In the fifth round of Group E of the UEFA Champions League this season, the Premier League giants Chelsea scored 2 goals with the outstanding performance of Havertz, and defeated Austria's Salzburg Red Bull 2-1 away. Therefore, counting this victory, Chelsea has achieved an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 3 draws after Potterter took over as coach, and Chelsea has successfully won the tickets to the Champions League knockout stage after winning 3 consecutive victories in the group stage.

In the game against Red Bull Salzburg , Havertz caused a melee after scoring the ball in the penalty area in the 22nd minute. When the opponent's player made a mistake in the clearance, Kovacic took the opportunity to score smoothly.

With the results, I am very happy to be able to qualify one round earlier.”
