Overall, I think we had a very good performance.
But yes, maybe a little bit more open than we expected, to be honest, yes.
Alvaro, when you haven't scored for a few games, is that the ideal way to come back a big goal in a big game?
Do you think that's the most important goal you've scored for Chelsea so far?
And it's not the first time that Cesar Azpilicueta has supplied the cross either.
Do you have an understanding?
Cesc, were you surprised how much space you found, particularly in the midfield?
Well, we prepared the game in a way that we know how they like to defend.
They like to close one side and move across.
And maybe if we leave the interiors open and we attack in the space, we could create problems.
And that's what we did.
We had more possession than usual.
which for me is something that we've been lacking.
Today we had the personality to play, we said it before the game, it's fantastic to defend well and to be a block and stuff, but we need to play, we need to play, we need to have possession.
This is a team full of, in my opinion, fantastic players and we need to take advantage of that.
And I think we struggled lately maybe a little bit to defend a little bit too much and not have the ball enough.
And today I think we had a lot of the ball.
We created chances.
We played like a big team.
We defended like a big team.
