How to watch Lille vs Chelsea in the Champions League live on TV: The last 16 tie comes at a crossroads in Chelsea’s history. LOSC vs Chelsea headlines the action tonight.
Things can change quite quickly in football, eh? Three weeks ago, it was business as usual for Chelsea as they established a 2-0 win against reigning French champions following the first leg at Stamford Bridge.
Flash forward to the present and Chelsea is a club embroiled in an unprecedented crisis, with the UK government effectively seizing control of the the club owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, paralysing the club’s finances and threatening its very future.
It was thought the game was thought to be under threat, after it was reported that the EU had also placed sanctions on Chelsea, but at the time of writing it appears to be going ahead. Chelsea remain hot favourites to progress to the quarter-final draw on Friday, but one has to wonder whether the off-the-field turmoil at the club is eventually going to take its toll on the field too.
