⚽ Marseille v Newcastle, Man City v Leverkusen – live
The coaches Enzo Maresca and Hansi Flick embrace … then the whistle goes and Chelsea kick off. Barcelona are kicking towards the Shed in this first half.
The teams are out! Chelsea wear their royal blue, while Barcelona sport a biscuity number with a dark-blue-and-black collar that gives off strong Internazionale vibes. You’d think they’d not want reminding about the Nerazzurri, given what happened earlier this year, but people deal with heartbreak in different ways. Anyway, a rip-roaring atmosphere at the Bridge, befitting a clash of two genuine European heavyweights, and we’ll be off in a couple of minutes.
