Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder for Chelsea, gave an explanation for the Blues’ 3-0 Champions League victory over La Liga leaders Barcelona on Tuesday. The Argentine questioned Barça manager Hansi Flick’s tactical strategy for the match at Stamford Bridge, saying the visitors’ choice to maintain an extremely high defensive line was a mistake. The Blues maintained all three points at Stamford Bridge and advanced to fifth position in the standings thanks to goals from Liam Delap, Willian Estevao, and Jules Kounde. The video assistant referee denied three goals from Andrey Santos and Fernandez. Fernandez insisted that the Blues should have won, but he thought the Catalans made it extremely simple for them.The Chelsea midfielder told Movistar Plus+, “I didn’t like how high their defensive line was.” “We were able to locate our attacker in space numerous times since we knew there were gaps behind them. “And we had prepared that plan with Maresca as well.” With the win, Enzo Maresca’s team moved up to fifth place in the Champions League standings and increased the west London team’s chances of qualifying automatically.
