Chelsea fans all blame Todd Boehly for Real Madrid defeat after crazy pre-match prediction

[ad_1]

CHELSEA fans can’t believe Todd Boehly predicted a 3-0 win at Real Madrid – as they blamed the 2-0 LOSS on the club owner.

Boehly’s pre-match advice stunned fans ahead of the Champions League quarter-final first leg – and afterwards they were even more convinced he had no idea.

The American businessman told fans to “have a lot of faith” – but many supporters lost theirs in him when defending champions Real sank the Blues at ten.

Karim Benzema hit a 21st-minute opener before Ben Chilwell landed a direct red for tripping Rodrygo just before the hour mark.

Chelsea fought back well enough in interim boss Frank Lampard’s second game and offered more goal threat than in Saturday’s 1-0 Premier League loss to Wolves.

But Marco Asensio’s clean finish in the 79th minute leaves Real in control for next Tuesday’s second leg.

One fan posted: “You can’t blame @ChelseaFC managers. Blame only lies with Todd Boehly. Running Chelsea like it’s a Fifa game. A squad full of the same players (midfielders) and not forwards Boehly suggesting they win 3-0 Embarrassing.

Another wrote down his prediction and added, “Shame on you.”

A third wrote: “No this is extremely bad… Todd just wants to ruin our club.”

And a fourth said: “Todd Boehly really said he was going to win 3-0 just to see us completely and utterly outclassed by Madrid.”

Boehly’s earlier assessment was called “satire”.

But a more optimistic fan joked: “Todd Boehly actually meant 3-0 in the second leg. Not tonight.”

Boehly made his prediction after he was spotted leaving a restaurant in Madrid and was asked by a reporter about his verdict.

He has answered; “Chelsea will win.” When asked by how much, he replied “3-0”.

Separately, Boehly told Sky Sports: “I say to the fans – have a lot of faith.

We see this as a long term process, we have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of faith in the future. Our future is bright.

Fans immediately went into shock mode.

One said: “He is so crazy. Real Madrid will win 4-0.”

Another reacted: “He must be joking.”

And he was warned – accurately: “This is going to age horribly.”
