“Who sent you?” “Bench him please” – Chelsea fans reacts to Garnancho’s shocking post ahead of Arsenal clash
According to latest reports, Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho has sent social media into meltdown with a dramatic, captionless Instagram story posted just an hour before kick-off anticipation for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Arsenal.
The image shows a bloodied adult lion staring intensely ahead, with a smaller, equally fierce and bloodied cub beside it – a powerful visual of resilience, danger, and raw power despite visible wounds after a hunt or battle.
Fans and Chelsea accounts have quickly interpreted the post as a motivational message and subtle warning to Arsenal.
Garnacho – who joined Chelsea from Manchester United in a controversial move last summer amid form struggles – appears to be portraying himself and the team as “wounded lions” still ready to strike.
The lion imagery ties perfectly into Chelsea’s club crest, while the blood and intensity suggest the Blues are hurting from the recent defeat.
