Amid a discussion among fans, José travelled with the team to Monaco.

The Champions League group stage is at a crucial stage and Chelsea must win this game to secure progress, and having a 13/14 season, it is unlikely that Chelsea will be able to save qualification until the final round.

In this game, the popular fried chicken Mbappe returned from injury, but sat on the bench all over the game and did not get any chance to play.

Once the game started, Monaco played extremely aggressively and threatened to eat Chelsea in one bite.

However, it was just a smoke bomb, and after a few waves of attacks, they began to shrink their defenses, making it clear that they were going to attack with two fast horses on the wing.

In the 11th minute, Luis brought down Falcao in the box.

Luiz was booked and Monaco were awarded a penalty.

The early penalty was awarded to the Monaco fans, who were very happy for a while.

However, when Jose saved Falcao's penalty, the audience was silent.

In the first half, Monaco used counter-attacks and threatened Jose on several occasions.

It's just that Jose is different from the past, relying on his personal ability, he easily blocked all the opponent's shots.

Chel's western defense is nothing to worry about, but the offensive end is a bit weaker.

Throughout the first half, Chelsea had 65 per cent possession and had just three shots on goal, all of which went wide of the net.

The Blues are in a bit of a bad situation.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

Chelsea continued to press, but nothing changed.

In the 49th minute, Monaco counterattacked quickly.

Edouard Mendy crosses from the left.

The ball crossed over the small penalty area and fell to the far post.

Sidibe, who was unmarked, took the ball and volleyed straight into the near corner.

Jose was still on the left side of the goal.

Luckily, Jose is extremely responsive and quick to start.

As the ball was about to cross the goal line, Jose kept it out with one hand.

Chelsea escaped the game.

The game continues.

Unexpectedly, as the so-called catastrophe does not die, there will be a blessing in the future.

Three minutes later, Eden Hazard burst into the Monaco penalty area with the ball.

Monaco player Glick stretched out his foot and tripped him.

Glick was booked and Chelsea were awarded a penalty.

The opportunity was rare, and Mourinho immediately signaled Jose to take the penalty.

José made it overnight and shot directly.

In the face of speeds above 220 mph, no one was able to save unless Jose missed himself.

The goal went in, 1-0.

In the stands of the Monaco fans, there was silence.

The Chelsea fans cheered in the stands.

With the score behind, Monaco stepped up their counter-attack.

A minute later, Monaco again played a similar quick counter-attack.

Sidibe crosses from the right.

The ball is passed to the left side of the penalty area.

This time, it was Lemar who made the goal.

The first attack could not break through Jose's goal, and it was even more impossible to do the same routine a second time.

At the end of the 90 minutes, Monaco had 16 shots on goal but could not score a single goal.

Chelsea, on the other hand, had 63 per cent of the possession and only managed six shots on goal to score a goal.

An away win over Monaco saw Chelsea qualify from the group one round earlier, with the remaining place between Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen.

The Chelsea players have not let up their training since returning from France as they host local rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

For Chelsea fans, Chelsea can lose to any opponent, even Arsenal, but definitely not to Tottenham.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere that Chelsea will face Tottenham, even when they are at their lowest, they will be in good spirits.

On 26 November, the final Premier League game of the day kicks off, with Chelsea hosting local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Ahead of the game, Manchester City and Liverpool had both won and the gap on Chelsea had narrowed to just two points.

Considering that Chelsea will clash with Manchester City in the next round, this game must be won.

With a whistle from referee Oliver, the game began.

Playing away, Tottenham took the initiative to attack, and the ferocious style of play caused the Chelsea players to retreat into the half.

In the fifth minute, Luiz and Cahill made clearance errors that allowed Tottenham to take a free-kick.

Ali took a free-kick and passed it straight into the six-yard box.

In the scuffle, Harry Kane fired from close range and he was clearly offside.

But Jose still struggled to make a save.

When Jose blocked Kane's shot, the assistant referee also signalled for Kane offside.

No one knows if the assistant referee would have raised the flag if Jose had not made a successful save.

As for Oliver? The Premier League's four blind heroes are not called for nothing.

In the 8th minute, Tottenham won another free kick opportunity.

However, Dier's free-kick shot went high.

José just glanced at it and stood still.

Three minutes later, Tottenham had another chance.

Ali passes.

In front of the left side of the box, Eriksen volleys with his left foot.

The ball flew between Cahill and Luiz before flying towards the left side of the goal.

World Wave, this is definitely a perfect kick of World Wave.

Jose didn't dare to slack off, and he could see that Eriksen's shot was headed for the post.

In the face of this kind of shot, just touching the ball is not enough.

José decisively used the plug-in.

It's not that Jose can't be scored, it's that he can't be scored by Tottenham.

Relying on Jose's magical play, he finally blocked Eriksen's world wave from the bottom line.

After the first ten minutes, Chelsea finally held their ground.

Unfortunately, Chelsea's attack has had little effect.

The first half was tied 0-0.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

Kante's long-range shot from outside the box, although it was directly confiscated by Lloris, also sounded the alarm for Tottenham.

In the 51st minute, Chelsea counter-attacked.

Nemanja Matic crossed and the ball reached Pedro.

In front of the left side of the box, Pedro volleys a right-footed shot into the far corner.

Lloris made a flying save, but the ball flew into the net.

Chelsea were the first to break the deadlock.

Pedro's goal was similar to Eriksen's world wave, except that Eriksen met Jose.

Just a minute later, Chelsea had another great chance.

Diego Costa bursts into the left side of the box.

Several Tottenham players were attracted to him.

Costa passes back to the middle of the box near the baseline.

The unmarked Moses shoots with his right foot.

It's a pity that it hit Lori in the leg.

The ball bounces back.

Then came something that excited Chelsea fans.

The rebounding ball hit the foot of Verhengton, who was returning to the defense.

The ball deflected twice and flew into the net.

2-0, the winner has been decided.

Although Tottenham then intensified their attack, under Jose's command, Tottenham were not given any chance at all.

Chelsea continue to lead the table with seven consecutive league wins.

To the dismay of Arsenal fans, Chelsea's unbeaten run across the season has reached 52.

Do Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have a chance to stop this Chelsea team?
