Sergio Peña will have his rematch in the Champions League
The Peruvian midfielder was called up by Malmo FF for the fourth matchday of the Group Stage (H) against Chelsea and will seek, along with his team, to give the blow to the reigning champion at home.
As seen on social media, Sergio Peña published an image of his last training session with Malmo FF prior to the match against Chelsea, where he wrote "Champions League" along with a soccer ball emoji.
And, pay attention, Malmo arrives motivated, as they have achieved their second consecutive victory in Sweden with Sergio Peña on the field: they defeated AIK (1-0) and Sirius (3-2), becoming the leader of their country's league.
It is worth remembering that amid praise and applause, Sergio Peña left the last match against Chelsea, which was his first start in the Champions League, and although the reigning champion gave his club a 4-0 beating, his presence was highlighted.
Malmo vs. Chelsea: Champions League rematch
On Tuesday, November 2, Sergio Peña's Malmo will host Chelsea, the reigning Champions League champion, for the fourth matchday of the Group Stage. The match will take place at the Eleda Stadion in Sweden and will be broadcasted by Star+ and ESPN.
Malmo and their options in the Group Stage
Malmo FF's current situation in the Champions League is complicated: they have lost all three of their matches, but they still have a chance to qualify for the Europa League. The Swedish team will have to win at home against Zenit from Russia, get points against Chelsea or Juventus, and hope that the Saint Petersburg team loses all remaining matches. Only then can they continue competing at the continental level.
However, the task will not be easy. Malmo FF has a goal difference of -11 and when they faced Zenit, they lost 4-0 as visitors. The task is difficult but not impossible.
