And Olivier Giroud struck again.
A splendid acrobatic return, which joined some pearls in his personal pantheon, somewhere between a lethal volley in Sweden with the Blues and this unforgettable heel goal against Crystal Palace in the Gunners jersey.
The Frenchman has a little success, on this one, since he is put in play by a touch of the ball from Mario Hermoso, the defender of Atlético Madrid, but the beauty of the gesture owes nothing to anyone.
"It's the kind of gesture that I like, I have a little success, the defender is not going there frankly, I'm ahead."
It took two big minutes for the VAR to validate the only goal of the match, synonymous with a big step towards the quarter-finals of C1 for Chelsea, away winner (0-1).
We criticize the VAR a lot, and rightly so, but it validated Giroud's goal, which was refused for HJ.

“Me, who has never passed the 8th in C1, it would give me great pleasure to go to the next round.
I think it shows that we take a lot of fun, me the first.
Football is an eternal restart, we must not fall asleep on its laurels.
The questioning is perpetual, one can count on me, even when I play less, it is the case of my teammates too.
Since time, we understood, Olivier.
