Chelsea ownership uncertainty and EU sanctions overshadow Pulisic's big Champions League night vs. Lille OSC
CBSN
Chelsea now expected to be ordered to play all matches behind closed doors, including in UCL, until a sale is made
Chelsea marched on in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday with a 2-1 win away at Lille OSC, confirming the titleholders' quarterfinal berth with a 4-1 aggregate success, but the result has taken a backseat as news over the Blues' immediate future remains shrouded in uncertainty.
Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta goals saw Thomas Tuchel's men come from 1-0 down after Burak Yilmaz's first-half penalty opener at Stade Pierre Mauroy and attention immediately turned back to Roman Abramovich's sale of the club after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Chelsea have been embroiled in controversy this week after requesting that their FA Cup clash with Middlesbrough be played behind closed doors to maintain "sporting integrity" with ticket sales prohibited due to Abramovich's sanctions which was rightly ridiculed.
