I’m very surprised at how well chelsea played, especially as it was 11 vs 13 (ref + var)
Wow, Thiago Silva has stayed in European football longer than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Longevity.
Amazing match. Both clubs should be proud of that performance.
Very entertaining game!! Love a good 4-4 game when my team is not involved, as an Arsenal fan been on the end of a few, vs Liverpool and Newcastle come to mind.
