England star Harry Kane says one Chelsea player had a really good game this week in the Champions League.
We just had the latest round of Champions League matches played in the worlds biggest ever single football table in the new setup for the competition.
Chelsea player on Tuesday night of course, beating Benfica 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to get their first points of the competition after being back in it after some time out.
Jose Mourinho, who is now the manager of Benfica, was praising Estevao Willian after the game for his performance after coming on as a sub against his side.
And manager Enzo Maresca now has a big decision to make this weekend when his side face Liverpool in their next Premier League match, with Estevao knocking hard on the door now for a start and will be up against Alejandro Garnacho to be handed it.
But Chelsea had players playing in other games this week of course, with loanee Nicolas Jackson featuring for Bayern Munich.

Bayern thrashed Pathos 5-1 away from home last night and Jackson got on the scoresheet as well as grabbing an assist. Harry Kane continued his own incredible form by bagging two goals himself.
As cited on X, Kane was asked about Jackson after the game. He said:
“Nico was fantastic: a goal, an assist, and almost another goal at the end. I’m very happy for him.”
“We’ll need him all season; he should stay fit and fresh. It was a really good game from him. It might have looked easy, but that was due to how we played.”
Jackson clearly wants to stay at Bayern, so he will need to continue that good form all season for them to buy him on a permanent deal.
