Twitter reacts as Chelsea discover Champions League group stage fate
Chelsea have been given a rather straightforward challenge in the Champions League group stages for 2020/21.
The Blues will face off against Europa League champions Sevilla and newcomers Krasnodar and Stade Rennais.
While Sevilla could prove to be a plucky opponent, Chelsea should be expected to prevail against Krasnodar and Rennais.
The Blues are easily the biggest team in the group and will be expected to improve upon last season’s performance.
With the players at our disposal, it is more of an expectation than hope. The game against Rennais will see Edouard Mendy face off against his former side.
Florent Malouda and DIdier Drogba played a key role in our Champions League triumph in 2012. The duo combined again during the draw to assist us once again.
In all, it was a fairly manageable draw for Chelsea who will be expected to make it to the next round. We take a look at how fans reacted to the news below.

Our squad is good enough 😏
No excuses from Frank lampard this time
Rennes are top of Ligue 1 and Sevilla are pretty good. Good draw but no as easy as people making it out to be although we should be qualifying comfortably.
