But as convincing as this defeat was, the blame for Chelsea's exit from the Champions League lies elsewhere. Back in London, to be precise. That chaotic 3-3 draw against these same opponents; that hilariously one-sided nil-nil against Juventus. Which is to say: it's not that Chelsea weren't good enough in one game.

Gollini was at fault for an injudicious attempt to meet Mason Mount's 18th-minute corner, which ended in the net via Antonio Rudiger's back.
At the end of January, Argentina will play two more World Cup qualifiers back in South America, and while qualification for Qatar is already safe, it is tough to see their captain turning down the opportunity to link up once more with the likes of Rodrigo de Paul, Emiliano Martinez and Nicolas Otamendi to hone the nation's strategy looking forward to the finals.
