Leonardo Bonucci was right to speak of a "lesson" to qualify the collective sinking of Juventus at Stamford Bridge (4-0 for the Blues).

A lesson for Juve, a lesson inflicted by Chelsea, in short, the word is appropriate in both senses.

Thomas Tuchel's men outclassed the Old Lady in London on Tuesday night in the Champions League to regain first place in Group H, one day before the end of the group stage of the Champions League.

If they do not do a worse result in Russia than Juve at home against the Swedes, the Londoners will have the home advantage when they return to eighth.

And on Tuesday night's game, that would seem quite logical, as they stifled the Old Lady in intensity: in the well-supported passes, in the sharp calls, in the physical impact ...

It was enough to see how Thiago Silva threw himself to release just in front of the line a small lob from Alvaro Morata who had beaten Edouard Mendy (29th), before going to hit the billboards behind the goal, to get an idea of determination put to all levels.

Despite the absence of Kaï Havertz, spared, and the presence on the bench, at kick-off, of Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner or, more surprisingly, of Mason Mount, Chelsea brilliantly assumed his status title holder of the competition.

He relied on his young shoots, Trevoh Chalobah opening the scoring on a corner (1-0, 25th), before Reece James doubled the mark with a cross strike (2-0, 55th) and Callum Hudson-Odoi does not drive home the point after a very good job from Ruben Loftus-Cheek who took the place of Kanté (3-0, 58th).

Kanté injured

At the very end of the match, the German Timo Werner, who entered the game, gave a little international touch to the score on a pass from the Moroccan Hakim Zyiech (4-0, 90th + 5).

The only downsides: the injuries of N'Golo Kanté and Ben Chilwell.

Thomas Tuchel explained after the meeting to BT Sports that the left-back "felt a great pain, like N'Golo, unfortunately, as if he had twisted his knee".
