Chelsea made the trip to Germany for the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 match against Dortmund. Chelsea made every effort to prevent Dortmund from preying on their defense, but they were powerless to do so.
Both sides attacked and counterattacked aggressively in the first half, but neither side was able to score, and the first half period ended scoreless.
Nigerian-born Karim Adeyemi’s impressive thunderbolt ignited the second half. A few minutes into the second half, Karim Adeyemi scored to break the scoreless tie after making a lovely run and some nice decisions.
Chelsea’s overall performance this season has shown how much they miss two of their most hardworking players, Edouard Mendy and Ngolo Kante.

How much do you think their absence will affect Chelsea in the long run?
