What former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen did vs France after Kylian Mbappe goal

Former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen was called up for Denmark's World Cup squad and has played a crucial role in their match against France.

Christensen spent nine years at Stamford Bridge after signing from Danish side Brondby IF on a free transfer back in 2013. The Denmark international won the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and the FA Cup during his time with the Blues.

The 26-year-old departed Stamford Bridge at the end of last season after refusing to sign a new contract, signing for Spanish giants Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer. Christensen's departure left a gaping hole in the Blues' defence after fan-favourite Antonio Rudiger followed him out of the door to join Real Madrid, resulting in Chelsea signing Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly as their replacements.
