For key 6 of the UEFA – Champions League 2022-2023 tournament, the Blues ended up with victory against B. Dortmund. The local goals were scored by Raheem Sterling (43′ 1T) and Kai Havertz (7′ 2T, penalty).

Kai Havertz fired a superb shot after 27 minutes and the ball hit the post. It couldn’t be.

Mateo Kovacic was the figure of the game. The Chelsea midfielder completed 24 correct passes and took two shots on goal.

Kai Havertz was also important. The Chelsea striker has scored 1 goal, touched the opposite goal 5 times and made 30 correct passes.

The course of the match was very tight and intense, with more nerves than game. The warnings were numerous: Niklas Süle, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Enzo Fernández, Ben Chilwell, Marius Wolf, Marc Cucurella and Jude Bellingham.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter presented a 3-4-3 strategy with Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal; Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella on the defensive line; Reece James, Mateo Kovacic, Enzo Fernández and Ben Chilwell in the middle; and Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz and João Félix in attack.

For their part, those led by Edin Terzic stopped with a 4-5-1 pattern with Alexander Meyer under the three sticks; Marius Wolf, Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterbeck and Raphaël Guerreiro in defence; Emre Can, Julian Brandt, Jude Bellingham, Salih Ozcan and Marco Reus in midfield; and Sébastien Haller in front.

Referee Danny Makkelie was chosen to carry out the actions of the match.

The Blues put an end to the illusion of B. Dortmund and qualified for the quarter-finals of the UEFA – Champions League 2022-2023.
