Summary
With the good comes the bad...
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Liam Twomey and Dom Fifield to look back on the 2-1 win over Zagreb in the final Champions League Group game.

We'll be back on Monday to reflect on another busy weekend of action - and look ahead to the midweek trip to Manchester City in the League Cup.
