The French defender endured a rough evening, struggling to cope with Chelsea’s high pressing and quick transitions. Several moments in the game saw him caught out of position, hesitant in challenges, and slow to react when the Blues launched counterattacks. His decision-making under pressure was also questioned, especially during the buildup to Chelsea’s opening goal when he failed to clear his line decisively, allowing Moisés Caicedo to pounce and fire home from distance.
