About as close to a perfect Champions League night as you’re going to get. Chelsea smash Ajax 5–1, three different teenagers on the scoresheet, and plenty of players rested up too.

Chris and Joe take it all in: the early red card and instant opener, Enzo and Estêvão sharing pens like it’s five-a-side, Mark G getting off the mark. We get into Estêvão’s swagger, Gittens growing in confidence, and why this squad suddenly feels deep instead of thin.

There’s love for Reggie Walsh - 17 going on 27 - and a bit less love for Tosin after that clumsy penalty. We talk rotation, rest, and why nights like this matter if you’re serious about going deep in Europe.

Then it’s on to Sunderland at the weekend. Are Chelsea finally settling into themselves? Is Marisca quietly cooking? And are we… starting to trust this team again?

Voicenotes on all that and more.
