Yet it was Alemany who pushed to make the move happen. Christensen was his 'personal bet', Mundo writes.

Many fans doubted the Dane when he arrived at the club but he has silenced his critics with a string of good performances recently.

"We are very happy, we played a good game, some scary moments. A difficult ending to the first half but we feel solid."

"I’m growing into the team still," the Dane said of his adaptation. 

"It’s always difficult when you are a new player and getting a long-term injury. I was unlucky. I felt like I had a great start, I was playing the games I wanted, so it was bad luck."

'Best defensive signing since Pique in 2008': one Barca player got Cules raving -- Xavi lauds him too

 fans raving, and rightly so. The Dane was incredibly well-positioned throughout the game and held Barca’s backline brilliantly and prevented at least 3-4 clear-cut chances with quick thinking.

 "Best defensive signing since Pique in 2008"

: "in my opinion, he is our best cb at the moment. no disrespect to araujo and kounde, just my personal opinion".

I actually told my friend who is a Chelsea fan that they don't know what they had in Christensen. I have also been a long time admirer. I told him we will steal him and they would regret it. It is still early days tho' I would love to see a season long consistence before going back to h
my friend. 😁😁

Emmanuel Jacob

that guy is too and if we get a strong midfield his consistency wouldn't be a problem again cos we all know he and araujo balde and kounde are getting better day by day

Gordon Wilson

i admired him and always wished for his signing and we got him cos chelsea didn't know his worth. thanks alemany

Chris has a calm mien and could easily fool anyone that he is lightweight whereas the guy's a defensive stalwart!
