The man for the big occasion.

Christian Pulisic makes it 2-0 for Chelsea against Lille!
His first UCL goal since away at Real Madrid in the semi’s last season.

Romelu Lukaku
Andreas Christensen
Jorginho
Kai Havertz
Hakim Ziyech
Trevoh Chalobah
Reece James
Callum Hudson-Odoi
Timo Werner
C. Pulisic
We’re only at the R16 stage.
Christian Pulisic has scored his first ever UCL goal at Stamford Bridge.
Each of his last three goals in the competition for the Blues had all come away from home.
08’: Chelsea 1-0 Lille
63’: Chelsea 2-0 Lille
The Blues have doubled their lead at Stamford Bridge.
N’Golo Kanté has now provided three assists in his last six starts for Chelsea across all competitions:
vs. Liverpool
vs. Brighton
vs. Lille
A superb run by the Frenchman to slip in Christian Pulisic.
Dani Parejo has scored his first ever goal in the knockout stages of the UCL
It’s only his second-ever goal in the competition.
Dani Parejo has just scored his first-ever UCL goal from open play, with his only previous goal in the competition coming from the penalty spot in Valencia’s 4:1 win over Lille OSC on 5 November 2019.
It’s now 1:1 with 20 minutes to go!
Édouard Mendy’s record in the #UCL knockout stages:
8 games
6 wins
6 clean sheets
2 goals conceded
It’s too easy for him.
Unai Emery has never progressed from the Round of 16 in the Champions League, but his side remain in the tie after the first leg…
Advantage Juventus after a very quick start!
Juventus have failed to win the away leg of their last 16 tie in each of the last four seasons:
0-2 vs Atlético
0-1 vs Lyon
1-2 vs Porto
1-1 vs Villarreal
Failing at the first hurdle.
14 – Édouard Mendy has kept a clean sheet in 14 of his 18 starts in the UEFA Champions League (78%) – the highest clean sheet ratio of any goalkeeper with 5+ starts in the competition’s history. Assured.
