UCL: 'You've Shown You're Serious Player’ - Wayne Rooney Hails Chelsea's Cucurella After Barça Defeat
Rooney called Cucurella's display the best from a left-back in years, highlighting his key role in keeping Barcelona's Lamine Yamal quiet and forcing a red card.
- On Tuesday, Wayne Rooney on Amazon Prime praised Marc Cucurella's player-of-the-match display as one of the best left-back performances in a long time after Chelsea's Champions League win at Stamford Bridge.
- By neutralising Lamine Yamal, Marc Cucurella kept the Barcelona teenager quiet for virtually the entire 90 minutes and provoked a foul from Ronald Araujo that led Slavko Vincic to show a second yellow.
- Rated 8.5, Marc Cucurella, Chelsea left-back, earned a standout rating while Chelsea fans revered him, singing his name all night after a faultless display.
- Chelsea's win positioned Enzo Maresca, Chelsea manager's side fifth in the table, boosted by Estevao's sublime goal and Liam Delap's third with 17 minutes remaining.
- Rooney argued that training against Estevao has prepared Marc Cucurella for tough opponents and suggested strong displays will boost confidence and influence the manager's selection.
