Chelsea started their Conference League campaign with a bang – a 4-2 win over Gent at Stamford Bridge.
There is basically zero danger at this stage of the competition given some of the opposition. It’s a stroll to the knockouts – and even then it shouldn’t be too taxing.
On TNT Sports they pointed out the value of the Blues’ squad – pretty much the same as every other team in the competition put together. “They SHOULD dominate this competition,” Don Hutchinson pointed out.
Well they made a good start on that tonight.
