Alejandro Garnacho sends message after he wears Chelsea shirt for first time
Alejandro Garnacho made his first appearance for Chelsea in their 2-2 draw with Brentford on Saturday.
Enzo Maresca’s men were looking to build on their successive wins over West Ham United and Fulham, but Chelsea instead shared the points with Brentford.
The Bees took a 1-0 lead through Kevin Schade, before the Blues seemingly turned the game on its head with goals from Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo.
However, Fabio Carvalho’s last-gasp equaliser ensured that Brentford held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw on 13 September.
Alejandro Garnacho reveals his happiness wearing the Chelsea shirt
After Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United, the 21-year-old is hoping to make a big impact at Stamford Bridge.
However, in an 11-minute debut against Brentford, the winger could not help Maresca’s men earn a victory over their West London rivals.
Taking to his Instagram story on Sunday, 14 September, Garnacho wrote: “Very happy to wear this shirt for the first time.
“See you Wednesday in UCL (Champions League). Thanks for the support blues.”
Alejandro Garnacho has a huge opportunity to prove himself to Enzo Maresca
Even though Maresca made several additions in the summer transfer window, Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Chelsea remain keen on Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.
| Chelsea’s next three fixtures | All competitions 2025/26 |
| Bayern Munich (A) | 17/09, Champions League |
| Manchester United (A) | 20/09, Premier League |
| Lincoln City (A) | 23/09, Carabao Cup |
Meanwhile, after being handed a limited number of minutes to make an impact against Brentford, Garnacho will be eager to perform well in the Champions League against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, 17 September.
The former Man United man could then be handed to prove his worth against the Red Devils in the Premier League on Saturday, 20 September.
Garnacho is lucky that two high-profile fixtures have fallen so early in his Chelsea career, as he has a major opportunity to prove Maresca that he can be trusted with game time throughout the campaign.
The Blues boast several talented wingers like Pedro Neto and fellow summer signing Jamie Gittens, but the ex-Man United star can stake his claim by making an impact against both Bayern Munich and the Red Devils.
