Some people are unhappy when Willian is in the Chelsea first team, and they are even more annoyed when he does well.
Tonight was one of those nights. Keeping fan favourites Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic out of the team, the haters weren’t happy when the Brazilian pinged the ball into the net to win a vital game Champions League for Chelsea.
But it wasn’t just that goal that was so impressive. Look at his numbers on WhoScored. 6 crosses, most on the team. 3 keys passes most on the team. 4 long balls, all 4 of them accurate.
He also picked up 3 dribbles, second only to N’Golo Kante on the team.
It was an all round virtuoso show from one of the most experienced players on the team, who earned up 3 points for the second game in the row.
The haters will continue to hate, and Willian will continue to frustrate, but also perform (sometimes), when it really matters.
