Despite the brilliant performance, yesterday ended with disappointment for the Blues on their trip to Spain. Thomas Tuchel’s team eventually lost in overtime thanks to Karim Benzema’s header, but was the best team for most of the match and left the competition with a lot of pride. James, along with several others, really impressed in the composition of Chelsea. The versatile 22-year-old defender fell to the position of right center back, something that brought him directly to the danger from Madrid, Vinicius Jr. It was an interesting battle between them all night.
James officially returns to HITC!
The 18-year-old midfielder of Borussia Dortmund and England, Bellingham, responded to his international colleague on Instagram to applaud him after an epic of the Champions League.
Southgate must use James
Surely the boss of England, Gareth Southgate, can not leave James out of his top eleven.
He was excellent yesterday in the competition with one of the most in extreme form in the world, so it is great to know that he can fall into the position of center back.
In addition, he regularly shows how amazing an offensive threat he is when he plays extreme back.
The way he is capable of performing in a Champions League environment should put him in a good position before a World Cup at the end of 2022.
It says a lot when a world-class Benzema player asks for your shirt after the final whistle.
