Pep, having absolutely nothing to lose, fielded his second eleven against Chelsea, leaving the likes of Erling Haaland and midfielder maestro, Kevin de Bruyne on the bench.

But, their absence was not in a way felt, as Julian Alvarez’s first-half goals were enough to give a dominant City side all three points.
