“Should be his last game for the club”, “Lampard should bench him forever”, “He killed this game” – Fans goes wild on Chelsea star after 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid
Chelsea fans have firmly placed the blame on Trevoh Chalobah for their disappointing exit from the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid.
The Blues were beaten 2-0 by Los Blancos on Tuesday (April 18), losing 4-0 on aggregate. Frank Lampard’s side showed signs of life but were punished by a ruthless Rodrygo display.
The Brazilian attacker’s opener arrived in the 58th minute, and it was a moment Chalobah won’t want to watch again. Rodrygo glided forward and towards the English defender, who gambled by attempting a slide tackle on the winger.
However, his efforts were in vain, as he was left on the ground to watch on as Rodrygo eased his way into Chelsea‘s box. The Brazilian played a one-two with compatriot Vinicius Junior before slotting past Blues goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Rodrygo sealed a brace and Real Madrid‘s place in the Champions League semifinals in the 80th minute. The Los Blancos forward darted forward and put together a slick move, with Federico Valverde breaking past Kepa. He played the ball back to Rodrygo, who fired home into an empty net.
Chalobah has been handed more game time amid Kalidou Koulibaly’s injury. However, the Englishman couldn’t handle Madrid’s attackers on a dismal night. He was dribbled past twice and made only one interception.
One fan claimed that Chalobah had been drinking at half-time:
“These two screenshots are mad, cucurella and chalobah had tequila shots at HT.”
Another demanded that the Blues sell the 23-year-old defender in the summer:
“Chalobah killed this game. Sell him in the summer.”
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Chalobah’s disappointing display against Real Madrid on Tuesday:
@GrahamSmithh: Cucurella and Chalobah can hang their heads in shame.
@cfc_charlie7: Should be Chalobah’s last game for the club. Useless fellow.
@iget_manaz: Chalobah is not good enough to be in Chelsea’s bench.
@RElDVAMPED: chalobah killed this game sell him in the summer
@mmeshari072: “No defense just vibes”
