Twitter reacts as Chelsea breeze past Qarabag in their Champions League opener

Chelsea strolled to an emphatic 6-0 victory over minnows Qarabag at Stamford Bridge in their opening UEFA Champions League game. The Blues saw familiar faces and their new signings get on the score-sheet.

Pedro got the Blues off to a flyer early on with a sublime effort from just outside the box while new signing Davide Zappacosta scored an unbelievable effort from the right flank. Cezar Azpilicueta ventured forward and scored off an inch-perfect pass from Cesc Fabregas and another new signing Tiemoue Bakayoko slammed home a rebound.

Michy Batshuhayi started poorly but ended the game with a goal and almost a second which was adjudged to be an own goal. The game ended 6-0 in the end and the Blues were at their rampant

Here is how Twitter reacted:

Chelsea's bench had the likes of Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata watching from the sidelines:,

Pedro's early goal gave Chelsea the lead just 5 minutes into the game,

Michy Batshuhayi didn't have the best of starts for the Blues and was immediately slated on Twitter,

Tonight is a reminder why we should have signed Llorente, and why Batshuayi doesn't start any game. #CHEQAR

While Gary Cahill went strongly into a challenge early on which had some fans worried,

Take cahill off before he gets sent off #CHEQAR

Davide Zappacosta's spectacular effort in the first half had fans in splits but surely he meant to cross that ball,

We have a new Costa and his name is Zappa! #CHEQAR #cfc

— Frank Edoho (@frankedoho) September 12, 2017

Either Zappacosta has amazing peripheral vision to see the keeper off his line or he struggled to curl the ball. #CFC #Zappacosta #UEFA

I just have one, just one question for Conte. Where the hell do you get this wing backs? I mean, damn! #CHEQAR

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois registered an assist for Zappacosta's long range goal,

Assist Courtois ??? #cheqar

Thibaut Courtois has more assists than Mesut Ozil this season. #CFC #CheQar

While some people needed a Geography lesson,

Overheard in a London pub: “How did Azerbaijan get a team in the Champions League, isn't it for European teams only?” ?????#UCL #CHEQAR pic.twitter.com/wESrYICudR

Michy Batshuhayi finally added another after a number of attempts,

Is this UEFA Champions League or Playstation? #CHEQAR
