Instead, they made errors. The first one came in the 7th minute. They were reduced to 10 players and the rest is history, as they lost 4-0. PAOK could only face thanks to their fans who stood out in Stamford Bridge.

However, even before the match, everyone knew that qualification will be decided on matchday 6 of the group stage.

If Vidi lose to Chelsea in Budapest and PAOK prevail over BATE Borisov in Toumba Stadium, the “Double-Headed Eagle” will advance to the next round, tougher than expected.

Line-ups:

Chelsea: Κepa, Fábregas, Barkley, Pedro (66’ Willian), Loftus-Cheek, Giroud (75’ Μοράτα), Hudson-Odoi, Zappacosta (63’ Αmpadu), Cahill, Christensen, Emerson.
