Premier League Champions Chelsea on Tuesday night lost 3-0 in Rome in the UEFA Champions League, and the scoreline could have been a lot more worse.
Italian Serie A side Roma took the lead versus the English Premier League holders inside 39 seconds, and the Italian side never looked back.
Italy international forward Stephan El Shaarawy was the hero of the night for the hosts scoring twice against Antonio Conte’s men.
The Blues‘ loss was completed by a second-half goal from Argentina international Diego Perotti.
After the clash in Rome, Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was questioned to break down why the team was so poor in the UEFA Champions League.
The Belgium international goalkeeper, looking deflated, tried to claim that the Blues were “unfortunate” in the AS Roma match, admitting Chelsea failed to take their opportunities up front.
The very moment of the encounter which seemed stuck in the goalkeeper’s head after the match was Italian forward El Shaarawy’s second goal.
The Belgium international Superstar explained how he tried to warn former Roma defender Antonio Rudiger of the imminent attacking danger, “but maybe he [Rudiger] understood something [the attacking situation] else”.
In another post-match brutal assessment of the defeat, Thibaut Courtois disclosed “Chelsea lost their fighting spirit” in the second stanza of the match.
