The match begins! The first ball is managed by the defending champion Chelsea.21:00

Chilwell tries the left shot from a distance of 20 metres. An offsetting shot ends over the bar.21:03
Aimpante is a Chelsea start that forces Juventus to stay cohesive in their Metacambo. Allegri’s team struggles to get out.21:05
A personal act by Rudiger who, after recovering the ball in the midfield, reaches the ball into the penalty area. Bentancur will take care of her in a slip to sweep a corner kick.21:07
Corner kick to return to the center of the area by James. Shaluba arrives with his head which, however, does not frame the door mirror.21:09
Try to show the Juventus striker in these first 10 minutes. Bentancur turns left for Morata who focuses and tries right: rejected by the England defense.21:10
He clears his head, after the first minutes of his defence, with the formation of Max Allegri. The pressure from Chelsea subsided, allowing the Bianconeri to think with the ball.21:12

Chelsea pressure continues, as happened in the first minutes of the match, and the Bianconeri besieged Metacampo.21:18
Rudiger, often in an offensive drop at this point in the game, is trying to conclude with his left hand: The ball ends up on the side.21:19
Tuchel’s men constantly go in search of Hudson-Odoi raids. So far, the right-wing Juventus streak, formed by McKinney and Cuadrado, has been good at containing the singles Chelsea winger.21:21
Juventus included: A yellow card for Cuadrado.21:23
Chelsea chance! Despite the tight angle, James still tried to shoot on goal. A poisonous bullet he found ready to fend off Chesney.21:23

Juventus Chance! Locatelli’s great filter for input into the Morata region. The Spanish striker beats Mendy, but Thiago Silva saves everything on the goal line. The prodigy of the former Brazilian defender Milan.21:29
Good reaction from Juventus after being hit by the goal moments ago. Allegri’s side must return to being dangerous if they are to win at least one draw at Stamford Bridge.21:31
More steady pace on the part of Chelsea who, of course, has no desire to increase pressure after finding the advantage.21:33
Chelsea chance! James played very well on the right wing free to shoot on goal. Chest pauses and a violent finale to cross: Chesney’s excellent response in a corner kick.21:37
Chelsea substitution: Kante exits, Loftus-Cheek entry.21:37
Chelsea are still dangerous on an inactive ball. Rüdiger heading for a corner: kicked a little outside.21:38

The end of the first half: Chelsea – Juventus 1-0.21:48
The first half at Stamford Bridge ended with the home side’s advantage signed by Chalopah. Chelsea are masters of the game from the first minutes, but open the score only on an inactive ball. The English defender closes the scrum in the penalty area from a corner kick with his right. A few moments later, Juventus grabbed the ball to equalize but a providential attempt by Thiago Silva betrayed Morata’s throat ache after passing Mendy on the way out.21:50
She’s back at Stamford Bridge! The ball is managed by Juventus.22:03
Lightning restart for Chelsea thanks to the combination of Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi. The English side enters the penalty area and is blocked by De Ligt when he hits the net.22:06

The warm-up starts from the main men on the bench at Juventus. Kane, Kolosevsky and Dybala are ready to enter this second half.22:10
Take the free kick towards the middle of the area. Thiago Silva stands out as he tackles Chesney with a low fist.22:11

Goal! Chelsea vs Juventus 2-0! James Network. Cross from the left, veered to the far post with a Bonucci intervention, where James is ready to level the ball and kick it hard with his right. Conclusion to cross becomes unstoppable for Chesney: Blues double at Stamford Bridge.22:14
Goal! Chelsea vs Juventus 3-0! Hudson-Odoi Network. Great job for the European champions finding the triple advantage target. James is a free man on the right, left again by Alex Sandro, capable of sorting into the penalty area. Loftus-Cheek, after a lucky bounce, managed to find Hudson-Odoi kicking with his left foot and punching Szczesny for the third time.22:17
Juventus substitution: Bentancur exits and Dybala’s entry.22:17
Allegri’s team literally collapsed in the second half. After a good first half, this start to recovery was a real nightmare for the Bianconeri. Now half an hour of playing until you don’t completely lose your head.22:19
I am currently suspended at Stamford Bridge. Ziyech remains on the ground after the game clash, giving the Doctors the opportunity to enter the field.22:22
Juventus substitution: Locatelli exits, Arthur’s entry.22:24
Juventus substitution: Morata exits and Kane’s entry.22:25
