Chelsea vs Dortmund: Blues hope to contain Bellingham and Co as they eye Champions League last-16 comeback – stream, TV
CHELSEA hope to flip their Champions League last-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund on its head – but it won’t be easy.
Karim Adeyemi’s sensational solo goal in the first leg has put Dortmund in the drivers seat to progress.
And this defeat added to under-fire Graham Potter’s immense pressure as the Blues had only secured one victory in 2023.
However, Wesley Fofana’s 53rd minute header on the weekend sealed Chelsea’s first three points since January.
Furthermore, the win against Leeds relieved some pressure on Potter’s shoulders who had seen his team score just four goals in TWO months prior to that effort.
But now, the West London outfit come up against Jude Bellingham and Co who have won every single game this year.
