Drogba Arena, London – 29 September 2054 – Chelsea produced another dazzling display under Calin Dimario as they brushed aside Inter Milan 4–0 in the UEFA Champions League League Phase, reaffirming their status as Europe’s form side. It was a night of tactical authority, relentless pressure, and standout performances from the Blues’ attacking unit, led by Shon Mishpati.
The tone was set early when Júnior fired home a precise effort from just inside the box in the 22nd minute. Mario Cardozo doubled the advantage before the break with a composed finish following a slick passing move. Chelsea’s fluid play left Inter chasing shadows throughout, unable to cope with the hosts’ pace and movement.
The second half saw Mishpati take centre stage. The Israeli playmaker, tireless and inventive, nodded in a third goal from close range in the 73rd minute before setting up Júnior for his second of the night four minutes later. It was a performance that earned him the Player of the Match award with a 9.6 rating, two assists, a goal, and 14 kilometres covered.
Manager Calin Dimario was full of praise afterward: “His performance spoke for itself. Nothing I can say will add anything to it—it was that good.” The win marks another clean sheet for a Chelsea defence that has yet to concede in Europe this season.
The result places Chelsea top of the Champions League standings with two wins from two, alongside Wolfsburg and Napoli, each with six points. Dimario’s men have scored five goals and conceded none—an ominous sign for the rest of the continent.
