Just two minutes in, Panathinaikos had a great opportunity , with Jedvaj heading in a dangerous shot and Joergensen responding with a fantastic save. And it didn’t take long for the fans to applaud the team again, after Ounahi ‘s cross went just wide of the post.

But as the minutes passed, Chelsea moved up their lines, settled in the opposing half and in the 23rd minute João Félix scored , responding to a pass from Mudryk which was half a goal.

And if any doubts still remained, they were dispelled in the 49th minute: Pedro Neto moved up the pitch on the right, made a perfect cross and Mudryk responded with a header for Chelsea ‘s second goal , which without forcing much increased the advantage.

In the 55th minute the third goal arrived. João Félix went from the left to the center and the shot deflected off Maksimovic and deceived goalkeeper Dragowski and in the 58th minute Félix crossed again and won a penalty that would be successfully scored by Nkunku .

The best thing Panathinaikos did was score, through Pellistri , in the 69th minute, when Chelsea had already lost intensity.
