Chelsea bid farewell to the Champions League in a melancholy fashion this Tuesday (17th).
However, amid PSG’s ROUT, 3-0, right at Stamford Bridge (8-2 on aggregate), an unusual scene on the sidelines involving coach Liam Rosenior caught the attention of social media.
At 39 minutes into the second half, with the team needing an improbable six goals to take the game to extra time, Rosenior called forward Garnacho over to hand him a note with tactical instructions.
The scene was met with irony by the English press and fans, who described the move as theatrical and disconnected from the reality of the match.
The newspaper The Guardian did not hold back criticism, describing the manager as someone with a “LinkedIn style,” more focused on appearing to be a modern coach, with his new sneakers and theoretical speeches, than on solving the Blues’ chronic defensive problems.
Crisis in London
The continental elimination worsens Chelsea’s current situation, and now the team focuses its energy on the Premier League:
- Out of the Top 4: Currently in sixth place, the team is two points behind Aston Villa.
- Final Stretch: Eight matches remain to try to save the season and secure a spot in next year’s Champions League.
