Chelsea supporters are echoing a shared sentiment following Hakim Ziyech’s Champions League display. Fans were taken aback by Ziyech’s impressive performance during Galatasaray’s recent match.
Ziyech, now 30, made a move from Chelsea to Turkish side Galatasaray during the summer on a season-long loan with a buyout clause, as reported by BBC.
In the riveting midweek Champions League clash between Galatasaray and Manchester United in Istanbul, the winger showcased his standout performance of the season.
During this game, Ziyech displayed his best form so far, scoring two goals and providing an assist. His goals came from expertly taken free kicks, contributing to the 3-3 draw, while the criticism was directed at Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, for his subpar performance in conceding those goals.
Ziyech didn’t solely focus on attacking; he contributed significantly during a chaotic European encounter, a facet not commonly associated with his playing style, especially given his background with Morocco.
On social media platforms, numerous Chelsea fans expressed surprise at Ziyech’s stellar performance against Manchester United and pondered why they didn’t witness such displays during his time at Chelsea.
Throughout his 107 appearances for Chelsea, Ziyech scored 14 goals and provided 13 assists, figures considered relatively low given his skill level. Here are some of the discussions among Chelsea fans regarding Ziyech’s performance against Manchester United.
