Johnny On The Spot: #NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED. The importance of this win in the scheme of things cannot be over emphasised enough. A lengthy injury list of club legends, post a second defeat of the 2018-19 campaign ahead of a combative run of fixtures into Christmas, The Blues simply had to deliver. Furthermore, this season’s Champions League is wide open. Winning Group F following that opening defeat to Lyon is a fine achievement. However, finishing first or second this year, you can expect to face strong opposition. Atletico Madrid, Schalke, Roma and Ajax lie in wait for us.
