Chelsea traveled to face Panathinaikos in the group stage match of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Details: Before the match, Chelsea players marked a touching gesture. The Blues honored the memory of former Panathinaikos and Greece national team player George Baldock, who passed away in early October.
The Chelsea players posed for a photo with Baldock's jersey, bearing the number 32, which was his age at the time of his death.
Recall: Baldock, who played as a right-back or right wing-back at Super League club Panathinaikos, was born in England but held Greek citizenship due to his heritage. He represented the Greek national team in international competitions.
From 2017 to 2024, he played for Sheffield United before moving to Panathinaikos in the summer of 2024.
