The Blues suffered a defeat in their opening fixture in Zagreb, a result that saw Thomas Tuchel fired from his role less than 24 hours later.
New coach Graham Potter fielded a slightly different line up when they faced Austrian giants RB Salzburg on Wednesday night as the former Brighton boss sought to start his tenure on a high.
Chelsea and Salzburg evenly marshalled out themselves in the first period with the hosts having the best of chances but failing to convert.

With both sides deadlocked at the break, fans had to wait until the second half to see the opener and first goal under the Graham Potter era.
Three minutes after the restart, Reece James combined beautifully with Mason Mount who then found Raheem Sterling as the Blues' summer signing finally broke the deadlock for Chelsea giving the hosts the deserved lead.
