Despite having several chances to score, Chelsea were unable to find the back of the net and were beaten by Manchester City through Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic in front of their own fans.

“I think we fought very well for most of the game, if not better, it was close,” Maresca said after the game.

“The performance was good, but we didn’t take our chances. The biggest difference was probably in the penalty area. I’m quite happy with the performance.”

“For me, the most important thing is to create chances. We didn’t score, but we created chances. Their first goal was almost offside. We almost scored as well. These things can change the result, but the overall performance was good.”

“We have to face the defending champion today. We will continue our performance and win.”
