‘I prefer to play Champions League games’ – Enzo Maresca mocks Man Utd as Chelsea boss bemoans that Ruben Amorim’s side have had ‘all week to prepare’ for Old Trafford showdown

With Chelsea winless in their last two, Maresca was asked if Saturday’s showdown comes with added weight. His response? A firm dismissal. 

“Absolutely not,” he began. “Personally, I have pressure on the game, that I want to try to win all the game. But it’s not because we didn’t win Brentford and we lost Bayern Munich away, that this game I feel more pressure.

“I always have pressure because we want to win all the games. And again, I think Bayern Munich away, PSG away and Barcelona away, probably they were the worst stadium to go and play the first game in. And we were there, we competed face-to-face. And we’ll see in the next one.”
