It was -10 degrees celsius at kick-off time in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where Chelsea are taking on Astana in the UEFA Conference League.
Risking the cold are a bunch of youngsters, as boss Enzo Maresca has opted to give his more senior players a rest.
But the freezing temperatures didn't seem to affect 18-year-old Marc Guiu, who bagged a brace after just 18 minutes of action.
Guiu is one of four players under the age of 20 that started the match, alongside Josh Acheampong, Samuel Rak-Sakyi and Tyrique George, making this the first time ever that Chelsea have started four teenagers in a major European competition.
And they seem to be holding the fort perfectly well so far.
