“He better retire from football, & leave our club” – Blues fans tells Chelsea star to leave club after poor display in 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid
Following Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final, Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to slam Romelu Lukaku’s performance after he missed a golden chance that could have helped the team.
However, The miss greatly infuriated Chelsea fans, and the club’s supporters took to Twitter to air their opinions about the Belgian. Here is a selection of some of the fan views:
The Blues fans and Lukaku have had a tense relationship since his ill-timed Sky Italia interview last year. He had openly spoken about wanting to return to Inter Milan and criticized Thomas Tuchel’s tactics. The striker has also been in poor form and has seen his starting berth occupied by Kai Havertz, who has been in phenomenal form of late.
In fact, Havertz scored Chelsea’s sole goal in the first leg of the last-eight tie against Madrid. On the night, Lukaku was poor, making only four touches in 27 minutes on the pitch, two of which were passes and two of which were off-target shots, including the missed opportunity.
Blues fans will have every reason to be upset, with the Belgian being their club record signing and yet failing to deliver. Lukaku will hope to respond with goals on the pitch as he continues to endure a tense second-debut season at Stamford Bridge.
See Blues fans reactions below:
@markgoldbridge: 100 million for that……Lukaku is crap
@gyaigyimii: Sometimes I tell myself we used 100 million naira to buy Lukaku. It helps me sleep well at night
@Nigerianscamsss: Lukaku left Italy just to sit on the bench, sad ting, mad ting.
@AlexGoldberg_: Gutted. What happens if Mendy doesn’t make that error out of HT? Could be a whole different feeling right now. What happens if Lukaku actually puts one of those on net? Idk. A lot of ‘what if’s’ though. Definitely does feel like some of this team’s magic has gone a bit stale.
@EiFSoccer: Romelu Lukaku will forever be one of the biggest flops in Premier League history. Just embarrassing. An absolutely shocking miss from a man worth over 100 million.
@Ludo4PF: Lukaku gotta retire from soccer and become a Tight End
@iSlimfit: Lukaku is such a waste of space. Fans were just shouting at him to leave the club. “You need to f**king go, leave our club you bag of sh*t”.
