A shaky 2-1 loss to Servette in Geneva didn’t stop Chelsea from squeaking into the Europa Conference League group stage.

Christopher Nkunku’s penalty gave the Blues an early lead that they would later give up. Jeremy Guillemenot’s deft strike and Enzo Crivelli’s astute header gave Servette the lead.Chelsea prevailed 3-2 on aggregate despite relentless Swiss pressure that could have sent the match into overtime.

After a nervous night, Nick Purewal gives his assessment of the Chelsea players.

Lukas Jorgensen 6

He made a few good stops before completely losing his footing and allowing the home team to score their second goal.

Axel Disasi’s five

Despite the benefits, the defender still has trouble in crucial situations. He was left for dead in the path of Servette’s initial objective.

Subject: Tosin Adarabioyo

Rock solid throughout the majority of the match before coming out of nowhere to allow Servette’s second goal.

Mr. Badiashile, Benoit

Again, he frequently allowed too much room around him and was caught off guard for Servette’s second goal.

Vérito Renato 5

He looks great when he has the ball, but he was unable to reach the cross that would have scored the goal.

Eugenio Fernandez SIX

Consistently innovative, but still has a ways to go before he’s fully controlled, particularly in his positioning. The Blues would rather have him play higher upfield, but the captain needs to hone his tactics until Romeo Lavia gets back.

Chapter 6 by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Although the midfielder’s quality is undeniable, the Leicester acquisition has yet to settle in at Stamford Bridge.

Badi Madueke 6,

Still looks savage and angry, but he can’t replicate his hat trick heroics from Wolves. Currently has all the necessary components to launch a significant campaign.

Gregory Nkunku (6) and Mykhailo Mudryk (5)

Despite winning the game-changing penalty, he was unable to regain his footing. Under increased scrutiny from new manager Maresca, who is seeking more from the Ukraine wing, the pressure is on to deliver.

Michel Guiu 5

Despite heavy pressure off the ball, he had trouble leading the line. The first goal by Servette came after a costly loss of possession.

Other options:

Tyrique George (at 62 years old) 7

Impressive first game performance by the native kid, who showed great intelligence and skill with the ball and cleverly found his teammates to score.

For Fernandez, 62, Moises Caicedo is on the case.

Took over as captain after Fernandez but failed to motivate Chelsea to a rousing victory.

On behalf of Guiu, Nicolas Jackson (62), 6

During his active cameo, he missed two golden opportunities to win the game in the dying minutes. I thought I had the ball in the net, but I was actually offside.

On behalf of Mudryk, Cole Palmer (73), 7

Energized Chelsea as soon as he came off the bench, setting his teammates for success by creating opportunities for them.

Acheampong, Bettinelli, Colwill, Sanchez, and Cucurella were not used.
