Kai Havertz dropped, Hakim Ziyech claiming a famous win. Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Leandro Trossard all criticised, Jamal Musiala standing out and Alvaro Morata having the last laugh. That was a standard Chelsea Sunday in World Cup terms.
There was more drama, more goals, more shocks, more controversy and more narratives in Qatar as the tournament finished off its first full week, now time for some more as the games refuse to stop. There's another full day of games in the schedule and Chelsea will have their eyes peeled once more in anticipation.
With transfer targets a plenty and decisions over many of the stars in Blues' future to be made, every game counts for something and today is no different.
