Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior. The 25-year-old has been linked with the move away from the Spanish club. His contract expires in 2027, and Real Madrid have not been able to agree on a new deal with him. His performances have not been at the desired level either. The Brazilian has struggled this season, and he will look to get back to his best once again.

The way he leads by example, the way he dedicates himself, that shows what great form he's in,

"We struggled in the first half but, in the second, we were much, much better,"

But Jackson? He is up there with football's most entertaining mavericks, a trait which was presumably why we reporters were rarely allowed an audience with him in the Blues' mixed zone. Bayern put him up this week and at one stage, Jackson had to correct himself when discussing Chelsea. 'My former cl... no, my club,' he said during one answer in English. Clearly, he remains mindful that, technically, he is still contracted until 2033 at Stamford Bridge.

Fabio Carvalho snuck in at the back post to make it 2-2 in the dying moments of the game, with Garnacho going to sleep and losing his man. The Argentina international recently joined from Chelsea from Manchester United, and it's probably fair to say that there'll be a few Blues fans who weren't that sure about the deal. Garnacho was never particularly consistent or hard working enough at Man Utd, and it's perhaps moments like this that illustrate why they let him go this summer

Share Marco Silva's pre-match thoughts We are ready for a very, very tough game. We had a good performance last Sunday and we did the job with eight changes in midweek. We have our plan it's not for us to talk about that now, I'd prefer for us to express that on the field. We know what we want from the game.
