Rosenior hands note to Chelsea players while they trail 8-2

Liam Rosenior handed a note to the Garnacho brothers during Chelsea’s Champions League second leg at Stamford Bridge against PSG, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

The former Strasbourg manager gave a note containing instructions to substitute Alejandro Garnacho; it was passed around among Chelsea players and eventually reached defender Aderabioyo in the 84th minute, with the score 0–3 and the aggregate 2–8 in favour of the French side.

The players’ faces showed bewilderment — Chelsea had looked helpless for much of the match, and the manager did not change his approach, instead offering tactical advice that nobody seemed to understand at a point when the tie was all but over.

Fans reacted with bafflement as the squad read the paper with looks of disbelief, seeing the focus on instructions as out of place amid a state of total crisis.
