What Eden Hazard did with Mason Mount and Reece James following Chelsea's loss to Real Madrid



On Tuesday night, things were different at Stamford Bridge. When 40,000 spectators yell "man-on," it shows that the crowd is engaged, and the Blues had that when they started to try to fight back from a two-goal disadvantage.

Before the game even started, both the home and away fans made the Chelsea and Real Madrid players aware of the significance of the event. Like Chelsea's performance, the Blues had little chance of pulling off a comeback, but the atmosphere was a far cry from recent Premier League games. West London was on edge as the Chelsea supporters sought to rally behind their club, praising the effort that showed up but had not been as evident against Brighton.

Thibaut Courtois certainly heard the crowd at his back to the tune of a variety of musical expletives. Once again the former Chelsea stopper pulled off a series impressive saves to set the foundation for a Real Madrid victory and took each moment in his stride. The goalkeeper kissed the Real Madrid badge in response to the grief being directed his way at the close of the first 45 minutes which only served to rankle supporters who were desperate to inspire a comeback.

So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A.  As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

Pochettino identifies midfielder that will play key role in his squad

Mason Mount has been named a crucial member of his squad by Argentine international and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is widely expected to be Chelsea's next manager. This occurs as questions remain about Mount's future with the club. The English midfielder is thought to be a target for Pochettino because he sees him as a potential crucial member of his team.

Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona can help Chelsea's transfer efforts this summer, especially when it comes to landing a striker

Finding methods to help Chelsea's goal-scoring problems is their top focus going into the summer transfer season. The next head coach will have a significant task to tackle once they are appointed because there are issues with both opportunity generation and finishing. Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so. The lengthy wait is due to the hierarchy's use of a careful process to choose their next hire. Interim manager Frank Lampard has taken charge of the squad until the end of the season, allowing for a clean slate for the manager-in-waiting. With just one win in his tenure so far, the former midfielder was quite frank in his assessment of the assessment, saying last month: "Is there an issue with the balance of the squad? Maybe, yeah." As the club starts to plan for the future, it implies that some squad players who a...
