History will call Garnacho's name.

The Argentinian winger came on as a substitute at the start of the second half, when his team was trailing Qarabag 1-2. In the 52nd minute, Garnacho shone with a goal that helped Chelsea equalize 2-2. This was also the final score of the match.

This goal made Garnacho the first player to score for two different English clubs in the Champions League before the age of 21. Previously, he scored in this competition while playing for Manchester United in 2023, when he was just 19 years old.

After leaving Old Trafford to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, Garnacho is struggling to compete for a starting place. He has only scored two goals for "The Blues" in nine appearances across all competitions.

Despite Garnacho's individual brilliance, Chelsea's overall performance against Qarabag disappointed fans. Despite being considered the stronger team, Enzo Maresca's side lacked cohesion and nearly paid the price if not for a moment of brilliance from the former Manchester United player.

Coach Maresca made seven changes to the starting lineup in the victory against Tottenham in the Premier League on November 2nd. Key players such as Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Pedro Neto were all rested, causing Chelsea to struggle in their build-up play.

With this draw, Chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the Champions League knockout round, but manager Maresca admitted the team needs to improve significantly if they want to progress further.

Two goals helped MU beat Chelsea. On the night of September 20th, MU struggled to defeat Chelsea 2-1 at home in the highlight match of the 5th round of the Premier League, thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
