Our Europa League campaign ended in disappointment on Wednesday night as we were beaten by Chelsea in the final in Baku.
The game got off to a cagey start, not helped by the sedate atmosphere inside the Olympic Stadium, and it was not until the 18th minute that it burst into life.
It came as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang cushioned a header to play Alex Lacazette in on goal, and the French striker touched the ball past Kepa before going down in the area. Penalty? No. VAR review? Also, surprisingly, no.
We had an encouraging spell midway through the first period, with Kepa once again denying Lacazette who had been played through by Torreira, before Granit Xhaka arrowed a fierce drive narrowly over from 25 yards.
