All eyes were firmly fixed on Champions League football once again last night, and in particular for Chelsea fans, RB Leipzig versus Tottenham was the one to watch.
Chelsea’s on loan defender Ethan Ampadu got handed a rare start for Leipzig after they had been hit by a number of injuries.
Not only did he put in a fine performance, he also helped his team beat Chelsea’s London rivals Tottenham, which only helped fuel Blues fans excitement watching the game.
Amapdu is known to be a real hot prospect, but seeing him play so well and assured on the biggest stage possible after playing hardly any minutes at all this season, just reiterates how good this guy is.
Chelsea fans are keen to have him back in their squad next season, and you can see why.
There were floods of compliments coming in from Blues fans last night, see below..

I said so many times, don't let the lack of game time fool you. Ampadu is a superb talent. Still, one of our best talents at our club x needs to be looked at seriously in pre season for your CDM solution. None of this Ndidi x Soumaré nonsense.
The ingredients are in the kitchen.

Flog Christensen & play Ampadu. Sorted and £30mil in the bank.

Can we recall Ampadu and send Jorginho to Leipzig?

Really good from Ampadu today. Could probably do with a bit of that kind of quality at Chelsea.

UNREAL second half. Was clearing the ball much better and read the runs so well.
Clean sheet. We move. Agent Ampadu against Spurs.
Let’s see if he can try and stay in the team now. Could be a really interesting next couple months. https://t.co/XrzbIw3oaI

One of the best players on the pitch. Remarkable given how little he’s played. In one performance, #Ampadu has made a strong case to be part of #CFC squad next season. https://t.co/3wo4ty0fjF

Probs the last situation Ampadu would have wanted to be in, when he’s carrying a small knock
Kept his cool and dealt with the situation well
Very composed performance with some excellent balls out from the back.
Must get more game time after tonight

What a superb performance from Ethan Ampadu. Looked very mature out there for his first UCL start.

The best performance by a Chelsea CB all season and it wasn't for Chelsea 😂
Well done Ampadu, needed back at Chelsea more than people realise. Better than every CB currently at the club. pic.twitter.com/SIfnFBwdg0
