The season has gotten off to a lackluster start for Chelsea, as they were defeated by Dinamo Zagreb, the champions of Croatia, 1-0.
Chelsea’s three-game losing streak on the road under Thomas Tuchel extends across all competitions.
Chelsea entered the match as heavy favorites to win their first game of the season and the group. They had just won the competition the year before.
Their dominance was finally broken by a goal from Mislav Ori that was completely unexpected.
Tuchel started Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, formerly of Barcelona and Arsenal, in his Chelsea debut, although the former didn’t exactly light up the night for his team.
And although though German forward Kai Havertz was Chelsea’s most dangerous offensive weapon, he was unable to produce for the Blues.
Chelsea has conceded in 6 of its 7 matches this season in all competitions. They spent $202m on defenders this summer.
