Michael Essien handles 2021/22 Champions League draw, tips Chelsea to win trophy again
Michael Essien was the big attraction on the night in Istanbul, as he presided over the UEFA Champions League draw for 2021/22.
The final selections of the former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Lyon, Bastia and AC Milan midfielder decided which groupings each of the 24 clubs had to enter.
Essien is a past winner of the prized championship with Chelsea and has voiced optimism that the current holders, the Blues, would be able to retain their crown by winning it back to back.
“I believe they (Chelsea) can do back-to-back wins for the club. It would be a very big achievement but they have a big squad, and with Lukaku back they are well prepared,” he said during the draw.
The FC Nordsjaelland coach, who made 59 appearances for the Black Stars, was in charge of the draw with his teammate at Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
