Denis Zakaria finally made his highly-anticipated debut with Chelsea on Wednesday night, and it was one for the books. The 25-year-old Swiss player scored on debut with his new team, leading the Blues to a 2-1 win against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. Chelsea finished in the top spot in Group E with a game to spare, and the match against Dinamo Zagreb at Stamford Bridge just further cemented their domination. The game wasn’t off to such a great start after Bruno Petkovic scored a goal for Dinamo just seven minutes later, but the Blues quickly recovered and made a comeback before the first half was even over. It all started with Raheem Sterling scoring for the Blues about 10 minutes later before Denis Zakaria sealed the deal with his very first goal in the Chelsea jersey. “It was very exciting and I’m very happy for that debut and for the goal… It was important for me to play good, to do a good game, and to help the team to win. The job is done and I’m really happy about that. It was an amazing debut for me. I’m proud,” said Zakaria after the match. The Swiss midfielder was loaned to Chelsea from Juventus back in September till the end of the season, with an option of a permanent transfer once the season is over.
