Chelsea’s flat performance, which
saw the absence of a formal centre-forward with Fernando Torres staying on the
bench, have given them better burden to fight the prospect of being the first
Champions League winners to exit early in the following season.
Fabio Quagliarella’s successful
rebound effort from a repelled Andrea Pirlo attempt indicated that Juventus
could win w1th ease in
the match. An hour into the match, Arturo Vidal fired inside scoreless
Chelsea’s netting. Sebastian Giovinco sealed victory with an injury-time goal.
