However, the Blues are undefeated in their last two home matches in the Champions League having recorded two successive wins.
“Disappointed. We’re all disappointed. It was the tough game we expected," Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said as he reacted to their loss to Juventus.
"You have to play with zero mistakes in midfield and take the risks in the right moment. To do this you need to be in rhythm, good decision-making I didn’t feel us fresh today mentally.
"We were in training yesterday. Today it was not like this. I don’t know why. If you need any proof, look at the two ball losses in the first half and the cheap goal we gave away.”

Meanwhile, Malmo suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg away in their previous Group H game on September 29.
As a result, the Swedish champions are winless in their last three matches in this competition having recorded three consecutive defeats.
Malmo are also winless in their last two away matches in the Champions League having registered two defeats in a row as the visitors.
This will be the first Champions League match between the two teams, but Chelsea defeated Malmo both home and away during the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League season.
