Chelsea said goodbye to the Champions League on Tuesday. The Londoners were unable to pull off a comeback against Real Madrid, who won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a stellar brace from Brazilian Rodrygo Goes.
After the game, Chelsea's legend Didier Drogba criticised the transfer strategy and attitude of a number of players on 'Canal Plus':"I knew this club with a certain class during the Abramovich era, but today I find it lacking.
The striker continued in the same vein: "It's very hard for me to see how they got rid of certain people. They should go back to the principles and values they had. I no longer recognise my club.
"Bringing in players like Petr Cech, Andriy Shevchenko, Herman Crespo, Michael Essien, Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, I go on – it was done to win titles. They are players with a certain experience. The strategy is now different; we bet on young players. But a dressing room of over 30 players is difficult [to manage] for a manager," he concluded.
