thunderstorm came with a majestic momentum. In desperation, the game was forced to be interrupted. The players on both sides left the court with helpless expressions, and their faces were full of unconcealed annoyance and unhappiness...
