Chelsea's victory truly surprised us all. no one believed Chelsea could win this match by such a high margin. they played so well that PSG was unable to counter their effective attacks. Maresca was truly clever at creating a game that pressed PSG's defense, forcing them into mistakes, which created scoring opportunities for Chelsea. furthermore, Palmer played so well, he was able to create effective attacks against PSG. and I think that if he continues to play like this, it is very possible that he will be a central figure in Chelsea this season.
Several factors came together in this match, PSG's left flank played frankly poorly, and it was clearly Palmer's day, who scored twice. Maybe Donnarumma also made mistakes, but I'm more inclined to blame the defense, which allowed Chelsea to shoot at goal. It's also worth noting the play of Chelsea's defense, they had a difficult task of containing PSG's attack, and to my surprise they succeeded. Maybe Maresca made Chelsea another, better team, while no one expected it from them and all attention was focused on PSG, he reached the final and won. I think that the beginning of the season in the Premier League will show how good they are.
PSG's defense was indeed very poor in yesterday's match. their back line looked out of sync and frequently lost possession. Hakimi and Mendes, usually the mainstays of PSG's back line, appeared to be playing poorly, leaving many holes that Chelsea could exploit. PSG's back line was indeed the most glaring weakness yesterday, and I think it's an area that Enrique will likely improve in the future.
but given Chelsea's performance yesterday, which was so impressive against a club as big as PSG, perhaps this is an early sign that Chelsea are entering a new era under Maresca, and that they could become a new challenger for the Premier League and Champions League.
