Blues look destined for deep run in the competition

Chelsea romped to a big 4-1 win away at Panathinaikos on an emotionally-charged evening in Athens.

The Greek side were playing their first home game since the tragic passing of defender George Baldock earlier this month and supporters paid a tribute to him before kick-off by holding up placards showing the number 32, his shirt number.

The effortless Joao Felix opened the scoring before the impressive Mykhailo Mudryk, who had teed up his teammate for the first goal, nodded in Pedro Neto’s cross for the second. Felix would bag his brace after the break before Christopher Nkunku scored a penalty.

Former Manchester United forward Facundo Pellistri would respond for the hosts but Chelsea’s strength in depth was telling. Two wins from two in the Conference League, few would doubt the Blues going all the way even at this early stage of the competition.
