One Chelsea star has been singled out for special praise during the Blues’ current outing. Chelsea are currently locked in Champions League action with Lille.
The Blues are facing off with the French outfit at Stamford Bridge in the first of two Round of 16 ties.
Chelsea headed into the game in pretty mixed form, but are facing a Lille side currently languishing in midtable in Ligue 1.
So, a Chelsea win on the day was to be expected and, so far, that looks set to happen.
The home outfit have dominated proceedings at the time of writing and are currently leading 1-0.
Kai Havertz, who came into the XI for Romelu Lukaku, headed Chelsea into the lead after just seven minutes.
Thiago Silva praised
That man is Thiago Silva who, despite being 37, is continuing to perform at the highest level for the Blues.
Just some of the reaction to Silva’s superb showing vs Lille can be seen below:
