The Champions League is not supposed to serve up mismatches as resounding as this. Chelsea juggled their first-team options, allowing the likes of John Terry, Juan
Mata and Didier Drogba a breather up in the stands, but still strolled to their biggest home win in this competition and hardly broke into a sweat in the process. Life among Europe's elite should never feel this comfortable.Chelsea fans turned up but the opposition did not. For all the talk of a boycott over ticket prices, the Bridge was practically full to see Chelsea record their biggest home win in the Champions League, destroying Belgian visitors who resembled not so much minnows as plankton.
This was a night to worry about the quality of some sides who dine at the top table of European football but it was also an evening to feast the eyes on the quality of some of Chelsea’s passing, moving and finishing. The Chelsea fans who formed the majority of the 38,518 crowd loved it.
