The 31-year-old is on loan for the rest of the campaign from Juventus and he was presented to the Stamford Bridge crowd before the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg match against Tottenham Hotspur.
Instead of sitting high in the stands, the Argentine sat behind the dugout throughout the game and was massively involved on the sidelines as he seemed to kick every ball with his new team-mates.
That included sarcastically clapping referee Martin Atkinson when he finally gave a yellow card to Spurs after more than ten fouls.But it was during the penalty shootout that Blues fans will really love what he did as was as involved on the sidelines as any player who had been there for much longer.
The striker kneeled down, looking anxious as one by one the Chelsea players stepped up and one by one they planted the ball into the back of the net.However, when Chelsea eventually won the shootout 4-2 the striker rose to his feet and roared as loud as anyone in a true moment of passionThat will delight Blues fans to see from their new striker, who could get his first run out in a Chelsea shirt on Sunday in the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday.
