Lack of atmosphere in Wembley It was noted at the beginning of the match that this reminds us of the European first-leg match, in which the goal of the two teams was not to concede. The last match without fans at Wembley Stadium, before the fans return to the second semi-final on Sunday and next week with the final of the tournament. League Cup45 minutes of miserliness.
Tasteless first game, punctuated by a poor shot by Ben Chilwell, Deflected shot by Reece James from the front and some easy and isolated Kepa Arizabalaga. The meeting slept with two teams who did not want to get lost very quickly and realized that in addition to the initial 90 minutes there could be an extension.
