Latest football commentary on Chelsea vs Bayer Leverkusen
Chelsea's performance against PSG has given coach Enzo Maresca great confidence ahead of the 2025-26 season, with many viewing the Champions League winners as the best team in the world. However, Chelsea scored three goals in the first half and did not allow the French side to create any dangerous chances in the opening 45 minutes.

Some fans are concerned that participation in the Club World Cup could negatively impact the upcoming season, as Maresca's players have played more games than their domestic rivals.
Chelsea finished last season in fifth place in the Premier League with 69 points – six more than in 2023-24 – and just five points behind second-placed Arsenal.
Scoring 64 goals and conceding 43, Chelsea finished the season with the 7th highest scoring record (tied) and the 3rd best defense in the league, just 2 goals behind champions Liverpool.
Chelsea's late 2024-25 form has been extremely impressive, as they have won 14 of their last 16 games and lost just twice in that period.
A win over Leverkusen would extend Chelsea's winning streak at Stamford Bridge to five games, and their 11th win in their last 13 home games.
Leverkusen endured a difficult 2024-25 season as they were stripped of the Bundesliga title by Bayern Munich, finishing 23 points behind the Bavarians.
The team has been in decline in all aspects, scoring just 72 goals and conceding 43 in the Bundesliga – 17 fewer and 19 more than they scored in the 2023-24 season.
Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was appointed to replace Xabi Alonso, who left Leverkusen to manage Real Madrid.
Stars like Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Granit Xhaka also left the club this summer, significantly weakening Leverkusen's squad.
Ten Hag led the team to four pre-season friendlies. Despite losing 1-5 to Flamengo’s youth team in their first match on July 18, they won three consecutive matches after that, scoring seven goals and conceding just one.
Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last four away games of the 2024-25 season, but have drawn three of those games.
