Excellent operation for Chelsea!

Striker ?
Olivier Giroud, in the 71st minute, after two minutes of suspense and VAR.
An absolutely superb return for the world champion, and his sixth achievement in C1 this season.
The two teams will meet again in three weeks, on March 17, for the second leg.
It remains to be seen where.
