MATT BARLOW: Another date with Juventus has ended in another defeat for Chelsea... early season momentum has been lost and without Mason Mount providing balance, puzzles are emerging for Thomas Tuchel to solve

There will be no bullet before bedtime for Thomas Tuchel. Unlike the last man who led Chelsea into Turin as European Champions and lost, he will live to fight another day.

It was nine years ago when a defeat in the group stages at Juventus proved the end for Roberto di Matteo, who left out record-signing Fernando Torres, lost 3-0 and was sacked before his head was on the pillow.

Many things were different back then but another date with the Old Lady of Italian football has ended in another defeat.
