Chelsea back in top four, but Super League drama overshadows Brighton draw
Football: Chelsea back in top four, but Super League
drama overshadows Brighton draw
Chelsea moved into slotxoดาวน์โหลด the Premier League's top four after a 0-0
draw against Brighton on Tuesday (Apr 20), but the result was completely
overshadowed by the club's role in derailing the controversial European Super
League.
Just before kick-off at Stamford Bridge, it was widely reported that Chelsea owner
Roman Abramovich had decided to withdraw from the controversial breakaway plan.
While there was no official confirmation from the club, the Blues are understood to be
preparing documents to formally quit the tournament.
Manchester City became the first team to officially pull out, with Barcelona and Atletico
Madrid also reportedly set to withdraw.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan
and Inter Milan are the remaining founder members of a Super League that now looks
certain to crumble before a match is ever played.
Against that dramatic backdrop, Chelsea produced a flat performance, although
the draw saw Thomas Tuchel's side move into fourth place above West Ham on goal
difference.
"We talk of nothing else but Super League before the match. I was affected so I think
the players were affected," Tuchel said. |
